That was badly worded on my part. I meant it’s very debatable if the F/A-18A should even be lower in BR compared to the F-14A.

I don’t doubt that the F/A-18F will go at the end of the line, but I think the FA.2 should come before the hornets to A) Give people a reason to use it, because why would you use the FA.2 when you could grind out the AF/A-18A instead and B) Keep some kind of tech tree continuity
Well, the reason to grind the FA.2 should be because its a competent airframe with its own playstyle and use in a match. Right now you have no reason to play it even if it was free, its useless compared to 13.0 and even some of the 12.7s. Its literally a 9.7 airframe with missiles from a 13.0.
Gaijin needs to fix (off the top of my head)
- Harrier Gen 1 flight model inaccuracies (it should be incredibly manoeuvrable, at all speed ranges)
- harrier heat signature is wrong. The game models the IR signatures as thrust output, the harriers are cold irl and could even decoy missiles by pointing the thrust vector down.
- Harrier VIFF
- Harrier No black plume of smoke out the back when in level flight (seriously, ingame it makes the B52 look like an eco friendly smart car)
- Bol is also modelled wrong, and this really hinders the harrier since it has BOL as its main CM source
Im sure there is more, but the 13.0 FA.2 is literally one of the WORST vehicles at its BR… but dont worry the F15A gets to club 11.7s now

Why are you foldering the Baz with the Kurnass 2000??? Shouldn’t the Baz be foldered with the Baz Meshupar?
You’re doing something similar to Japan’s F-15s and their F-4EJ Kai here:
What’s with the disparity?

We don’t need 5th gen aircraft at all.
For gods sake gaijin hasn’t managed to get 4.5 gen working properly yet and they want to add 5th gen?

It was confirmed last year. 5th Gen we’re supposed to see in like Q3 or Q4 of 2026.
Now that the IL-28 is on 7.3 in GRB, shouldn´t the Ar-234 C3 be at 7.0?
Great, I talismaned Tonka GR.1 for preparing potential Rank 9, then Gaijin decided to nerf it as Rank 7.
I can’t wait to see new Rank 8 premium jets for us. :|
@Morvran
What do you think about why Gaijin keeps Exported verison of F-84F in Rank 6 if they can send Tonka down to Rank 7?

and they somehow manage to butcher rank VIII-IX by making bonkers decision
A recent stream from the guy who does the dev streams I forgot his name confirmed 5th gen is not coming 2026.
IIRC they said not Early 2026 so I assume late 2026 as there’s still stuff they wanna add before 5th gen.
Didn’t even think about that, but yep, total BS

Oh absolutely, the early Harriers are in a terrible spot and thats really annoying because they’re cool as hell. I just want the FA.2 to be more accessible than it currently is.

Great now everyone’s rank 7 premiums are completely useless for grinding now.

Man I’m so grateful that F-15 is the same BR as a Russian MiG-29A now I can really feel like Iraqi pilot going against a US air force with god tier R60 missile

Even some 4th gens barely work like the F14, and AMRAAMs arent correct in any way at all despite blatantly obvious documents and bug reports, and im sure stealth needs no introcution with the F-117 and commanche being the worst airacft to use at their BR because stealth just, doesnt work, but yeah, lets add completely classified mystery aircraft where all of their “realism” is left to how gaijin feels because that should be top priority!

F15s are ruining the sim experience, the mig 29A needs the r73s asap, there are so many planes with irccm missiles at that br now

Would you kindly do something else? Other than adding more and more of russian wet dreams?
Like, I dont know, new game modes that are not clusterf…s in the middle of the map?
But F-15 Alphas fighting MiG-29s with restricted weapons is not a US wet dream?
Like the F-15A, they have their full weapons capability, and MiG-29s have almost the same capability as Iraqi MiG-29s when they were fighting Americans. Like, I’m sorry I may be biased for Russia, but that sounds like a US wet dream to me.
