There are 3 F.1s with the same weaponry minus one 30mm on the CT with the same performance.
F.1 is held at 12.0 by Magic 2 having the earliest model the F.1C without Magic 2 at a lower Br would add variety, fill a gap in the tech tree and make for glinteresting gameplay.
No, you’ve been provided with very sensible and for the most part composed messages regarding why the environment you propose sending it to would be both detrimental to said environment, and in my case I even added why it would be detrimental to the platform itself when considering uptiers from the rating you suggest. But these positions do not support your argument, so you cast them aside and deem them wanting in ways you’ve not highlighted outside of to say we’re wrong, with very little in the way to demonstrate it.
Well first of all it’s false, the F1 CT has more bombs and is access to ground attack, it also has a better RWR and a much more complete HUD. Then I don’t see the problem between having a similar plane between the tech tree and the premium. Finally as I explained at least 3 times above, there are elements that are not yet modeled in the game but which make the planes much more different, the F1C is limited in its external carrying of countermeasure pod while the F1C 200 and the F1 CT can carry the whole range of French pods
Already demonstrated that there is not 3 with the same payload. There are 2, and they are of effectively the same variant so both the tech tree and premium players can enjoy it. CT and the base F1C and F1C-200 are different even aside from payload.
You want to know what would allow for that without degrading the experience of either premium players or tech tree players? An early variant specifically to have the limited AAM capacity. Which you could put your energy behind, instead of wanting to create a virtually unplayable experience in an uptier from 11.7 without all aspect AAMs facing 12.7 aircraft. You can argue all you want that it would be 11.3, but the flight model would not facilitate that. That is before we consider weaponry and defensive capacity.*
*I would also note, in your own words, you acknowledge that F1s would effectively seal club at a lower rating with: “It could be a beast at 11.3 or 11.7”
Explaining why you’re wrong is not casting aside. Screaming into the aether that your opposition knows very little and you’re the only one with knowledge is.
Some of the F1 Cs were converted into C 200s (about half of the fleet I think) but both aircraft were in service at the same time and were withdrawn from service at the same time, it is normal that they have the same armament
In game there is barely a difference between the 3 versions.
Unfortunately the French F.1C-200 ended up being a premium instead of a Spanish or Iraqi one but that simply is the situation.
I have explained why, but you don’t want to hear it, so you don’t comprehend it. I am sure these other lovely individuals could point to my explanations and you would still beseech the void to say it isn’t so.
As far as air to air is concerned it pretty much is.
Personally I would have prefered to have C in a early configuration, with CT and C-200 being the later tech tree variants with a Iraqi or Spanish variant as a premium.
