Except it’s not? People want to fly the F-16 and F-14s because they are iconic planes that people know. In terms of fun though? I actually have the same amount, if not more fun in my MiG-29. Fun is a thing you can’t measure as a whole because people find different things fun.
Just for clarity sake, what plane are you waiting for?
Going to need to wait for other nations to even get close to catching up before they are added to the Mig-29. Britain doesnt even have a competitive 11.7 yet, not too mention something that could go toe to toe to a 12.3+ like those
point is those nations have 0 planes for current meta, and the end of the tree vehicles end in superpower made planes anyways
there is no point in giving them any competitive jets right now but rush the jets for countries that can have them, and then incorporate the better jets from the countries that lack them
Sea Harrier FA2, Hawk 200 or EF Typhoon DA2 would all be appropriate for the current game balance I reckon. US and soviets both ahve top tier jets that will be 100% playable and competitive for a while yet. Britain doesnt have anything.
Militaries export their arms. Yes, you’re going to see the same vehicles sometimes, operated by different people.
The end of the British tree is Eurofighter. A joint venture fighter, much like Panavia Tornado.
It still doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get something. They need viable air power. Britains last fighter? Phantom. Britians highest BR plane? Subsonic IR missiles. Britians most modern plane? A bomber with Skyflash.
Most already have F-16 or Mig-29 which are meta. Sweden likely getting Gripen this update or next, that just leaves france maybe needing something a little better, but mirage is fairly usable for now I think.
Britain is the only nation with no potential prospects for a top tier jet capable jet probably for the next year until we get a fully armed EF Typhoon
To be fair, I feel it should have gotten the 73s. They’re not as OP as what everyone makes them out to be.(To be fair, they aren’t working correctly ingame atm)
I think reserve judgement for a few weeks. GOod chance they are going to be broken AF, and the mig-29 already can go toe to toe with almost everything with just R-60s. R-73s would make it the undisputed top jet unless everything else got equal
It’s fought F-22’s and Rafales before so why not.
It’s a 4+ platform.
F-35 is an export plane. Literally designed for export.
We’re decades away from seeing F-35 though so I dont see even why that’s your argument.
What’s the take here? That there should only be USSR and USA as playable nations since those two wont share any aircraft?
