Oh believe me I know that I know it takes very long for these things to be made but my problem is unless it took a lot longer then expected for liscensing the AJS had been CDK leaked years prior
But hey at least after this update I can grind stuff faster now :D
Yeah, Chally 2 farm is going to be sweet!

I dont believe the F2 will be that high, its going to be strong but its a fairly early AESA which will no doubt be gimped but we have to remember its based off the Block 40 F16
Mhm and even more for aircraft
Eh… I have everything for britain already researched, maybe if I can ever be bothered with another another :P

It took Polyphony Digital 8 years to scan 500 cars.
Military aircraft are a bit harder to build cockpits for than production cars.
@XSpaz1NOuTX
CDK can be updated with information that just started development, or is in deep development, and there’s no indication of which is which.
T-90 took years, Type 10 took years.
And we’ll never know what the shortest dev time for a vehicle was.
On top of that, it’s not anymore early than F-35 & F-22’s AESA. AESA is still insane, and no they won’t be “Gimped”.
And no, F-2 is not based off Block 40.
It has a 12G load factor limit, dogfight wing geometry, 8 AAM pylons for a combination of 6 IR missiles, & 4 radar missiles. Said radar missiles are AAM-4s, a heavy AMRAAM like missile.
Don’t undersell the F-2.
Lol fair I have most trees around 6 - 8 BR as I don’t like the obvious seal clubing behond that
I can forgive the cockpit… but the radar in my opinion was unforgivable. The F3 had 3 radars in 6 months, but FRS1 had the F5-Es radar since it was added.

I’m hoping that by Monday or Tuesday we will see an update too the dev server that adds some of the vehicles in the files that are still planned to come.
I’m also hoping we get a nice detailed devblog that breaks down the different functions of the RWR

i have never said this.
now who is talking out their ***?
yes, but it dosnt need to, becuase in the first half second its gonna do a 180 degree turn on a player that flew past the SMT, and its gonna slam up that players tail without him noticing. its a THRUST VECTORING MISSILE. it can do stuff in the first second that no other missile ingame can, exept maybe the SRAAM the GR.1 gets. but that missile is very short range. the R-73 can go like 4-5 km and get a hit on an accelerating away target.
is it tho? ive seen it still do very tight turns and hold its own quite well against F-16’s.
Viggen will still face it in EVERY match it gets into.
keep telling yourself that. in a Headon the SMT will win, tracers in its gun helps alot. if you get in a dogfight, the SMT will win. if you try to fly away it will win, it is faster and has stronger engines, and better missiles. turns better. and has HMD.
IRL yes. ingame? not so mutch. as a regular Viggen enjoyer. i can say it quite easily loses locks on people heading straight towards me in a clear sky with no interference. it has no problem locking onto players at 10-30 km range, but under that it starts to struggle alot. and its just at 10km range its missiles are usefull.
eh. maybe. not to read up on what Japan can get tbf.
Im not underselling the F2 by any means but to be fair theres very good sources in the forums on the XFS and the F2A which have highly credible sources which state it is based of the Block 40 F16C but I will go back and reread to make sure, and with its radar im sure gaijin will fuck with it somehow but we’ll see it will be the best radar in game no doubt on release
In my experience in the Viggen its radar is for sure one of the best in game just has the unfortunate placement on an airframe not designed for WT style combat
Hey, Blue Fox is on dev server.
We won that round!
@Antezscar
I did a 20 minute dogfight against my friend in his SMT. I used F-16AJ.
I flared every single R-73 he launched. By all means get on dev server & use the SMT for yourself against me if you wish. Open challenge.
In head-ons, SMTs lose, cause flare, reverse, on their tail until they’re gone.
SMT doesn’t have that strong of engines, same RD-33s heavier aircraft.
BTW, I apologize if anything I post causes you mixed feelings. My only intention is to share my perspective.

What do you mean solid? Do you think F-16A mum can compete with jas 39 and the other 12.7, even 13.0, with aim7m and aim9l only?
Yes it finally came. But took 9 months. And that was 9 months with at least one tech mod badgering them every chance he got. In my opinion, that was 6-7 months too late.
I was expecting this delay to be because of the FA2 and both were coming together. but the lack of FA2 either tells me its ready or at least close but being withheld, or someone dropped the ball.

Let’s say 13.0 is AMRAAMs and 9Ls, maybe 9Ms, AAM-5s, Python 4s…
F-16A can face against 4 of those just fine IMO, as its team, my team, will also have 4 of those, and ARHs are easier to defeat than people give War Thunder’s third person perspective credit for.
War Thunder already makes Aim-7s & R-27ERs FAR easier to dodge than in forced first person perspective.
@Morvran
Takes time to research radars and verify all information is correct.

It possible to keep up with US and USSR as Britain and Sweden
Tornado F.3 for example they can just give AIM-9M as a placeholder before adding 9L/I and also AIM-120B same as JA-37D because both of them can use AMRAAM
And there many more such as Italian F-16 ADF and Taiwanese F-16MLU that can also use AMRAAM all of this are possible if Gaijin decide not to be lazy
ER still have advantages in range and speed over early AMRAAM anyway
Was done for them by 2 tech mods and multiple other memebers of the community week 1. Surely doesnt take 9 months to verify it all

Honestly im still suprised Japan doesnt have at least the AAM-3
