Squadron Vehicles: JF-17 Thunder

Looks like a frankenplane of the F-16 aft segment, Mirage cockpit and nose, and the inlets of a F-22

So many US prototypes/variants for rank 8 sq vehicle too, future looking good for that

Why does the first screenshot show BRM rocket pods on pylons 3 and 5? JF-17 is not supposed to carry rocket pods there because of risk of fume ingestion by the engine.

It didn’t say IRCCM on the live stream. I suppose it should be WIP and will eventually implement it?

Well it seemed they tried to avoid talking about PL-5EII. Maybe its not ready yet

Oh. That’s unfortunate, I really hope it’s not too spammed.

Guess I gotta study my Chinese export missiles lmao

Italy gets the best Leopoard 2 currently, and they will have the most competitve airframes available in the future. Italy is finally at the point it eats good

It’s competitive but uhh one thing

Eurofighters until the end of time

Spoiler

And maybe an F-35 if they’re lucky

Maybe consider adding a decent-ish fox3 carrier for germany??

Which are going to be the best airframes until 5th gens? And even then eurofighters will have advantages in the way their performance is perfectly suited for WT matches.

Yeah I said they would be competitive but the variety is extremely lacking

I thought Gaijin didn’t want players being able to just buy their way into top tier? Sure things can change but wasn’t this revealed with a 13.3 BR? That seems…like a terrible move.

that risk was found to be minute so weapons such as pods and ASMs can be launched from there and pictures are found online easily.
even SD-10s can be carried but not the dual rail on the inner pylons sadly

otherwise we would be seeing 8 SD-10s and 2 PL-5E IIs on our lovely Jeff

F-18 prolly coming next when all other users get it

i think the thing with sqd vehicles is that you need a squadron which you can only join after a set amount of battles. plus the squadron rp on the jeff is tremendously large (580,000 SqdrnRP). even i will have a long time before i can get it

But it’s more so the fact that you can just buy your way into 13.3. Considering uptiers are a constant at that level, you’ve effectively bought your way into top tier. Which Gaijin has claimed to be against. Keeping it at 13.3 knowing it will routinely, as the sun rises and sets, see 13.7 makes the BR it’s placed at irrelevant. You can now just buy your way into the current end game (I know it’s not an end game, it’s a metaphor).

they essentially ruined that with the F-20

Prob rank 7

I guess. That just seems…like really dumb. Maybe it’s not an issue because air battles are one death matches anyway but I guess it’s just more official that the “we don’t want players to be able to buy into the very end of a tree”. That’s entirely possible now.
