I mean if you go by that logic…
USA

last update: F-15E
before that: F-111F, A-10C
before that: F-15C
before that: F-20
before that: F-15A
before that: F-111A
before that: F-16C
before that: F-14B
before that: F-4S
before that: F-16A

and with that we’re back at Fire and Ice in october 2022 when the US didn’t get a top jet

For me it’s a hunch, mostly because the Su-34 gave us canards for Flankers, and the AL-31F-M1’s, both of which the Su-33 will have. I think gaijin is rushed for time or lazy on this one. Su-33 is more ready to go than the Su-30SM right now, or God forbid, fixing the FM’s on the Flankers, Fulcrums, and drag coefficient calculation problems on the R-77 in the game engine.

The Su-33 that was trialed was accepted for service. If it came as it trialed in 2010, it would have the AL-31F-M1’s, and the N001, probably base radar.

So the real question is do you think Gaijin would give the USSR/Ru a shiny Su-27 that has marginally better WVR, and no ARH’s? I don’t think they will. I think they’ll just default to adding the Bars radar. Everything else but the radar is coming regardless, that is what is in service as the Su-33. The only contention is does it get the radar it was marketed with?

In short because it was accepted for service after the 2010 trials.

Nah, its been a while since your last Su-25 variant. You’ll probably get the Su-25TM with R-77s at 13.0 this update

Its honestly baffling how quickly Russian Jets went from being the best and super unbalanced to good but nerfed pretty bad, like the Su-24 for example missin a TON of thrust

Lmao. Su-33 is on the leak list. Are you trying to say Su-25TM with R-77’s and the Su-33? Still a joke lol.

Yeah, I still remember the days waiting for anything better to finally fight the Mig-23MLD

Half the forum doesn’t care either. We’re in the age of SPAMRAAM, and the rest of the nations without a good one are about to have one. Russia will literally be the only nation in the game without SPAMRAAM’s, and we’re told R-77-1 and R-74 are too good (I agree on R-74, not R-73M), and they won’t fix the flight models either. Oh well I guess, I’ll just keep fighting like I’m in the God’s toughest soldier/hardest battles meme.

and that would off been my next point, so why can the Russians, the US and Chinese get an aircraft every single update with no issue while other nations get told to pack it in for a few updates ?

What kind of A2G loadout the Thai A7E have? Naval A7 doesn’t have 6*AGM65B, and Thailand never used agm62.

Just this year, unlike Russia and US, and half of them are C&P

gee it’s not like these nations have an almost 3 to 1 ratio of aircraft produced

Any chances to see the A-37 Dragonfly in this patch or in the near future in the US TT, Japan TT (via Thailand/South Vietnam) and/or Israeli TT (via Chile)?

Given the number of missing variants or outright aircraft types missing from various nations at all BRs. This is a pretty poor argument.

Your order is a little messed up here.

Not top tier.

Premium.

It’s really hard to find photos of Thai A-7Es with their weapon loadouts. These jets were former US Navy aircraft that served on the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers before being transferred to Thailand.

Spoiler


Dumb bombs and rockets but they will most likely get AGM-62 for balance reasons.

F-4S came with Update 2.25 “Sky Guardians”
F-16A came with Update 2.23 “Apex Predators”

Deathmisser didn’t say top tier. The Su-25SM3 that was mentioned also isn’t top tier.

The F-4S is also a premium but also irrelevant since Deathmisser didn’t specify tech-tree but just that Russia got something high end every update.

What came in 2.24 between F-4S and F-16

Nevermind lol

I just got here, does anyone have any idea what line the Thai subtree jets might be placed after? Or is the plan to maybe spread them out amongst multiple lines?

except it isnt because that applies to those 3 nations listed as well?

Besides the “variants” argument is one I absolutely hate when people use, because a majority of the same people complain about “copy paste”
