Neither would fill a role right now unless Gaijin introduce new kinds of armaments or makes another huge leap in weaponry advancements.
Sep V3, Leclerc XLR (Or even a proper AZUR lol), and ZTZ-99B I believe is the one with an APS? are the ones I wanna see

I think it’s obvious gaijing is trying to catch up the air tree to similar era as ground and based on the forum post I think their gonna be working on naval next year
Gripen C with a new engine, some new avionics and a new AESA, nothing crazy and no IRST iirc
Also literally every single western modern armament, the main selling point of the NG was how interoperable it would be with whatever a nation is already using.
I would also like to see a Merkava Mk4/5 Barak or a Type 10 with the anti-drone/heli 30mm and APS

Gripen C with an F414? It will be VERY strong its powerplant is already more then sufficent but giving it even more TWR… yeesh that thing will 1000% keep up with EF and Rafale
It would let them compete with Typhoons (thanks to better engines) while also having AESA. So seems necessary on that front.
Top tier air has made a bigger jump in a year (F-15A to F-15E) than top tier ground has made in 4 years (M1A2 to SEPv2).
It’s not just catching up. At this point they are just straight up neglecting high tier ground. 1 top tier MBT and a handful of gimped high tier IFVs in 4 updates is a joke.

Ok? All of the modern armament is stuff we cannot see in game, and probably won’t for a minimum of 3 patches
The problem is that they both only ever used A2A missiles in a completely different league than the ones we have now, and this game isn’t ready for the likes of IRIS-T and Meteor yet.
Eurofighter will always beat the gripen in a dogfight but the new engine will be nice to see, and I don’t expect to see AESA sets on fighters until the F-2 is added

huh
I feared this exactly thing
Ofc the 2 engines alone will be ridiculous but itd give it a really good chance
I mean take Japan. We have the most modern IFV thats just entering service. Meanwhile our air is still lagging behind and not complete (F-2 first production aircraft is from 2000 and its most iconic aircraft). Only way to catchup is having air take huge leaps between updates or we’re waiting forever

The issue is that Chinese and European A-A missiles simply outshine the russian/american equivalents so it’s unlikely we will ever see their full potential due to the whining from major nation mains

Gaijin really is just allergic to giving France a good IFV. So care to explain why it took 2 and a half years to get an arguably inferior VBC PT2?
The hopes is were getting F-2 as well and Gaijin said they won’t add it until other nations get comparable aircraft at the same time, like Fox 3s

If they dont consider the Rafale and Typhoon equivalent I fear what they do

I have no problem with air taking huge leaps, hell I’m happy for the air players.
I just have a problem unnecessarily neglecting other gamemodes.
