damn. thanks for the heads up
I think all EF players are ready for it. Where where your complaints as A10 with AIM-9Ls wrecked havoc vs early jets which don’t even had flares. Sometimes I guess most of the player base is just concerned when its about non US or maybe RUS tech.

Or where were those people when they just threw in the F14 when Top gun was released? many such cases

Still remember the healldeath Phoenix spam which obliterated the whole enemy team shortly after takeoff. Thank god this was nerfed. But yeah…US mains enjoyed it. No concerns. But they always agitate against any other nation which might get advanced tech before they do.
Now we get a nerfed EF without is main weapons and without it RL flight capabilities. Imagine Gajin would have said that they introduce F-16 with nerfed flight model… This would have been inacceptable.

If the Eurofighter was an US aircraft it would arrive with its full supercruise ability and if it was Russian it would even get the IRIS-T…

Likely. Its unworthy of a game which is supposed to use on real stats as far as they’re known. Supercruise with ordnance is supercruise with ordnance.

Or maybe some people actively care about balance over all aside this childish idea of “it’s MY nations turn to make everything else miserable to use for 3 months”
The a10a with 9L’s was an absolute disaster for the health of 10.7-7.3 now with the mig15’s and sabres going down and should never have been added like it was
A 100+G literally unflarable missile with what in wt’s current state would be a hefty range is not currently balanced in any way, shape, or form, and the only arguments for it is “historical accuracy” (Gaijin does not care on this front as they will continue to make up loadouts for whatever balance suits them), and “mom said it’s my turn to roflstomp everything” (Terrible mindset for the health of the game"
The EF is certainly not the only plane missing highly advanced IRL loadouts either, yet I have never seen anyone here arguing for the IRIS-T campaigning for those because it wasn’t “Their nation”
It’s on the same vein as people begging for the aim9X on their F15 and I will ignore it as such

Tell the puffin guy that, not me
I already know it’s far superior to the ice in literally every regard even as it is currently on the dev server
There is no IF , you literally have a video to remind you it is that good in BFM XD . As for the rest of the question you know the answer , BFM is only part of the equation .
This is not a nation v nation things. Adding these new weapons would make everything below top tier unplayable, including the German planes that are already suffering.
Why are you promoting the childish idea of “my nation suffered, so now it is my right to be brokenly op?”
Why do you want to make the game worse?

Well then let’s add the F-22 in War Thunder right now!
Ah, so that’s why Russians have over the top IR/ARH missiles coming their way each patch. Just lol.

And that same Russian bias also denied Soviet top tier jets the R-77-1.
Don’t forget about the awful flight models too.

Russia bias when asked to make the Russian radar tws scan faster
It was wrong then, it would be wrong now. 2 wrongs don’t make a right. This sort of mentality is just weaponised stupidity. The balance seems ok playing on the test server, the euro fighter and Rafale will be excellent choices that will be arguably the best jets in game.

Agree.
It doesn’t even make Germany better, it just makes the eurofighter better.
The F-4F ICE and MiG-29s will still be trash in the top tier meta, but no one will care because it isn’t the shiny new thing. Do they expect us to just not play the off meta stuff?

Considering their metric is horrific id say that’s not accurate. 99% of airRB battles are mixed so winrates are even across the board
USA gets hit with a lot of inexperienced players bringing down their KD, and Russia has a lot of stubborn players not willing to abandon the SU27 or mig 29 that have learned how to do well in anything at top tier.

Oviously this can be fixed by also giving the f4f ice the iris-t/j
