Would it though? Would F-16I Sufa with Python 5 or F-2A with AAM-5 at 14.7 break top tier?

Sure, maybe those won’t (although it would make them a bit painful to play), but only giving them to one of the best planes that are already at 14.7 as is would be a sure way to break top tier.

Personally if they give as python 4/5 and rampage of Popeye I don’t want anything else for that aircraft
I think you might not be looking at the intention of his message though, which is that he’s just curious to see how a next ir missile would perform rather than any belief that the Rafale needs a next gen ir missile.

I know his intention, but we also know that Gaijin rarely (if ever) takes weaponry away from aircraft. So adding them to one or two updates to see how it goes is not a very sound strategy.
I would love to see a test for IR missiles the same way they did with ARH though, have it in the events tab for a certain amount of time.

I believe Smin also stated that next gen IR missiles would come for everyone at the same time, so yeah even the idea of one or two plane having it is out of the question.

Does it still have the incorrect addition of Mk 103 (the hungarian one i mean)?
That looks so much better than the current german ones,
The old ones look just like a stretched png
And the missing double pylon for the GBU-62 and the GBU-54B that the American and the Swiss F/A-18Cs (Late) have?
I don’t think it’s game breaking to include these pylons into the Finnish variant. You could leave out the BOL pods with the double pylons for a “balancing factor”.

Any news for the SPICE equivalent for the US, the GBU53 Stormbreaker, for the F16C, F15E and F/A-18E?
Not this major, that much is for certain.
We would certainly not be giving the next generation of IR missiles to just one or two aircraft and nothing else, particularly one of the jets that is one of the current top performing aircraft in game as it stands currently. This type of thing comes for multiple nations at once, like the FOX 3 launch.

Possible it will do at some stage yes, however this one was mainly done for the Hungarian modification where they removed the lower gear doors.
Hello Smin, I got two questions for you.
-
Suggestion reports for next-gen IR missiles such as ASRAAM and IRIS-T previously were shot down because the game was nowhere near ready for it. Is the game now in a place where we can make suggestion reports for aircraft to have next-gen IR missiles?

We’re getting pretty late into the development season and players have had a chance to test and play the AIM-120D base model. Multiple feedback shows that users are making statements for the AIM-120D as being copy paste AIM-120C and generally a disappointment. Is there any consideration to replacing this missile with the AIM-120D-3?

Make suggestions as much as you want, but know that they will be added when NECESSARY and when the developer sees fit. That’s not going to happen right now
will the f-106 recieve the aim 26b this update? there was a bug report for it acepted

No, and there is no need to make suggestions for them until such a time when they arrive, just like it was not for FOX-3. Its well known what they are.
AIM-120D is the planned variant for this update. As of right now, it hasn’t even been fully introduced to the game currently. As mentioned previously, feedback will be followed, as well as the performance stats of the missile.

Interestingly, it was accepted for Fox-3 a year before its introduction.
