No it will not lmao
Even more new planes without the JAS39 for Sweden…
F-100F could be 9.7 in rank 6
Lol

Would 4 x AIM-9P’s at 9.7 be too much?
With the exception of the easy to avoid A-10 and Su-25 what vehicles at 10.3 or below have R-60Ms and AIM-9J or Ls (for fighting with 9.3 F-100)? Also, the AIM-9P is in-game exactly identical to the 9J (IRL it was slightly better). There’s no need for flares for the F-100F if it was 10.0 with AIM-9Ps. The F-4C hasn’t flares and only has AIM-9Es and rather ineffective AIM-7Ds yet it is still viable at 10.0. The F-104J and G (China) are at 10.3 and 10.7 respectively and have AIM-9J/Ps with no flares, and those only suffer a standard Minor Nation Gajined™️ amount.

F4C is one of the worst 10.0s if not the worst and cannot go down only due to the fact it has too much ordinance to be matched again 8.7 and 9.0 regularly. And f100 matched almost every round against mig21smt, f5c and f8? They outclass it in every single aspect
Hmm, based on the name. Hopefully the Ki-48 with its guided bomb will also come.
First of all have you played the F-4C because that thing is the perfect example of why adding another 10.0 without flares is a stupid idea, its near enough unusable.
2nd the F-100D faces: F8U2 and F8E with Aim 9D, 9C. The A10 and A10 late with 9Ls (which cannot always be avoided with the state of the spotting system right now). The AV8C and AV8A with aim 9Gs, The A7D with 9Js, The A6E with 9Ls, The Mig21 MF with R60s, the hunter F58 with 9Js, the F4F early with 9Js, Yak38M, Mig21 SMT, Su17M2, SU25, SU25K, sea harrier FRS1, Harrier GR3, Jaguar GR1 and GR1A… and thats just the fisrt 4 nations

Yes. F-4C is one of my favourite aircraft in the game. It doesn’t struggle with its lack of flares except against those damn MiG-21S’s with R-3Rs in a head on. I had forgotten the A7D and F58 had AIM-9J, but other than those two and the A-6E which is just another A-10, every vehicle you listed is either above 10.7 (9.3 cannot fight them), has easy to avoid missiles, or is too slow to actually be a threat in most situations against even a low supersonic aircraft like the F-100. I’d argue the F-100F would be more effective than the already decent (but not great) F-4C at 10.0.
Whether the F-100F is 9.3 without 9Ps or 10.0 with, it should not be arbitrarily given flares for “balance”. Because at that point why not just give every aircraft flares? Why not give every aircraft whatever missiles Gaijin wants? Why not just go full WoT and BS performance entirely for “balance”? I’d rather have accurate vehicles balanced using the BR system than have inaccurate vehicles for the sake of the BR system.

No flares, no missiles ‘to keep the BR lower’ yet you’ll still be matched against planes with flares and missiles and that are twice as fast, have fun grinding this hunk of junk.

i dont know what to say to you, other than maybe try a better plane than the F4C, all the planes i listed are 10.3 or below in air RB, and id invite you to come and try and dodge some of those other missiles in a custom battle in your F4C if you are interested?
Edit: fyi there are already some other planes with unrealistic flares, missiles or flight preformance for balance reasons such as the F5C and the J8F
Sure ;)
So a fews weeks ago, this pic showed up in the Chinese community.
Whoever “leak” it, claimed it was the crafting event.
砍扣累 which I am still trying to figure out what the first means since it does not exactly the name of the vehicle.
鲶鱼 for catfish, cause the F100 looks like it.
4星重巡 means 4 starts heavy cruiser, probably another ship that already exist in another game?
铁棍 for iron bar, somehow the only thing that comes to my mind is the LOSAT MGM-166, cause it is a iron bar that flys :D
can someone find the olivia leaks, she mentioned losat, m109a1, and other thing that i don’t remember (it was on a matawg video if i’m not mistaken)
So if anyone is wondering he went 1 for 3 with AIM-9Ds and 4 for 9 with AIM-9Ps. In dogfight scenarios, 0 for 2 with 9Ds and 2 for 4 with 9Ps. In tail chase scenarios, 1 for 1 with 9Ds and 2 for 5 with 9Ps (I was getting into my groove by that point). Take from that what you will.

I think it could be the SPAA this time, I hope I’m wrong
i think the main takeaway is: could the F100F at 9.7 or 10.0 manage without flares: probably yes, would it be fun to fly: no. even if you can dodge the missiles about 60% of the time, and fair play to you for that, there are just too many things with too many missiles that you cant always dodge.
Partly for the sake of making this event reward more interesting and unique i would rather see it be unrealistic and have flares added to it (along with its aim 9Ps) than to let the vehicle suffer in the name of realism

Air reward being only useful as CAS option is such a middle finger to both AIR RB players and Ground RB players who don’t play planes.
Would be hilarious if the SPAA that Japan players have asked for a long time will be an grinding event reward. Shows how much Gaijin really didn’t learn from review bombing
