Gamemode changes to implement EW and make the goal of adding 5th gens in 2026 possible:
We need maps at least 2x the size of current EC, with multiple airfields, AWACS, SAM sites, and ground battles. Instead of being just a team deathmatch players gain Faction Coins by destroying targets like SAMs, radar stations, and airfields. These coins are used to respawn or unlock better Loadout options, meaning you can’t just no brain. Every action contributes to your team’s victory or loss.
Goal is that one side slowly gains air superiority by completing objectives, not just farming kills. Long match duration and objectives like escort, SEAD, CAS, interception make the whole thing acc work with newer Planes etc.
What is needed in terms of planes and armament before 5th gens:
F-18 Super Hornet
F-16 V ( taiwanese MLU finally being accurate )
Euro Tranche 4
J-10c
J-15
Gripen E
F-15 with aesa
SU-35S
Missiles:
9x block 2
Asraam
Iris-t
R74m
Aam5
Pl10
Mica ir
Aim 120d/c8
Meteor (heavly nerfed or just leave it out (tho that could be problem for rafale) for r37m, aim174b, pl17 update at later date)
R77m
Pl15
Derby er
Anti Radation Missiles for each nations top tier planes
F-35s will come into the game with AIM-120Cs and AIM-9Ms or 9X.
They are not the powercreep you are expecting, especially for arcade and realistic battles. Sim might be something else, but they can be bracketed in their own category irrelevant of the BR system.
Meteor and its equivalents should not come until at least a year after stealth jets are in the game.
F-18E Super Hornet will be a sad edition because it’ll be a sidegrade to F-18C. Far worse flight performance for 2 more missile stores.
Pl15 and meteor both are long range missiles. Their claim range is somewhat similar, but the meteor might have a better NEZ because it’s a jet engine with longer burn (so more turning capabilities at range) compared to the pl15. The pl15 will have an advantage in the seeker however until the new Meteor comes with AESA
Bigger maps and improved mission objectives are indeed needed, I would also love ew mechanics in-game.
Tranche 3A is enough imo, has AESA radar and all, above 14.0
Newer fulcrums like the 29M and 35S would be nice indeed, as well as the J-16. Others vehicles that wouldn’t be higher than 14.0 but would be nice are stuff like the Rafale M F.1, Typhoon block 5, F-16E, F-14D, Harrier GR.9, etc
yes i do, and i think 5th gen aircraft should NOT get added for a few more years
we should get more props and cold war jets instead
new gamemodes and maps
all of that would be much better than adding f-16 block 123123123 or su-12312313 w
Yeah obviously it’s a better idea to slow down and not rush more advanced vehicles, I was just saying that it wouldn’t be the end of the world if Gaijin decided to keep rushing
They shouldn’t add any aircraft to the game until big decompression happens. Any jet at any BR is just gonna suffer real bad unless they are OP for their BR.
Some stuff left out of the list.
For Soviet aircraft
MiG-35
MiG-29KR
Su-30SM2
For weapons
R-37M it can be used on the Su-30SM2 and Su-35S and later the Su-57
R-77M is something only ever known to be used on the Su-57 so it probably won’t be added until 5th generation, instead they should add the R-27EA.
