but the Economy rework is insane… apparently Gaijin never learn their lessons.

Apparently that economy nerf has been debunked by the devs.

My guess on the F-18 is that it may come in the final update of the year, if not, the very next one.

That list is out of date, even the Singapore part isn’t confirmed

That is a leak list so never 100% accurate and parts of it have already been confirmed to be wrong (personally im not trusting that list at all) There is no guarantee that Germany will get an F-18.

However, based upon other leaklists, Probably December if they dont get a Typhoon instead. Personally I see no reason to delay Typhoon any further as we already have Typhoon equivalent strength aircraft in game like the F-15C MSIP II

i feel like the Typhoon is significantly stronger then the F-15C’s

What’s was the point of them following roadmap changes if they were going to revert them…

Can’t wait to see a Czech-Slovak tree (I want a TT Moderna)

Far smaller difference than you think, no larger than exists between the F-15C and F4F-ICE or Tornado F3 Late. With the current ARH meta, the F-15C even holds the advantage with a greater ARH count

I prefer to say “debunked”.

unless i’m misunderstanding, the gap between the F15C and F4F ICE is massive no?
8 AMRAAMS vs 4.
Gen 4 airframe vs Gen 3
AIM 9M vs AIM 9L

Tiny, far smaller of a gap than Britain had last year between F3 and Mig-29G. ICE has meta missiles in a meta which focuses more on missile performance not aircraft performance. I have no issues in the FA2 for example

Tornado (any version) F3 vs anything else in the tech trees will result in a gap lol.

But i HIGHLY beg to differ the gap is tiny for the F15C and ICE. Idk if you’ve flown the ICE but its NOT good at all. Doesn’t matter it gets ARHs, the enemy team is dead by the time you get there, or you are instantly locked and can’t dodge since the airframe is horrible at this level.
It also gets HALF the amount of ARHs that comparable jets in other TTs get. No HMS, 90 countermeasures total.

Ive played most the FA2, a Harrier I. I have no gun, no IR missiles, only 4x AMRAAM. A heat sig that makes flaring nearly impossible and tiny chaff that barely work. I do fine/ F4F-ICE seems like a luxuary compared to the FA2. I’ve also recently started spading the F3 late

Can’t speak on the FA2, (sounds like Germany lolol) but i’m telling you from playing the ICE its is so bad. Coming from the Mig29G, it is a MASSIVE downgrade. F**K the AMRAAMS lmao. Can’t really play the 29G cause you’ll lose lock dodging 20 Aim 120s.

Feel like you’re able to do some good maneuvering with the harriers though, ICE turns like a small building

the economy changes were already denied by Smin, much of this list is probably out of date.
