Where are all the other gen 4.5 aircraft?

and both sets are very dated now compared to Raven, ECRS or AN/APG 80/81/82 series

AN/APG-77 was fully integrated on a test F-22 in 1999, and the APG-77 still holds it’s own against even the 81 and 82 in some aspects

AESA on fighters js over 25 years old now, hardly cutting edge now, it’s just the standard at this point tbh

Only really in outright power, it falls short in terms of being a decent multi-mode and lacks refresh rate and modern tech like gallium nitride

it does have great multi mode capability, got even better with the AN/APG-77v1

idk what you mean by refresh rate though, if you literally mean how fast the radar scans, id like a source stating or heavily implying this. as for GaN, this is true, however every other fighter GaN radar is considerably smaller and to my knowledge, less powerful.

Good now let Germans have some fun they deserve a reward
Maybe those US main know how does it feel to fight something superior to them.

what good does it bring if there will always be 1 or more nations that suffer?
woudn’t it better to have balanced game?
why should aby one nation be better in terms of weaponry than all the others?
brother you should advocate for balance, not imbalance things further, cuz it’s a game and games should be balanced.

War Thunder was never balanced, top tier was always a mess and now it is the turn of the nations that dominated for 12 years to suffer through (so far) one update cycle.

One? well I count that three nation get eurofighter and France get Rafael
Tell me it is balance when German had to fight gen4 with phantom?

that is some twisted sense of justice…insted of advocating for balance you advocate for time restricted imbalance…

Bruh I play Germany I won’t be having any bit of fun until I manage to grind out another 600k rp to get the Eurofighter.

This isn’t a nation v nation thing.

And is it balanced for that same phantom to fight even better enemies?

brother, said phantom got BR 13.0 while all the others were at 13.7 for a reason.
and now they added far superior aircraft on the same BR as existing top tier, so your aformentioned phantom and also mig-29 and mig-29g have to fight EFT and Rafales, don’t you think it’s bs?

Well don’t worry soon as they get hand on eurofighter they’ll dump f4 and mig-29g to the dumpster just like other that dump their old stuff because after i got eoro i’ll dump by mig 29g as well

i do worry cuz compression and imbalance in top tier air is almost insufferable…i don’t wan’t to play any 1 nation or aircraft all the time, cuz it would get boring. all i want is for the game to balanced so that i have motivation to play and open new trees other than just 1 wich is clearly supperior at the time.

really can’t say the Phantom is bad at 13.0 I’ll give you that

but a true top tier plane we didn’t have, and against 13.7s it was always extremely inferior and that’s what the EFT makes right now

tbh I’m actually hoping for the EFTs, F-15E/I and Rafael to go to 14.0 just to decompress a little bit

what they should have done - introduce F-18C’s and everyone would be happy, but they didn’t, they choose to break already broken balance even further, that’s why a lot of people are mad.
it was too early for EFT/Rafale, other tech trees weren’t ready and still are not.

Aaand Gaijin obviouslly nerfed the Eurofighters’ supercruise ability, because they say that they think all the sources about it are exaggerating…

wrong thread brother, you should channel it to EFT general thread
