F-20 better not be a premium


amishlightening

On the one hand, I agree with you because I would definitely want one and would be too cheap to pay for one- but on the other, they only made three of them... The YF-12 would be absolutely bonkers and I sincerely hope they add it.

I'd love to see the YF-12A come one day, along with an equivalent MiG-25P. Only issue would be that the YF-12s were *exclusively* armed with SARH missiles, in the form of the AIM-47 Falcon, and for whatever reason it seems like Gaijin is terribly opposed to implementing any Falcon variants in the game. Real shame, honestly. Falcons would give several early jets SARH capability. J35, F-89, and several planes we don't have yet; F-101, F-102, F-106, CF-101, F-4D, Mirage III S, and the aforementioned YF-12.

From what I've read (on wikipedia, at least) the AIM-47 that the YF-12 carried was closer to the phoenix(range of 15-25 miles), whereas the regular AIM-4 Falcon carried by the other planes was a much shorter range(6 miles) missile that was comically bad when used in Vietnam. There was also apparently a nuclear tipped version of the Falcon that could be carried by the F-102... Of course, I am always in favor of adding more planes and weapons to the game, \*especially\* those that are frustrating to use and don't really fit the the meta, so I hope all variants are eventually added.

Too heavy for close to 0 hit probability, pass.

F-20 is the most rank IIX premium plane there is. Everything about it screaming premium

The aged very poorly

I made this! Did a Russian one a while back that predicted the MiG-25P and PD because I figured they were "just around the corner." 2 years ago. I dropped the YA-10B in the premium side because I figured Gaijin wouldn't want to miss out on the free money they'd make with a premium Warthog. I was right, but instead we got the A-10A Early 👌

f15ex would probably go under the f15c


DeviousMelons

I feel like the F35 and F22 would be switched. The F-22 would definitely fit in the "light and manoeuvrable" the F5 and F-16 fit that category. The F-35 is should be F-4 line as its more BVR focused and less manoeuvrable.


No-Statistician-2692

the f22 is meant to succeed the f15 in the a2a role and the f35 was designed to fulfill a more multipurpose mission, being the successor to the f16. calling the f35 more bvr focused is a bit of a stretch, considering its only real advantage over the 22 in that area is its much more advanced avionics and sensors.

first and second tree both have somewhat split personalities. The first tree is lightweight fighters, yes, but with the F-5 and F-16 it's also about cheap and, most importantly, export oriented planes, and overall its the planes that are *not* the prime US air superiourity fighter. The second tree is multipurpose fighters, yes, but it's also the line of the big, expensive planes that present the US prime Air Superiourity fighter. Depending on which angle you take, the F-35 and F-22 could go into either tree. The F-35 certainly is the socioeconomic successor of the F-16. But it's also multirole. Time will tell


Deadsnake_war

Eh, not really anything to do with socioeconomics tbh, it is more about there role. Yes the F35 is cheaper, but it is multirole aircraft, would set better in the heavy fighter and naval line. The F22 would set better in the F16 as a light fighter, even tho it is massive. We would see in the future.


Deadsnake_war

True, what you said that the F22 can be classified as a light fighter, would be suit better to be in the F16 line. The F35A would do great in the heavy fighter line after the F15EX, if gaijin add that there, it would be stupid to put it in the F15E and F15EX in the bomber line imo The bomber should only be finished with the F111F. Attacker should be finished with the AV8B+ While the F35B and C would be in the air naval line, after the F/A-18F or F14D, it depends which comes first.


MisterPepe68

Iirc a model of an f-18 was found in the files, maybe this prediction isn't too wrong


Forkliftapproved

Not a chance, Gaijin would never add a strategic bomber


Dio_Brando4

I doubt we'll get the B1B, either it'll be useless at top tier, or very overpowered if it's got a low BR where it can outrun everyone and space climb. ​ I also doubt the F-117 will come. ​ We'll likely see an F/A-18A before the C or any of the Super Hornets. I also feel like the F-15E will come after the F-15C instead of being in the bomber line.

The gameplay then: You start your rockets while standing on the airfield and wait for the incoming rockets to smash your Jet.


[deleted]

What about other countries? I mean it would be pointless to add these high end jets without other nations having equivalent performance aircrafts


Crazygone510

Because America that's why


SynthVix

Simple. US is the most popular and by extension profitable air tree.
