Yea right now the wing sweep degree doesnt affect FM which was said on english stream but really curious to see how it goes! Also the other two ATGMS will be very, very interesting

[@gaelan2k9]

Can't wait for all the wing bugs when it eventually reaches the live server

[@ban5176]

the speed of f-104 and the weapons from yak-38 (combination of two templetes 2x R-60, 2x Kh-23m). I still wait for mig 23

[@Wompwomp7405]

Such a cool and amazing plane

[@lxzs0sa991]

Yup

[@TheKaMeLRo]

I like the old looking of FAB-500 on Su-7 more, that thing is thicc.

[@sebastianhernandez2360]

I'm still waiting for the F-14 Tomcat. I hope Gaijin introduce it to the game soon.

[@kwilliams3161]

They need to make the maps a lot bigger or have fun getting a Phoenix in ya on takeoff.

[@jarebare510]

@@kwilliams3161 the way radar works there is NO way you can lock a target on the ground or even close to the ground. And with PD search mode you can pretty easily notch the f14 radar, but im not sure if they are going to make notching PD searchmodes a thing

[@kwilliams3161]

Jaren Hartbecke I said on takeoff . And I don’t think they will go that in depth with radar let alone add the f14 anytime soon.

[@soapbox4632]

Honestly if it were added soon it would probably break the game like the harrier did

[@skyjaythefirst7331]

@@soapbox4632 and the Su 17 wouldn't?

[@gaelan2k9]

That's not a bug btw with having to put on relative control to maintain values, that's how controls are supposed to work when it's not on, they'll default to minimum value as soon as the bind is released

[@Sputniksim]

Kh-25 and 29 are not fire and forget, they are laser guided not TV guided like mavericks

[@canadianbeef827]

The 29L has the ability to be TV guided

[@Sputniksim]

@@canadianbeef827 nope, L stands for laser and is only semi active laser guided. T/TE versions of Kh29 are TV guided. In game we will have Su-17M2, the first version with early laser target designator. Only latest Su-17/22 M4 versions had TV screen added to cockpit to support TV guided ordnance.

[@rhetthart9311]

we need a hard counter from AA to kill these, I feel CAS is getting a bit too powerful

[@American-ll2ed]

When is this update coming

[@Phantomenace1]

Now we wait for American f-5 and f-111

[@Pega-5u5]

Unfortunately, they already said that the US agree wouldn’t get the F-5 this patch in one of the dev streams. 😔

[@Phantomenace1]

@@Pega-5u5 yeah I watched it and I am sad but they said it would be coming in later patches with is nice

[@gansior4744]

no hype from me at all. When you have low excpectations you cant be dissapointed

[@raymondfairclough3483]

But we wanted F-14 and MiG-23, not a shitty SU-7 except it can sweep wings. 😒
