well when you make countermeasures to be about 10 times as effective than IRL makes everyone able to just run in and spam flares / chaff and play insanely agressive ... if missiles and countermeasures worked as they should flares would be about 50/50 chance of survival and chaff would be basically only there for emotional support of course that would make matches in these tiny maps and dozens of planes a total clustercluck ... 8v8 with proper modelling for radar missiles and countermeasures on maps at least 5 times the size would be how it whould have been since F-4E and MiG-21 were the top dogs ...

[@shulminsama3820]

make the spawns closer and have airspawns. easy. 16v16 is fun for props and early jets, but after 9.0 it gets too much because of missles, supersonic flights. if realistic battles want to be more realistic and more fun then have a reduced playercount with modern planes (like how it is irl) is better and alot of the community agrees@@giovaniiniguez3783

I would say they need more top tier games designed around modern air combat for example: 8 v 8 air superiority -> hold air superiority over X massive region of the battlefield for 10 minutes. And you'd be rewarded for forcing enemy players to leave the region, while enemy players are rewarded for time spent in the region (essentially like "capping" a point) RADAR tracking and coverage should could for a lot as activity points. all in all, it would make the gameplay way slower and "more boring" so it will never happen.

[@Sceptreshot]

The Gripen solves the UK's top tier vehicle problem, now we just need something to grind to it, in my opinion the good jets stop at 8.7 with the Swift F.7. The issue could easily be solved if Gaijin gave us the good shit that we built, such as the Gnat, Superswift, replacing the Hunter f.1 with the f.4 and many other things.

[@cookiecraze1310]

Giving us the Swiss hunter instead of Germany.

[@Sceptreshot]

@@cookiecraze1310 That or instead giving us the Omani/Singaporean Hunter FGA.74B which is a Hunter F.6 with 2-4 extra pylons for AIM-9P's and flares but no guided ordinance. I think Germany got the Swiss Hunter so that they can later get the Swiss F-18, which I haven't got an issue with but they should've added a British Hunter at the same time too.

[@Azzoz1]

Today i completed the research of the grippen using the phantom fgr2. And to get to the phantom i used the sea harrier frs.1

[@pogo1140]

Problem is the grind. IRL the RAF went from Phantom to Harriers and Tornado before Typhoon

[@Sceptreshot]

@@pogo1140 Yep definitely, but I don't just see it as a top tier problem, but a problem with the entire tree. The tree has had the worst options possible selected. For example the Swedish hunter is the same br as the Hunter F.1, but its an F.4 airframe with 2 extra aim-9B's. The UK needs the gnat, a better hunter, and some of the prototype aircraft we built. Whilst yes the RAF irl had huge jumps in capability, the UK still built a lot of aircraft and prototype aircraft that we do not see in-game. The gap from phantom to typhoon I don't even see as the biggest issue, that would be rank 6 with no decent fighter. The gap from phantom to typhoon would be okay if the phantoms got the AIM-9L's, also now the gripen is there but it could've just as easily been the BAE EAP to bridge that gap. The UK also does not have a SAAF tree so what was the point in adding the subtree. If we got an air-tree we could get things like the Atlas Cheetah at 11.0. The grind of the tree is just horrible and there's so few good aircraft when other options exist. I could make a huge list of aircraft i'd have replaced or added.

For those who are still surprised and confused by the Gripen in the brit tree I'll add some rationale. Beyond the fact that Britain REALLY needed a good top tier for ages now there is some logic behind this. It would be more accurate to call the British tree the Commonwealth tree at this point. For those who don't know the Commonwealth of Nations is an international Association of former British Empire territories. We already have Australian aircraft, an entire South African ground tree and also the Indian T-90. All of these nations are Commonwealth members. Thus do not be surprised if we see Australian or Canadian F-18s im the British tree in future and more vehicles used by Commonwealth Members. I also wouldn't be surprised if warthunder straight up just change the name of the British tree to the Commonwealth of Nations tree because that seems to be where they are going with it. It gives the the leeway to bolster a tech tree which kinda struggles towards the higher brs on both air and ground. Heck if they do go with this direction we could have a top tier Commonwealth grb lineup including Challengers, Canadian Leos, Australian Abrams and Indian T-90s...that is kinda terrifying...

[@HunterSteel29]

Don't forget that we could possibly get an entire Indian Ground lineup as well as an Indian Air lineup which gives England access to more USSR vehicles as well as the Arjun (which is better than the T-90 in every way) and access to the Rafaele and the HAL Tejas. And more additions from South Africa will include an early T-72 with Thermals (bog standard T-72 but we installed Thermals into it.), the Cheetah and Impala for the air tree as well. There's a bunch there that hasn't been added yet, there's also the Rooikat Prototype and we really need to get our big wheelie boi from the German tech tree, but fit it with a 120mm cannon since that was the intention. There's also the possibility to make a 10.7 TTD with a 120mm cannon too.

Yh, idk why most keep as much energy as possible if some aircraft, that only works at corner speeds and for specific aircraft, F-5E, F-16's, F-15's, F-14B, Gripen and m2k, you can use energy as an advantage, as for the mig23's, f4's, viggen's those aircraft's corner speeds suuuuuck. Meaning even tho they might have a decent sustained (20° or higher) the radius of that turn is also just as important, there is a reason the gripen can sometimes just sit inside your turns, it's because even tho the f16 (example) has 22° sustained, and the gripen has 21° sustained, both aircraft are at different speeds to do this effectively and also have a different radius, gripen, slightly worse, but a tighter radius, f16, better sustained, but slightly worse radius.
