This Plane Is Single-Handedly Saving Sim Right Now - War Thunder

[@RoachEatsVipers]

J10 feels like a culmination of the best every nation has to offer, 29SMTs radar, the Gripens one circle and low speed capability, F16Cs single engine power. I wouldn't be surprised if mid next year were looking at Su30s, F15EX, and Eurofighter T4s.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

The Su-30's maybe, but the F-5EX and Eurofighter, perhaps a bit extreme. The EX will come with AIM-120D's, not even C-5's. The Eurofighter can get an early version, but people think it'll just be a twin engine Gripen, when in actuality it has the speed and power of an F-22 without the stealth. Fighting at 50,000ft is a breeze for it.

[@theperson5185]

@@jacobbaumgardner3406fighting that high would also be a death sentence due to how small maps are

[@RoachEatsVipers]

@jacobbaumgardner3406 the reason I say F15EX and EF T4 is because in the past Gaijin has added jets well before they should have, like the SMT could have R77-1 but it came out with R27ER. I don't think many of the avionics systems jets have today are relevant in WT or modeled, so I imagine F15EX will be about as powerful and a Su30SM but I could be wrong and they just add another F15C with a better radar and missiles. Who knows, just a wild guess

[@oliverodell3105]

I agree that Air has found a new lease of life this year and I can only imagine the snail will double down on this.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@@RoachEatsVipers this is true. I wouldnt be surprised if the Typhoon comes out early to mid next year with AMRAAM B and ASRAAM. As for avionics, though, the issue is that many new jets use AESA arrays, which can't be "mismodeled". The way they work means that they either don't model it at all or introduced busted radars. It's the reason why we haven't seen the Mitsubishi F-1 yet. From what I know about the EX, it does get new engines, the same ones in the F-16C, so it'll have ridiculous thrust. A FBW system so it has the maneuverability of other FBW jets (watch the recent F-15QA demo for reference), and most of all it has an AESA, which if you know how they work will completely change how the game plays. It would be like going from a MiG-21 radar to the most recent 4th Gen radars. It's that big of a difference.

[@MrJohnnyMinecraft]

I've always hoped for something like the MiG-29M (9-15) as red teams solution along side the J-10 and I'm very happy to see the J-10 show up! Im still hoping for that a MiG-29M (9-15) Prototype 156. I have been an advocate for the 29M over the 27SM because of the fact the Su-27 is well worse off in game than it should be.

[@bigmemer4398]

Yeah I hope we get MIG 29M soon J-11A was a very dumb choice on Gaijin's part, J-11B would have been competitive against F-15C

[@MrRobschnieder]

Yeah can we please get a su27 buff? Sweep rate is god awful, FM seems far weaker than it should be… even the irst has been acting up for a few updates. Last time I flew the su27sm I was having to solely rely on ETs and 73s for kills. R-77s would only get kills at close range where they would go pitbull off the rails

[@sweatybotfn9982]

They will add that with block 60, J-10C variant, J-16…

[@artruisjoew5473]

F18C doesn't really bring anything new or special given its lackluster kinematic performance. sure it has more AMRAAMS but unless you are trying to fire on their entire team, you don't need that many. eagles and vipers will still be far superior to the hornet.

[@SuperTitoneli]

This plane is crazy good but i think is missing two things to make it totally complete and accurate: 1 - A TD box in the cockpit hud (that green box/circle/triangle that appears in the hud indicating where the thing that you locked actually is in the world). 2 - A Helmet mounted display with info about speed, weapon selected etc... Idk why they didn't added these features yet....

[@nimbal3304]

@@SuperTitoneli yeah I forgot to mention the TD box, its super annoying but with the plane showing up as "?" On RWR's and the Helmet display the plane just being the standard sight I'd say its not finished yet

[@pegasusenderby4074]

the did, for the dev server, and then removed it.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

There's also the issue that the F-16's rate speeds are above 450kts, and rating at those speeds has you blacking out every 5 seconds. If Gaijin were to up the G resistance for modern jets (with modern G suits and many jers having reclined seats), tp tier jets would be much less of a pain in a dogfight.

[@thenextcujo]

I would say that it’s a combo of the J-10 and JF-17 that are doing it as a pair. But yeah, super glad they were added, it’s really helped even out games

How do you manually adjust the TWS tracking/locking lines (whatever it's called)? I can't seem to find the controls.

[@blessthismessss]

its a bit weird, what you do is bind keys for "radar cursor horizontal slewing"(i cant remember its exact name) to something easy, i personally use alt + A & D for left and right slewing. this control is MEANT to be used when you have the setting "target cyclic switching" disabled, but for our purposes it also works here by making your scan zone slew left and right. from there, set conjunctive keybinds for "radar elevation", mine is alt + W & S for up and down respectively and now you can basically use WASD while holding alt to put your radar scan zone anywhere u want from the nose. hope my rambling helps :D

[@missingthe80s58]

I think the Winter update is about to change things from 11.0 to 13.7. I think Russia will get the R-77-1 and more importantly, they'll be getting jets that can finally compete with the US/NATO jets. In fact it'll take things to the next level as we'll be looking at jets with 6+ datalinks with 12 ARH missiles with radars that have parity with current jets. We know the F/A-18C is coming. We know which F-18 Germany is getting but we'll have to see which block the US gets and if the British tree gets the CF-18, I'm sure they will. The F/A-18C and the Su-27SM2 (hopefully SM3) are going to be the big things this winter. Another big thing that might make its way to other trees are the extreme range folding wing standoff glide bombs that are being evaluated in the Chinese tree at the moment. 300 second timer. These are going to be game changers for strike missions. Also, notice the delay in Russian premiums. They aren't over looking the tree.

[@goldfishPACIFIER]

i hope they divide air sim into east germany and west germany, because IMO the mig 29 G should be on the nato side, Eurofighter and swiss f18 included, and everything below that east german be on the red for side

su27sm2 wont change much if they are not gonna fix its fm.

the CF-18 can't even fire AMRAAMs so its moot at this point. the real next step for NATO would be stealth.

​@@artruisjoew5473 State Dept approval records seem to say the CF-18's were refitted with APG-79 and given compatible launchers as well as batches of AIM-120D. So maybe too early for the CF-18 still. Depends if Gaijin wants to put the R-77M on the newer jets.

The j10 is not unbalanced and red vs blue team was not balanced before the update. The reason red quits early is because the terrible flight models and the invisible aim9m. On one hand you have the Americans with an f16 that can 1 circle anything In the game, and on the other you have the mig 29 which falls out of the sky after 1 turn. This doesn't combo well with the fact that red nations have shorter range arh missles (r77) which means they have to close the gap. If you get to the merge with anything besides an f4 phantom in the mig 29, you are dead. Also the aim9m is way to invisible. I understand it has a "smokeless" motor but that should not make it inbisible.
