The radar matter has already been reported and our consultants confirmed it. It just needs to be actioned.

Comment

Unlike a major update, those vehicles were already ready and the blogs were pretty much almost ready to go. Possible somewhere someone had a slight slipup, but hardly even in the same league as major update "leak lists". Ether that or dumb luck. We said a German Phantom was coming soon and I even said something "Spooky" in the day before blog comments, the XM-8 had elements in the files for some time and the Yugure well who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Things can happen a few days in advance when you have to translate things into many languages and go through many people.

Comment

There is nothing to confirm because there was no leak.


According to some people / youtubers, they claimed this plane and others were "ready" / "in progress" / "missing textures" or [insert other fake status to make it sound reputable here] for well over a year now.


Those people have no clue how development works and also have no idea whats coming and when. Every patch, they just pick a list of vehicles not in game, that could theoretically be added and sure enough, they might guess 1-2 right. Suddenly they are a "trusted source".


Some people also claim to ha

Happy Easter to all our players!

The skin is irrelevant. Its a Luftwaffe owned and operated Phantom as now confirmed by source material.


The Phantom does not have some mystical device that means it can only load AIM-9J when its physically present in the USA. It had the capability to mount and fire them, did so in exercises and also has it confirmed by its manual that it could indeed so so in fully fledged operation.


None of that exists for the PFM in its current configuration.



No threats were made. A warning


You are on a forum that has very clear rules. You do no

Comment

We also had confirmation these aircraft remained with the Luftwaffe but were legally required to have US markings whilst in operation out there. But remain both the property and service of the Luftwaffe whilst attached to a US squadron


So its not even just theory.

Comment

All aircraft in game that have source material showing they could in fact use something, is open for consideration to the devs.


In the case of the PFM, it cannot carry K-13M in its current configuration as proven by sources. Its that simple.



It has never been done based purely on service, but also its configuration. A Soviet configured and service PFM cannot fire K-13M. It simply does not have that ability to carry them. The same case with R-3R because it does not have the radar to guide it. It so happens that the version used in Soviet service was also a uni

Comment

The criteria hasn't changed.


1) The F-4F has sources supporting its ability to carry the missile.

2) The PFM does not have sources showing it can carry the missile and even if we went with the hypothetical route (which references my old post) we then have sources that confirm it cannot even theoretically carry it in its Soviet version.


The process has not changed, there simply is no evidence the PFM could carry them in its current configuration, even theoretically.



Its been forwarded to the consultants. They will now need to review all the s

Comment

This is incorrect. Our criteria is very clear. Source material needs to be present linking the weapon to the aircraft and then its for the developers to decide. The Soviet PFM was not even able to theortically carry the K-13M as originally suggested here after further review.


The German F-4F has historical primary sources showing it can mount the AIM-9J:

1) GAF TO 1F-4F-1 Flight Manual, 15 October 1975, revised 15 July 1976,

2) GAF TO 1F-4F-34-1 Weapons Delivery Manual, 15 September 1976.


Meanwhile, on the contrary to the PFM, our consultants investigated t

I did not heard on such plans.


There is no easy way to fairly separate vehicles from WW2 and Cold War.

What should we use for a split line? End of WW2 in Europe? On Pacific?

Even if we decided on one, what next? What is WW2 vehicle? Machine that has been in combat during WW2? Build? Tested? Started but not finished? Prototype? If you decide to check, you will notice that many Cold War machines started to be developed in WW2. Many Cold War vehicles were designed during Cold War but with WW2 mindset.

Even theoretically simple task to separate them is complicated and c

You need to have claimed the first reward to start counting the second.

I see you have not experienced many April 1sts and know what the day means )))))


Unless this post itself is a joke too, in which case touché.

Comment

Thats a real historical event and Gagarin was also a pilot. Again, its about the context of the game with history in a realistic based setting.
