I just check youtube and there is a (poor quality) video made by guy with same GPU

From what I can see from this video, he got 30-50fps in Air Battles. I am guessing he was record video on same hardware, that's why video quality is so bad and he got a lot of framedrops.

For future, always try to check such things in google/youtube. Simply type gpu name + game you want to play. There is big chance someone already tried it and posted a video/review on it

If you can provide a manual or primary source for the F-104G having or specified with AIM-9J, then this can be taken further.

But there is no information we have currently supporting German F-104Gs ever even having the intention or possibility of mounting AIM-9J.

We are being consistent as there is no source for the German F-104G to support this. A USAF operated F-104G is not a Luftwaffe one and there are no supporting primary manual based sources that back this up for the German Starfighter.

These aircraft are still classified officially as under USAF service. Regardless of their final destinations or place of manufacture. The 58th Special Operations Wing as an example who operated the aircraft is a branch of the USAF. Not the Luftwaffe.

None the less. It does not change the fact we have yet to find any sources that the German F-104Gs had or were specified to carry AIM-9J.

If you can present that, then as I said, please do via a report. But using the USAF training F-104Gs is not going to be sufficient at all.

This is a USAF F-104G, not a German one.

Because there is no mention of any kind of German 104Gs having AIM-9J. If you have some, we would welcome it in a bug report.

Yes. As well has Battleships (large ships in general), Helicopters and quite a lot more.

I dont really see what worth my personal opinion means here?

Its not for me to decide whats what and I myself have not yet gone for the IIIE yet. The F-104J has had most of my time this patch so far among other things

In general they are not. When we decide something, we try to be as clear as possible. But there are a few things in the past we may have said no to and then the community has showed it clearly wanted to go in that direction. So we listen and adapt.

But as with any long term video game which is coming up for 9 years now, the game evolves, the community grows and things change.

This is going to happen regardless.

There are people on the forums / Reddit who keep entire imgur albums of all our previous posts so they can repost it whenever one of our names is mentioned to farm some rep / karma points from a post. It literally means nothing at all, but its not going to stop people with nothing better to do from doing it anyway.

They were removed because there are no valid sources or mention of them in the Soviet Flight Manual or Soviet documentation. Its not uncommon for event vehicles to be specific variants.

In this case, it was a Soviet PFM with X-66.

You are referring to export variants of the PFM under foreign nations service. Which is not the one we have in game.

Better engines don't always equate to better performance depending on what else has changed.

Regardless, im not an FM developer and cant change the FM. So it just needs to be correctly reported.

When we will be ready, we will post announcement.

Please do not create topics just to ask such questions.
