Will the Mig-29 be in Germany also?
New naval crews voices are great imo. Especially when they inform you what kind of warship is being targetted.
What has they do with the Mi 24 weapons? >:(
How do you unlock the new female pilot icons they don't show unlock requirements?

I love that we are moving up the ladder, but WW2 is still my thing.. Anyway, Watching PhlyDaily playing with the Mig29 made me think that I'm watching an Ace Combat fight for a moment.. Keep up the good work.. much love
Well if we are following any sort of chronological order for jets the in January 1976, the first Eagle destined for a combat squadron, the 555th TFS, was delivered and therefore should have been in the US tech tree way before the F16 which began service ion 17 August 1978
You are aware that F-15 is was much deadlier machine than F-16?
What`s with the arcade hit marker in realistic battles? Stop adding things that make skill pointless, been playing for the last 7 years and it`s sad that you turn a good unique game in something generic. Same goes with laser range finder, one push of a button and you are in arcade battle, let players work for the points. What comes next? Health bar?
If you do not like to use laser rangefinder (actual thing in combat vehicles), do not use it and calculate everything by your own. It's same like no one force you to use calculator, you can do math in your head or on paper, right?
The new profile icons are a very nice addition, and I wouldn't even mind paying for one of them, but 1000 eagles for just a single icon people rarely even see feels a little steep to be honest. I could get a Rank 2 premium vehicle for that much...
I don't understand how Italy, China , Israel get a copy pasta F16 but Germany cant get a Mig 29 or at the very least the F4F-Ice or just some better AA for the current F4F
I feel like the r73s should be added but just make them balanced (eat flares like r60s) especially since all of its other missiles are very easy to doge with flares, (I'm not just russian main I play most tech trees) I only think this because America gets 2 f16s and other nations get good f16s aswell like come on, other then that good update and looking towards get the new 4th gens.
