My focus is on Tier 10, planes from the 50's, and planes around the 700 MPH speed. The current Tier 10 are planes from the 50's, that were around 700 MPH at their best.
I will start with the US. The XF-90 was a cancelled project. It was slower than the Sabre. It doesn't make sense to have it as the fastest Aircraft. If you want that, then get the Convair F-102 Delta Dart. Seeing as the game "cheated" by putting the XF-90 in, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to put the M61 Vulcan on the F-102. It was proposed but, never put on. The F-106 did have a Vulcan in a later retrofit.
The F7U shouldn't be there as well. It flew, and retired within just a few years. It killed too many pilots. It's top speed was 697 MPH but, only with afterburners, and in the best conditions. I was thinking of either fixing it's speed (it was faster than the Sabre), or finding a replacement. I looked up a few replacements. I was hoping you all could discuss what would be the best for it.
If you all choose a replacement, I found the F4D Skyray (722 MPH), F-11 Tiger/Super Tiger (727 MPH), and the F3H Demon (716 MPH).
The Sabre and F-84 are at speeds well below at what they performed. The Sabre should not be slower than the MIG, and it's firepower should not be that far apart. The Sabre had a top speed of 687 MPH (3 MPH faster than the MIG). the .50 MG's of course could not do the structural damage of a 23mm Autocannon but, they were much easier to hit with (not that it mattered). The Sabre had excellent gun optics to help with that. I am thinking increasing the Firepower rating to 600 or 650 should fix this.
As for the F-84F.. This flew at 695 MPH (best conditions, no load). It had a bomb load of 6,000 pounds. This is more than the IL-40 prototype which could hold up to 3,100 pounds. I am not sure what would be the best fix here but, it's definately out of order.
I could not find data on the specific models of Japanese Tier 10 so I will move on to Germany now. Am I correct in thinking the Tier 10's were made up? I could not find the specific models to all but 1. The 1 I could find was an idea that never left the drawing board. The only thing I can think of to help Germany, is by replacing one of the fighters with the Canadair Sabre (CL-13). It had a top speed of 710 MPH which puts it on the Supermarine Swift level, and makes it faster than the American Sabre. I am not sure which fighter to replace it with though.
Russia seems to be ok with the MIG. I don't know what to think with it using so many prototypes though.
Moving on to the UK. What in the heck happened here? The Supermarine Swift appears to be fine but, the Javelin is not. It basically had the same top speed as the Swift. Why is there such a large gap? Some of the advantages a Javelin has, is the higher service ceiling, and radar.
That brings up another discussion. If there were more radar based aircraft added, would it be fair to let them have better "visual" then other aircraft? Give them the ability to serve as Scouts?
What would your thoughts be on adding the Hawker Hunter as Multirole (715 MPH), the Supermarine Scimitar as an Attack Aircraft (736 MPH), and the De Havilland Sea Vixen as a fighter (radar)(695 MPH)?
Regarding the Supermarine Scimitar, this is where I was going with it. " A total of 100 were ordered, although the Royal Navy had changed the specification to a low level strike aircraft with nuclear capability rather than a fighter". I guess it could be used as a replacement to the Javelin though.
The last piece of Discussion I would like to bring up is regarding premium planes. I read earlier forums. Premium Aircraft seem to be a back and forth thing. It doesn't seem like people can agree on it. I do see that people see it as a way for World of Warplanes to make money.
Assuming the making money part, would adding the CAC Sabre be too much? It was the Australian Sabre that was capable of 700 MPH, and used 2, 30mm ADEN Cannons. If it was added, it would be a Tier 10. I would imagine that it would have to be restricted somehow. Perhaps require the person to be at Tier 8 before they can purchase it?
This is the most I have. I will be sure to take notes when the responses come in. From there I will figure out a way to suggest these. Thank you if you respond
