Agreed, and it’d likely even be more historical than the A-4N’s triple Mav rack (I’ve seen some contention among other players regarding the historical accuracy of that lol)

Honestly, call this a pipe dream, but my dream for the December update is both the F/A-18A and F/A-18C (same way we got the first F-16s), with the A-4M (late) also being added at the same time.

Even the A-4M ARBS would make my year tbh.

Same
Kahu and Fightinghawk are two other wishlist items for me
Add on Brazil’s AF-1B (probably for Italy), and you’d have the golden Skyhawk Quartet

Skyhawk struggle doesn’t end till we get all of the with all of the possible weapons ever.
Then and only then should a line be drawn abd the struggle ended. ( Goes for more than just skyhawks, I’m just tryna get the point across lol)

Real and true
(I still for one think both the AV-8A and AV-8C should get the GAU-12, seeing as it was outright evaluated on the AV-8A)

I might want AIM-9D for A-4F. but not sure A-4F place in a folder with A-4B & FJ-4B or under group A-4B & FJ-4B
A-4E (late) RWR, countermeasures and armament like A-4E Early (squadron vehicle). but upgraded with J52-P-8 engine only ?
Bottom image is of two from A-4ks (pre kahu) and two ex Australian Navy A-4gs

the kahu didnt have the same HUD as an f-16, they had a custom scotish Ferranti HUD that, acording to ex F-16 B72 draken pilots, is better to use than the vipers

Ah, I had assumed it was the same one due to using other F-16 systems. My apologies

"Two Colt Mk.12 20mm cannon with 100 rounds each.
Up to four AIM-9L Sidewinders on outboard and inboard wing pylons.
Alternatively the outboard station could carry one AGM-65B or G Maverick or a rocket pod with 19 CRV-7 2.8inch (70mm) unguided rockets or one Mk.82 500lb (226.8kg ) bomb.
The inboard station had the capacity to carry one Maverick or up to two CRV-7 rocket launchers. Instead of these up to three Mk.82 500lb bombs could be carried, or one Mk.83 1,000lb (454kg) unguided bomb or a GBU-16 Paveway II 1,000lb laser-guided bomb.
On the centreline station, the A-4K could carry up to 3 CRV-7 launchers or up to six Mk.82s or three Mk.83 bombs.
Instead of weaponry up to three drop tanks of 370 US Gallons (2,479lbs/ 1.400 litres) could be carried on stations 2, 3 and 4 (centreline and both inboard stations)."
Seems like a very open and shut case. You even have This source in your sources list.

Yes, I know, however i cannot just copy paste that, hence why I have written it like that.
But you could have? Specs are the one area we are allowed to C&P when making a suggestion.
