The amx A1M is very big upgrade compared to the A1A having lots of new features and equipment which im gonna list them here:
. new cockpit, changing the analogic instruments to 3 screens
.New radar , the amx a1m gets an radar called SCP-01 , it is stated by mectrom the responsible of creating this radar that this radar can detect both ground and air targets , with air targetts being able to be detected by around 20km depending on how big its RCS is
.New missile , being the MAA-1B an upgraded version of the one in game with better seeker with from what I understood IRCCM and a better maneuverability.
and also the option of using aim 9 B’s aswell
the only problem with this is that it seems that it didn’t went past the tests or the air force didn’t want to buy them, but it was said that it was meant to equip the amx so I supose it could enter the game since it was tested and worked.
.New HMD , the brazilian air force got some new helmets from Israel the DASH 4 from what I found.
and also the capacity of using night vision.
.Automatic flare/chaff dispenser
.New RWR aswell

So what I want with this topic, either this being added as an tech tree plane to at least give the brazilians something actualy good , or this be a premium aswell , maybe switching the A1A with this , idc if this goes 12.0 with the MAA-1B tbh, but I think this would be a very good plane and if made a premium in the place of the A1A the sales would probally went up since the A1A is not an easy plane to use neither an awesome one .
- Should AMX A1M be added ?
- Yes as an italian tech tree plane
- Yes as an premium in the place of the A1A
- No
If no, tell me why.
Thank you
