yeah I got them wrong, my bad, seems it was going to have something like the ARBS found on A-4M and Harrier IIs on lower compartment. is it just simply not fitted with? or too obsolete to be include with?
Probably just didn’t want to pay for it, iirc the British Hawk 128’s have illumination lamp there instead, so it’s not just Indonesia

If they were going to add the prototype hawk 200 they could have taken a few more creative liberties (I think it had the AN/APG-66H?)
Like skyflashes or mavericks [nvm just saw it has mavericks] or amraams (if compatible or perhaps for a later variant)
I hope they add somethin unique or cool y’know?
they did add the Maverick based from the trailer (either A or D model)

I just saw a screenshot of it a second ago and i was l was like damn lol
But me point stands that i hope a later variant with perhaps a radar missile or somethin comes… or the ground attack.
Just more unique variants of it would make me happy :D
there’s basically two prototypes*:
ZH200 that we’re getting in game - onboard guns, no radar, & no wing tip AAMs
ZJ201, pre-production model for radar testing - No guns, APG-66H, & Wing tip AAMs
ZJ201 is representative of the models sold to Oman, Malaysia, & Indonesia.
It’s honestly a massive bummer, another subsonic 9L flinger is super mid
*ZH200 is the replacement for the original prototype ZG200 which crashed

they might be planning on implementing it as two separate aircraft with the early version & late version?
one with and without ARH
Normally they’d show both in the trailer right?
While ARH missiles were offered, Id rather Skyflash, a lower BR SARH missile carrier would be nice for both the UK and JP trees given the reliance on IRs for both

Could be for the Dec update, that way the brits get to enjoy the exclusivity for a little while & then implement the other version to the UK tree + JP via ID or MY

Sounds to me like they want to add ZJ201 alongside Hawk 208 / 209

Does anyone know anything about upgrade programmes for the Malaysian Hawk 208s?
there is an article about it, but it’s old
https://www.malaysiandefence.com/hawk-upgrades/
https://www.malaysiandefence.com/open-tender-hawk-upgrade/
not sure if 208 upgraded their Sky Guardian RWR to Selex SEER one like TNI-AU did
I am not aware of an upgrade programm, but Malaysian Hawk 208 would be the best choice IMO, as its confirmed to be capable of using up four AIM-9s and even a gun pod - things we’ve never seen on Indonesian Hawk 209s.
