If thats our “top tier” jet for the year, I’d be quite upset. Another bomber would suck. DOnt get me wrong, it would be fun to have, but totally unneeded considering we have some of the best CAS jets in the game already. What is needed ASAP is something, anything, actually competitive at top tier in A2A
Very true, guess we will see tomorrow afternoon or in a data-mine if the UK gets anything remotely competitive
Yeah… fingers crossed.
Just been confirmed by Smin, Britain is getting no aircraft this update. So time to uninstall till December

Thought it was no top tier aircraft.
Yep. So there is hope for a non top tier aircraft:
From what i’ve seen we could still see some lower tier aircraft, there are some options for the lower Br’s
I seriously doubt it at this point. We’ve got 3 new vehicles already confirmed coming this update. That 50% more than we got last major udpate and more than we usually get.
none at all?
not even… an F-111C or K?
jeez, they really didn’t like us bug reporting everything wrong with the Harrier and Tornados xD
It was confirmed on stream the F-111A would be variant coming this patch.
and no other variants? (i didnt see the english stream)
Yep it was confirmed by Mike this will be the only variant coming this patch.

Yep, nothing of note this update. Only the Vickers mk11 which is a massive downgrade to the rooikat
I mean I’m kinda interested in it if for no other reason than “MUH BRITISH LIGHTS”
but equally i’m surprised about the no SHAR FA.2 thing.
Yeah, but it’s slower and larger than the rooikat, has worse shell, no TVD and no drone.
But yeah, top tier air would have been nice. But so would have been things like a new Jag, or some tornado Gr1 missing features

It they’re adding a aircraft to the british techtree this update its probably going to be a premium varient of some aircraft that’s already in game.
Maybe they’ll do something similar to how they did the Harriers or a10s by making and late and early varient if they’re adding the sea harrier fa2 this update
god i genuinely hope not
Awful idea. FA2 is DOA as is already don’t wanna grind two of them
How so would it be DOA?
If its the first jet to be added with AMRAAMs as a test bed, it’ll be pretty good.
the FA.2 Is the most logical jet to be the first added in game with AMRAAMs.
We all know how the harriers perform, so it isnt going to be OP by any means in terms of speed or maneuverability, so it makes it a perfect testbed for the new missile to the game.
By the time you’ve taken off, got to a good altitude for long range shots, fired, turned around, enemy jets in its BR bracked (Most likely 11.3 & up) will be able to chase it down before it RTB.
Would also like the FA.2 purely for this skin.
Alternatively, they could add the FA.2 before they add AMRAAMs, because you know, 4 x AIM-9M.
