prop with Modern ground attack munition?
damn I never thought of that.
Interesting but difficult to add to a correct rank.
I would have no chance against sam or radar spaag.
And the modern weapons doesn’t allow it to be in lower rank
I think airframes like this, OV-10, Pucara, Strikemaster etc should only be playable in ground or PVP in much the same way that the Walrus is only playable in naval or helicopters generally. That would fix them coming up against Hurricanes or Fulcrums.

You mean the T-6 Texan II?
No sorry, that’s completely wrong: The PC-9 was the original design, then developed into the Raytheon/Beechcraft T-6 Texan II for the JPATS program. The first flight of the PC-9 was 1984, the T-6 only flew in 1998.
I was there in 1984 when the PC-9 was rolled out. I was just 10y old then, and grew up about a mile from Pilatus Aircraft.
And the PC-9 is actually loosely based on the Pilatus PC-7, which in turn was a development from the piston powered Pilatus P-3.
PC-21, PC-9 and PC-7 of the Swiss AF.
P-3
While that is true. We do not count the original in terms of who the successor is. This isn’t really any different.
T-6 Texan I-> Its successor ->T-6 Texan II. PC-9 does not count. As a direct relative.
