I guess gajin might consider add premium pack pre-order aircraft rank 8 (11.3-12.7 BR) after introduced rank IX (9)
Anyone willing to proof-read my proposal before i submit it, I do have it saved in-case it disappears however i want to ensure i got the tone ‘right’ plus it might be a bit boring.
To me personally
CF-18 makes most sense
There is Canadian ADATS in ground tech tree and CF-18 would be one of more capable jets at top tier
It would be slower than F-16s but would make up for in AoA and A2G ordnance.
At least something before Eurofighters.

i think sa has been ruled out so cf18 is most likely if not domestic
i would if i was good at writing
To be fair, plans can change. This was a statement from over a year ago. In the current game state, I would personally be very surprised if the SAAF Gripen were added as anything but tech tree.

Hahaha, I had to put a lot of mental interest to be good at writing, I often pre-empt an argument which comes across as stand-offish, i had to write it as I wanted it, and now I am rewriting parts.
If i was to use and un-orthodox F-16AJ precedent for the F-14K what are the chance’s I would likely have to send my proposal to someone such as yourself for direct review and moderation?
Oh and to chip onto that I agree with you on the SAAF Gripen.
A suggestion for a British F-14 would constitute a fictional vehicle, so the suggestion wouldn’t be accepted no matter how well written it is. The addition of the F-16AJ doesn’t mean that similar vehicles meet our suggestion criteria.

I see, so this is a decision only Gaijin can make?
Essentially it is okay for it to be suggested for the Japanese as it was an internal suggestion however it is not open for external proposals?
In that case is there a method of passing this over as a suggestion to one such individual who would be able to make such an internal suggestion?
If they have something else planned for uk f14 isn’t needed so it depends on them
They have promised a ‘top tier jet’
I specify a fighter because as far as interceptors go, I’m sure the Tornado is one of the best in-game. Good payload and good avionics.
However Britain lacks a top tier ‘fighter’ which is what most people play Air RB for. The fact that we know Sweden is due Gripen, a fighter but when the UK is mentioned it becomes a top tier ‘jet’ makes me suspect its a Tornado or Harrier.
Furthermore when I asked Smin to clarify he didn’t state if it was a new airframe (Tornado or harrier improvement would not be a new airframe).

I hope for something that a harrier and a tornado is all we can do
It’s not an internal “suggestion” but an internal decision within the company, so not really. The best you can do is ask someone like smin about whether Gaijin would consider it, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one.
The f14(uk) is a long shot to be fair
I see thanks for clearing that up.
By merit it should be (its more or less the same circumstances) however I expect the answer to be no. But I will ask.
Neither the UK or Japan used the aircraft proposed, both got denied popular additions as they were OP but both also came close to purchasing such aircraft to fill a capability gap during the same time period.
The only reason I even consider it is because the AJ literally is the same scenario with obvious national differences in minor details.
It’s not a case of my Yak-141 v EAP argument, its very nearly the same scenario

It is very similar but i still doubt it would happen but love if it did
I mean, sure, but with Japan there were very few, if any, other nations which a plane could be drawn from without immediately starting a riot, and I don’t believe Japan operates any vehicles from another country in-game. The UK is connected to the entire Commonwealth, and while people would probably still complain, you’d be far more likely to see a real plane operated by the Commonwealth than a proposed F-14 sale.
