Britain Air Forces

I think they just have random reports thrown on the table so they fix them without looking at other comparable vehicles, BR, performance or other issues with the vehicle.

Like they only bother fixing things if they are the star of the update or if vehicle is in pre-release state.

I’ll refer you to my other post. Calling it a high drag airframe is pretty misleading…

Yeah I know that. What I mean is Gaijin probably won’t take it into account which will make the Gripen very draggy in game (similar to M2K on release)

Not drag dont gimp it any further then they have to

I might expect any day gaijin add lightweight multirole fighter aircraft toptier for british tech tree after F-4M Phantom FGR.2 before Eurofighter Typhoon from RAF

Already been denied

You mean EAP? Irritatingly that got denied for lack of information from what I can see. They kinda just said the same things as last time but this time it made even less sense.

The information they want is held by BAe heritage, I don’t think I can get a hold of it but I will try.

For now its definitely a no.

I’m having a brainfart moment, what do you mean by “They kinda just said the same things as last time but this time it made even less sense”?

To translate it from Gaijin speak. They pretty much said. “Oh hey this is pretty good. Shame it’s not Russian so our double standards don’t apply. Thank you for your time and please buy another russian premium))))))”

Thought I’d post this little paragraph I found in the archives for a laugh. The MOD did evaluate the F-22 as an alternative to the Eurofighter:

They went yeah its better but no air to ground and that price tag

F-117 too, it seems the UK has always been offered US stealth aircraft even those export forbidden, its always been the RAF saying ‘we’d love it, but we can’t afford it’.

IIRC BAE modernises a lot of the F-22, I know they also make the F-35 bays I wonder if they did those on the F-22 too. Also project Replica data was passed to the American’s and may have made its way onto the YF-22 and YF-23.

Rolls Royce make f35b middle jet i think

Yeah RR co-develop the engines and make the lift system.

Guys if the leaks are right which currently they are we could see the south african Gripen, which I’m happy cause gajin didnt just give us a premium tornado say its our new top tier aircraft.

Though it could still happen cause it stated thats whats confirmed and doesnt include what they are working on so we might see a premium tornado for our new top tier aircraft. So we aint out yet

The one that is most likely

Yeah, though if our new “top tier aircraft” was a premium C&P of the Gr1. Theyd be screwed.
