@Texas_Engineer_Mike

Ignore other jets

In fact CF-18 (Early) and CF-18 IMP (Incremental Modernization Project) from RCAF are a great choice for fighter aircraft toptier at 12.0 & 12.7 BR

CF-18 HEP ‘Hornet Extension Project’’ it might be early 4+ gen fighter aircraft in rank IX (9)

@KhorneFlakez1337

The SAAF Gripen would have to get weapons that the SAAF never operated either way

So Gripen C (Early) from SAAF no armed radar-guided BVR (Beyond-Visual-Range) missile ?

[Mytho-GR1]

They are going to remove the SA heil do you guys think there is a reason behind that

[Texas_Engineer_Mike]

It was selling badly

[TheRagingAppleX]

Its either a new Tornado variant, Sea Harrier FA. 2 or a Indian Mig 29K

@TheRagingAppleX

New Tornado F.4

I suggest you brush up on your Tornado versions, there is no F.4

Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Thought I’d restore my Tornado thread from the old forum. I’ll improve the formatting later. Tornado GR.1 / GR.1A / GR.1B The Tornado GR.1 was the first Tornado version to enter service with the RAF. It entered front line service in 1982, having been in service for training since 1980. It originally entered service with Mk.101 engines (8,700 lb dry / 14,840 lb reheat), but was later upgraded to Mk.103 engines (9,105 lb dry / 16,006 lb reheat). The Tornado GR.1A was a dedicated reconnaissance v…

Sea Harrier FRS. 2

Its FA.2 not FRS.

BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

Thread is WIP Sea Harrier FRS.1 [image] The British Aerospace Sea Harrier is a naval short take-off and vertical landing/vertical take-off and landing jet fighter, reconnaissance and attack aircraft. It is the second member of the Harrier Jump Jet family developed. It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980 as the Sea Harrier FRS1 and became informally known as the “Shar”. Unusual in an era in which most naval and land-based air superiority fighters were large and supersonic,…

So they can say Britain has no South African Aircraft.

Joking but its probably selling badly because the Lynx is just awesome, and to get some last minute panic-buys it will encourage purchases.

[Texas_Engineer_Mike]

Not the F.4 but close enough: 1:72 Panavia “Tornado F.6”; aircraft “ZF205/CG” of the Roy… | Flickr

[Mytho-GR1]

i was going to buy it any way

[Gunjob]

That’s a 1:72 model my guy haha.

[Texas_Engineer_Mike]

Nope. It’s real in my dreams

[TheRagingAppleX]

South African Gripen would be nice

[Flame2512]

@Gunjob

Its FA.2 not FRS.

Well, technically it was originally called the FRS.2. But that very quickly got changed to FA.2.

[FlyingOstridge]

So why did they do that? Was it suddenly incapable of recon?

Edit: S in nomenclature means Strike which includes nuclear. So could the FRS.1 carry thermonuclear weapons like the We.177?

[Cpt_Bel_V]

Do you even know what 10kT will do to any maps?

Get real ThermoNuclear tactical devices are not getting implemented.

[FlyingOstridge]

You’re a bit late for that to happen since it’s been in game for a few years at this point :/

[da12thmonkey]

@FlyingOstridge

So could the FRS.1 carry thermonuclear weapons like the We.177?

Yes

[FlyingOstridge]

Nice. I’m guessing that the FA.2 lost this ability to the Trident.

[Cpt_Bel_V]

It’s been in game,… but not for the current purpose of solely Ground Attack,…

It is in game because of Gaijin adding a way to end high tier ground battles.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Must be low sales.
Sometimes packs get retired due to age, but I’m not sure if 14 months is old enough and I don’t think there would be any british, ANZAC or SA heli that could replace the pack heli spot

Edit: Actually, there could be a replacement coming from 'straya in form of the Eurocopter Tiger ARH
