Britain Air Forces

I wouldn’t exactly call rank 5 britian healthy when you only get
6 meteors with only one being useable god knows why the mk3 isnt 6.7.
A 7.0 nobody remembers exists along with its copypaste premium.
A meteor that is a bomber.
A meteor pretending to be a bomber.
Overtiered vampire that’s worse than literally everyone elses, hell sweden got 2 vampires and both are better.
An 8.7 with 8.0 performance on a good day.
A 7.7 version of the 8.7 thats just average.
A worse version of a German premium.
And then the only good rank fives being the swifts and sea vixen.

Most of rank 5 britain could do with a lowering of their br I genuinely don’t understand who believes the Venom should be fighting Mig-21S or a vampire with a worse engine and guns being the same br as the others

which is an absolute sin given F-14 and Tornados also have it

Sea Vixen is debatably not that good because uh, well uh no guns and Red Top excess drag

At least with the vixen nothing in its BR can actually engage it with guns unless you purposefully do something wrong and redtops arent that bad when you force people to near stall and then launch

I think the Gnat would be as meta as the Ariete so pretty damn good and the Type 545 would be super good with not only 4 red tops (which should be all aspect) or firestreaks but also a 2 ADEN’s and super good flight performance.

I agree because its probably the only thing viable in that rank.

Id like the Omani Hunter too with 4 9J’s or the Singaporean FGA.74BS.

Hunter vs F-14 xD

And the SRAAMS aren’t and weren’t even all aspect lmfao.

Too many cool planes I wanna see for the UK and only two of them are Yak-141’y (Type 545 Superswift and the P.1121 Hurricane)

Overall what are our most wanted aircraft in-game for the current br spread, with an emphasis on prototype and partially constructed aircraft?

Shar imo. Not that it would be very good but it’s one of those vehicles that you don’t really care how they perform tbh

That is one yeah I have a hunch it comes in the next major, not sure i’ll fly it but it is iconic.

Do you know of any obscure prototypes like the Type 545 and P.1121?

I mean given the Sky Guardian RWR in the files its most likely either the Shar or the Hawk for our AMRAAM carrier if we get a new one, plus given the recent additions of the Alpha jet thats even more likely for us to see the hawks

Sky Guardian is another name for the ARI 18228/10 on the Bucc S.2B

Fingers crossed the Hawk replacement turns up something useful too. Maybe something like the FA-50 which can serve as a light CAS/light fighter on the level of the F-5.

Supersonic Hawk when BAE

I was at York a couple months back, fantastic museum. Got to watch the Bucc fire up her engines, my lord what a noise.

Well i was told by one of the staff that next weekend there is an open cockpit day for almost all the aircraft at elvington (Most excited to sit in the tornado) and they may start up the Nimrod mr.1 that they have .

That’s a problem with basically every cockpit in WT. Your camera is basically in the chest of a real person. I believe they once upon a time said it had something to do with having crosshairs line up for mouse aim or something like that

Superswift got passed, of course models take absolutely ages particularly as gaijin does a pretty good job at getting them technically accurate but that could be so damn awesome if added.
