Nah, gimme a Kestrel at that BR (or rather a P.1127)
Yeah, it could.
I thought it was like 130 to be fair but if its 180 then nevermind.
Either way it would be significantly better in tbe vertical than the Ariete and CL13 but have equal energy retention and turn capabilities.
Still ain’t gonna stop me from asking for it and complaining if it is 9.7 rather than 9.3.

Proto-harrier?
I can’t lie at that br a harrier would need the missiles to carry the poor airframe.
As much as the harrier can be good it isnt on the level of pure gun-fighters.
If it was gun only with good stats, then i really cant think of why anyone would have issue with 9.3. You’ve got aircraft like the Lightning at 9.3

God I hate flying the Lightning, I just can’t get used to the starfighter-esque gameplay, doesn’t help that the missiles suck balls
Also, why does that thing not have access to the retractable rocket pod :(

Yup, 9.3 should be a hard br cap for missiless aircraft too and then 9.7-10.0 for flareless
Its Britain who’s really gonna fly/spam it anyway.
Yeah… Red Top overhaul needed to come a year ago. Though I do fear its BR if it does get true Red Tops. Maybe even as high as 10.0. (god knows what would happen to the Sea-vixen we’ve got if that does come to pass)
Yeah, We also need a sea vixen for retractable rocket pods ( I think its either the FAW 1 or FAW 20, can never remember) Its about time we got one for the TT

Even though I can fly the airframe, I feel scummy doing it knowing i cannot be caught up to, and if i wanted to be I’d be genuinely unkillable.
Also its just not fun like the Tornado tbh.
I mean, I know the P.1127 wouldn’t be that good, but I would still fly it a lot because I love VTOL stuff
Though, I could see it being much better in GRB with the SNEB and RP-2 rocket pods

There are dozens of “maybe not great, but certainly interesting and niche” additions that have simply never been added. Like the Avro Vulcan. Might be a totally useless, DOA aircraft that would rarely serve anything more than target practice. I’d fly it constantly.
It’s why I get really annoyed whenever I see people say “If you want aircraft, maybe go back in time and get Britain to buy/make more”

There’s tonnes, but also tonnes of them would be like US equivalents that got cancelled by the White paper.
The 1957 white paper is impossible to illustrate just how much stuff that cancelled.
We could reallyyyyy do with an overhaul. Including some of the niche stuff, niche can be good
God I hate how often I have to read that
I don’t care if the aircraft britain built won’t be meta, they still existed and should get added

And what’s really stupid, I think a few could have been or would now be at their BR (maybe struggle in an uptier, but few dont)
You could fill entire updates with only British additions or previous vehicle overhauls. Its the other thing I get really annoyed about with US and USSR getting so many additions “because they have loads of IRL vehicles” That is just a BS excuse.
Even if we dont get anything new, so many aircraft could just do with some TLC. Still waiting for incredibly minor and stupidly easy things to get patched like 540s missing on 5 pylons on the Gr7.

Those fucking 540 lbs bombs, as if the GR.7 didn’t have enough mods that have to be researched, no, you also have to unlock TWO!!! FIVE-HUNDRED-FORTY LBS BOMBS!
Might need an entire new column soon, depending on whether htey want to make MAWS stock
Oh god, please no
I’ve also heard the AV-8B+ might need another column due to BVR weapons
Before the topic is derailed more. I’ll tell you this use the Skinks armour to your advantage. Most planes will fly straight at you making them easy targets.
