They carried AGM-12s I guess but apparently not in War Thunder… So they could technically they could fill in most roles as “Multirole Aircraft”.
Probably not, SHar FA2 is my guess for next aircraft. Maybe Q2 next year is my earliest guess
British Phantoms couldn’t carry AGM-12s. They were planned to at one point, but it got cancelled.
Maybe… depends if dumb bombs count. No guidance means limited value in GRB
Really? Well I guess they wasted money on giving the Radar the capability of carrying them then lol.

Since we won’t be getting any British true Multiroles until the later Eurofighter Variants I hope to see the BAe EAP in-game at least to fill in the gaps within the Tech Tree.

Apparently someone made a suggestion for it, it was approved, but is not on the forum for some reason.

Youve just summed up the entirity of the british aerospace industry for much of the past few decades

Only the Royal Navy used Bullpup (RAF trialled it in the 1950s but never adopted it). And the decision to cut the FAA Phantom fleet down as a result of cutting the number of ships in the fleet that would be capable of operating Phantom, was taken before the plane was even in service.
First flight of a Royal Navy Buccaneer S.2D trials aircraft with Martel-capability to replace Bullpup, was also in the very same month that the first Phantom FG.1 was delivered
Basically, Bullpup capability was considered redundant before the Royal Navy had their hands on Phantom.
FGR.2s weren’t planned to be equipped for Bullpup at all. Potentially the RAF were looking at Martel capability, but it wasn’t funded.
Yep, and then Martel got cancelled on cost grounds.
So could the FG1 theoretically get the same Bullpups that are on the Buc S2 then?
As far as I know Bullpup integration was cancelled
Still could be an interesting bug report. They’ve added things in a similar situation before.
I mean if Gaijin is willing to give the YaK-41 flares (which historically it never had), then surely the F-4 UKs could get the SRAAMs or AGM-12s.
The British Phantoms aren’t unique besides their engines so it would actually bring something of worth to the jets as well at least.
At least the FG1 could get AGM-12s (in theory)

I’d assume this includes the Martel AJ-168 but I’m not sure what that “Electronic Pod” is meant to be.
Highly doubt Gaijin would implement any of these missiles (ASRAAMs, AGM-12s or Martels) to the British Phantoms simply because the UK is a non-primary focused nation unlike Germany, USSR or USA (also known as the cash cows of War Thunder)

Probably the data link pod for video from the Martel missile.
Is the Jaguar International something that could be added to both British and French tech trees?
@galaxygms @da12thmonkey Here’s the sales brochure description of the optional radar upgrade for Jaguar International:

I think that, compared to the versions we have, it wouldn’t be relevant. But the one equiped with the radar could be interesting once ground radars are properly implemented together with anti-ship missiles.
