So Hawk T.2 can be armed then?

Isn’t that explicitly talking about the Hawk T.1?

They specify that the Red Arrows use the T.1 for display role, so when they are talking about the other roles they are referring to the T.2, at least thats what I understood.

The banner at the top says Hawk T.1. Also it’s a sales advert and the UK Government is not selling Hawk T.2s. But it is selling the Hawk T.1s we’re planning to retire

Brochure is a bit of a mess as it has Hawk T2 photos on the front page and specs for the T2’s Adour 951 engine. But it has Hawk T1 specified in the top-right.

DESA is an MoD agency for the sale of surplus (i.e. retired) UK military equipment, which would be T1s. I’m not aware of us selling any surplus T.2s yet, and sales of new aircraft (i.e. Hawk 120s) would be done by BAE and the Foreign Office rather than MoD.

Really appreciate it guys :)

did any of the jaguars/buccaneers carry PGMs or other guided munitions?

The Buccaneer S.2B carried Martel missiles.

what planes are the top right and bottom middle ones?

Bottom middle looks like F-5

Top right I’m not so sure? A-4 Skyhawk maybe? Or Supamarine Scimitar?

Top right scimitar, bottom right is BAE Hawk and bottom middle I do think could be a F-5

Bottom right is an A-4 Skyhawk.

This is a BAE Hawk from the front

It’s great to finally see some Red Top changes. It should have good flare resistance now with that FoV change.

But the aerodynamic range and seeker sensitivity are what’s really holding it back.

@Smin1080p are there more Red Top changes planned this patch or is that it? It’s been over 3 years since I first reported the massively underperforming aerodynamic range. It would be really good to finally see the Red Top get fully fixed.

I’ve only seen movement on the seeker FOV and Gimbal limits reports so far.

Heres hoping for some guidance fixes too, they seem to sometime just miss a target
