Yes it was, but we have seen intended weaponry get added, and this was considered quite seriously

Does anyone have any photos of Lightning F.6 XP693? It was used to test the BK-27, likely replacing one or more of the ADEN cannons in its gunpack.
Theres two photos of it, I can’t see any guns fitted, however its likely they brought it back to normal specifications after the trials were finished
Do were know roughly where the gun/s were fitted?

They dropped the AS.30 before the first prototype unfortunately. They could only be carried subsonic and required too much development work.
According to accounts provided to me by @FlyingOstridge, the BK-27 was mounted instead of the left hand side ADEN cannon
I suppose that if the TSR.2 is suggested that it can still count, as many vehicles have received both planned and tested armament in game

It replaced either both or just the left hand side gun (I’m not too sure). Allegedly this is a photo of the fitting which I took from This post from 8 years ago on Brit modeller

I’m sure you’ve all seen this
Looks like APHE is going to go from “Nuke APHE” to “AP but a bit better”
This should level the playing field a bit and comparitively make Britain low/mid tier quite a bit better

Just like real life…
It wasn’t even planned they carried out small scale wind tunnel tests and dropped them due to the limitations
