Because as Smin as said, the dev team that works on ground is different than the team that works on air. So doing whataboutism in regards to an air to air missile while using ground to air missiles as your examples doesn’t work.
I know it’s not technically British but seeing as we have SA as a subtree… there’s speculation that the SuperHind/NightHawk might be coming in the major update, do we have any detailed information on the differences between the marks and general capabilities?
Imma be honest, I’m a bit sad it wasn’t a 111K, because well that’s actually British, and despite what Smin says, it did exist. Yes it wasn’t completed, but then you could make and argue the point about how the F-16AJ doesn’t exist at all and how the Yak 141 just didn’t do anything but fly around
I believe the reason it wasn’t added it because it isn’t really needed
Britain already has the Buccaneer, Tornado, Jaguar, Phantoms etc… and now the F111C which all do a similar job. It was mostly completed, but not fully and it never had weapons fitted for anything.
I’d really like to see the F111F just because it is a cool jet, but I can understand Gaijins reasoning here
I’m more annoyed about the EAP, Britain could have got that instead of the Gripen. Yes the EAP was never fully complete, but it was in no worse state than the Yak141 for example. It would have been a domestic top tier British jet, instead of just getting a Swedish one
