I love the BAE hawks and do want to see the 120 and 203 but I know they all can’t be tech tree without being gimped out of loadouts like the T10 harrier was
A Hawk 203 and 205 would make very good event and/or premiums

but would be nicer to have as tech tree aircraft
I’d quite like an early hawk, even maybe a T1 at like 8.3/8.7 with just a gun pod for A2A
full arm loadout with my buddy bringing the tv ones, Same thing we do at 12.3 where i bring 4 alarms, 4 pgms and a bomb while he brings mainly kh29s.
Or itll finally let him play the su 25 without being accosted by spaa for once.
Now that the su 25 has been moved down to 9.7 im kinda hoping we get our own low tier cas plane, im hoping we see the a4k eventually.

Yeah, that is strong if you’ve got someone to do that with
Could do the T.1 at 8.3/8.7 with unguided rockets and bombs + gunpod and a T.2 around 9.7-10.0 with 9L.
Maybe also the Hawk 100 to fit a CAS role too.
9L would always be 10.3+
But one with SRAAMs maybe?

Magic 1 or Aim-9Gs would be another option for Sub 10.0.
They look like Magic 1s to me. The only real way I know to tell them apart is that the Magic 2 has small notches cut out of the leading edge of the rear fins.

I would really prefer not, We already have the Harrier GR.1 and Hunter F.6 pushed to a BR where they’re struggling severely
Especially as only 1 test Hunter F.6 got SRAAM, and Harrier GR.1 never carried SRAAM ever (its only ever been seen mounted on a trainer variant)
A 9.0 Hunter F.6 and 9.0 Harrier GR.1 (possibly W/ AIM-9B) would be pretty damn good

Something with SRAAMs and Flares though would be something different.
With a way worse FM than either F6 and GR1… Could make for an interesting aircraft for 9.3/9.7

Man I just wish they added Sraam-100 FR FR

I would love a hawk with sraam, but the thing i think deserves it the most is the jag. It would suit its play style far more than the harrier or hunters. The AOA it can pull would help alot in the dog fights if you had access to sraam.
A hawk with sraam at 10.0 with flares seems fine to me, a jag at 10.0, 10.3 with no flares but sraam and phimat would be quite nice and not too hard to balance as its just a slightly better hunter with still no flares but with enough hard points for rockets for it not to matter too much. I mean, the only time i use rockets are for all aspect missiles anyway as most of the time im paying attention so as to not get into situations where i have to use them.

The SRAAM utilised mounting lugs conforming to standard NATO Sidewinder rail specifications, meaning it could physically be fitted to any aircraft equipped with LAU-series Sidewinder launch rails, including the Jaguar and Hawk.
Going by the standard Gaijin moderators themselves referenced — that only technical feasibility counts — fitting SRAAM to the Jaguar or Hawk could be acceptable. The issue is the clear double standard they apply depending on the vehicle’s nation of origin.

Well we have that pamphlet page which shows that they were thinking of putting them on the hawk and jag at the very least.
would be nice to have sraam on the fgr2 as a choice between the aim9 or sraam

F.3 with sraams and hms (that thumbstick aim they had) would be quite fun. Would give us an aps.
Agree with that, shame tornado f3 never got its hmd so i doubt it will get it
