Yeah, I’d love to see the Vulcan anyway because if it’s sheer size and capacity.
For a direct equivalent to the F-111. Then either TSR2 or an Early Tornado would be better. Vulcan would be more like an equivalent to B-52.
That having been said. Australian F-111C could make an interesting event vehicle down the road.
In the American tree, just like the m1a1 aim
Why?
It could also go into the British Tree along with many many other Australian Vehicles like the Boomerang, Beaufighter, Centurion Mk5/1, etc.
What is the point the US having 2 identical F-111Cs in the same TT
But it’s isn’t Australian. It’s an export American. Like the m1a1 aim.
Its not Australian?
Despite being in Australian Service? In Australia?
Well in that case, no AV-8B+ for the US then, the Harrier is a British Aircraft.
AV-8A and AV-8C need to be moved to the British TT as they are British export aircraft, and thus not american.
B-57 is based upon the British Canberra, so does that make it British?
If ALL export vehicles go to the nation that built them. Then Hunter F58 needs to be moved to UK as well. But nope it didnt go there. it went to… Germany

I meant designed in Australia. The other US made vehicle in Australian service is in the US tech tree. Anyways, the harrier was used by the USA since it was a brand new design, and enough upgrades and differences between the British and American harrier to justify it. Idk why tf there is an AV-8B+ in Italy but no USA though. Why can’t 1 decent American jet design stay in the American tree. I don’t like copy paste, and there’s no need for an f111 in the British tree
Ok the hunter f58 is kinda dumb, I agree with you on that
If you dont like C&P maybe the US shouldnt export so much. Deal with, MANY nations will use and will continue to use US vehicles.
Germany, Sweden and Britain will likely get F-18s at some point.
Japan will likely get another F-15, so will probably Israel.
China will probably get at least 1 more F-16, probably a load of F-16s actually
Italy will get another F-16 probably, maybe even the Hungarian one.
many nations will continue to get C&Ps of US vehicles in service to other countries. that is what happens when you export everything and anything.
Britain nearly purchased F-14s, F-117s, F-111s and F-22s. and did buy F-35s. US vehicles will continue to appear everyone. You need to share, do you really want 2 identical aircraft in a single TT

Because you had 8 aircraft in 2023. Including several of the most OP aircraft for both A2A and A2G. you didnt need it. Italy meanwhile had 2 aircraft in 2023. One of which being the Av-8B+ and the F-16 still has no upgrades at all. meaning they are underperforming hard at top tier currently
Germany Sweden and Britain should not get f-18 because Sweden still has later gripen versions and Germany and GB have the euro fighter typhoon
Japan already has the best f15, I hope Israel doesn’t get another because it’s pure copy paste. China should not because they will have later j-11 and other fighters coming up
Sweden has Finalnd as a Sub-TT and FInland operate the F-18. With only 3 models of the Gripen remaining (1 coming in March) They dont have a lot left for top tier. F-18 is 100% expecting to pad their tree and give them some variety.
Britain and Germany, yes, we hope sooner rather than later.
If its a LOT later. Then what we have wont last. Germany especially with only the F4F-ICE lasting them until Typhoon. If Typhoon keeps getting delayed (and after the hate from the Gripen for several nations, including the US) I think it could be delayed significantly. At which point both nations will need something else, especially if they decide to leave AMRAAM off the Gripen C for Britain. F-18 from the Swiss for Germany and CF-18 from Canada for Britain would be an ideal candidate as a stop-gap.
CF-18 in perticular for Britain, as Britain already has several Canadian vehicles in our tree like the ADATS, and some like the LAV would be ideal as a top tier IFV. Combine with a Canadian Leopard and you could create a solid Canadian top tier line up

Fair points. I just hope the US actually gets the best version of its own fighter in the upcoming updates as now all potential new US fighters are in service or very recently out of service
My I say this before you try to say the CF-18 should go to USA. The early version (and they one that is thought to come) is a C&P craft bar visual changes.
If typhoon isn’t delayed I’d love to see it come with the f-18 for America. Also Sweden is good enough already and will be even better when the new gripens come out
Great, would be a nice squad vehicle for usa
Im expecting it more with something like the F-15C
Its not about good enough ,its about chocie/diversity.
Top tier for them literally being 1 row of aircraft, made up of 3 of the same aircraft but upgraded each time, would be really boring. Imagine if the US tree from now on was ONLY F-15 upgrades. No F-18, F-117, F-111C, etc. Nothing , the only vehicle the US will get from now on is the F-15
Did you miss the C&P part. Aka it it has no place in the US.
Plus that would only worsen Canada’s treatment. Which is the worst treated nation that doesn’t have a tech-tree.
Well the US has a pretty damn good aircraft industry, so that won’t happen. Even if it did the f-15 is arguably the best and most combat proven fighter jet, second only to the f-22. Also we could get the strike eagle and variants, and get 9x. My fav jet is the f15 tho so might be partial to ot
