Twin engine VTOL starfighter

It flew (more than 300 flights), got armed and all.

It was not just a proto but a pre-prod plane, it’s only because it saddly didn’t find buyer that is was not mass produced (thanks ally USA for stoping that…).

Leave him alone !

doesn’t it have 6 engines

Dutch never had P5’s
With P3 I meant whatever the regular version is we have in game.
They test with 6x P but this was before there were P5’s.
Operationally only 4x and Dutch had L’s during the end of it’s lifetime so I figure it’ll get between
4 and 6 regular 9P’s
OR
4 9L’s

Also had a weird bomb rail that had rocket launchers IN the rail. Funky. So bombs and rockets on centre hardpoint at the same time.
Maybe that addition caused the delay? Dunno.

6?

where?

wtf. I want it.
did it have weaponry?

the US always stop foreign sales of superior vehicles

just look at how Belgium and the Netherlands bought F-35s instead of EF and Rafale

I wish we stayed with European aircraft.
Having said that…The F-35 is super cool, and insanely powerful.
We got them for pretty much Gripen prices since we got onboard early.

Or japans indigenous fighter before the F-2

it was plannwd to get AiM-9F (B FGW.2 in game) and a Gun iirc

basically what a Starfighter had

but it wasn’t armed because the thing got cancelled and sadly German Air developments only get armed in the very last second

But now USA see everything you do with their plane (if you stick a new tech to their plane they gonna have access to it), you need each day a new code from them to starting the plane, and the day you don’t agree with them, it’s just a bunch of non-flying metal in the hangar.

The former was combat capable, and the latter was planned to be.

Neither were ever planned to be combat capable.

They are not in the same situation.

If the EAP has been accepted it would have been combat capable…

it was the first supersonic vtol despite gaijin claiming it to be the yak141.

Still should be ingame. But till now i couldn’t find drawings where the weapons would be

The EAP was a tech demo, and absolutely nothing else. It was never under any circumstances planned for service.
