What about F111K?

That has been soft-denied in the past, hasn’t it?
But do Americans need another F-111? IIRC Brits don’t have heavy duty bomber as of now
Hard denied

The US didn’t need the AIM and the Germans didn’t need the Canadian Leopards either.
Britain does have heavy duty bombers, the Tornado and the Buccaneers.
In that case, why didn’t GB receive the Leopard 2A4M CAN or M1A1 AIM? I think the GB TT could really benefit from either of them

The only placement rules for Canada and Australia is that there is no rules.
As of right now it equally if not more likely for the Avro Arrow to end up in the USSR tree then any others. Or for them to put their stuff in the Chinese trees.
Man, this thing again

Because we don’t need them

That was because the Gr.1 filled a similar role wasn’t it?
Not sure what it means exactly but it does mention the AIM-120 so that’s gotta count for something
Test platforms and testbeds implies that these missiles might’ve been not in the standard configuration due to nature of the tests performed. Document also doesnt specify the variant of the missile
F-14D uses digital databus (STD-1553B) which incorporates AIM-120 software for launchers (underbelly slots) and the missiles themselves

Hmm that’s a good question.
We now know for certain we’re not getting the Hornet this update, so I think it must come in the next one.
So unless the F-14D is coming this update (that’d be amazing), or unless Gaijin wants to give the US two top tier fighters at once in the next update, I doubt the F-14D is coming before the Hornet
will have their explosive
warheads removed and their tracking
and guidance systems replaced with
a smaller, more lightweight guidance
system. The missiles will also be heavily
instrumented to obtain and transmit test
data from experiments in such areas as
thermal protection materials, scramjet
propulsion, guidance & control, boundary layer transition and aerodynamics at
hypersonic speeds.
the us navy own documents estimate constantly which is funny
