meant f, point stands
USA is likely getting F-111F this update, and Britain will be getting their Australian jet that’s purely filler.
All I am saying is you shouldn’t be worried about Aardvarks for America.
USA operated the best F-111s and they’ll get the best F-111s, so it shouldn’t matter where the Australian F-111 goes.
I hope not, J10 is horrible, no PL12 + 0 CAS I will kill myself if they give us first gen J10s J10 at least although some leaks said both, I guess copy + paste and add different missiles/BR isn’t too difficult.
I know basically nothing about chinese jets. But Im just guessing they arent adding the version that allegedly bested a Tranche 3 Typhoon this update. If they do. I call BS on why Typhoon has been so heavily delayed :P
They are not adding that version, that sounds like a version that isn’t even listed on the wiki currently.
Not the J10C the J10A, J10 is more like a prototype that was not mass produced and was earlier than the main block of ARH PL12s so probably only had PL11 + PL8 which makes it a 12.3 max.

Still not a bad addition as a bit of a filler
Yeah I hope they give us both so we can have a techtree shuffle and separate J7s with J8s and J11s so that I don’t have to grind through J11s for J10 :D.

Haha. nope, must grind through them all :P
(though the Spade bonuses for researching new vehicles is pretty decent)
What 5 rank 8 planes in a line? LOL I need F16 first.
Yep :P
Just have every single rank 8 in one line and then make the J-10A Rank 9 for good measure :P
what I am PRAYING for from the bottom of my heart… is that the 2nd J-10 is also true. So that we can have the lines go (from left to right) like this.
Rank 8
F-16A MLU → Future Taiwan air
J-10 → J-10A → Future PLAAF Multirole Jets
J-8F → J-11 → J-11A → Future PLAAF Air Superiority Jets
JH-7A → Future PLAAF Strike Jets
Edit: the reason why is because there’s at least 2 more J-11s, 2 more J-10s, 2 J-15s, the J-16. Putting all those planes in 1 column, especially with how different they are in play style is just a bad idea.
Edit 2: For those curious, the base J-10 would have a moderately worse FM depending on how early of a prototype they go with. As well as PL-8s and PL-11s instead of PL-12s
Edit 3: PL-11s aka Chinese ASPIDE

I wonder if what we saw in the trailer part with the A-10C was the Raytheon Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting (HMIT) system integrated into the Thunderbolts back in 2010.
AIM-9Ms or maybe even the AIM-9X ( as a test balancing platform like how the Su-25BM was first aircraft added with R-73s) with some form of HMD mode combined with the A-10’s good low-speed maneuverability will be super nice.
Not a hunter but the Swiss designed P-16, and it is an F-111C, clearly indicated when you look up the tail number that referrers to the specific airframe in service with the RAAF.
Can’t wait for the J-10A, Jeff-17 and Antelope to be modeled egregiously wrong and take years of stupidly accurate bug reports to fix :D :D :D

Aim-9X is highly unlikely. Even on something weak like the A-10. If it does have Aim-9X, be prepared for them to be like 12.7+
Aim-9M is far more likely at 11.7-12.0
US is receiving the T1E1 (90mm), a new heavy tank for rank III.
honestly top tier would be unplayable if we see missiles like that.
You do get that pending the specific configuration of the F-111C that gets added, it leaves ordnance like the ALE-40 / -47, AIM-132, AGM-142, JDAM, AGM-84, a Modern RWR and more that the F-111F doesn’t have a direct counterpart for right?
The best the F-111F has is the GBU-15 / AGM-130 & AGM-65D / -65G
i never said australia didnt use themt though. i only stated that the F111C was designed and built in America upon the Australian governments request. And it is based off the regular F111 which is undoubtedly an American jet. which is why i called it a modified american jet.
Also, it IS an australian abrams because it has the DU alternative armor specifically for export.
