Yes, the one that was put into German trials in later years.
The one where its armor wasn’t removed to compete against the XM-1’s mobility.
The F111C isn’t a unique commonwealth vehicle.

The Leopard 2AV we have in game is the one built for US trials.
A-10C should be foldered with the A-10a, in my opinion
Did not US use the F-111C? No.
Is it a unique modification? Yes.
Is it an Australian vehicle? Yes.
So it’s a unique Australian vehicle. Wanna know where those go? The British tech tree, again, I’m not the biggest fan of it going there but that’s where it is so Womp Womp.

Aussie Abrams and Canadian Leopards are unique modifications, yet they were not added to the UK tree.

The M1A1 AIM was produced in the us to be shipped to Australia, if it had been built in Australia it probably would have been in the UK TT
Actually, yes they were. It was proven a while back in a documentary, I think about Red Flag.
Any and all victories against the US’s F-15s and especially the F-22 are considered to be fake since the exercise’s designers purposefully put the American aircraft in those positions.
The F-15 has never lost in air-to-air combat. Plain and simple.
Was the F111C not built in the US?

I believe it was modified by the UK after they got them so that’s probably why (I’m not as well versed on the f-111)
Neither has the Sea harrier FRS1. It has never lost in Air to air combat.
And those dogfights vs the Sea Harrier werent at Red Flag…
“Merica” doesnt always win and other nations produce equal or better equipment.
The F-15A and F-5E got their asses handed to them on a platter. (an F-16 too)
That fact of the matter is Canada and Australia go wherever Gaijin feels like it.
“Tech rules” no longer exists.
And as Smin pointed out the F-111K was a popular request(along with Australia having a proper home in the UK) but do to it being incomplete Gaijin compromised with the RAAF F-111C.
Remember when a tiny (Sweedish, I think) sub snuck up on a Nimitz class during wargames?
Yep, that was hilarious. Because it was also quite a “budget” sub compared to most nations iirc
lol, its engine was so quiet it couldn’t be detected by sonar

It’s not a unique mod, it’s a reskin and Canadian Leo was, ya know, a German vehicle. Try again.
Incorrect. It was an export model.
Neither Canadian Leo was a reskin.
The 2A4M CAN was only used by Canada(why German mains wanted it) hence the “CAN” part as it was custom ordered, and the C2 part of the C2(Mexas) was domestically done modification from the C1s.

I’m not saying the other nations don’t produce equal or better equipment. I’m also not saying the USA has a monopoly on good equipment.
I’m saying that the other nations don’t produce equal or better pilots. Or have equal training.
You’re right about one thing though: The exercise I referenced was not Red Flag, it was at the Americans’ other big multinational training exercise, Gunsmoke.
Sometimes the Americans set themselves up to fail, which serves as a booster for their allies’ morale but it’s also to see whether their own forces can turn a disadvantageous situation into an advantageous one.
Just because you were able to get into an advantageous position in an exercise, doesn’t mean you would be able to do so in the real world.
That’s actually a similar situation to the F-15s and F-22 I mentioned earlier.

The F-15s and F-22 remain undefeated, as does the USS Nimitz.
