Italy rented F16s entirely to have something AMRAAM capable instead of upgrading the ADV whilst they waited for the Typhoon.
So should have Aim-9Li and AMRAAM.
So, it’s not as fake as the F16AJ, but it’s a pretty poor representation of it
You lot can bloody wait.
Sweden should not be hit with another Gripen C situation.
Italy doesn’t need the Gripen E because it already has the Eurofighter
I personally think it should not get it because sub tree copy paste vehicles just delude the tech trees and in this case would make grinding Sweden redundant because there would be nothing special in the Swedish tech tree.
Look at it like this:
Why would anyone want to grind Sweden to just get the Gripen E, if you could as well grind Italy to get both the Gripen E and the Eurofighter.

The Hungarian subtree should get the MS20 Block 2 upgrade as the final end-of-the-line fighter. IRIS-T with Meteor.
I fully agree in this view, we need to keep some uniqeness in respective nation otherwise it destroys the purpose of grinding or choosing a specific nation. I hope the Gripen E will be unique to Sweden but i think we all know that wont happen, just my wishfull thinking :)
so its just missing armament rather than a f16 variant that was only proposed
Gaijin has already decided on giving planes to whoever had them irl
There are negotiations between Hungary and Saab about the Gripen E but in principle they chose to renew the leasing contracts for the Gripen C.
All that’s left is to hope that Hungary buys or rents the Gripen E

Yes, they wanted to modify them which broke their deal

As guy above stated yes, but if we’re talking about Italy they already are still getting 2a8it. But that might not be for long because it seems every country has been dropping their 2a8 deals

Additionally IRL Italy never used aim7m on the f16
Honestly im just waiting to see the ****storm that will be gaijin adding the 2A8 to other nations, its bound to happen. Though im even more interested in the Ariete getting their correct armor.

I have given up hope on ariete getting actual armor, after the a200c and just so much incredibly clownish mistreatment of Italy TT, I’ve moved to Italy naval.
I honestly think devs are just trying to clown on us

I have no idea
That was Italy. Hungary never wanted to buy 2A8s. Hungary bought the 2A7HU.
Italy wanted to modify and build their own tech into the 2A8 but KNDS refused it, so now Italy is in the KF51 Panther project.

Fingers crossed they finish the A200C next major, but I wonder what they will actually do for it
No chance italy should get gripen e . It already have typhoon, gripen c , mig29 next you will ask f15 , f16 then f22
👀 does he know
