Hawk 200 Technical Discussion The Fighting Hawk

Is it really missing stuff ?

Im grinding my butt off for it cause I like how it flies rn as it is

4 x 9L is why it’s 10.7

Yup, it could really use that and the 25mm

The RDA could use some guns yeah.

Oh, I meant the regular Hawk 200. Guns for RDA is under investigation I believe

Wait it’s supposed to be 25mm or 30s ?

IIRC it was advertised as being able to carry either of them. So as long as the model we have in game is pre 1999 then 25mm ADEN should be possible.

Oh I see, so we could get a mix up, that would be sweet
Imagine we could choose?

9Ls just aren’t that good any more :shrug:
You could flare them by throwing a microwave ready meal out the window. If all 9.0s had flares I could see the Hawk 200 at 10.0. As it stands the Hawk 200 flies like an 8.3 but with missiles that make it an 10.7.

I’d pay money for the 25s ngl, the aden 30 is so mid, keep just getting hits while a 20/23mm ruins the Hawk cause it’s so small

It flies like an 8.3? xD no it doesn’t man, I’ve test flown it extensively with and without loads, well as much as I can take with it.

It flies more like the super etendard, if you removed the acceleration but gave it far better retention and turning circles.

9Ls are perfectly good ?
the only planes lower with 9L or R60M which are dog water in comparisson are A10 and Su25.

the AIm9L on it is a huge boon

Oh, so it wasn’t just me, it really does fly kind of weird for a light, highly maneuverable attack aircraft. I expected it to be something like the Alpha Jet.

I don’t have the source on hand rn but I’ve heard that the alpha jet is overperforming in some areas, so it may not be the best aircraft to compare with

so nothing like the super etendard? XD

Is the acceleration true to life?

I know it’s a trainer so what do we expect but just curious if we can get a buff

That STR buff would make it a monster at like 9.0 with 4 9Bs and the nose 25s

What about the AMX? In theory the Hawk should fly better.

Somebody said they were getting into contact with some higher-ups about the gunpod matter, what’s the verdict on that?

She’s might suck in ARB, but in GRB as CAS she’s a beaut. The B’s are kinda annoying to get locks with, but otherwise very solid CAS

Absolutely! Those beautiful Mavs are my main motivation to grind Hawk right now, and hopefully most of the issues have been resolved by the time I unlock it

What is the point of the 11.3 one? it seems redundant for both air and ground rb, could it at least get agm-65D or some more potent air to ground weapons?

i mean it doesn’t really need a point? people have been asking for stuff like the hawk for a while, the people who like the RDA can use it, and its folded so its not really getting in the way if you aren’t interested
