This would be an amazing premium jet for Italy or just a tech tree for Italy right now it’s best rank 6 and 5 jets are a over tiered yak 23 and a good g91 but 8.7 is just a power creep so there’s never down tiers

wihtout that aa missile its not worth to be added

Why Italy?!?

It’s still missing a good amount of Hungarian aircraft it would hold off Italy for a very long time at rank 6 also because Italy has a Latin American country as a premium but also I don’t really feel under powered in britian it feels pretty good

Well the AMX was a joint development of the Brazilian and Italian aircraft industry, that’s a completely different situation I find.

The truth is that this Chilean Hawker Hunter would be perfect in Israel due to the issue of the Shafrir II missiles and the link between the 2 countries. Regarding the BR, this should be 9.7 since it has decent air-to-air missiles, quite a few countermeasures and even a RWR

Idk Israel feels too op currently I stomp almost everything most of the time in all my idf jets

I have seen a reasonable argument for Chile to become a sub-TT of Israel. So if that were to happen, then yes, it could. If not. Then the only reasonable placement is Britain as the Hawker Hunter was made by Britian.

We could do with a Hawker Hunter with CMs. Chile, Oman or Singapore variants are the only ones left with that capability I think. With Singapore likely becoming a sub-TT for Japan, the number of options left for Britain is going down.

But I would concur with your BR placement or at least it should be about equal to the Hunter F58. Which I could see going to 10.0, but for now is 9.7

I have a question, is the cover missing on this SNEB rocket launcher or is the launcher like that? because I have seen some photos where the launcher is different, here I left a couple of photos of the launchers that I am talking about in some Chilean Hawker Hunter

This is just an older SNEB launcher without it’s front and rear covers that eject for firing. For reference you can find this 19 rocket launcher on aircraft like the Mystere IVA or even the French Corsair

Yesterday while I was watching a live on YouTube of retired Chilean military personnel, they shared some interesting photos of the Hawker Hunter:

Some photos carrying the Shafrir II and a rather difficult to obtain photo where they carry many SURA P3 rockets, If I’m not mistaken, there are 24.

and a photo where you can see the telemetric radar:
