The FA-50PL variant from Poland could fill the gap that Germany has in 10.0 area for CAS.

This would be great if they did a trainer plane update, like having all of them come in one update with the Italian Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master, the US’s Cessna A-37 Dragonfly (AKA the Super Tweet), or Germany’s and France’s Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet.

+1 beautiful aircraft
It doesn’t have laser or gps guided bombs?
One day it will, but atm there have been some issues with the AIM-120s getting integrated. When it came time for the FA-50PL to begin integration it was revealed that the contract for their block 20s only included feasibility studies for AMRAAM integration and not the actual integration.
It seems like the AMRAAM integration on the block 20 was only a study on the Korean side and therefore they didn’t reach out to the American side to even get approval for integration. Now they are looking at one of the block 20 customers to bankroll the actual integration and no one wants to be the one to pay it. The block 20s that the Philippines are buying seem to not even mention AMRAAM integration too.
We are going to have to wait until someone caves and pays for it so that they can be integrated.

I would love to get this with 2x AGMs and 6xGBUs, same as the AV-8b NA, the br would be great at 11.3/11.7 grb for the lineup but im not sure that would happen
Any chance this gets the triple rack for the AGM-65Ds like the OCU?
+1 would be a good addition

Isn’t this just an M197?
Could you be kind enough to post the proof here, just so that it can be easily accessed? Anyways have the RTA fitted the KGGB Glide bombs that they recently received into their T-50THs or not yet? Would be a good weapon to keep an eye out for

So, there is this one, the Indonesian one and soon the Malaysian one, which one should be the TT, which one the premium and which one the squadron?
Also, suggestion for the other 2 when?
I will make a suggestion for the Malaysian Block 20M once its a thing.

I made this rough weapon loadout schematic using photos I found online.
To be honest, Gaijin isn’t shy about giving an aircraft weapons it could potentially carry even if that specific country never used them. However, since there are currently 3 versions of the T/FA-50 that could be added to the Japan tech tree (T-50i, T-50TH, FA-50M), I tried sticking to historical loadouts as much as possible to make each one feel unique.
Otherwise, if Gaijin just gives them all their “potential” loadouts, they’ll end up being virtually identical and Gaijin would only need to add one plane.
"Potential" loadouts if Gaijin only add 1 plane.
If all 3 versions are added: T-50TH version

AIM-9L or M(?)

Based on this, T-50TH can be equipped with AGM-65, JDAM, Mk-82, LAU-3 FFAR, AIM-9
Strangely it says T-50TH uses F404-GE-402 instead of 102
Tbh, I’ve yet to find any pic of T-50TH using any Triple rack ejection or LAU-3 for FFAR.
There’s news of Sniper targeting pod integration, but I can’t find the pic for what it’ll look like. So I put it on the center pylon.
KGGB is rumored too, but I add it anyway to make it more unique.
Correct me if I’m wrong, or there is more photo of T-50TH :)
