Also opens the door for ASMs to actually come to more jets other than just the MFG. I’d rather enjoy having them on a number of aircraft for SB

Jets like Tornado IDS could become useful
Yeah, they would, Also sea eagles could come to things like the Sea Harrier as well, but also the Buc, maybe Sea-Vixen and a few others. Would be an interesting dynamic to be added to oldies but goodies
yup
Tragically they always have been. The assets have been in the files for a long time.
Though, I think the game is nearing the point where they are both possible and potentially needed
Fort Victoria class oiler. Interestingly it originally was supposed to have SAMs equipped.

Considering the Audacious-class carrier and the Sea Harrier CAP close by, a Royal Navy ship does make sense
what’s a replenishment oiler?
A ship designed to resupply warships at sea with oil (and sometimes other dry goods).
Was that why they deleted all taiwanese flags from the statcards for a while and gave all the ROC vehicles a PRC flag on the statcard?

Refuels other warships at sea. If you’ve ever heard of USS Cyclops, which went missing in the Bermuda Triangle, it 's similar to that.

I find that hard to believe given your commentary in the past and your stance on both aircraft, but I’ll take your word for it.
That doesn’t check out at all. The F-2 was submitted to the devs a full year before the F-15A/J (granted that was a kind of special suggestion event but the EJ Kai was on there too and it’s here). On top of that, the XF-2A was submitted to the devs twice on the old and new forums (and the F-15A/J as not been). Let’s also not forget the F-2A early suggestion that just got passed to the devs.
So not only was the F-2 airframe been looked at before the F-15, but multiple variants have been passed to the devs over time. The F-15J also could be split into multiple variants and suggestions have been made as such but have not yet been passed.
Yes, “at this time” which would be about 7 months and a couple major updates ago. They mentioned the actual production F-2 would come in a “few major updates”, which leaves the XF-2A as something that either comes before the F-2 or relegated to an event vehicle after the production F-2 arrives. Depending on your definition of few, the next update or the update after would be fair game (and of course standard disclaimer of everything is subject to change).
I want to see the F-15J in the game too, but I want to at least back it up with supporting evidence first. So far we have one suggestion post in the old forums that has been passed and an open post in the new forums that has not. Meanwhile the F-2 and XF-2 have a combined 4 submissions, 2 from old and 2 from new and the production F-2 itself has been given a rough (and loose) estimation of when it could show up.
they arent made by gaijin, pandramodo made them(afaik)
This is a flawed logic imo, there 's hardly any evidence that the " Passed to the Devs " series is related to the development cycle of new vehicles. It 's a gauge of player interest, but not much deeper than that.
I agree towards the effect of suggestions passed to the developers doesn’t mean the vehicle is coming soon. Heck it’s not even required to pass something to the devs to see it in-game. The F-16AJ was denied, if I remember correctly, when it was suggested, yet here we are.
I only bring it up because they were using passed suggestions as evidence for the F-15J supposedly being worked on earlier than the X/F-2 and if passed suggestions had merit, then it would actually be hurting their case.

I wasn’t using passed to devs as evidence, I was using it to substantiate other points.
F-15J’s BR is here, 12.3.
F-16 Block 60 & F-2’s BRs aren’t here yet.
F-15J[C] can be added to 3 tech trees & would’ve been given priority on that alone.
As I said previously, I want F-2 more than most. F-15J being added means we’re one step closer to F-2.
And it’s well known that the final XF-2A prototypes had the AESA radar.
