The problem with the Kai is the radar. It’s still kind of a mystery what version of APG-66 it is. It’s just called APG-66J but never specified what version. Right now in game it is a bareboned early F-16A radar so no fox 3 capabilities.

You’re probably right, but…
AV-8B
USA doesn’t have it yet Italy and GBR do.

Praying for the Hawk, but I don’t think that will be the new addition for Britain

Excuse me, but that’s Harrier Gr.7 to you, sir
Thats a less significant plane tho the F15 is favourite for many aircraft enjoyers
Both Harrier IIs.

Yeah, that’s also an issue. I’ve heard it’s been upgraded to handle Fox-3s, but I have no proof of this other than rumors. I’ve also never seen an EJ-Kai carrying Fox-3s. Though they usually didn’t even carry Sparrows on them either and we know it can carry those.

Okay, any credibility you might have had is gone, please take your soviet bias else where.

The realist in me wants to say:
- We get nothing at all
- We get Sea Harrier FA.2 which gets dunked on
- We get Tornado (Sustainment Programme) which gets somewhat less but still dunked on.
The optimist in me wants to say:
- Gaijin have said Commonwealth will fill the gaps for nations who cant fill them domestically
- We get Canadian CF-18 as an analogue to F-16C
- We get BAe Hawk as a weird subsonic, turn fighting AMRAAM slinger
- We get a SAAF Gripen
- We get an obscure jet noone’s heard of

Spoiler
maybe dont play a country that had to stop developing aircraft
If I was to bet a fiver on it, I’d bet the SAAF Gripen
Then the SHar as an early platform for AMRAAMS
Didn’t mean to reply to you sorry
Gr9 didn’t have AMRAAM, no radar. sea Harrier FA2 is our best bet for early AMRAAM

At the time it was added, Harrier GR.7/Harrier II AV-8B would’ve been the only modern thermal imager, CAS platform with guided missiles for USA. It was a pivotal aircraft and I think still is. It caused massive outcries
