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

maybe dont play a country that had to stop developing aircraft

9880

If I was to bet a fiver on it, I’d bet the SAAF Gripen

Then the SHar as an early platform for AMRAAMS

9881

popcorn

9882

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

9886

Though Gr9A with all its important bells and whistles could be good fun

My #1 recommendation to any minor nation players complaining about not having a good fighter. Grind out either russia or usa this ensures you will always have something to play if the minor nation you play doesnt have anything decent

This is coming from someone who grinded out the mig 29 out of rage alone

9888

Yet…it’s a Harrier 1 airframe…
I have insanely low expectations from it tbh

9889

My hope is it having a radar that outclasses everything for the next year or so. But yeah, still going to be a standoff truck. But might be able to defend itself in a close in fight

I might expect R-60M stock & gajin consider R-73 replacement R-60 but removed R-27ER on MiG-29 (9-13) and increased to 12.3 BR, and Yak-141 up to 12.3 BR because could add R-73

But F-16A Block 15 ADF (Air National Guard) armed AIM-120A and F-16A Block 15 ADF (Aeronautica Militare) fired AIM-120B & AIM-120C ?

Great hint, what if I don’t like F-16/14s or MiG-29s tho?

9893

Multi quoting is broken at the moment

9894
