Yeah… But welcome to Britain for the next year+ then.
Problem is, Europe is jsut too good at making aircraft and our tech is too advanced.
CF-18 would be good and not too different from F-16C honestly, beyond AMRAAM payload.
Gripen C would be great.
Something like that
Will it be British?

F-18 could be fine, though does mean another top tier jet for US as well.
Gripen is slower I think, but where it matters, is about equal to the Typhoon though.
Sucks for you that britain only has the JAS 39D, trainer version with 2 seats, automaticaly worse air performance, you guys literaly need to pray /hope that you get an south african aircraft
funny, sounds about the average

My concern is “top tier” doesnt necessarily mean it can fight in A2A. We could get a top tier A2G jet like the Tornado Gr4 or Harrier Gr9
Yeah I was referencing the SAAF Gripen
exactly this, if it is british they automaticaly get the L card
You get Sea Harrier FA.2e
(Its just sea harrier but slightly different and no amraams)
if Typhoon is off the table for the next, I assume, year+. Does this mean F-15, Su-27, Mig-31, J-10 etc etc. Are alll also off the table for the same length of time?

Yep
Now that wouldnt surprise me, but if it had Blue Vixen, at 11.0 that would be awesome for SB
i mean recent year air pretty much did giant leaps in the tech tree, maybe they wanna focus on ground a bit more for the coming one.
Well, now “top tier” is 12.3, which to me indicates a higher performance multi role of some sort. F/A-18 fits the bill quite nicely but that might just be my hopium.
Prehaps, though still sucks for the non-12.3 nations and especially the non-12 nations
Well, guess the Gripen will be in the same boat as Israels Netz then, being limited to IR missiles due to never having used SARH missiles. And even then, I literally cannot fathom how someone would think the early Typhoons would be too advanced while the Gripen would be completely fine

Yeah, Prehaps, but anything with Brimstone is going to be 12.3+
It could be a Gripen variant for South Africa or something.
if it was SAAF Gripen, it would have to have placeholder weapons, SAAF only used IRIS-T or A-Darter on their Gripens.
But considering we got Tornado Gr1 in the same update as Mig-29s and F-16s as our “top tier” im not entirely dismisisng the possiblity that our next “Top tier” jet wont be a 11.7-12.0 ground attacker.
