i mean, what else are they going to add
They already got the Late Cold War light fighters, the ones that prioritized Point Defense or Agility
Now they probably will add the “heavy” ones, the Eagle and the Flanker
It 's model had actually been in the CDK earlier, during the 2021 2.7.0.55 leak. Along w/ the Type 10 and the Leclerc SXXI.
Realistic thinking aside, I hope they add MAW next update, because the AIM-9M’s smokeless motor is absolutely annoying in Top Tier Air Sim
(Oh right! They don’t care about Air Sim!)

LCAs and Advanced Trainers would be a logical addition, but those wouldnt generate the amount of hype that F-15s, F/A-18s and Su-27s would
F-18, maybe?
The big speculation will be: what’s this new top tier jet for Britian?
Something capable of fighting toe to toe with MiG-29SMT, MiG-29As, F-16s, F-14s…
I don’t think Sea Harrier FA.2 matches this description. It’s a brick airframe. Its only redeaming quality would be AMRAAM.
My bets would probably be on CF-18 as its a pretty good analogue for F-16 and F-14 performance wise. Armament doesn’t matter, as thats how Gaijin handles balance.
Yeah it would probably go along the F-15, considering they have similar capabilities iirc
Doubt it. Over half the games nations still lack any modern fighter
Where can i buy this model set man? Does it include mini pilots?
Poor little Hawk 200 sitting in the corner with its downsized F-16 radar and skyflashes
F-15 would help Japan and Israel, but I doubt we’ll see that.
F/A-18 would be essentially a less dogfight focussed F-16, That’s heavier but with more payload. Considering we have F-16C Blk 52 in game right now, I don’t think giving F-18s to minor nations would be unwise. It would MASSIVELY help everyone
They even got the mechanics as components of the aircraft

Hawk 200 would be cool, for sure! But…it’s a subsonic.
UK needs a supersonic

This is a game about 10-12 years old, even the zoom is not done properly. (flying into falling). When you hit the ground, the trees are as big as 1-2 km high. Ground targets have changed slightly, the gameplay is the same as it was 10-12 years ago. capture the zone or destroy the base and ground vehicles. There is nothing extra. Most rp and sl is killing enemies. The tank is even poorer. There were bot tanks and AAAs, but they are gone. Possibly shooting down a UAV plus rp. zone reservation and nothing but each other’s desolation. Vehicles have a lot of potential. Many times I don’t feel, for example, that the tank has armor, even though it’s written there, physics doesn’t work, and I could go on and on. ECM is just a small segment of the whole game that is missing. Anyway, I mentioned that I went through an allied helicopter with a tank without him physically detecting it. When I shot him with a machine gun, he bounced off him, but when I went at him, it was as if he wasn’t even there.

F/A-18 would be the a mix of the F-15’s combat capabilities, and the F-16’s ground attack capabilities
Pretty sure they’ll folder the F-15E into the F-15C
F-15E shouldn’t go to F-4 line
F-15E should go to F-105 line but before it should be some variant of air force 'Vark (111D or 111F) and F-15E prototype (F-15B conversion)
It was a Tetris challenge im 2019

F-16 was made to be a lightweight, supersonic dogfighter capable of 9G pulls. It can do BVR using the AMRAAM, and HMCS for high off boresight missiles
Its downside is that fuel is eaten quick and it’s unable to carry much armament.
The F/A-18 is heavier, owing to it being a naval aircraft. Thick, strengthened landing gear, foldable wings, dual engine. It’s a less powerful dogfighter for sure, but still features the HMCS and can carry more weapons, though at the cost of agility.
It’d be a perfect trade honestly and be a great fit for the current game. I could easily see it being added right now, with no problem. Yes its modern, but not F-15 levels of Air Dominance. The F-18 would be a good fit for nations like UK who need a multirole, supersonic aircraft that can go and fight 29As and SMTs.
Yeah.
We need a mix of Air RB controls, and some perks of AIR Sim
New objectives, like shoot down the AWACS aircraft
Wait… AWACS.
AWACS, Datalink capabilities, ECM, GCI
Those are some things we need before we step into Flanker and Eagle territory

ima do a quick horrible drawing to try to predict where the F-15 and the F/A-18 will be placed.
hold on
(yeah forget about it, ima eat lunch.)
