I’d be fine with nations like britain getting less top tier stuf
IF gaijin would instead add some NEW lower tier aircraft for them instead
AIM-9Gs seemingly were only tested.
They also wont be added for obvious balance considerations with the BR and position of the aircraft, given its flight performance.

But at the same time leaving Britain in the dust as to limit us from having a good main fighter for half a decade
Britian needs top tier stuff the most though.

Why? Aim-9gs at 6.0 seem completely balanced
They would struggle to get locks against props anyway surely

if 10.0 can have aim 9ls, 6.0 can have aim 9gs surely
Hey @Smin1080p, is there any possibility of F-111 going to UK given the evidence that UK had them partially built and a whole host of plans for them before being canned, just like YAK-141?
They also purchased them, albeit never assembled

Where’s your developer tag? I recognise that balancing genius anywhere.

On top of that we had our own little variant called the K
I mean, aussie F-111 is a thing too, but I’d much rather get a V-Bomber

The scrapped F-111K project is not currently planned. Britain has the Tornados and other aircraft possible in the future.

So what you are saying is the F-111 should be 11.0/11.3?
V-Bomber would require a massive workload increase that isn’t reasonable to expect from this update. The F-111K programme was just regular Aardvark and the current model could be used with a new texture for UK and modified armament
The british one would TBF it is a far more upgraded variant over the A

But the US has the F-16, F-14 ect so like why is the US and Japan getting this treatment.
While the UK is stuck with old airframes with just updates armament
AIM-9E to F-111?
Britain has its own aircraft for the role (F-111) and others possible to add in the future.
As for fighters, the F-111K is not and would not be a top tier fighter anyway that other aircraft like the Tornado F.3 don’t already do.
We have already said Britain will receive a new top tier jet in the future.

Because european and japanese airframes dont raise hype, unlike F-16s, F-14s, MiG-29s and the unavoidable F-15s, F/A-18s and Su-27s
Almost like that’s how it was IRL until the Typhoon came along if fighters are what you are referring to.
“The other major design change from the F-111A was in its avionics, with the design calling for the Mark II package developed for the F-111D version, which featured a new inertial navigation and attack system, incorporating the Rockwell International AN/APQ-130 attack radar, an IBM on-board computer, the Marconi AN/APN-189 doppler navigation radar and the Sperry Corporation AN/APQ-128 terrain following radar”

In ways that wouldn’t really effect gameplay
