Another apex style update where there are both the F-15A and C? With the A being more CAS oriented while the C is more A2A oriented? With the F-15 for Israel and Japan as well?
I know the former is probably BS, but I’m just throwing things out there.
I don’t want a shell for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the increased penetration characteristics~
I just want spikes for my puma
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true~
All I want for Christmas is Spiiiiikeess, yeah~!
Idk who prefers it, but its objectively worse in terms of pen and velocity.
(and iirc, sweden didnt have it in the beggining, they played with DM33 for some time)
I waited for the same vehicles.
They cannnot have anything because they did not have anything at that time.
I’m ambivalent regarding Mirage 4000 as well but at least it was intended for service.
Br compression is one thing but prototypes where actual service vehicles existed slighty before or after is just painful.
Since I love Eurofighter I want it to be added true to form and highly competitive.
DA2 early would be a more maneuverable slightly better armed Tornado ADV which would quickly show by poor performance that it’s nothing but a sketchy interim solution.
Would also ruin the hype for me to some extent.
To me eyes it was more than a prototype but a pre-prod plane.
Yes, only one was build, but it made more than 300+ flights, was totally ready, and even served as test-bed for the Rafale’s stuff at the end of it’s sad short life.
It was not a plane that was stopped because bad or other, but simply because it didn’t take off in the markets. If it had found a buyer, it would have been mass-produced.
But it was used to help/conceptualize the creation of the Rafale, so I’m glad it existed.
That way, the other prototype is subject to be implemented as a new vehicle in the future, giving U.K another chance to get another advanced Challenger variant for the lineup!
