it was a proposed variant by the US to get the UK to buy the F117, similar to the AJ (might actually be even more modified with British avionics and British engines) it would also give britian a stealth aircraft before the F35

I love how the counter argument was a fighter for the US as if they aren’t lacking.
They never addressed the stealth issue which we are really lacking
I don’t think these are rules, more like excuses. There is only one rule BVV_d is always right)

And with significantly superior flight performance. Weaponry is only one part of the equation.

I can’t find anything about this.
All I’m finding is “they were offered and said no”
Huh? The F-15E has significantly more armaments than the Tornado ASS would ever provide, we have more than enough reasons to believe it has the ability to take up to 6 Maverick Ds or 2 Maverick Gs and also take underbelly GBUs, while retaining up to 8 air to air missiles. If anything it mixes the capabilities of the F-16C and F-15C we have in game.
Kinda shows how out of touch some of your takes can be.

Amazing, even better. Totally won’t be the best CAS of next update.
it’ll be the best multirole, but I think the GR4 will have it beat for PURE CAS if it does get Brimstones
Which it must likely won’t I mean when have us Brits had anything good ?
Pure CAS is nothing when ur FM is piss poor and has higher chances of getting smited by Anti Air or even other jets, but that’s probably just me

GR7, Gripen C, Tornado F3 (in its current state)
Also “it most likely wont” the alternative is ALARMs which I don’t see showing up. But it literally has no reason to be added without its main distinguishing weapon. Remember Britain got the first Maverick + TPOD combo
I mean with Brimstones you’re gonna be out of AA range
Apparently worse than the Swedish C but yet the US think it’s not only par but better since and we don’t need the better Hornest lol
Which they asked of the Brazilian E kek
YF-16 is no more fantasy than Ho-229.
F-2 is too powerful.
And yeah, Gaijin should’ve been working on Thailand for F-16A OCU earlier.

F-15E cannot inherently carry AGM-65s, later ones can as proven by this image:
But yes, accuse us of being out of touch.

It is not comparable to the AJ at all.
Every other tree had an F-16/jas39/mig-29 or aircraft.
The UK isn’t being “left out” by not getting an F-117

When it comes to stealth yes we are
Plus your comparing fighter to bombers is hilarious
It would be an F-16 with slightly better flight performance, the ability to carry eight missiles, and an AESA radar that would make no real difference due to AAM-4s not having an AESA seeker. It would be barely better than the F-15C.

And what would make you think Gaijin wouldn’t just give them the capabilities anyway? Have you seen the J-10A (Early)? Gaijin calls it “Early” yet it has the ability to use guided bombs despite the engine type proving that it is of the “earlier” production vehicle.
