Personally, I think F-15E early from the desert storm and equipped 1st gen laser designator pods (AN/AAQ & AN/AAQ-13) but IR & medium-range Air-to-Air Missile like F-15A, P&W F100-PW-220 engine, Air-to-Ground armament not modern and integrated AIM-9X & Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) in late 2010
Just did a quick search and yeah, Canada actually just got a new upgraded Hornet which we’re going to be using until the CF-35A fighters arrive in the early 30s.
Here’s 2 articles covering it:
We are. The “CF-35s” are supposed to arrive in 2026. But we’ve also sent a few of the CF-188 in for another upgrade to have them serve along side the F-35s for a bit.
ehhhhhhh it really depends tbh, yeah if they give the 3TD a 5 second reload it would actually be worth playing, it still would have one of the worst mobility of any MBT at top tier which again I feel like they shouldn’t have nerfed the tank based on a single comment about the production variant not the 2018 TD
yeah, but would be marginally better then the ADATS we already have, it would be funny for gaijin to make india actually worth anything to the british tree by giving us a good top tier SAM because if they cant do that then well they are pretty useless
And this is why I view India the exact same way as Norway when it comes to being a “subtree”
They both only provide Premiums/Pack Premiums, with India providing a Squadron vehicle, but it’s a T-90 at that.
At least Norway/Korea provided the VIDAR, which is more unique than what Indian vehicles were provided so far.
I’m part Norwegian so it sucks to see Norway the way it is
The problem is that those late upgrades could be filled by the UK having the Eurofighter or the Aussie Supper Hoernts. As those are just all-around better aircraft than an over-tired F/A-18A.
Yeah, for sure.
To look at it a different way, just due to the armament of the upcoming CF-18s, it’d just be the German F-4F ICE situation all over again.
Older frame/aircraft, but pushed way above its BR due to the armament.
So yeah, just having the EuroFighter / Australian Super Hornet makes more sense at that point
