If you can read, yes i did, the F-111 is NOT multirole, just ask the navy what happened when they tried to use it as a fighter lmao

The f-16c is a light multirole fighter with signficant a2g capability but it still followed the light fighter line, the f-14b also has a signficant a2g capability (for its time) and still followed the f-14a. It would only mess the tree up if it got added other than below the f-15c

Historically f15e did replace f111

Exactly, hence why it went to the light fighter line.

Gimme teaser please

So teaser Thursday then I’ll set my alarm lol

Which makes me think exactly why the harrier line should just be light strike fighters. Gaijin would most probably add the 15e after the 15c anyway to prevent confusion

Not today or Tommorow, 90% of teasers are on Thursdays

F-111 is multirole tho. Its a multirole strike aircraft designed to perform various of missions such as SEAD/DEAD, Recce, CAS, EW, etc. F-15E is its successor based on two seater F-15 platform.

In fact doctrine wise F-15E is a bomber and is never deployed as a fighter.
