you know that I usually agree with you on the CP argument
but this time the reasoning is truely out of my imagination, the absence of a reason would’ve fopund more acceptance with me but noooo
Britain asked for the BAE EAP, we were told no
Britain asked for the Sea Harrier FA2, we were told no (heck we even just asked for the Harrier Gr9A for a good ground attacker and was told no)
Britain asked for the NZ F-16, we were told no
Britain asked for the CF-18, we were told no
on and on it went.
Britain was at least asking vehicles from nations that had a relation to Britian, including options for native stuff to fill the gap.
Germany has spent the last 4 months asking for more countries than Britain ever did and yet Britain mains are still accused of asking for the world. Germany’s need is just far smaller imo. Yes it sucks for nations to not be competitive, but the Tornado ASSTA1 is fine for the most part as would the Tornado ASSTA3.1, with the right equipment. F4F-ICE is perfectly usable, just harder than it is for most nations.
So the immediate need for Germany is just far smaller and thus the idea they need a vehicle from somewhere like Argerntina, just feels really random. Swiss vehicle is a maybe, but that is it, no otehr nation is appropriate or needed for Germany. At which point, you have to wait for the F-18 to be added, which might not have any CAS as it didnt IRL.

What double standards exactly?

Exactly this, I am incapable of putting it in a way easier to understand than this. And besides that, Germany might be getting another new plane if the swiss hornet is really going to them

could put the hornet in france, they share as much with with the swiss as the germans
Yeah but the recent addition of the FAPP indicates to me that Germany is getting Switzerland

It would come out at the same time the F-16C came out, not before. Which meant us Japan mains would have had to wait 9 months at most. Again it woulda sucked but would be far better than the AJ and wouldn’t have opened that pandora’s box. Though if they actually added the AJ as is in the brochure with the gear door sparrows and guided bombs, it would be far better.
No worries, I don’t hold it against non-Japan mains who aren’t in tune with what Japan has. Just wanted to put it out there so others also know instead of repeating the same thing lol.
In reality I believe it did, actually more than likely the XF-2B used it while the XF-2A was testing other things (though later they were all converted to production anyway).
However there were provisions to use the APG-68 as the J/APG-1 was in development at the time and if it wasn’t ready by the time they were testing the XF-2A then APG-68 would have been used.
In other words, it’s an option Gaijin can leverage if they want to avoid AESA.

Which is funny because most of the time,
A. it was never meant to carry the stuff they are asking for
B. it may even be at 14.3 which would be pointless anyway lol
I think for this reason Switzerland will get the canada treatment
Wanting 1 competetive plane =/= wanting every plane from every country.
See this is exactly the disingenuous word twisting BS I am tlaking about, you guys pull up each time.
Quite contrary it´s funny to see people like you panic when Germany finally gets comparable planes a year after everyone else.
not for me, no
there are plenty of vehicles in game from random countries that aren’t a sub tree of anyone
I really don’t see the point in the dutch Leo 2s tbh. The 2A6 (especially the 2A6NL) would be pretty meh, nothing that makes France meta. Maybe this is one of those additions that becomes useful in 2 years when it brings a 2A8?

The Swiss Hornet will be in the exact same position as the Finnish Hornet iirc (until the MLU ofc)

Why are you acting like this only happens to Germany???

At this rate I think they should give Italy and Britain the Tyhpoon in decemeber and then give Germany the Swiss F-18 :D

Agreed.
/s obviously
I mean isn’t that always the rule to give Germany the meta aircraft after the US and Russians : P
As cool as the Hornet are, and even if historical we could put link between Swiss and France, i still prefer domestic stuff. It would be hypocrit for me to say no for F18 to Germany and yes for it for France xD
Meanwhile i would like those French-Swiss joint project more :)
That’s my main concern about subTTs.
that’d be the rule, yes
happened with all MiGs after the 21MF
the only thing that would be funnier is if britain and italy got the EFT in december and the german Prototype is the operation winter reward

Major nation complex. They have to receive meta content together with other majors otherwise its clearly hate towards them from developers.
Meanwhile minor nation players simply accept things as they are or enjoy meta in other countries.
