That’s fair, I was just wondering if there was any determining factor based on the images from the trailer such as visible mods or specific features that can be pointed out.
From teaser it looks like a Frankenstein version since it has a latntirn pod but small diameter bombs which are from an era when lightning pod was used

Only visible thing someone pointed out was the tail number on the skin:
However we don’t know for sure how much significance the skin holds to the variant we are getting.

If you’ve seen my reply, it’s a lot of speculation, since it used small diameter bombs that came out in 2006, the strike eagle should have at least a lightening pod, but we’re getting the older lantirn pod.

For context lightening came out in 2006

true, Gaijin is known to frankenstein certain vehicles/skins, so we will have to wait and see to be sure.

Maybe it will have a choice of pods, depending on the modification

They have changable kit, so i guess Gaijin would do the same, give only guidance that are “balanced” and keep the best one for later.
Also it can’t use Magic 2, but yeah stock grind would be horrible without that, so dunno…
But the most i think about it the most i see Gaijin not giving AASM at all till Rafales…
first time I must say the buccaneer S1 is better (for base bombing at least)

Yup, it use only MICA IR, IRL, no magic 2 and not even EM (unlike the -5F that can use both as will).
