There’s no point until the gap between 9.7 and 11.7 is filled with something in the tech-tree.

Hope it’ll be TT and we get another US rank 8 premium.
I wonder what would be good rank 13.0-13.3 material for the US
The F-20A had the wiring and controls onboard the aircraft (at least in the iteration found ingame, that being the 3rd prototype). The final 2 pieces of the puzzle is that it was capable of mounting said missile given the pylons it had, while also having the wiring to be able to fire them. But again, it would have needed a software update in a very similar regard to how any MiG-29 9.12A would have needed to fire the R-27ER.
ya know, on the topic of proto 4, I wonder if it could ever be added as a “unfinished prototype” in a simple case to the yak-141. However it never flew, so idk.

I’m not gonna be happy if the best Tomcat is a premium
I ground the entire US air tree in the hopes of getting that thing one day
They got BAE to do that for them which was one of the predominant reasons BAE was selected to upgrade Gripen A to Gripen C standard (that and having helped design the plane and avionics they were intimately familiar with it).
But I’d therefore suggest anything a Tornado can identify so can a Gripen C. Anything known to NATO should be included iirc under the NATO standardisation of the Gripen airframe and its known threat library that was part of the point of it.

Given the situation with the ja-37di, the tomcat could become a premium aircraft, although it all depends on how greedy the gaijin are.
On one hand, I am glad because I can continue playing this Viggen at 11.7 (in SB).
On the other hand it’s completely ridiculous decision, as the only difference between the D and Di is that the Di has cockpit in imperial units. These 2 planes are otherwise identical.
We will have to see if Gaijin will just copy paste the Viggen D cockpit in metric onto the Di or not. Which would be funny (and sad) as hell to charge 70EUR for an imperial version with metric cockpit. xD
Sure would sell though. I think through the US aircraft that wouldnt be overpowered but still be desirable and thats the top of the list. It can do CAS, A2A and It’s an F-14 (not an Iranian one)
Considering i dont think they fixed the german word Kreig being used instead of Krig for the war peace switch i have no hopes that gaijin will actually update the model.
Especially if it’s masquerading as an “RAF” jet in War Thunder
F/A-18A basic from USN ?
F-14D would be researchable vehicle after F-14B
Or might be F-14B Early (before upgraded bombcat) ?
I have a funny (read offensive-ly funny) meme for this, but I would probably get a perma forum ban for it. xD
And your help was very much needed :)

Wouldnt be good enough F/A-18A wasnt certified for AIM 120? this aircraft needs to have an ARHM
F-14D maybe have 2 versions one for the tech tree and one as a premium.
Might have to see about getting a bug report in for this particularly for Gripen.
I meant wiring for AIM-120 specifically.
Well the fact of mounting something means nothing especially considering the missiles in promo photos werent even live missiles but dummies. Also same pylons carry AIM-9L in game so this argument just doesnt hold itself
Its so ugly I love it
