Squadron teen series before US is despicable

Although we might get an F/A-18A I hope for Saudi F-16E in future or maybe f-15b or d

yes

I mean they just had the F-117, since italy been suffering with out one for far too long I think it’s a fair trade

How is the dec update going to be a big update since there is not much time and the only non released leaked vehicle (that I’m aware of) is the f-18, obviously it’s an anticipated addition but a lot to be done for the typical large update; unless dec and nov have switched

Tbh 117a really shouldn’t count, yeah it’s cool, but the only reason it was added as a squadron was because there’s be backlash if they added it anywhere else.

And it mostly just serves to test a feature and bring hype.

F-16E is pretty far off, and I doubt they’d add a squadron f18 with the big f18 update so it’d be a little while anyways

Best I can do is F-4G, F-4E (late) and F-4CCV

but the AiM-9Li-1 is literally for all purposes and metrics equal to the 9M which has been in the game for longer than the regular 9Li

it’s not really a stop gap solution it’s more of a make it what everyone else has solution

9Li-1 improves the seeker aswell afaik

The AIM9L/I-1 is already ingame as the RB-74(M)

Those are more suited for the US than the Turkish model

No. Thats AIM-9M

it’s not a regular APG-65, it’s an APG-65GY although based on the base model APG-65 it was modified and produced by DASA alone, in Germany, its the same story for the RWR and the modified weapons computer

the entirety of the upgrade was done in Germany by German companies because the US literally denied upgrading them to the Germans

Watch them make it event.

yes it does actually

it improves it from AiM-9L performance to AiM-9M8 performance

I am sincerely convinced you people cannot grasp nuance.

Let’s try this again:
T129 - Turkish
TAF - Turkish

Does this mean that it is a sub tree? No. Did I claim this? No. Is it more probable that they will keep these things together in the interests of practicality unless something crops up that requires them? Yes. Where would new Turkish additions likely end up for the sake of practicality? The Italian tree. Does this mean it is a sub tree? No. This is not complicated. It is logistically more practical for them to be grouped, until otherwise beneficial.

Which demonstrates that the region that made the equipment has questionable influence on it, at best. It barely matters. If it did matter in the grand scheme, shit would be French. Stuff’s in the Italian tree out of convenience and practicality. As long as that continues to be the case, that’s how it will end up.

It is not hard to grasp the practicality of this. Until another nation that desperately needs Turkey shows up (that will struggle with a different sub tree), the stuff will likely remain in the tree it has been used to patch. This does not mean it is a sub tree. It simply points to practicality. It really isn’t hard to grasp.

only if there’s a better SEADer in the tree tho

if we get an EA-18 first then this may aswell be event

Inflation goes brrrrrrrrrrt
