An Argentinian plane being listed as premium in the German tree is rather strange.
They are adding this plane, to be correct.
Photo taken in 1982 of the wreckage of Pucará A-511, flown by Major Carlos Tomba. It was shot down on May 21, 1982, by a British Sea Harrier (XZ451/006) piloted by Nigel Ward. Tomba ejected from the Pucará at very low altitude moments before the aircraft crashed northwest of Drone Hill. He escaped uninjured and walked back to Goose Green.

British team observing pucara at Port Stanley Airfield in the Falklands/Malvinas
Buddy, the Pucara from the teaser is the A-511.
i dont think the british captured a crashed plane
And what’s the problem with that? Are you going to try to justify a story about where the aircraft is headed in the game?
you win, mate.
It’ll be a British pack.
nobody wants to open the door to captured vehicles that were not operated in combat

Well it’s a tri-wheel aircraft and english
California Class Cruiser
Sovremenny-class(Pr.956) Destroyer
^^^ Man if we are actually getting these as playable…I’m BUYING my way to them, I shouldn’t get my hopes up though
I know the UK captured one plus stripped crashed ones for parts. Wonder if where going to get a skin of the Pucara during testing. Pucara was found to be positive by British Pilots but the engineers did not trust the ejection seat.
looks like a F-3D skykight cockpit
Too bad the Pucara Fenix seems to be just a security plane the upgrade does boost the performance.
But lots of versions!

Well this is an Iowa I tried shooting with top down 29TDs and they damaged the ammo on each pass…they have a close HE amount to the Harpoon and less pen then a Harpoon will have…all though the Harpoon does not have much pen 4 - 6 inches I think??? On a skimming attack yeah they won’t do a thing though vs a BB!
idk, it looks different
The Harpoons Warhead is a 221 kg (488 lb) WDU-18/B penetrating blast-fragmentation
So basically a SAP shell pushes though some steel and expode. (I may be wrong I am not a shell nerd)
The issue with anti-ship missile is it hits center mass right into the armor new ships don’t have a true armored belt so no matter but battleship does.
The ship launched Block 01 can go Mach 0.71 so add that on but a Anti-Air even WW2 could attempt to track and shoot that down.
