As above with BOZ, internal suggestion reports are open for it’s missiles already. So we can’t comment at the moment what will be final.
I doubt we’ll see the Rafale tbf, same with the Mirage, the rest all feel possible
But that still leaves
USA
Russia
France
China
Israel
Japan
with significant enough unique additions at top tier to be more than worth Grinding
that only leaves Germany, Italy, and Sweden, and that is largely because we share the Typhoon and Tornado with Italy and Germany, and if you remove the F/A-18 from the list which is not incredibly likely, Sweden also becomes worth it with the F/A-18 and Gripen E, despite being a tiny tree itself.
Not to mention all the non top tier vehicles that each nations has, which given that top tier is mostly just 4 big groups now anyway is the more important distinction between the nations
On the flip side though. Britain has very little left for the top tier of the game.
Typhoon T3/4 with AESA
F-35B
While every update we sit through another Russian and US variant of a jet they have.
Premium. To fill a spot requested by many here.
Theres also the Hawks which would be neat, and if its ever made,
Maybe for true top tier, but the Typhoon can keep us competitive in that regard for a good long while
As for below that.
Jaguar GR3A
Harrier Gr9A
Tornado F3 FSP
BAE Hawk (x 3+ variants)
Gnat
etc are all outstanding British aircraft. Doesnt take much to throw the Odd Cheatah in there as well from SA and we are set for the next 2 or 3 years at the rate at which they add jets to Britain.
And thats without even taking into account the aircraft we do currently have still need extensive TLC with the Harriers get at the moment a decent start to that work.
Since you mentioned the F-35, you should understand that the top is only GCAP and F-35, and everything else is just a temporary transitional product. And it is obvious that among the aircraft you mentioned so far, Gripen C/Mig-29K/UPG/Mirage2000 will not be the top at present. As for Tornado, haha, it’s better not to participate in adults’ games
There is and I expect to see the HAWK at some point along with the GNAT and Harrier GR.9
Tornado GR.1B (Anti shipper)
Maybe a Cheetah and the Ajeet
After these though it’s a long wating game and we need to hope that despite Britain receieving nothing in the top end bracket of the game that Gaijin behind the scenes are implementing fixes on the British vehicles we have that are in need.
Tornado F3 with 4x ASRAAM and 4x Aim-120C5 is not something I would laugh at.
What will be the price?
Would love that, but not at 15.0 vs the Su-35 and F-15EX
you’d better hope it won’t come
True, gunna be a lot of people complaining about ASRAAM. So gunna need loads of popcorn
It would probably just barely be 14.0 now
The diagonal soot pattern is from using thrust reversers, yes
I assumed as much, noticed it on the GR.1s in the Gulf
Given the outstanding TLC the F3 needs, including both BOL overhaul and Phimat pods. I think it would fair fairly well
Probably something along those lines
Has Smin said anything about giving the F/A-18C its 120 CMs?
