And expensive af to operate, that’s also a factor to consider (Are we even buying Block 4?). My guess is that they’ll act as mini awacs sending datalink targets to Eurofighters behind them, tho i guess the EF EK could do that as well if their jammers are good enough to protect them
You forgot IRIS-T :P At least they can’t deny that one being integrated
Yep. :D
Ayy man like you’ve been replying to everyone else but ignoring a major problem
Is this going to get fixed or not?
Like I can’t do anything to a battleship in a 6.0 cruiser before he kills me in 1-2 salvos.
not this one tho,

The VT5 with HERA exists as an independent model, there is potentially a second variant, or the ZTQ15.
I know Britain is buying Block 4s, it should serve to drastically increase our force projection power, the F-35 would likely be the best AEQ&C we can field, seeing as our current systems are helicopter based with altitude limiting their effective range
BTW datamine

I didn’t think it had been integrated, or is it ongoing, tbh I just assumed they would use AIM-9s?
Basically the AV-8B NA for Britain, but a two seater
They are 100 percent gonna use the fact that it was a US marine F35B that flew the first tests as a reason on why they should receive the meteor.

I see that Japan is getting the best type of premium.
C&P, with a (useless) gimmick.
It gives you something if you don’t have it, but at the same time, if you do, you have something neat. (it’s already better then 90% of the premiums coming this update if you ask me)

I don’t see Gaijin going for it though
Yeah, especially since the aim260 should be an option by then

ZTQ-15 model should be abit more different,
the driver’s position is not centered like in VT-5 but towards the left.
which 1 do ya want?
IRIS-T is backwards compatible with the analog AIM-9 Interface. As far as I’m aware, the outer pylons on the F-35 have that interface. So of boresight shots or integration with MAW won’t be possible, but basic radar slewing or designation via HMS are
It would be, though the lack of BOL is a concern. Fair enough maybe limiting it to 2 instead of 4. But internal CMs only wouldnt be fun.
Especially given the Gr7 was never an issue
Iran Iraq would be fun ngl, if you think about it, chieftains, pattons, cobras, T-62s, type 69s are the thing you would see in a GRB match. Air wise sure tomcats exist and even after them there are MF1s, but everything else felt balanced.
