Well, so far there are no Spanish-made vehicles in the game
About Spain being a former minor Axis power, they only were Axis aligned prior to WW2 and generally Spain is not considered a Axis power.
The BMR SIDAM, if that even gets added, would go to Italy either way due to the turret
I believe the matador is a spanish harrier, not 100% sure on that or it was at some
Of the things coming this update i am probably most excited for the tracked rapier and F/A-18A and not much else.
AV-8S or VA.1 Matador was the designation for the Harriers bought by Spain. The designation is the only thing that’s Spanish about them.
Tbf i only knew it had something to do with spain
I think the Spanish variants did have some unique modification like a fairly decent RWR, but yes. The Thai AV-8Ss are just exported Spanish AV-8Ss which are virtually the same as the AV-8As
Well, the Thai AV-8S after former Spanish AV-8S after all lol
more precice the Sky Guardian 200 (basicly the same as the one from the Shar FA.2) wich bouth of the Thai harriers get with the next major.
Thinking about buying the AV-8S Early now with the RWR change and the FM changes coming now.
gonna make a fairly decent CAS plane at 9.7 with the RWR, the 214 Flares/chaff and i would probably use the zunis with the rocket ccip + rearm at the heli strips.
Ah, very nice. Yes that is a very good RWR. I wonder if the Sea Harrier FRS1 (SQV) is also getting a better RWR
Id be fine with that but i do not believe Italy needs more diversity like the Patria Hitfact 2 nor thr F-18 they do not need those nor will they ever need them when domestic options are available or gaps are already filled. Cent 2 wpuld already be nice and a Spanish Model will likely arrive as a premium. I agree with your view of it unfortunately quite a few don’t agree with it in that same way.
oh thats mega, a reason to bring the AV8S over the A. shame it never had 9G as i prefer them over the P but thats cool
T.10 for sure just too bad i wont be buying it until a sale. So far everything else has been pretty trash for all my other nations. Only 1 decent F18 is coming and so overall its pretty meh. Looking forward to the Su-30 though.
Ah yes, AGMs that mach 2.2 is completely balanced when every other AGM goes mach .9
I can launch a brimstone from a Typhoon and outrun it lol.
T.10 WILL get its BOL before Live. Devs change of heart
ill ask again monday evening to the CM if any changes happened (but itll be dataminned before then if it does)
Still too expensive lol.
Wait did they really change their stance on this?
Also 4 bol or just 2 to keep it worse than the Gr.7?
They’re more GR.1s than AV-8As actually, there was a whole thing where the UK gov didn’t want to sell to spain so the US acted as a middle man, it’s rather amusing tale invovling the US converting them to be more AV-8A by swapping the ejection seats etc.
Semi relatedly I wish the Thai Sea Harrier purchase went through, would be nice to see modernised Harrier 1s
Ah, interesting.
Honestly even with the limited bomb load I was having pretty good luck tossing 1000lbers at Gepards.
it’s great fun ngl
Im hoping the GR3 will get a Phimat Pod, giving it an extra layer of protection and reason to use it as CAS over the Buc S2 or Jag GR1
