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.
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.
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.
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
I always like to analyze things, like this image. Of course I speak for myself, it’s my interpretation and it may be wrong, but it’s still worth doing the exercise.
Whenever I see the pre-orders, I think (like a snail) that: “adding these premium packages will help me sell the same vehicle at least twice in a short period of time (3 to 6 months)” why? because I sell them now, when nobody asked for them and nobody needs them, only to those crazy people and fanatics of a “certain niche” at a crazy price, without any discount. Later, I then add interesting vehicles in those tech trees and people who didn’t buy the packages in the first instance, will now buy them to speed up progress.
It may sound crazy, but I’ve seen a sustained logic about this over the last few years. Not in all vehicles, but in several of them for sure.
Judging by the photo, I’d say in the next updates:
Germany may soon receive the H-145.
Italy the Centauro II.
Japan a Thai ground line.
Again, I’m probably wrong, but at least this serves as a trigger for your own thought exercises. Cheers!
