hasnt been the most perfect of ordeals tho.
it is an extremely ambitious project. i think they couldve done it better, but it is what it is.
i dont think they have ever sucessfully had air force, navy, and marines operate variants of the same fighter in large numbers before this
*was. its been replaced by a british built one as the missiles been upgraded.
Nothing being known about its production more likely means its not being produced its not within Lockheeds business interests to keep it a secret.

Well it can get 9X.
harrier. buccaneer too
dont think govt would be too happy about them bragging about it.
flight testing on target drones is fairly far along imo
and how many of those did you guys operate at peak?
The chance of a CF-188 coming are pretty low I’d say. It would not get the “Naval Aircraft” designation, as the Phantom FGR.2 and F-4J(UK) lost theirs as well in-game. It would be best placed as a Squadron or Event vehicle in the US tree.
Or Gaijin just adds it as a camo.
Probably more than the US has f-35s currently
but why not ASRAAM? clearly fired from a US F-35.
I was talking about your claim of unannounced production. Which wouldn’t be in Lockheed shareholder’s interests.
we have 630 right now.
Congrats, finally broke the 600 mark, only took how many years
well surely they have made a quite a few if they are running multiple live fire tests.
and was it in lockheed shareholders interest for them to hide F-117 and SR-71?
57 FRS.1
122 GR1/3
those are the Gen 1s excluding trainers
this is the late 1970s btw
