Still hoping to see Alpha Jets with missiles in both the German and French tree at some point

VFA 34 blue blasters is another good idea

Late october or early november, maybe

But it might F/A-18E (early production) (block 1) for USA tech tree

AIM-120C AMRAAM 3 variants for USA & USA allies fighter aircraft top tier, my guess

Another 3rd gen targeting pod for F-15E, F-16C Block 50, A-10C and F-16AM MLU

this is what im saying, the us has a few older trainer aircraft to give out, A-37, OV-10. Goshawk??? T-38 was never armed but… paper vehicle wink wink nidge nudge gaijin give it 2 20mms and some missiles call it a day (F-5F :) )

The Hawk 200 could fit in a few different BR’s. An early variant with either Skyflash+9L’s at around 11.7 - 12.0 and a late version with AMRAAM+9M’s at 13.0. We could also a 200 Later late version with AMRAAM+ASRAAM which could be 13.7+ depending on how ASRAAM performs.

That’s what I’ve been saying for almost two years now.
I would have loved a Skyflash+9L Hawk 200 while we were “stuck” with the Tornado

that’s not a super hornet, the intakes are wrong.

Super hornets have squared off intakes

Plus those possible 3 we could get some lower BR ones too like the T.1A at 8.7-9.0 and be like the Alpha Jets with rockets, dumb bombs and a gun pod, then a Hawk 100 around 10.7-11.0 with 9L’s and maybe some earlier radar missiles if it could carry any.

Sorry for spam but I think this one looks the best and it seems to be a legacy

hawk 100 has no radar,

Personally Id like to see a SAAF Hawk 120 LIFT and a Hawk 128 (T.2), also maybe some Hawk 115, 127, & 132 skins (Aussie, Canadian, & Indian hawks respectively)

U right

VFC 12 over the years has had a wide variety of aggressor camouflages for the f-18s I’d really like to see more than just a unicolor one like on the f5 I know that 5e has a two-tone gray but some of these ones on the f-18 just look great

ov-1 is an observation aircraft that was given weaponry its not a trainer

btw t38 wasn’t a paper aircraft NASA has one on display

They’re talking about the paper armed proposal

OV-1 isnt a trainer yeah but fits the “tandem light attack aircraft” role well

T-38 isnt a paper vehicles because, well, its in service as the main fast jet trainer with the USAF.

it ISNT armed or capable of being armed (like the TAV-8B) however the T-38 is very similar to the F-5F which would make a cool event vehicle

Now that you mention the SAAF Hawk, where are the SAAF Buccaneer and the Cheetah? :(

Just wondering but how large in terms of file size is this update expected to be? I play on Macbook and i’m wondering if I’m going to be able to have enough space to get the update.
