Sure, it just seems contradictory to design something with the goal of it being optionally unmanned while also planning a second seat.
I would expect them to rather do the usual and have both a single-seat and a twin-seat variant with the single-seat variant being the basis for the unmanned variant.
The only reason they would use the same plane both in a manned and unmanned configuration is to reduce development time and cost anyways. To me it seems more likely that they either go full on unmanned or go with the manned-unmanned teaming concept rather than using bigger, more expensive airframes as drones.
Not having to plan in a cockpit and everything the pilots would require means you can make the vehicle cheaper and smaller.
What are you on about bro I would put it about on par with the F-15C when I played it on the dev server it is not that good nor is it equal to any of the 14.0s other than the F-18C in the swedish tree which itself should be 13.7
Putting unmanned gen 6s are likely to be an reserve option, in an optimal condition, dedicated loyal wingman operated from WSO/RIO would be the main UAV element of a modern air force. Valkyries or anjian etc.
It wasn’t insane on the dev server. It was mid as hell. As soon as it ran into a rafale, eurofighter, f15c/e, hell even the Gripen or f16c and the hornet just folds like a cheap suit. 10x aim120 isn’t that much of an advantage if you cant take advantage of the range.
I have a question, gentlemen.
How many patches ago were we denied the F-2? Truly it can’t be so overpowered that we’re forced to wait this long for it.
It really wouldn’t be that op ;-; I don’t know why we haven’t gotten it yet unless they are saving it for something or just being lazy because they already have a top tier
