Access to a good birdie is strictly forbidden for britain.
Get a homegrown plane ? it turns like a bus (tornado)
Made a good plane ? to over trees it goes (hunter)
Finally get a decent flight model ? Ha ! jokes on you, the radar is an overpriced microwave (EFT)
Its in britains TT so close enough, just want until hawk and maybe we’ll have a decent vehicle or the Gnat, that will be a very annoying little fighter to fight against (as long as its not 9.0+)
Still better than nothing, it was also better than the Gripen A since the A got its weight nerfed during that time to C standards. So again they did get the best version of the best jet at the time. I guess technically the best version of the EFT lol
