I could be wrong about the Harriers but someone was looking at a F-22 option along with French Rafael fighters ect
Here’s a “what if” that came close to being reality

Didn’t stop them from trying

This one was an F-X proposal. It lost out to GCAP anyways since for a joint project it only offered very limited Japanese involvement (only the engines iirc), on top of Lockheeds already terrible reputation for cooperation.

The Royal Navy outlined its design requirements for its eventual replacement for the Sea Harrier FA2 and those design requirements were combined with / used by the USMC for its design requirements for a next gen carrier capable strike aircraft that would go onto become the F-35

How do they even come to those U-2 looking wings as an end product from mixing F-22 and F-35 lol
That’s how JSF started and it’s why UK is the only tier 1
It’s probably not the F-22 that it’s based on but the F/B-22, just with modernised systems.
Have you still got that doc laying around ?
Nope. These models were done independent of WT, by a different group of people working for Gaijin. We found out when the other way round happened: they modeled CS/SA-5 correctly and the devs failed.

It truly is the end of an era, been looking at leaks and participating actively in R&R looking forward to this aircraft for many years since the F-16A and it’s finally here

Well yeah, euro truck makes sense. Actually there is a company called euro trucks but yeah.
I think they’ll add them between updates and/or whenever they can get to it. Just focused on making sure they do the minimum to get the current goodies for the update out first
How is the sniper pod looking performance wise?
Better than Litening III?
F-15C too

I’m not sure. Last I checked it was unavailable to use and just accidentally strapped onto the F-2 visually but then removed after

So they put MRM Adapters on the inner pylons in their own devblog… This must be the 6x AAM-4 leak we’ve all been waiting for
