Gaijin has already said repeatedly that gaps that cannot be filled, can be filled by Commonwealth nations. Not necessarily exclusively for Britian, but Britian included.
They’re absolutely viable and potential candidates for the devs to have picked from.
Sea Harrier FA.2 is carried by its missiles, instant acceleration, and would house one of, if not the most unnotchable radars seen in game. Blue Vixen.
BAe Hawk 200 would be a weird choice, subsonic but good radar, good missiles, insane dogfight capabilities
I more mean it came with a preproduction radar that the community had to beg for them to switch, which kinda left a bad taste in my mouth so i wont hold my breath on britain getting an actually good plane
I get you, 100% but Smin has already confirmed a new top tier (this means 12+ BR) jet for Britian. We know what Sweden is getting, which is JAS39 so for it to compete with MiG-29, Gripen, F-16, there’s only ever going to be like…5 jets all of which i’d be happy to see.
Sure Sea Harrier FA.2 isn’t as good as a CF-18 or F/A-18 but, it’s a SUPER significant part of RAF history, what with the Falklands/las malvinas war
The Blue Vixen would essentially be un-notchable to anyone who doesn’t have the best RWRs in the game. Paired with AIM-120Bs, you’d be looking at a really lethal jet still, even at the lower end of what we could recieve
He also said that big update doesn’t mean big in terms of new content. As much as I want Monday/Tuesday devblog I’m going to expect Wednesday/Thursday instead
I reckon Tuesday Wednesday regular blogs, Big Gaijin announcement on Thursday nothing Friday or maybe dev stream and teaser Thursday a long with the big announcement but I think we get Dev next week
