AIM-9X and AIM-120D at 13.3 would be insanely OP
9X and 120Ds are easily 15.0

Tejas from what I understand is pretty advanced, like a step down from Eurofighter and Rafale.

CF-18 and F/A-18 (Aus) are functionally the same, but different weapons and Canada and Australia are both represented in the tree. So it could go either way.

I think guessing BRs is too much speculation and wishlisting to be accurate. Better to just focus on the aircraft we’ll see rather than their place on the BRs.

Tornado SP, Sharrier FA.2 are both decent guesses as they’re the most logical domestic aircraft to add that comes next and expands our capability but we’re still pretty niche at that point and not very competitive.
CF-18 brings us up to the same as USA, USSR, GER, China, Italy, France, Japan, Israel which I think will be this updates goal. Giving UK and Sweden the means to capability match the other nations F-16s, MiG-29s and such

So will you answer me, in what way is this jump expressed?

776

Well tbh that problem could be avoided with an improved F-16AJ or an XF-2A (which would be just sparrows and 9M)

777

So acording to Olivia’s leak.

Bolzano is gonna be the main prize of the submarine event?

778

Private company my rear !

“ETPS is run by the MoD and defence contractor QinetiQ under a long-term agreement.”

779

Bolzano?

780

sparrow and amraam/any bvr arh are not comparable in range, capability, or ease of use

unless heavily gimped, any bvr arh on a platform with a good radar can and will destroy anything with sparrows/sarh missiles

781

An F-15 being superior to the early F-16s and MiG-29s?

Nah, I think I’ll pass on explaining that to you

Italian cruiser Bolzano was leaked together with Submarine event by Olivia.

783

QinetiQ is a cool name

Either we are going to see the Gripen C for multiple nations or the F-18 for multiple nations. No way they would use either of these aircraft for a single nation only.

I don’t know what MoD thing is can you explain it ? :P

786

Various aircraft do not have half the weapons, much less avionics. What is the problem?

787

? wha

788

Chill it’s just a wild guess. Nothing’s final

Yeah pretty much but in the end it’s more between Mirage 2000 and Rafale. All depends on the weapons.

RAAF F/A-18A as a squadron vehicle :)

So, I ask you, what exactly is superior to the earlier versions?

790

MoD I think it has to do with oh yea the ARMY :P rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee Gripen time

791

And why would an F-18 be in the east German branch?

Switzerland speaks German and French, they likewise have military history with both. So adding vehicles that Switzerland used would fill out BR gaps. Similarly with the Dutch and their AH-64.

If they get vehicles added the Vampire, F-5E, Mirage IIIS, and F/A-18D would be it.

My only complaint is that if France doesn’t get the IIIEX, then the IIIS should be shared so it doesn’t turn into another F.58.

The original arguement was about germany apparently soon needing a paper F/A-18 as much as japan had needed the F-16AJ when that one was introduced
I believe you are trying to argue about something different
