basically, was easier than buying a whole squadron of extra jets when they were already in hot water for retiring the Harriers

For nation that cares about naval a lot we seem to never care about naval aircraft
Plus from what i can see, had the Carriers been completed as CATOBAR config, these pilots would have flown F-18s from them until there was enough F-35s (similar to how USMC pilots flew F-35Bs from them)
That’s why that argument is really poor.
Foreign pilots flying certain jet should not automatically mean that nations whose pilots flew it should go into it

Maggie Thatcher once thought about a B52.

So in that case why can no pilots fly the AJ in irl but can in game ?
Seems like you are coping pretty hard, something wrong?
A-10s were stationed in japan
A-10J when?

thank the defence minister Denis Healy who thought carriers were “Floating Slums” and scrapped most of them
No, I imitated him)
Evidence of what? Them being offered, tested and/or considered?
That is not enough to justify them being added to the tech tree
You keep on dreaming, man
hey @Smin1080p sorry to be a pain, but are the F-18s flown by British pilots too far fetched for the British TT?, seeing as they were unofficially leased with them flying them for over a decade.

i mean the only difference between the Russian Centauro and the British flown F-18 is that Britain wont have many aircraft at the F-18E mark as typhoons might still be too advanced maybe, and Australian F-18Fs will most likely go as a US SQV like M1A1 AIM
whereas Russia already has Centuaro like equivalents as the 2S25

and future additions like the bmpt and kurganez 25 that will fill the same role
