Sea Harrier FA.2 would be a pretty interesting choice to be honest.
Its dogfight potential is essentially 0 against MiG29s and F16s, but the Blue Vixen radar set would be essentially unnotchable. It would be INSANELY good. Paired with AMRAAM and its instant acceleration, we could see it being fairly good.
Tornado AOP would be DOA though. The Ferranti Foxhunter just doesnt cut it and the airframe is essentially a bomber.
My opinion: South Africa and India feel exceptionally out of place in the British tech tree and should just be removed, replaced with Canada which fit the British TTs domestic vehicle designs far closer.
On top of the fact the UK can’t take a air sub tree it’s only been 3 months since it was reconfirmed the fate of Canada and Australia not having a home in the UK tree.
I don’t think that enough time to change their tune.
I find it incredibly jarring when you’ve got very western boxy designs for tanks and stuff, outfitted in woodland green and black- And then you’ve got some wheeled behemoth in pure SAND. Regardless of the map. You’ve got sand and stick out like a sore thumb. I’d hate SA far less if they didnt just have horrible aesthetic to them and their vehicles were good.
But when compared to what Canada could give us, SA feels like they had a good plan for things like the Rooikat HVM, realised “oh wait its a mockup…” and the sub tree fell apart
