The FA.2 is classed as a Strike Fighter?

The Cr2’s mantlet is ¼ it’s entire turret face, unlike other tanks. Its an insanely large artifical weakspot that needs to be fixed for the tank to be viable.
Two things to unpack here: the LFP brick is actually a giant slab of Dorchester composite armor. It is not an ERA. It’s entirely inert.
Secondly, Armor Shield R is NOT used by the British Army. This is a myth I have to KEEP disproving. The British Army uses ASPRO-HMT. A similar, but STANAG 5 product from Rafael. ASPRO-HMT is used on the bulldog mk3, TES, and warrior. Its their standard ERA.
The 84mm value is backed up in the topics i’ve made on this forum, alongside the supporting evidence and sources to disprove it being any better or any worse. Its not STANAG 6 Armor Shield R.
The M60s ERA is specifically referenced in the code. You can also find screenshots of this laziness in the topics i’ve made.
Appreciate the support but be careful of spreading misinformation. The Armor Shield R thing is a complete myth with no substanciated evidence to support it beyond “UK uses Rafael for ERA” they do. But not this product.

if the leak is to be believed, the sea harrier and Tornado FSP would be just worse then the F15 and Su27
Let’s see our points here:
-
Got no Cas problems (so unlikely to be a CAS)
-
Got no domestic Airframse to fill the fighter role
-
Will always find candidates to fill a gap
It looks like a Commonwealth aircraft to me. Well, there are a few other possible planes these two seem the most likely:
SA Gripen (with an alt-history/Ahistoral load out)
F-18 (unknown if it would be Canada’s or Australia’s)
There are the more out there answers like something Russian from India…

It’s designation is FA, fighter-attacker.
But the point still remains - a subsonic fighter is not going to fill the gap at top tier air for the UK. Even with AMRAAMs. We’d be better off with a Tornado getting AMRAAMs.

Yes, fighter attacker, or in other words, strike fighter, and I never said it’d be as good as an F-15 or something like that.

Or a multirole aircraft,
The way Smin worded it, it’s a pure fighter
then we need something better or the US and Russia shouldn’t get the F15 and Su27
I do believe that its pretty certain that its the SAAF Gripen tho.

Wait he also teased another aircraft too
Give it AMRAAMs and hold off on the F-15 and the like.
Any new leaks besides the crappy discord screenshots and that one AMRAAM F16 video?
Can the missile dweebs tell me what sort of missiles the Bae Hawk could carry uwu
AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9L, Possibly AIM-9M

F-18 and Gripen are multi-role capable though I thought?
yeah that is exactly what should happen but we both know it isn’t what is going to happen, because britain is never allowed to be apart of the meta at top tier it would seem
Idk but the point still stand we are getting a commonwealth aircraft
