I saw a lot of people saying the german O-class BCs could come as well, even though none were ever laid down or reached resonable levels of completion other than blueprints (and maybe an engine)
Well the rule is laid down so we will never see them unless it becomes an issue later on for naval nations without top tier options.

Sorry for my out burst guys just that I’m just seen as a laughing stock now and it annoys me

The rule is the ship has to have been laid down at least, and the O-class doesn’t fit the bill. Ersatz Yorck and Mackensen however do work within that, if only just.

Ahh ok, cheers for clarification
We have no current plans to do this, as there are other more viable candidates for the British tree. There is no need to resort to these random leasings just because someone British flew it once.

Gaps Gripen ? : D
Indian MiG-29?
Thats fair, just a point though, it wasnt once it was regularly for over a decade to avoid loss of skill, maybe as an event vehicle further down the line?

Well the MoD own a Gripen D and it can be armed if needs be so I guess that what he maybe revering too ?
No.
The Gripen D leased by the ETPS is not an option
How do you know that it’s not an option? Do you work for Gaijin?

And that is controlled by the MoD
Im gonna be perfectly honest, i really woudnt want an ETPS Gripen, its a single aircraft used by QinetiQ (i think) and would never realistically see combat, whereas at least my F18 suggestion would have most likely been fighting alongside british aircraft

Ether he is anti British or just anti C&P
Down, boy.
It would have a slightly different airframe due to the added weight, so it wouldn’t be copy and paste.

It’s a single aircraft, flown by non-combat pilots twice a year. They keep the Gripen in Sweden at Saabs facility and never used it for any kind of combat exercise.
How is that an option?
