Two R-Darters and no other missiles?
Not to my knowledge. It could alternatively carry Python 3s and some other missiles built by denel, but they all seem to share the two pylons

Well, atleast it’s a good excuse to play multi role with it in sim. And keep the Br down.
Anything above 13.0 ALWAYS goes against max br in sim so if you’re guesses are right then i’d be glad with only 2 hardpoints for missiles.
What could it probably carry on the other hardpoints?
They had a pretty good selection of A2G weapons, I’d suggest you check the suggestion on the forums for yourself
As mentioned in my edit, there is a possibility the Cheetah could mount 5 R-Darters, but I don’t know where @Headnaught got that from. There also is no mention of rocket pods in his suggestion, even though I am pretty sure the Cheetah could carry the same pods as the Kfirs and Mirage 3/5s

Still wish this was the rank 8 premium from Britain(alomgside a TT version of course). Might still get it though later. With some time in between there is no reason a country can’t have 2. Perhaps when the EF is added in the TT.

Well, luckily they had 3 variants, the C, D and E, with the C being the main fighter variant, the D being the two seater trainer and ground attack variant and the E being a interim variant that was a bit less advanced than the C

Im of the opinion that what we need next is a more dedicated CAS aircraft as our next Premium. We’ve yet to really get one at a higher BR.
Harrier Gr5
Jaguar GR3A (or Indian Variant)
Buc S50
Saudi Tornado Gr1
All would make reasonable premiums and I think one of those should be next. But yes. this would have been better than the Mig-21bigmac

We definitely need more Buccaneers. I wish we could get one with Red Angels or even one with Red Tops, but neither of those materialized IRL
5 R darter or 3 R darter and 2 V3 Kukri IRCCM missiles, with HMS and 96CMs. Also a good RWR iirc.
Radar might be AESA too actually.

Yep, or one with a 30mm Gunpod. It would make a scary gunfighter

Superswift with Red Tops when.
Though it seems according to the F-111K debacle part built aircraft aren’t suitable luckily superswift was completed and there’s a rumour they did an off the books flight test.

May I ask where you got the missile capabilities from? I can’t seem to find the source for that myself
The South African air force website lists some stuff the other bits are parts ive heard mostly from @Headnaught .
Could do with a post being made on them actually.
Ah, aight. Yeah Headnaughts suggestion and the stuff on Wikipedia and the SAAF site are my main “sources” as well lol

Canberra with Red Tops would be funny, but afaik they only carried them for flight tests, but never launched them
Spoiler
what we need is the Vulcan with 12x Aim-54s. Definetly wouldnt be OP at 9.7 ish :P
