Thats honestly quite a low bar.
A paper airplane with Japanese markings thrown by a Japanese air force pilot is more real than the F-16AJ.

A paper airplane made out of the brochure for the F-16AJ :P

Anything is really, they chose to use the name of a real yet paper project for a made up variant that hasn’t existed before Gaijin thought it up.

X wing?
Funnily enough yes. Both are designs made up by entertainment companies, but at least the X Wing is old enough to be considered history.
Spoiler
That being said F-16AJ is still loosely based on a real design. It’s horribly inaccurate in the historical context, but at least the F-16 airframe really exists.

Maybe we could get some proper East Asian maps. Maybe a few more Chinese maps, mainly ground maps. Battle of Taierzhuang would be great for an urban city map. Otherwise there is a lot of variety in landscape for China which will go well for a variety of Chinese maps.
Perhaps even a better Korean map besides the 38th Parallel. I mean, MASH is still on cable, if you want inspiration, just watch MASH and you’ll have a map to use.
There should be more Vietnam maps. I’m sorry, but the most influential war during the Cold War should be represented better than just somewhat city, somewhat swamp. We could easily have city maps like Sài Gòn, Hà Nội, and even Huế, or we can even just steal the BO1 tank map with all the trenches and the weird Vietnamese Banzai charge that feels like it was cut from World at War. The name of the mission escapes me, but I am sure one of you can name it. While we are at it, we could have a Tết map, where the city is littered with abandoned parade floats, confetti, and costumes, with the faint sounds of Hát Tường. They’re Communists now, their music should theoretically be free to the public.
More Pacific War maps. I want more palm trees, I want more rain storms, I want the map to have multiple islands, with three objectives on three different islands, and the only way to cross is either through a bridge where you’ll get sniped, or through water, where you are severely slowed. Did I mention I want palm trees, tall grass, and water?
Speaking of Japanese aggression, why not a British Burma/Malaysia map? Why not more India maps? Why not a Kashmir map? We could have a Himalayan map.
We could also have a Cambodian map, since that was a hot spot for bombing (America) and invasions (also America, but Việt Nam also invaded to stop Cambodians from being themselves). We could also do Laos as well.
See, so many East Asian maps. We don’t need obscure Greek maps, and terrible remodels of established maps.
Well, I got nothing anymore…
Plus the X-Wing genuinely makes more sense in Star Wars than Gaijin’s F-16AJ would in the competition the real AJ proposal was historically made for.

F 35 didn’t just carry bombs but RB75 or AGM65A, essentially it would be like the Swiss Hunter but with bombs added on but from what i know we used 9E with the early model that carried the AGM’s but i may be wrong. AIM-9N is a weird name as ive seen both 9P3 and 9E mentioned when talking about 9N.
Would be a lower BR AJ37 which honestly would be better, worse speed and flight performance but much better at its job as CAS. Internal gun, flares, chaff, can use missiles and bombs(more importantly though it can use its AGM’s and missiles at the same time) and actually useful bombs over the 250kg bombs the AJ37 has. Its arguably one of the most unique Drakens as its the only one that specializes so much in the CAS area. For A2A the J35ÖE would probably be a better pick but for CAS the Bomber Draken is definitely a weird role to fill.

It 's been added to the Custom Battles map selection now, though it doesn’t seem to be in regular rotation still.
it’s finished and should be in early production stage.
not really. J-35 is the successor of FC-31, but every detail changed, basically two planes
no but seems close enough

Nice bonus is that grinding multiple trees also generally makes you get better at the game.
Most single nation mains are just one trick ponies that aren’t even good at their one single trick.

Honestly yeah, you also learn different wrakspots seeing how people kill you. Its a pretty good way to learn, id love for more people to break away from one nation executivity but not everyone has time to play other nations so i do understand.
