Funny, as there are more than 50 CF-188 in active service. So the UK premium still would have happened.

But that was just Gaijin listening to the comuntie namly the Canadian’s who wanted it (well not a premium but in the UK.)

Or they could have skins used by the oportor nation and not of the origin, so the vehicle domestic to the other nation can be added under the flag, it’s domestic too.

This logic is the same as adding all skin for the British Spitfires on a US one and never adding the British ones.

they dont though, they just should not have been added at all then

yeah they did that to the P51 too it annoys me to no end

so US spit fire should have been a skin for british spit in my opinion

Well that’s you views and options, gaijin heard it was a highly requested aircraft of the respected nations = “Ever since we first introduced the F/A-18 family to the game, many of you have requested the Commonwealth variants of these aircraft.” "We hope fans of Commonwealth aviation will enjoy these “aircraft with a sting” as we welcome more Australian and Canadian vehicles to the game. "

there was no other option for top tier premium than the CF-188

But it also splits available lineups, want to make a modern Aussie or Canadian lineup? Well you can’t because the representation, skins or elsewise, is in two (or three) different trees.

Splitting operators has been discussed many times, and I cant be bothered talking about it too much, but it is the worst option for these nations.

The US should also not be split, the P-51 and Spitfire skins should just be moved over to the US model, and removed from the British one and vice versa, no need to split up any of the TTs in game.

And there was this reason for the Aussie hornet = The first Australian variant will be the RAAF F/A-18A (Early), which will help to bridge the gap between the Phantom FG.1 and Sea Harrier FA.2.

Well, it could have been the RAAF F/A-18A, making it so the CF-188 and F/A-18A HUG 2.4 were the tech-tree ones.

still would have been a hornet tho.

it only came because Britain mains could not accept not having an American fighter they never even used for some reason, yes

It was mostly commonwealth people asking for them, but OK

Wrong = The first Australian variant will be the RAAF F/A-18A (Early), which will help to bridge the gap between the Phantom FG.1 and Sea Harrier FA.2.

yea i asked they said its some legacy thing

"Because the Mustang Mk 1 was one of the earliest Mustangs in the game. Thus all camos at the time were added to that.

Nothing is off the table. They are just not going to be removed from the Mustang Mk 1"

not really a gap since UK also had 12.3 options

Commonwealth people are still the same as British main unfortunately they can’t tell the difference

would not solve the problem and will be deleted same as the harrier T-10

other getting su30 and f18 premium and you think that gaijin will put a tornado like its gonna sell and make money

elp to bridge the gap BETWEEN the Phantom FG.1 and Sea Harrier FA.2.

Ehh… I will disagree right there.

Tornado F3 (Op Granby) 4x Aim-9M + 4x Skyflash STs + Phimat would be rather fun at 12.3/12.7

Heck, it would be bad, but Sea Harrier FRS51 could probably cope around 12.7

Saudi Tornado F3 for a 12.0

Saudi Tornado GR4 equivalent (can never remember its name) could have been a decent high BR premium strike aircraft (and i would also not say no to a direct equivalent to the WTD61 at some point)

CF-188 was just the easy option
