not a fighter so the name is clear enough. couldve had YF-24 and YF-25 for JSF and then 26 and 27 for NGAD
Eh idk I’m not that familiar with the US letter schemes
they lost it after the F-22 and YF-23, skipped straight to 35 and now 47
but 47 is such a nice number, which the generals picked themself

Firebird or Pheonix is not unlikely

F-47 patch, still WIP according to ACC
They’ve always had counting problems
The Attacker designations skipped the A-11, A-13, A-15, A-17 and then jumped from the (F/)A-18 to the A-29 and A-37 after that
The bombers went from B-1 and B-2 straight to B-21
The Fighter designations skipped the F-13 and F-19. They also kinda cheated by giving their Aggressor Squad Kfirs the F-21 designation.
Totally real F-19, trust

they gave the proposed Indian block 70’s the name F-21
they skipped 13 because unlucky number, and 19 because they didnt want it to be associated with the MiG-19 iirc
Huh, what a weird reason to skip the number 19
As it stands the Kfir will probably remain the F-21s stand-in lol
Gaijin never add night fighter variant
I suppose Sakeen moving down to rank II and Spitfire Mk.IXc go to rank III
Surprise Major Update :P

Battle rating changes announced with upcoming CM
Nah they’re gonna do em without “consulting” the community.
Whatever that even means in Gaijins book lol

The F-35 kinda makes sense in so much as X-35 was the next X number available for the concept demonstrator, and when the final aircraft was made, they decided to just change the X to an F, rather than give it a completely different designation.
