Would bring it up from a 12.7 hp/t to a measly 39.2 hp/t.

Could serve as a nice light tank backup for the chally 3.

7912

still would have no top speed

and the 165mm

I never realized the AIM-9X was so old

7916

Might as well throw the MLU 1 f18 in there given its likely a prem jet once we get next gen ir missiles

7917

2003 iirc?

took a few years for them to β€œcatch up” to the ASRAAM project after they pulled out

But is it actually French or is it going to be Dutch/Belgian (American/German)?

My bet is either an early Rafale for the hype, or yet another Belgian F-16 because Dutchland suffers.
Or possibly a copypaste Mirage 2000

Belgian MLU update predates AIM-9X

Also somehow Belgian F-16A (Block 15) has JDAMs even though it predates the bombs.

And the US Block 10 is a retrofit Block 15 OCU right now.

7921

Dumb Rafale M F1 is possible with Magic 2s and MICA RFs but both our game and my wallet is not ready for that to be a premium

It cant be an F-18, I cant think of any option for it

Algerian Mig-29 maybe?

Its probably gonna be an F-16 for the same reason we got a Leopard 2 instead of some kind of proto-Leclrec.

instead of adding older MiG-29’s for filling they should focus on more of the modernized ones. I think there’s plenty MiG-29’s in the game already, except for modernized versions.

7925

I remember a lot of people got mad when I suggested Algeria and Tunisia instead of Holland/Belgium.
I still stand by it as long as Britain has India.

F-5E 😍

Yup. It would be totally stupid, but looking at the recent pattern of sub-TTs… Its pretty clear gaijin doesnt care

the thing is just that it is backwards compatible

Yeah I say ignore them since we’ve got a mixed match maker so why not mixed trees lol
But remember Smin did say the Beneux is one sub not three so France could still get them.
