I never realized the AIM-9X was so old
Might as well throw the MLU 1 f18 in there given its likely a prem jet once we get next gen ir missiles
2003 iirc?
took a few years for them to โcatch upโ 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.
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-29โs for filling they should focus on more of the modernized ones. I think thereโs plenty MiG-29โs in the game already, except for modernized versions.
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 ๐
Yup. It would be totally stupid, but looking at the recent pattern of sub-TTsโฆ Its pretty clear gaijin doesnt care

the thing is just that it is backwards compatible
(with worse off-bore tho)

Yeah I say ignore them since weโve 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.
Personally my idea was that since they use a lot of second rate (in modern terms) American equipment they could be used to augment the tree in a way that looked โniceโ since France already has some American equipment of their own. I figured M60A1/A3 and M1A1 would look better in a tree that already has M26 and M4A3 in it instead of Leopard jumpscare lol.
But yeah the trees are already a mess so they might as well keep going. Its not possible to have red v blue anymore.

An early Rafale would only work if they donโt give it MICAs, which would be weird for a Rafale
