a trailer without stuff from the 2 countries with the most vehicles that could be added?

pretty mid overall but they do provide decent CAS and missile counts.

Yeah why not

Does Gaijin have plans to supplement the Japanese 10.7 lineup with reliable vehicles? Currently, the existence of the hawk209 is really too awkward.

Nah, no way Gaijin would ignore their main milk cows even for a single trailer.

The Irony is hilarious.

Britain, who has one of the best 10.7 lineups, has 2x totally useless Hawks, that are simply never worth actually taking in GRB compared to the Jaguar GR1B or Buc S2B.

Japan, who doesnt even have 10.7 lineup or anything even near it, has a very potent and capable CAS aircraft at 10.7 that is better than a lot of other aircraft at 10.7, including both of the other Hawks.

Gaijin really cant balance anything can they. Hawk 200 RDA at the bare minimum should get AGM-65Ds or Gs and the Hawk 209 could almost do with loosing its AGM-65s and moving down to 9.7 in GRB with just unguided weapons

What does the hawk 209 have over the 200?

Hawk 209 gets IR-guided AGM-65Gs, 200/200 RDA get TV-guided AGM-65Bs

Hawk 209 is largely the same setup as the Hawk 200 RDA (radar, no internal gun and wing tip missiles) but doesnt get SARH but does get a gunpod. Both have All-aspect but Aim-9P4 vs Aim-9L.

In terms of the CAS, the Hawk 209 is significantly more capable than the Hawk 200 RDA, as it gets IR AGMs and a gunpod. and yet they are the same BR in GRB

Well of course

The hawk209 is obviously much stronger than the 200, but the flight feel of the hawk200 (209) makes me feel like I’m not flying a trainer aircraft at all, it’s really very bad.
To put it nicely, ‘gaijin’ is planning the queue from a long-term perspective; to put it harshly, it means no one buys it and leaves disappointed. Hawk209 is no longer a gift pack, it has become a permanent Golden Eagle vehicle.
So, I chose to play the Swedish 10.7 queue and the AJS37, which makes me very happy

Hawk 209 was 100% gonna be a buy for me if it had a lineup.

Not to mention there’s also other aircraft for Japan that just lack a ground lineup all around the same BRs. The A-7E just got shrikes so it can run 6x Walleye Is or 2x Walleye II ER/DL (MITL) or 4x Shrikes + 2x Walleyes, yet it has nothing to be used w/ at 10.7-11.0.


(also included the F-1 but was moved down to 9.7 in the last BR change, rather than getting a 10.0/10.3 vehicle)
All I ask for is the Indonesian Harimeow + Leopard 2A4+

Yeah, not that surprising given the degree its underperforming

Gaijin really does like shooting themselves in the foot with these kinds of things.

Like I would have bought Nelson, without even a second thought… If they hadnt rendered 7.7+ naval incredibly unfun and boarderline unplayable

I got 45mil, just wait and see.
