The thing that makes it special is its modern weaponry. Adding it without AIM-9Ls and LGBs would be like adding a JA37D without RB99s.

just too slow, most WW2 plane are faster than it.
We need a separate TT for such aircrafts.
I’d say COIN aircraft would be fairly neat in the heli tree, but they’re honestly best left out of the game unless they’re something akin to SK-60
or like adding a Strikemaster without AiM-9P
let’s call it Trash Tree and have it be where all weird vehicles like it from all nations are in

ngl would be kinda pissed if germany got an Austrian F18 but the UK got a SA grippen instead of the CF18
Finally, the further evolution of the technical tree
Yeah, so would I
“Bitish main being pissed over Germany getting a US designed/made jet, before britain gets said US designed/made jet.”
I have to say this wouldn’t be something I would have had on my R&R bingo card if it actually happened.

Could Sweden get the Finnish F-18 in the upcoming amraam patch? Grinding the exact same jas-39 but able to mount amraams doesnt sound very fun to me
It won’t.
Sweden already has a very limited amount of rank VIII notable fighters left, mainly the 39C, F/A-18C and 39E.
Gaijin adding 2 of those in the same update would be really stupid in terms of the future of Sweden rank VIII.
There are four, since there are two different versions of the JAS39E.
I mean Norway and Denmark has F-16AM’s, Could work too
Britain mains being constantly told they are selfish for wanting a handful of commonwealth vehicles but Germans mains expect to get any and all vehicles they want from Canada, Austria, Poland, Switzerland and Argentina because “reasons”

Okay that is fair actually.
Would be worse than a gripen C with AMRAAMs though. We already have the F-16AM in the chinese tree. Even with better missiles it would have some serious shortcomings at top tier.
Also iirc norway was only planned to be used for premium vehicles a while ago.
the Austrians never had F-18s
As fellow Typhoon nation “mains” (I’m not a main of any nation, however Germany is the one I’ve played the most of), we can both agree that DA Typhoons should have come already instead of the situation we’re in, correct?
Yep, it should have.
Or they could have just added native options for Britain, they do exist but I won’t go there again, I can’t be bothered.
