Hoping this will give then the reason to add the RAM II to Britain finally

We still have to see what BeNeLux for France would exactly bring and what it would mean for everyone else.
It doesn’t help that Gaijin is so tight lipped about this situation. They’d rather see us running around like headless chickens and only make a few obvious statements than interact with us.

I would think the obvious answer is that BeNeLux vehicles that don’t belong in France, would find themselves elsewhere. But this is also Gaijin, whose game has the Hunter F.58 in Germany and T-90S in the UK.

I would mind if they told us where India would be.

From the previous vehicles and this leak it seems like India will be Britain’s 2nd sub tree.

Its also far from being the best 10.3 its decidedly average at best. the only real thing it has going for it I guess is all aspects but its not the only one at that BR range carrying those so…

Too add to this Romanian aircraft would have been nice to see over just Hungarian stuff but it is what it is.

Isnt it now 10.7. Or did they cancel that

The GR.7 is very capable as CAS, gets a ton of CMs, and as a Harrier II it flies better so it won’t struggle as much with WVR stuff. Comparatively the FA.2 trades a lot of other capability for a good radar and 4 AMRAAM / 2 AMRAAM + 4 sidewinder, both of which give up guns. Idk which will end up higher but I suspect (until ground and air BRs are separated) they’ll both be very close, with the AV-8B+ being the highest BR Harrier

Still at 10.3

Yeah I’d say it would need a Br increase but always the question what they’ll actually do with that since it’s a premium.
Still my rough guess for the majority of rank 8 premiums will be upgraded gen 2’s or gen 3’s with Fox 3 missiles.

Just comes down to how potent Blue Vixen + Aim-120B actually ends up being.

They canceled it which was fine imo.

And honestly if they were going to move the subsonic all aspect carrying bomb truck up to 10.7 they should do it to the other ones as well because they are just as good if not flat out better…

(looking at you A6E)

which like I talk about before is one of the dumbest choices they could make not just because India doesn’t really like the UK that much IRL or that they use mainly eastern tech, no its the fact that they would be the 2nd of 4 subtrees that just dont have a top tier (what a surprise the uk has both of them)

It’s hilarious that the AMX is 10.3 while some attackers like the A-7E, which is straight up worse, is 10.7.

agreed. I am honestly hoping when the split BRs come some of the BS around attacker BRs is fixed.

Any news?

The American experience lol

Smin reiterated something about South Africa giving the Gripen to the UK because of the gap between domestic vehicles.

So essentially sa air is still just a one off?

Bummer.

Germany has domestic F-4F ICE, no need for one more C&P.

Indeed.

And somehow India doesn’t destroy the UK tree’s identity but Canada does? (like what drugs are you on to get that idea)

Like, unless I missed it and the UK went communist and joined the Warsaw Pact/became best friends with Russia at some point I don’t think they fit.

IDK about you but the nation that trained the RAF, spent much of its industry building for the UK, fought alongside the UK in some of their most important battles, and close friend sounds like it fits the UK more.
