For the JAS39C all its done is lead to the Gripen C being poorly modeled and all models are just glorified A’s which are still missing their real armaments.
Gaijin couldve made the vehicle make sense if the A was never made to be what the C is. And had the C and A not been added at the same time. Thats a problem with gaijin and it makes me worry for how the F18 will be added.
There are more examples of nations getting their vehicles at the same time than examples of nations getting vehicles before the producing nation gets them.
However seeing as there are examples for both I won’t assume anything.
There are also examples of blatantly better vehicles coming at the same time as their lesser parts. Sometimes theres a trade off and other times there isn’t
A Hornet is not something that was ever planned to come in the current major update, so any claims as such should not be taken as offical. We would also note an aircraft like the Hornet would not come to a 3rd party nation before it was ever added to America.
Strv 122 on release had some huge trade offs. Ridiculous repair cost about 18-20k sl
38k strv 101 ptsd
And they were limited to DM 33 now the trade off for the 2a7 and 122’s is slightly better hull armor on the strv but worse round, worse thermals, less smoke.
But bigger armored leo lineup ect.
