Idk I’m starting to have doubts about the Swiss Hornet.

Well for one why would it come only to Germany, I mean not only would you have to model that variant but also other like the US and perhaps the Canadian one.

Secondly in Gaijin style there needs to be a Russian counterpart, which is unlikely due to the fact there already a pairing going off.

The A-10C and the Su-24M, why would both need the F/A-18 and the Eastern thing in the same update ?

In my eyes the FFA P-16C seems more likely as it would be the selling point for the sub since not only it’s unique, but a user model is being created of it as we speak.

I’m sticking with the Hornet.
The P-16 was only mentioned earlier today and before that gszabi said that the redacted Air Vehicles were correctly guessed. I also don’t think the P-16 fits the pattern.
So I’m sticking with my guess.

5569

I’m 90% sure I saw the FFA P-16C once before today and before Gszabi.

5570

at least not according to the forum search

5571

I have explained this before. Just check my profile and surf through comments.

Im not saying that the PLAAF stole the Lavis design
J-10 primarily designed off existing J-9 data

@tahsky here as part of this convo. It wasn’t originally part of the guesses but it did show up once.

5573

Well when the leaks came out I was 100% Hornet but now I learned about the P.16 I’m more,

Hornet - 45% to the P.16 - 65%.

5574

Yes, it’s just that they have some similarities, and at that time, the close defense exchanges between China and Israel led some to believe that J10 was the Chinese version of Lavi. But after observation, it will be found that his pneumatic layout is completely different, and different pneumatic layouts require too much time to polish

I’m still team Hornet
Mainly because Germany is only nation (currently) without a 13.7 fighter jet
Plus as I said before, Gaijin does have history of introducing vehicles of foreign operators first then adding them to main operating nation in one of future updates

Yea same I’m more hoping the P.16 since if it’s tt I can get it with an easy grind.

5578

True but from the pics the P.16 seems like it’s nearly finished.

5579

After 1999, the aerodynamic data of J10 was leaked, and the Israelis attempted to replicate J10’s wing and engine designs to revive Lavi, but ultimately failed

at least as far as I’m aware, the VBL and the VAB are both intended to be fired rearwards, you can fire them forwards but it requires someone to dismount and hang off the back, the Lorh variants I did not know of tbh, I only knew of the one with the MCT turret on it, I suggested the FV103 cause it’s got the same 360 degree firing arc, but is also unqine, as the UK went with a FV103 with a MCT turret instead of the copula mount when looking at the same idea

5581

the counterpart to the F-18 is the chinese J-10, its still the old blue vs red

5582

We have advanced variant with better than MILAN tho, and with “turrets” for them.

5583

ooh really? I couldn’t find anything like that when I was looking

5584

One of the few

No, there really is not. South Korea has been denied a lot in the past, while an independent tree has been said to be at least considered.

That’s why from “Asia Pacific” I see only SEA (South East Asia) as possible. It was likely said this way to prevent giving too much information.

My guess is either ASEAN, or to be less overwhelming specifically Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

It likely just wasn’t a priority. Though in case you still mean Korea specifically, then yes.

5586

Also russian counterpart: MiG-29M? Su-33?
