Tho youd really think gaijin would not add the f2 again knowing how requested it was
Given it would only have L and M’s, I say 10.7 to 11.3 ish
Ms at 10.7 is wild my fella
So 11.3 to 12.0 then

I’m not an expert by any means but from reading the Wikipedia specs sheet the T50 seems pretty comparable to Gripen. They have similar thrust, weight, and rate of climb. Top speed is worse. No idea how the turn performance is, since the T50 is a twin seat trainer it’s probably not as good.
7 hardpoints, one of them is for gunpod. Gaijin can probably decide to give either 9L or 9M depending on what BR they’re aiming for. It could be anywhere from 12.0 to 12.7 depending on flight model I imagine

F-5TH gets IRIS-T and Python-5, their F-16A (e)MLU also gets IRIS-T.

Yeh but uh the thai version seems to be the lowest version lol
In which in it self can replace the F-16AJ since that’s at 12.7 itself

Yep! F-16AJ’s probably scheduled to be R2Y2’d at some point

I’d take any T50 as long as it can fire, I’m not picky :)
It was one of my reasons to get it in which resulted in me being able to get the F-2 on launch which will be a first lol
The Wiki article about T-50 / FA-50 confuses and mixes lot of things up. Gernally the armament of either is not too great.
Fun fact; Philippine FA-50PH has been equipped AIM-9B for quite some time, until replaced by AIM-9L/i.

Well tbh not everything does what it says in the tin, otherwise we wouldn’t have a prime minister who want to destroy everything.
Anywho… i bet its gonna be the f2 theyve put it off too much

The T-50 is the trainer, FA-50 the fighter variant - even though both are not far apart, especially when it comes to specialized exports’.
