Well… This is Gaijin we are talking about here. Its unlikely, but not impossible.
Remember, when the Tornado F3 was added, the first Skyflash missile you unlocked wasnt even the Skyflash DF variant, it was literally the standard Skyflash, it was horrorific to use
The Tornado F.3 is an asymmetrical equivalent to the MiG-23MLD, with it having a better radar and weaponry, but worse flight performance, yet was added as an F-16/MiG-29 counter. Britain in general is has not been having a fun time.
I mean if a person doesn’t know the difference then yea they wouldn’t know which is which
My take it’s a Thai F-16 as some are bluey greyish which make that yet more harder
Mayhaps, however if one studied them enough, it would become relatively obvious. I don’t blame them for possibly making this mistake, however it’s not an unavoidable one.
They said it wasn’t a leak but a “what I think we might see” kind of list.
As others have commented, basically anyone who doesn’t know the specific differences with the F-2 will mistake it for an F-16C, even with a side by side comparison. Most of the differences are internal and aside from the blue paint, enlarged external features aren’t obvious.
I complain about the Leo 2a7v not being implemented correctly, everyone does that with their nations tank and i am vocal about the big gap between the f4f ice and eurofighter. I do not complain about other stuff. So what do you mean? Thats literaly sth everyone does. The matter here is about demanding a vehicle that arguably isnt even needed when there are other options /solutions in the work
On the opposite i am vocal about other stuff as well and support quite a few different endavours
Edit: and the unfairness which is called Sweden, but literaly everybody does that as well
Apologies for late response, finally fell asleep lol
If I can motivate myself enough to gather the sources, write up full development history, etc, then probably. I don’t have too much free time on my hands though unfortunately (overnight stocking moment)
If we don’t see F-15Cs, then yea, a CAS jet for Japan seems likely since mavericks while good, the current optical variants are kinda w/e right now with all the bad weather maps in rotation.
@WreckingAres283 Is there info on the F-16A OCU4? I don’t know enough to tell what I’m looking at when I google lol.
