the range we have atm is around 200km which is still the max range of a meteor so eh? the biggest thing is its mach 5
the UK and japan at least also have the JNAAM program
I want to believe but yea, just no AESA is a red flag since that was the whole reason they didn’t add it yet.
I doubt many of these leakers and wishlisters even know the XF-2A exists.
On the other hand, as @maxidaxy_ネコ mentioned, XF-2A would kind of be DoA. I think it could still be added later, especially as an event or premium aircraft.
I am worried with all these Thai F-5s showing up that we’ll get a lackluster update and be told to be happy because “Japan got something!”.

200km number only comes from the thing that caused the program, the pl-15
Yep, statements like that drive me nuts.

I mean again doesnt change atm the US is behind as the AIM260 isnt cleared for service things like the Meteor are
Why does everyone want the MiG-29K? Afaik it only has 32 CMs and is just a slightly better MiG-29SMT.
Why not cope for the MiG-29M instead? Much better plane anyways
2 R-27ETs, 4 R-77s and 2 R-73s is a very nice loadout

ye we are behind but flight testing started a few years ago, so it isnt as far behind as some ppl think
Ssshhh… It will be free kills for the Typhoon and Rafale that will make stock farming really easy
so do you think Typhoon is coming soon? I have begun to doubt and fear we will be seeing F 18s everywhere.
This leak is faker than Gaijins love for minor nations!
I don’t believe this list at all. It’s either Yukari’s or from the discord leak server that is authoritative information.
Honestly… I Just cant see any reason to wait after the F-15E with 229 engines was added. Literally nothing we could get that would hope to go toe to toe with that.
Yes, Britain and Germany could get F-18s (though Britain that is only the F-18A, so not really top tier) but France and Italy would be really screwed.

I mean, Australia does have super hornets right?
yeah idk gaijin has a tendency to leave minor nations until there new jets are are either only on par or worse, I can see the F15E and F15I being better then trenche 1 EFTs
I have no idea.
MiG-29M would be a dream for the game, it would basically a more F-15ish J10 in terms of gameplay. Thing is gaijin probably wants to do naval update, that’s why most say MiG-29K.
That said the original 80s early 90s MiG-29K is basically a navalized 80s MiG-29M with 120cm, and the later one should have additional CM pods SMT style

Afaik it goes significantly farther *then AMRAAM
They do but that’s unlikely to come soon. As we are looking at just getting the legacies.
So if the UK was getting a Hornets with the others it comes down to(and this is the only time we would see this either or for Hornets as the possibility for the CF-188 goes out the window after this(unlike the Aussie with their Supers):
CF-188 IMP I
or
RAAF F/A-18A HUG P.2
(If my info on the Aussie upgrades is correct. From the words of other people)
It honestly seems like a very fun off meta plane, just like the M2K.
It would certainly be nothing meta breaking but I would grind it out 100%
