Yup, one true Fighter variant, one early interim version of the Fighter variant and one Trainer/Strike variant
It looks like a more camouflaged iai kifr
The J-10C hanging PL-17 appeared in CCTV reports
It was based off the Kfir
Not quite, the Kfir is a Mirage 5 based platform, the Cheetah a Mirage 3, the project was essentially an adjacent devoplement to produce a Kfir like aircraft but on an older airframe. Overall they’re relatively similar, but almost every detail is different.
Next BR changes when?
You can see the special tail fins belonging to PL17 at the tail of the missile
it pylon’s retaining buckle, it’s front shape is this
and the black spots on bottom are where missile/bomb linked to.
This week, my guess
There is the “City of Hobart” Aussie Mirage, which has an Avon Mk67 engine. But they also have normal IIIC or IIIE too.
I’d rather have Cheetah’s instead of the same Mirages tho
The F-15SA also very useful gap filler, so the US actually could use that advanced eagle.
F-15SA, could be added like the WTD 61 stuff was added for Germany
F-15QA “assigned to the US Air Force”
Because guess what?
All 3 ARE/have been flown by the USAF technically
Find me proof of any Japanese ties to the F-15SG, let alone a JASDF squadron flying them
F-15SE just exists
I’m well aware of it, but it would be maybe a full br below the EX, and also probably a squadron vehicle (I want them to keep adding the unique stuff as squadron, like F-117, so main tree can have more conventional vehicles, but squadron stuff can be more interesting)
add this to France
While your at it, add this somewhere.
Oh hell yeah I want silent eagle as soon as stealth is implemented
Should probably be an optional F-15E upgrade rather than a necessary grind step though
Flying prototype had only CWB and some dye. Not so much stealth
