I agree, if the UK is to get a legacy Hornet I hope it’s the CF-188, as the Aussies also have Supers they can bring so CF-188 - Aussie Super would be ideal if you ask me.
But I doubt a Commonwealth Hoernt is coming to the game at all now, as the UK is likely to get a Soviet plane more. At most the Aussie one as a US event
In the example I was referring to, the ZA Gripen, there are indigenous options. For the F-35, there aren’t, so clearly that is a very different scenario.
Because you wanted trees to be pure with no C&P, the Gripen was a filler between the Phantoms and Tornado.
Phantoms 2019
The Tornado was added in 2022
In your purist world the Gripen would off not been added which meant we would of had a gap of 4 years of nothingness
If I was Gaijin I just wouldn’t add fifth gen jets
the only one which is valid there is S Korea.
Leclercs, Challengers and old patton tanks are not unique
Gaijin not adding vehicles when they were most need does not mean that they couldn’t have been added when they were most needed.
Do some research into these nations. You clearly have done none.
Such as?
Britain rn for CAS feels really ass, considering the only plane that gets AGM is the SA Gripen. None of the other vehicles in the tech tree have AGMs. The only option is Brimstones but those aren’t fire and forget. RAAF didn’t use AGM-65s, well that’s what a quick Google search says. The Canadian CF18 did use AGM65s.
(I’m salty that majority of other nations have fire n forget AGMs, and that I have to purchase 4.5mill SL worth of Tornados.)
These.
Now they’ve said it re Indian stuff can see all that appearing but su-30 def not at the same time as a russian one.
We’ve got plenty of commonwealth vehicles in the tree, the common sense idea would be for them to go uk (look at naval)
These would have been OP at that time.
What would be the point
Nerf the flight model for a time, then. They’ve done similar things in the past many times.
Yeah, but one can hope. We don’t really know what Gaijin is up to behind the scenes. How decisions are made etc.
not really
Not having foreign vehicles? You know, the thing this entire discussion is about?
Very much incorrect.
You do know the Typhoon was just added, so what that a gap of 7 years of nothing but Tornado
O_O
PGM-500/2000s are AGMs, mate
