Thailand was a Hornet customer in the 90s, buying 8 airframes. Sadly before they were finished the Asian Financial Crisis cut this short, and Thailand couldn’t pay the missing 3/4 of the deal. All 8 aircraft were finished as F/A-18Ds for the USMC.
It’s a bit of a cope, and very much a sidegrade to the F-2 anyways. So more of a joke than anything else.
Don’t think the engine counts if it was for another aircraft too, on the same basis the Kawasaki AH-2 was denied. But if the radar was designed specifically for the XF-108, that should be enough.
I’d personally like to see it still, seems like an interesting aircraft. Especially for the US, where most of their mainline jets were export successes, there’s a good need for more unique airframes. Especially with subtrees now.
That being said, I go by unfinished prototypes not because it’s a Gaijin rule, but the suggestion rule. And I personally like it.
Gaijin themselves are very fishy, sometimes adding full-on paper vehicles, sometimes even not adding near-completed vehicles.
So if you want to go by a different system, that’s probably just as close to actual Gaijin inner workings as any other.
maybe turning while sustaining mach 3 at like 80k feet, but ive heard A-12 series had solid performance at lower speeds. not a dogfighter ofc, but still
SR-71 manual says a little over 50 nmi radius @ M3.2 and 44 deg bank angle, and a little under 40 nmi @ M2.8
Yee, had this bug also but with an German F-18(Yes, German/sadly in the end it was the US Premium version which somehow turned up in Germany)and an German Eurofighter

I’ve been seeing enemy chat messages (like drone pings) occasionally pop up in my chat and on my mini-map.
Also, does the Obj 292 have blowout panels for the charges? I swear it used to, but I got hit in the charges and exploded. On top of that, I’m loading it with only APFSDS shells, yet still explode when the rounds in the carousel get hit.
Gaijin, fix your game.
Why is it that people always say it’s a copy and paste of Germany, Russia I understand but Germany, some captured tanks and leopards which we are planning to retire soon anyway.
