Because Britian continued development a lot longer and produced a far more capable aircraft for ground attack, such as more hardpoints, intergrated ECM and MAWS.
The US was and still is entirely dependent on UK built engines for its fleet of AV-8Bs. When the Gr7 and Gr9 were retired, the US bought all the engines
Yeah and the UK is dependent on Pratt & Whitney for their F135 engines.
Either way MDD started the whole Harrier 2 thing and got it flying first
Dude that doesn’t have to do with the conversation, I don’t wanna hate on you but please keep it related to SK
No I said SK should go to the US becuase of its american designs, I’m happy with thailand it was great addition and it helped out japan while not overloading its domestic designs.
This bit is very important in my opinion.
Same thing with the F-35 engines but those where contracted out by a UK company makeing them technically the united states and the UK due to the UK not owning the facilities to make the engines.
Except for the Rolls Royce LiftSystem
Yes while I might seem like I only care about the USA, I also care about SIM, SK, and countries getting what they make. I want their designs to be represented in the game, and not be over shadowed by a sub tree. Adding SK would just be an excuse for more American CP in the Japanese tech tree.
Off topic but that design was so well made it makes me smile looking at it.
British engineering as always.
P-51, bad aircraft until a British engineer suggested installing the Rolls Royce Merlin Engine
B-52 nearing the end of its life, gettng new engines from Rolls Royce
If in doubt, buy British :P
The BR changes they recently announced are still a thing?
Wasn’t that designed by Lockheed with Rolls Royce?
Should’ve been 8 GE9X engines. Would’ve given it a TWR of a little under 2:1 at MTOW
Not sure where you got that idea. As it’s naturally false.
Just because not everything ever suggested has come does not mean a great deal has and that suggestions are actively viewed.
Hey @Smin1080p_WT Just wondering if anything is planned to fill the british spaa gap this year at high tier, our longest range SPAA is now the OSA-AK at 10.3br. I think we are in quite a desperate need for something more capable that brings us on par to the 15-20km ranged missile/spaa systems other nations have, thanks for any response.
I think gaijin in a QnA they did say everyone would be getting new sams this year (I wouldnt be surprised if russia is one of the first and everyone else is in december)
As we have already mentioned, we are indeed working on new top SPAAs this year. However there is nothing currently to announce at this exact moment on the who, what, when etc. You will have to stay tuned.
hopefully Isreal, italy the US and UK are the first to get new sams
No worries, thanks for the reply, hope to see some awesome additions this year!
I am eagerly waiting for the new fly swatters.
