very good chances of getting one.
I mean the TOR once got tied to the back of a ship, not surprising they didn’t colour them correctly. That thing was itself probably torn off sth any way.
It isn’t that big of a change. Just torn off the chassis. Could add to all sorts of stuff.
HQ-17 has a faster top/average speed(not in game), but missile stays same size, M2 is smaller but also faster.
Gaijin when?

Where F-47? Missing a couple F-15’s too
F-47 would just go after the F-22A Late, but I figured I wouldn’t bother with the sole 6th gen aircraft that would be on there.

Maybe the F-55 would go on the right side. It seems to be more of a strike eagle replacement since they plan to upgrade the base F-35 as well
That’s definitely a possibility. I just put it after the F-35A because it’s supposed to be based on the F-35. I also wouldn’t expect a carrier or VTOL variant to be made since it’d be too heavy, so just the USAF would use it. It would also more than likely be a single-seater aircraft.
A major reason why I wouldn’t put it after the EX is that the EX is being used for a very different role. The F-35A follows the USAF single-seater, single engine line. The F-22 follows the air superiority of the F-15 line. The F-35C follows the Navy fighter line. The F-35B follows the USMC/light strike fighter line. And the F-15EX follows the heavy mulirole/fighter-bomber line.
Alternative TT Idea
The F-55 can fit either that F-16 or F-15E line since it definitely retains that multirole capacity present in the F-35, and both the F-16 and F-15E are multirole. It just comes down to whether it’s more important that it’s a F-35 derivative or that it’s a heavier F-35 derivative. Both would work, and I like the idea that the F-55 could fit after the EX for sure.
I think it being heavier and two engine is enough to put it in EX line. You have F-35A for your single engine AF fighter, F-47/22 for your air superiority, F-35C/F/A-XX for you carrier jet, F-35B for your Marine/VTOL, and F-55A for heavier a2a and a2g loads

F/A-18E → 14.0/14.3
it’s even slower than the C
AESA radar, advanced IRST, better missiles (120D, 174B), all account for the BR difference

AESA radar hasn’t helped the Kfir C.10 enough for me to believe it makes a serious difference
IRST hasn’t made a feelabe difference for the British Typhoon either
a better missile to Push it to a BR it doesn’t belong to won’t help it, especially because a slower release velocity will cripple that Missile in Range and Kill probability

and a reminder: missiles are chosen for the airframe to be balanced
thus we got an AMRAAM less Premium Hornet and the EFTs got only Mediocre US missiles instead of it’s Signature weapons ASRAAM, IRIS-T and METEOR
APG-79 should be a whole lot better than whatever the Kfir has. IRST is also newer than Typhoon’s. either way its a later aircraft, it should get missiles it had, like 174B, to make it stand out and warrant higher BR. there is also the increased a2g stores.
ASRAAM and IRIS-T sure, but afaik the Typhoon we have ingame couldnt have had meteors
if you want that then I want my EFTs to get their real missiles
but the problem there is that there’s nothing the rest of the game can put against this jet then
yes it could because it’s a Tranche 2
even Tranche 1s are able to use METEOR
the specific one that’s in the german tree is still in service
but meteors only got introduced with the tranche 3’s, this is a tranche 2 and could be from before
do you mean variant or is the serial still in service
