I always thought it’d be a ww2 aircraft like the Spitfire, Bf 109, A6M or Corsair

Still doesn’t deny the fact it’s still a propaganda piece and got it’s kills through a modern day crusades.
You still haven’t said a reason why the F-14 got so many kills than the Typhoon.
F-14 wars
-
Libya: F-14s were involved in confrontations with Libyan forces in the Gulf of Sidra, including engagements in 1981 and 1989.
-
Lebanon: F-14s flew combat air patrol missions and engaged Syrian forces during the Lebanese Civil War.
-
Persian Gulf: F-14s participated in both Gulf Wars, providing air patrols and escorting strike aircraft.
Bosnia and Kosovo: F-14s participated in operations over the Balkans
Afghanistan: F-14s were involved in Operation Enduring Freedom following the September 11th attacks
Typhoons wars
- 2011 Libya Intervention (Op ELLAMY):
The Typhoon made its combat debut in this operation, conducting aerial reconnaissance and ground-strike missions.
I mean how British mains will try to get an American vehicle they never used. F-111, F/A-18, now the AV-8B, etc.
it got the vast majority of its kills in the Iran-Iraq war, with no US support whatsoever due to the Iranian Revolution in 1979
your AI literally missed the most major conflict the Tomcat participated in

This isn’t about that, there’s no reason why countries like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and North/South Korea among others via coalition trees should be put in tree that either already have thier own vehicles filling gaps or can get domestic options.
Also smin already explained that since the F-111K wasn’t fully built, the C variant via Australia was preferred. Iirc, the K is still on the table, just no current plans. Also the USA never even used the F-111C.

Still proves the point though, the US been in countless wars that how most US aircraft got it’s kills from.
As the users of the Typhoon are sensible and not spilling blood 24/7.

Looks at US mains trying to get:
- Brazilian Gripen E (when the Gripen C was added)
- Saudi Typhoons
- Canadian Leopards
- Canadian LAVs
- South Korean everything
and probably a load more that Im forgetting

Yep, Typhoon has proven itself in both of the conflicts it was involved within so far and has done an exceptionally good job for its primary mission of QRA and air policing.

the F-14 and F-15 got most of their kills in the hands of other countries, because the US never entered a major war besides ODS after the F-14 and F-15 were in service
Entered no, started yes

either way there was still British demand for an F-111 that was never operated by them
What you mean the 111K or a country that has close ties to the UK? That stuff? Yeah crazy why we got that

That could easily be filled by a vehicle that meets the criteria for a vehicle to be added called the F-111K Merlin
Im a brit bong and even i know the f15 is the most iconic? But that could just be because i was born in the 2000. Using the word iconic will mean very different things depending on when you were born so its kind of a mute point? Most iconic plane (not jet or prop or anythign specific) for me would be the spit as ive had one flying over my head most of my life.
Best thing to hear is a spit flying over during a game and getting ptsd as you look for the cas lol.

That has been passed, but its sat in that purgatory now
Australian f18 for the asraam (they just want a taste of excellence, i shall not have it).
Stuart VI is a US tank just renamed?
the m22 locust should also go to us tbh as we were the only nation to use them. The americans dumped it on us as they didnt like them.
