Malaysian F-18 right? :P
F-18
Rafale
Gripen E
F-2 with better missiles
Those are the 4 options I can think of for 14.0+

Could very well be one, J-11BG will be much the same as J-11B but with AESA, except we know less about this thing than J-10C, since it only started entering service in the past 4 years or so and has no solid stuff since no export. Otherwise they might do the J-10B which has a PESA. Although we know yet less about that one.
Those I know of, and they are likely slightly subject to what Gaijin decides. I was really thinking about domestic ones.
Would AAM-4B make much of a difference considering the seeker limitations RN, HMS I could think will be a nice upgrade.
in ground yes
in air yes
Naval? that’s another story, half the Battleships in game are WWI configuration
no Germany trialed F/A-18A in 1972 and a Woman that’s now the head of the EU once suggested we couls buy them to replace the Tornado but it was never any more than that
The concern with WW1 subs though. Could they fire underwater?
I recall something about them needing to surface or mostly using a deck gun or something
wouldn’t that exactly balance them at lower BRs?
that is a good point if everyone needs ESA the UK could just get an indian rafale /j
Maybe, but at which point they would be worse PT boats.
the MiG died with the soviet union

There is no F-2A confirmed with or have tested HMS/HMD. Its been rumoured but no confirmed sources.
F-15J(M) Late. Would have MAWS, AAM-5 (when other IIR), better engines (?) and radar (?), IRST.
F/A-18D through Malaysia, Rafale through Indonesia (not in service), Gripen E (not delivered/not in service) and a F-2 with better missiles would be the AAM-4B and AAM-5s which both don’t fit in the game.
Su-30MK/MK2 or Su-27SK(M) or T-50I through Indonesia
Su-30MKM or FA-50M (blk20) through Malaysia
Also for sub14.0, F-16AM/C

don’t fit the game yet
we’ve reached the point in time where a Full Missile capability Leap is possible, both for ARH and IIR missiles of the Meteor/120D and IRIS-T/AAM5 class

Possible, but I doubt it’d be this year. December update is not likely imo.
^Though honestly that’d be the only way to fix the gap in top tier ARB that the Eurofighters, Rafale and Su-30SM have made.

Actually. I put gen 5 IRs at a 50/50 chance at the moment. Only excuse I can think of as to why they’ve not added the Gripen NG/E yet
And would explain the low powered nature of the F16i
When we do see those I doubt they’d be given only to weaker aircraft. They might even limit them to just the top tiers like they did with the AIM-120C-5 that could’ve been added to F-15C/J(M), Gripen C and others, but were only added to top tier aircraft.
That’s what they probably will do but I hope the devs work something out with variable BR’s or something for the older aircraft. Stuff like AIM-9X would ruin a few aircraft if added straight to them and push their BR up high but if there’s the option to take the better missiles but at the cost of a higher BR then it’s better than them being left out (or the devs just adding the exact same plane but with the new missiles all for 400k+ RP).
Like maybe add the missiles as a modification which when selected allows for the missiles to be used but also adjusts the BR accordingly. Think camouflage nets or additional armour/war kits for tanks but more than just visual changes.
