Or save one of them for late 4th gen premium in the future?
There’s sub variants for that
unless the make the J-16 after the JH-7 and J-15T after the J-11, but you never know tbh, or just J-15T then J-16 after the 11B
We’ll need 3 lines for the future, an aerial superiority one, multirole/ECM one and a naval line
First step for Sweden is to just give them the Gripen E. Not the wierd Gripen C+ they have at the moment
Israel will probably just be a Rafale.
china yeah, thats gunna be interesting to see what they get.
and whats an option for the US?
they should move the J-10A and folder with the 10C and slap that between the J-11 folder and 11B maybe
No, it’s a strike eagle derivative. Advanced Eagles are FBW ones
There is enough time this year to get to 5th gens though so long as every update adds things.
(Just looking at the US as a baseline obviously they won’t be the only nation getting things.)
March - F-16C PoBIT
June - F/A-18E Block 3 or F/A-18XT
September - F-15EX
November - F-22 + Early 5th gen
December - F-35 swarm + the lonely J-35.
I think the issue is, it’s hard to place 5th gen. the frist set make sence to drop in a big update and the Oct/Nov one isn’t usually considered one, but at the same time, for the F-35s for everyone in the next update right after and that doesn’t scream Oct/Nov either.
again?

the only difference is that it dosent have the extended flaps, that not even all gripen e’s have
Yeah, it would make sense, either that or come with ARMs which could include a total overhaul of radars, chaff (or CMs generally) and also include ECM.
they wont be getting a new plane every single update of the year
thats just not realistic
Right? and? the Gripen E they’ve got should have those extended flaps which most if not all production airframes have
please no more Hornets, I’m tired
Yes, please more Hornets.
so they will just change the 3D model in a few months
why should anyone need to grind another 400k rp just to get a new 3d model
I might do a concept with my proposed layout, but the end of the lines will end up being:
Aerial superiority (currently J-11B): J-20A
Taiwanese line: (currently J-10C): F-16V
Light fighter line (branch from J-10A): J-35A
Multirole/EW line (currently JH7A): J-16D or J-20S
Naval line (Branch from J-11): J-15T or Naval J-35
Dont you want your , F/A-18 (early), F-18A (late), F-/A-18C (neither early nor late), F-18E (early), F-18E (Late) and EA-18G?

ye, coz idk what they would do tbh since the only empty line is after the H-5
