They also skipped St Andrew’s day 2025 and I’m betting they will also skip St David’s day this year too.
Lmao imagine a Rafale but much lower with just M2s and the gun…

Maybe our first Dutch F-16? Would be fair

It carried more then that
Well the first operational Rafale, the Rafale M LF.1, already had MICA EM, so yeah. But a premium Rafale couldn’t be too high because Gaijin hasn’t yet dared adding a straight up top tier jet.
For that reason they’d probably add it with limited loadout.
If they did pick the LF.1, then no OSF, probably no HMD, a PESA radar, and other stuff I’m surely forgetting
I thought even the very first Rafales had an AESA
It had an absolutely terrible PESA that apparently was worse than CAPTOR-M (/CAPTOR-M+PIRATE combo), at least based upon some online bits and peices I read ages ago

AESA starts at F3-R iirc
Huh, didn’t know that
I guess that would be an option for a premium then. Knowing Gaijin they’d probably place that at 14.0, even though a Rafale with a worse radar is still a beast
Issue is, PESA and AESA are basically identical in-game, it probably wouldn’t be that big of a blow.
It would still have MICAs which are incredibly OP, even in a limited carry count
and its still a Rafale FM. Even nerfed to hell, its probably 14.0+ worthy
I know, we are talking about Gaijin tho lol
True true. 13.3 based upon other previous premiums :D

They’ll just copypaste one of the Rafales we have but with a PESA, put it at 14.0 and call it a day.
Probably won’t even bother adding the LF.1 with no OSF and HMD
the rafale pesa is ±60 degrees, while the aesa variant that we have in game is ±70 degrees.
Other than that, it would be essentially identical in game yeah
Heya, just noticed something wierd. Why is the Tornado GR1 being foldered under the F-111C? Shouldnt it be the other way round?

Yeah, the Tornado GR1 should be the “top” vehicle
They could have made a Tornado folder instead, but for whatever reason they just have to reduce the ranks of the early Tornados

Yeah, though nothing unusual. Gaijin constantly do wierd things regarding the Tornados that make no sense

F-111C is going down to 11.3 in GRB (its already there in Air AB and SB), so both are at the same BR for RB and the F-111C comes first in the current tree progression. It also helps to break up two Tornados in a row.
So with this new tech tree changes to the fighter lines of Britain could we see some future additions that would plug those holes in the progression sense ?
Surely AAB/ARB/ASB should always take prescedence for aircraft? (though for the record, its a meaningless change, as we have no 11.3 ground vehicles and so they will be used at 11.7 regardless)
It is 11.7 in ARB and imo, errenously 11.3 in ASB whilst the Tornado GR1 is still errenously at 11.7 in both gamemodes. If it is going down to 11.3 in ARB then so should the Tornado GR1. As it stands the Tornado GR1 should already be 11.3 in ASB based upon multiple other aircraft at 11.3
I dont entirely see the necessity for this, it just seems like burying the Tornado GR1 to avoid fixing its known issues and this wasnt a concern in the Italian TT or German TT
