at least someone got my point
It really is a wonder that they didn’t give Sweden and/or Japan a premium F/A-18 (yet)
Or dual seat anythings that isn’t a major modification.
Like the F-16D and F-100F spring to mind.
The problem of “it’s the same but 2 seats it offers nothing” is to just folder it with the single seat version. That way if you don’t want it you can just skip it.

Yeah I got it after he said that, I wasn’t fully reading you convo when I was talking to Smin about the pepper pot
I’m not aware of all sources used in the aircraft I’m afraid. As I mentioned, we have a team of people working on aircraft research and vast libraries of sources used.
As far as im aware, they were ex RAF and updated by North American (Where the “M” comes from). Likely part of those upgrades.
But I would encourage anyone with info to the contrary to make a report and we can get it reviewed like the engine report.

The main extra consideration there though is then someone else complains about too much “copy paste” if we also duplicate it simply in the US tree hidden in a folder somewhere. So every time we add an aircraft variant, we have to take this into consideration. If its a unique variant to the game, like the F/A-18D was for Japan via Malaysia, It gave that tree something unique, whilst also not taking away from the US tree at the same time.
None the less, as we mentioned back then, we are aware of feedback and desires to still see a US F/A-18D too. So it may have some use in the future.

the problem is that dual seaters actually offer less most of the time by being heavier, having less fuel and generally worse flight performance
another issue would be already foldered vehicles like the F-16A and the 16A ADF
so where would the blk10 F-16B go?
if you put it in between the 16A and the ADF ppl that grind for the ADF will be angry
but why would you put a 12.3 aircraft behind a 13.3 one in the folder
and that whole thing would get even messier if you consider the blk15 f-16b
and then there is also the soviet double seaters as well which in case of the Mig-23 or Mig-29 would be just straight downgrades bc they dont have radars and thus no radar missiles
I think that two-seater variants of single seat aircraft are great premium/squadron/event vehicle options, sadly people tend to get annoyed when those vehicles aren’t unique enough in a gameplay sense
So instead of two-seater “copies” we end up with completely unique vehicles being FOMO or paywalled
flawed search system leaving out israeli f16s

Could give sweden the TF-35 as a prem, would sell like crazy for NE in a squad when we get future mechanics.
Has a different loadouts and could be a lower BR, could also get the TF-35 WDNS to play alongside our current air
TF-35 (are two seaters)
Could pair well having F-35 pre, F-35 WDNS, TF-35 pre, TF-35 WDNS
I never even thought of that, but yeah lol
If a plane is given a unique name it sometimes doesn’t show up when searching for its vehicle family in-game
i didnt screenshot those bc i dont have any of them
Well, at least those show up then
The A28 and J34 don’t show up when searching for Vampire and Hunter respectively for example
edit: this actually bothers me now, like half of the Shermans don’t show up when you search for “M4”, but when you search for “Sherman”, the M4A4 SA50 doesn’t show up
The M-51 doesn’t show up when searching for either one of those terms
New ASB maps? Pyrenees, Falkland Islands, Pradesh, Kamchatka.
ASB maps overhaul? Slightly larger maps from 128² to atleast 160², re-texturing ASB maps.
Fixing bugged ASB lobbies? Ghost lobbies that look like they are active but don’t exist when joined are annoying.
Fixing bugged ASB objectives? Ground objectives stuck in the ground, AI Sabre’s that fly Mach 1.5 that shouldn’t be, etc.
ASB objectives overhaul? AI that fly higher, 6,000m+, 10,000m+ if it’s surveillance, attack/defend train convoy at props to low jet tier, attack/defend refineries/factories that also have AA/SAM sites.
BR fixes, changes for ASB?
Reduce Multi-pathing? 60m to 30m.
Iron dome? Get rid of it or significantly reduce the ability to MCM.
Come on man, make stuff for ASB happen. Sim players have been waiting patient for years on ASB fixes and re-works. The game play has become bland and repetitive, it get’s too boring, too fast.

You can ask for that once they cut the trees down to reasonable sizes
This is still the funniest stuff ever, youd think they would not have the same length in the files, but they do
Spoiler
some other stuff has the same issue
What exactly is the issue there?
the missile length in the files is the same while their missile models very obviously arent the same length

Guess that just stopped being important at some point lol
The Type 81s missiles seem to have the same issue
Smin, sorry to bother you with this, but could you maybe forward these 2 reports?
