Only the US is the user for the T-7 from Saab and Boeing, I don’t believe anyone else is using it.
Additionally the T-7 would need to undergo structural evaluation. Finland essentially wants their equipment to last for as long as tech from 40k, they essentially are looking for something that’ll live as long as a dreadnaught lol
No one else uses them. also i thought we were talking about replacements for the british hawks not finland. For finland idk when they are replacing them
the british tho might chose the t-7 red hawk. especially since BAE is partnered with Boeing and SAAB for the pitch with domestic assembly for the uk
They seem to be going until around early 2030, that is if they sort out a replacement for them which at the moment seems like it will be the T-7 Red Hawk.
As we already mentioned, the T.1As coming now are not 1:1 the same as the Finnish Hawks. They are different modifications. So they are not planned for now with this batch. Maybe at some point in the future.
Biggest thing is just overall lifetime of the vehicle, it’s why they didn’t choose certain fighters for the HX program like EFT due to wear and tear being a problem.
If the T-7 out performs the Hawk in long term use then it’ll likely be bought.
I only ask since the Finnish air tree has basically had nothing new since the hornets and aside from that they were untouched since they were added in 2022, it would be nice to get some confirmation the devs haven’t forgotten about them for air. Especially since most of us have been waiting for the rest of the Finnish tree since 2 vehicles since it was added is pretty poor.
I know this update isnt even out but are there plans to add more mid line ships in future updates? as cool as the big boats are (and I am happy they are here) I would love to see more late war or unfinished cruisers and destroyers being added to the game
