As the guy who made that suggestion for the AML-30 (RARDEN), I’m not sure if calling it a ‘sidegrade’ is accurate.
Early variants of second/third gen fighters:
F-4A (F4H-1F) (no gun, probably 9.7 now with the sparrow buff):
Spoiler
F-8A (F8U-1) (no countermeasures, probably limited to AIM-9B, most likely 9.7):
Spoiler
Early MiG-23 (10.3 probably?):
Spoiler
Mirage IIIA or IIIC early (limited to AIM-9B and R511, probably 9.3):

Same here hopefully I can write my suggestions for mounted troops, chemical weapons, military dogs and robots (everyone wants a robot dog for the holidays!).
Apparently Humanoid Battle Droids are in the pipe for China (nothing to show yet but AI slop but there is reports there doing intense R&D) You can always trial your suggestion in the Work in Progress and ask a mod to grandfather them in they likely will be nice enough to do so just so day 02 there is something to send to the Devs at the end of the month.
There is dog drones in Active Matter so surely it’s in the plans.

F7U Cutlass:
(One of, if not the most unique-looking and also deadliest to fly jets of all time)
Seeing how they also recently buffed the early Sparrow missile for the F3H-2 Demon, well, hehehe, might be a pretty good time to add it.
Add F7U-1 and F7U-3M as a folder and call it

no chance we should see that
The ground pounder Cutlass
Vought model U-389 aka A2U-1
There not a lot of photos beyond a single picture of the tail of BuNo 138372 planned as the XA2U-1 prototype before it’s cancellation.
Preliminary work was already underway to enhance the design through various stages moving it setting it increasingly apart from it’s F7U origins.
Testing had begun on the revised wing for the A2U-2 before the entire program was shelved.

With plans for cargo helicopter roles being announced some dedicated cargo helicopters would be amazing to see in-game.
CH-47F
ACH-74A
CH-53E
Mi-17

Yes but the with a better engine and more suited for cargo transport.
This one’s actually Mi-8AMTsh which we already have in game (not the same configuration though). Export designation for this heli would be Mi-171sh.

Yeah I had just noticed that and swapped it already.
