Heh got reminded of some of my older pictures from 8 years ago, can’t believe the mustang is still missing it’s wing mount torpedos when there’s clear proof right here.

Oh so that’s it, the FCAS is completely dead yet? No big surprise tbh, this couldn’t have worked, the same way France in the eap program couldn’t have worked
DoA let’s be real. Literally no joint program with france and germany ever worked, maybe the jaguar I guess…? The fundamental issue is Germans are Atlanticists on a borderline fanatical level, something France really, really doesn’t like (got out of NATO and got their own Nuclear detterence etc etc) so it always leads to a pointless tug of war. And Germany has zero experience building indigenous modern fighters, but still wants to lead, which is comical. Anyway the same dynamics can be found within the EU which is why I personally believe it’s a worthless project on a death spiral (I also detest it’s neoliberal outlook on literally everything but that’s off topic)

The Alphajet also worked I guess, but on something like main combat fighters France and Germany will never be able to agree on requirements and design choices. As for eu, I don’t really share your view but that’s off-topic (yeah, even here lol, I don’t make the rules sorry) so let’s stick to debating hopeless programs
Jaguar was France + UK
Tornado included Germany, but tbf that was never a good plane
At least the Eurofighter exists?

just calling a spade a spade
tho on the subject of Germany; it made for a better strike aircraft than the F-104

An A-1 would be a better strike aircraft than an F-104
Welp skyraiders served in the indochina and vietnam wars
It’s not surprising that they’re better strike aircraft, they’re from the same era and dedicated to strike unlike the f104
Hit a new milestone today

Flying the meteor MK8 makes me want to die.
That jet is so painful these days with the nonsense compression around 8.0
I agree that the compression between 8.0 and 9.3 is absolutely insane, it’s crazy how 8.3 subsonic gunfighters frequently face 9.3 mach 2 missile slingers.
I also have pretty bad memories from the mystere 2A at 8.0 but that has to do with the fact that I don’t like how the mysteres play
Ayye Cope decals unite
I used Sea Vixen to skip that part of the tree, tbh
He looks abit droopy you should fix that. Maybe let it outside to see the son once in a while.
I’d say 8.0 and beyond
It’s a mess

Yeah I agree they should decompress it all starting at 8.0 all the way up, it’s just that I haven’t gone further than 9.0 yet so can’t tell how bad it is up there
Idk it’s alright around 9.0-10.0, I’d say 10.0-11.0 is probably the most balanced ARB BR at the moment.
8.3 also feels great whenever I fly the A4H or my Vautour, and you can easily defeat missiles with Nords or rocket pods.
Are you telling me that you enjoy flying the vautour?
