uhh, ignore my custom localisation
The British tree has the highest highs and the lowest lows and very little in between.
Ok?
The F-14’s supposed to be a Block 65, but is modeled after a Block 130
The US F-16A’s a nonspecific “Block 10” airframe that lacks the antenna it needs to actually be a Block-10.
The US F-4’Es somehow a non-DMAS airframe, circa '72 armed with Mavericks (let alone the GBU-15)
I could go on but I’m just making the point that if you truly look hard enough practically nothing is actually correct, or lines up in the US tree (outside oddly enough the A-7D which for some reason is practically perfect, outside the AAR-45 LANA pod not needing the A2G radar to be slaved, and not actually being a targeting pod)
I hope it might be F/A-18F (under the name Block I or early) someday
F-4E in mid 80’s post DMAS upgrade ?
I guess on dev server maybe late service and upgrade to Block III standard
Sure, but I’m not really sure that it would be all too unique, If I could only add one more Hornet I’d personally prefer to add a Late USMC F/A-18D, since it has the most significant differences to the ones available to the US at the moment.
Not according to the intended configuration that has been used repeatedly deny reports, which can be seen in the report linked in the prior response.
certainly possible, but for WT all it would mean for now is some changes to the cockpit, and the potential for advanced stores (AGR-20(F), AGM-187A, AGM-158, ?SiAW?, P-JDAM, etc.) in future.
It’s really interesting that a two seat gripen gets added, so easily with what improvements or changes over the regular ones other than having no gun, yet all I’m told is no f18 for lack of difference
We know it will come to the US free eventually.
I could see it coming as a squadron vehicle when 5th gen comes
Eventually, taking the place of something interesting in another update. Kicking the can down the road of vehicles that should have been added upon introduction, that would have taken little effort the first time
Preaching to the choir. I wanted stuff like the East German T-55 and ZSU-23 to come to Germany a long time ago but I’m sure they are saving them for something.
