Pre-order: Hawk 209

[SirinKaslana]

I’ll be looking forward to buying this pack next year when its on sale.

Any chance we’ll see the South African Hawk 120s?

British Aerospace Hawk 203: The Desert Hawk goes Hunting

poll [image] BAE Hawk 203 Hello and welcome to my suggestion for the Hawk 203! The version of the Hawk 200 designed to be exported to the Royal Air Force of Oman. I feel this has a strong precedent to come to game as it is a mainstay of the RAFO and is also the Hawk 200 with the strongest connection to the UK. History

Spoiler

In the Late 80s it was clear that the RAFOs ageing Hunters were nearing complete obsoletion, their airframes were worn and their weapons systems were completely outdat…

Hawk 203 for Britain might be nice

[MAUSWAFFE]

And shortly after, another!

@Stona_WT

all-aspect AIM-9P-4 air-to-air missiles

Were AIM-9P-5 also considered? It might be interesting to see them, maybe on a future Hawk 109 in the techtree.

Yaaaay, a Hawk touh 9 copy paste for Japan. Announcing this right after the Q&A is wild.

[SirinKaslana]

Copy/Paste isn’t bad. Without it a lot of nations wouldn’t have vehicles or complete lineups.

[PlayedStatue626-live]

It varies in weaponry and the variant is exclusive to Indonesia so I wouldn’t call it copy paste

[Pangolin_Fan]

It’s bad when it’s completely unnecessary. Japan does not need the hawk tuoh 9

[SirinKaslana]

It served with the Indonesian Airforce and Japan doesn’t have a Premium rank VII aircraft anymore. Therefore they do in fact, need it.

[Pangolin_Fan]

No, they really don’t NEED it. Gajin coulda added something unique, or at least significant in the nation’s history.

[Grzegames]

I wonder if Japan will ever get its training planes…
(probably not)

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Premium bruh

[SirinKaslana]

To Japan? Japan doesn’t have anything from the jet age at that BR that could’ve been a premium lmao
Get over yourself

[Savage_SRC]

Heh, it does. It will simply be the very last unique jet (or one of the few very last) as a domestic option. And even then it is gonna be an early EJ phantom with no SARHs and/or F-1 with AIM-9Ls and zero countermeasures.

But yeah, all in all, Japan itself has zero truly unique and premium-worthy content for pre-top tier air.

Sadly Hawk 209 is a unique plane for Indonesia and game overall, but still a more welcome addition that a yet another phantom

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Copypaste doesn’t do any harm, it’s just unnecessary sometimes but the Hawk is a cool jet so it’s fine

[Pangolin_Fan]

A single copy paste doesn’t do harm. Constant copy paste spam does.

[WreckingAres283]

How is a Hawk variant, exclusively operated by Indonesia, a copy paste?

Even the Malaysian one wouldn’t be C&P if added now as TT one.

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Yeah but you can’t complain everytime, you gotta focus on the bad stuff. This jet is cool and it’s a good thing that Japan gets it. And as Ares said it would even be cool to get another one with Malaysia

[Sex-Bad]

will we get a tech tree counterpart of equal or better performance?

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Hopefully the 208, idk how it compares though
