I mean you managed to misquote me in a pretty important way, I definitely said Leo 2 shouldn’t be in the British tree “yet” and nothing else you quoted seems out of place.
Once the Puma gets Spikes the KF-41 would become pointless anyway and Britain have like 300 Challenger 2s
Except you just said EJ Kai had all of its radar capabilities & AAM pylons filled.
EJ Kai’s radar was fully functional, being the first ever F-16 radar in WT.
And since that F-16 radar has a CWI it can fir AIM-7Es & E-2s, thus the loadout is still available even if IRL it was not equipped.
As I said previously, it does not matter if IRL nations equipped the loadouts or not, it only matters if they’re capable of them.
Gaijin will introduce AESA radars at the same exact time they’ll introduce XF-2. That’s their known behavior, any deviation would be a change of behavior.
Same with limited armament, leaving AAM pylons empty would be a change of behavior.
Underestimating AESA’s strength at making SARHs more powerful shouldn’t be understated.
And we still don’t know if notch zones exist.
Yes, F-2 will be the first AESA aircraft, facing against conventional radars until F-16 Block 60 is added.
I mean if you want to believe what are essentially conspiracy theories of Gaijin lying about britian not being a commonwealth tree over actual proof from Smin be my guess, but I prefer to go wirh proven claims.
