im not serious about wanting GE for every US vehicle in another tree. but people are so against US getting munitions tested on our own aircraft, when those same people are perfectly fine with entire families of aircraft getting spammed to other trees. is that not parasitic behavior by its dictionary definition?
Maybe the US shouldn’t export so much equipment so this wouldn’t happen, that doesn’t make the nations receiving that equipment “parasites”

That is more a problem for Lockheed or General Dynamics than for us.
They sold things to us, we operated them, then we get it on our tech tree
If you wanted to have export-built vehicle
You should’ve convince congress and import it just like how Harrier went.
Calling customers as parasite feels quite rude ig.

But all he want is that meteor that was tested/integrated on F-35 should also be given to US F-35 in future. Though him calling other nations parasite nation was wrong but he has a valid point (about US receiving meteor for F-35)
in real life obviously no since they pay for it, ingame yes
congrats on comparing real life to WT
dont want that unless US actually used it a good amount, I want some weapons tested on American aircraft but thats too much apparently despite all the US stuff they get

its even funnier when they get weapons only used by the US because “compatibility” but the US ones never get any foreign weapons

Ok then, if that makes them parasites, lets look T the export stuff the US has, might surprise you to know how much there actually is
M728 APDS
Spitfire
B-57 canberra
Harrier
The various captured aircraft from other nations
Oerlikon 35mm kda
40mm bofors
Are there any im missing here
Ah yes the Iranian f-14

all were used quite a bit by the US except for the captured aircraft (which im against). remind me how many RAF squadrons have flown Hornets or F-111C’s?
literally a US fighter going to the correct tree

so much hypocrisy from them lol
- The UK owns and operates both. U.S. getting it bc “muh tests” screams special treatment and ignores reality. Lastly, it’s not likely that we’ll even see it in-game (on the F-35) there is no other designation to differentiate normal vs clipped wing missile, so Meteors probably won’t be added there.
IF it did, then yes, it’s a U.K. (and Italy?) F-35-exclusive because these nations use both.
- Ngl, if nations received weapons they rejected irl it’d be even more of a mess, so GL with that logic.
TBH mate, my interest in this convo stopped because you kept shifting goal posts lol.
Point is:
- Our missile
- Our jet
- ???
- GB/whoever else in Europe (probably just Italy) F-35 gets Meteor, USA make-do’s with its whatever missiles
Gosh… it’s JAS39E and MICAs all over again…

As yes i knew id forgotten something, dm33 on the stingray and the APDS on the xm800t
Well, if we consider you lads eventually cut the contracts. I am leaning more to not giving it.
But well, in the name of technical compatibility, his take itself has plausibility.
Meanwhile, if you lads really need to get ASRAAM, I reckon there should be at least an update gap should be exist to give it.
Giving AIM-132 in the same update as UK TT would be controversial.
Especially when he called other nations which got US vehicles parasites. :/
I do not fully agree with this idea but if we really need to
There should be a slight delay before giving ASRAAM to the US.
Just like ROC took extra months to get their mirage, or how we took extra months to get canadian hornets.
Two update gap would be fine? (Hornet sting → Tusk Force)

that is fair, i think the US can wait at least 2 updates or more before any ASRAAM tested US vehicles get them since we will have an alternative
lmao
what was the gap between ah mk2 getting added and it getting JAGM-MRs that havent been exported and it shouldnt be able to use?

IIRC 1 update, though I may be wrong
nope iirc it had them on launch
how am I shifting goalposts, weapon tested & technical compatibility are both valid for addition. the US has the F-35B and obviously has put Meteor in its F-35B as you can clearly see in pictures.
whatever happened to
wouldnt it be more balanced for the US F-35B to get Meteor as well? the US getting meteor on its F-35B is a problem but UK/IT getting AIM-120D and Meteor isnt?
You are in error, where is this aim-120d in italy, i dont see it
the missile is already integrated onto the F-35 and Italy was approved so it would very likely get it
Right, so you said in game, so what aircraft in the Italian tree is currently equipped with it
