mk 4. is basically a Canadian version of the f-86f-25. shares same engine and flight performance.
its main operator was RAF so that cant be premium then. but still possible candidate.
the mk 6 can be a good squadron jet though
dont know how i feel if any should be premium though.
the cl.13s we already have are in other nation as standard though. so don’t want them to be behind a paywall.
Bait used to be believable
Potentially 2xADEN 30mm and either rockets or aim9 would be fairly nice
1 absolutely should be free in the TT, but I wouldnt say no to the other being SQV/Premium. The TT is a little lacking there at the moment. A good solid, 8.7 premium/SQV
Probably best to put the Mk6 in the TT (the better of the two) and then have the Mk4 as the SQV/Premium
Possibly 2x Firestreaks too
so a mk4 for tt? mk 6 as squadron then. maybe make the mk 5 a prem then?
That probably would work. Also the option for one of those spots to be filled by the Mk30 or Mk31 RAAF one, assuming this one is the Mk32
Wouldn’t they all basically have the f86f boosted controll system? Both ca27 and cl13 and the leading edge slats
I’d make the Mk 2 the SQV/Premium, as the UK only had 3 or 4 of them. And even if added under the more numbers, Canadians use the only major change between it and Mk 4 is the cockpit, so not missing out if not tree, also, just due to the UK not using the Mk 6.
That would leave as possible TT options:
RAAF CAC Sabre (CA-27) (confirmed with this blog)
RAF Sabre F.4
SAAF Sabre Mk 6
RACF Sabre Mk 5
Not only does this give both the UK and South Africa one of their Sabres, as TT, it also finally gives Canada one of the Sabres it built after over a decade (something that is overdue).
Is there any Canadian skins for the German one?
no. only canadian skin we got is for the hidden prem f-35 variant in us tree,. the golden eagles.
Ah, did I get my models wrong, thought Britian used Mk4 and Mk6. Woops.
Then yeah, that would be better.
So Mk2 Premium
RAF Mk4 TT
This RAAF Sabre TT
RCAF Mk5 SQV
not sure we really need the SAAF Mk6 as well tbh.
should the mk 6 be sqdn then? leave the mk5 in the tt sub treed with mk 4? i think mk 2 is good canidate for the greek air tree though.
turkish mk 2 as premium though could work. I read that they were upgraded by the British before they were transferred to turkey… most notably was newer wings.
I think one got a Golden Eagles WT live skin added, but I must be misremembering. (sadly, the Wiki doesn’t show unlocable skins)
Is there any of these besides the f86k that had an afterburner? I think that would be great for a unique f86
Gives ZA more aircraft and is better than the Mk 5. (also is currently a sub-tree, unlike Canada, which also gives everyone else more of an argument to be in the tree (even more so as all 3(RAF, SAAF, RAAF Sabres) could be made into their own folder))
As Mk 4 is 8.0, the Mk 2 will be as well
Mk 5 is 8.7
An Mk 6 is 9.0. (tho what ZA used on theirs might affect that.)
(huh, they must have gone down, as lower compared to my tree)
So really depends on what version of the CAC Sabre we get and its BR.
Tho Canadian ones are also not the greatest, as only 2 (3 depending on if the Arrow(s) get all of its possible loadout) aircraft have A2A missiles that aren’t an AIM-4 until the Hornet era, and only one isn’t a prototype missile but an AIM-9B.
Doesn’t Malaysia use this one? Perhaps for Japan as well.
Just because its a sub-TT doesnt mean we need everything.
The SAAF aircraft Id rather see is the Buc S50, would make a good 9.0 premium.
Arrow would be interesting though. I do want to see that in-game, but probably going to be an event aircraft
Google shows everything is largely the same except the engine and weapons, otherwise the chassis remains largely the same. It seems the newer engine allowed for a bit more fuel but cosmetically, the uninformed are going to say it looks like another copy and paste. The game is played by casuals and armchair generals all the same. But if you’re saying its different, then cool beans.
