Is it just meteor/asraam being integrated, or are air to ground weapons also being integrated?
PW4 and SPEAR iirc

Are the fins too large for integration?
more LM being useless and a PITA to work with

Nope, just that Sidewinders don’t go in the bay on the F-35, the issue is that there isn’t a certified ejector style mount for it (on the F-22, the side bay has a integral hinged mechanism specifically to allow internal carriage of the LAU-7 / -127, and launch the AIM-9M / -9X as per normal )so there is a geometry issue since it’s mounted too deep and would just impact the forward firewall.

I was looking over some Fox documents posted here earlier and found out the Fox is over 400kg overweight ingame, presumably from eating too many chickens, please “i have the same issue” if you can :) ty

tv(?) guided AGM’s though.
Yeah Mavs, iirc IRL the limit is 2, but that’s on the later model with a different AAM arrangement, so this might get 4
I’m still very happy to see it, hopefully we can get the RADAR version later on
So we know what Mavericks it gets?
Britain used Gs, and had clearance for Ds and Es iirc (hence why GR.7 has them), so one/more them
Yay for internal 25mm guns though. Not the draggy 30mm gunpod
The twin sidewinder rail demonstrated on the Hawk T.1 would have been nice
Maybe we’ll get the one with radar and wingtip rails as an Oman premium one day, if Japan’s getting Indonesia and Malaysia

Im wondering if we can get the Aim-9s dropped to Aim-9Gs for a really solid 10.0 rather than a weaker FRS1
I imagine it will be better than the FRS.1 due to the fact it will be a much better sustained dogfighter, also, it wont have the insane IR signature of the Harriers. The ADEN 25s are also amazing guns, much better than the ADEN 30s.
The FRS.1 has great engine power, but loses its speed very quickly which leaves you vulnerable.
I’m hoping its around 10.7 in air and ground, then Britain will get a AGM-65 armed aircraft to support the amazing 10.7 ground lineup which I dont believe we have at the moment.

True, I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Hawk’s flight performance isn’t meant to be spectacular at all either

at a much larger pricepoint, with significantly less availability in god knows how long
14.5°/s STR and 22°/s ITR at sea level with 2 Sidewinders and 60% fuel.
