I think if it were to be included it would have to be the F4 or FR5 version. The F1 and F2 were too problematic and unsuited to their role. Not so much of an issue in AB but certainly in RB and SB.

 

Besides, the FR5 could carry ground ordinance and could come with 79 Sqns markings, pretty neat. 

 

I dont think its any secret that the Brits could do with some reinforcements at the higher levels. Swift, Seahawk, Scimtar and Javelin for me. 

 

You do realize those had afterburners, missiles and performance above tier 5 standards don't you?

 

The F.1 and F.2 may have had many issues in real life, but in War Thunder those would not exist. They are the ones most suited for tier 5.

[TeeGee111@psn 21]

I thought it was the F7 that carried missiles? 

 

The F4 had the variable incidence tailplane and only 2x 30mm Adens, as did the FR5.

They both had the afterburner fitted but it was prone to lighting issues at high altitudes. Think with the cleaned up canopy, lengthened nose and limited ground stores, the FR5 would fit nicely. Yeah it's top speed and climb rate are very competitive with its peers but it carries nowhere near the offensive punch of an FJ4 or Mystere IV.

 

Regardless, I always thought the Swift looked purposeful, whereas the Hunter had a grace about it.

I would love to see this as well as the Folland Gnat.

I'm not sure tbh.

You know the performance of it is still on par with what would be an upcoming entry tier 6 jet right? Its performance exceeds the standards of a top tier rank 5 jet. We cannot ask for it for tier 5.

 

The only Swifts fitting for tier 5 are the F.1 and F.2

Yes only the F.7 was fitted with anti-air missiles, 4x Fireflash AAM to be exact, all other combat variants were only able to carry 2x 1,000 bombs or 8x (maybe 16x can't remember) RPs.

And yes, anything beyond the F.1 and F.2 is tier six material, while not increasing much in speed (still subsonic), the reheat would give them formidable rate of climb.

Though I'd have to double check which variants had reheat, the FR.5 and F.7 definitely did, the F.1 and F.2 didn't (except a single F.1 prototype, but didn't perform well), F.4 possible as it did hold the air speed record for a while, don't remember much of the F.3 unfortunately.

This is the perfect contemporary for the Hunter to be the peak of the British jet line.  +2 for the F.1 and F.2.  I'd place them after the Meteors as the capstone to the Supermarine/Gloster line.  

 

Thank you for a very well-researched suggestion!

I would like to see this push for the F.1 Scimitar Specially with the announcement for including the FJ-4B with AGM-12 for the US tree through the Operation Summer Event.

 

The Scimitar, G.91, Super Mystere B.2 (unsure of first Russian AGM carrying aircraft that would fit)

The AGM-12 doesn't justify the Super Mystere and Scimitar coming to rank 5, their performance is beyond tier 5's standards

I understand that and would imagine seeing them as entry into Tier 6 Aircraft, that are Just barely Subsonic/Transonic (in-around 1180-1200km/hr)

 

There are a number of aircrafts avaliable for every nation that had these Manual Control AGM's so I'd love to see that flushed out across the tree's

I also want to see them with those missiles but at rank 6

Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
