I just want my dang Kfir. I'm genuinely super excited for it, as I've been waiting for it ever since I first started playing

So do I, I think it's pretty obvious considering my profile pic

Looking forward to seeing this in the new Israeli tree.

I am curious, i haven't found much info around, could the kifir carry any SARH missiles? the closest I've found were photos of colombian kifir c10's armed with Derby ARH missiles (which are irrc based on the python).  and pythons. Is it going to be competitive at 11.3 with just Aim-9g's, even with the apparently pretty good performance?  Python 3's might be just too strong atm though.

As far as I'm aware the only Kfir variants that were able to carry anything other than fox 1s were from the Kfir C.10 / Kfir 2000 and onwards and those added the capability for the Derby missiles, not fox 2 of any kind. This shouldn't really come as a surprise since the Kfir mainly supplemented the F-15s which were also in service alongside it and when you already have those available there's not really a need for the Kfir to have SARH missile capability. that being said the C.7 will stay meta relevant in the future as it can have access to AIM-9L and Python 3, and this is also true for the C.2 variant (which is the aircraft that this suggestion thread is for) except that the C.2 could only carry 2 AA missiles.

Funny how the C.7 variant was added before the C.2, isn't it?

Well, I can kind of see why, the C.2 could only carry 2 AA missiles so it would be pretty difficult to balance. I'm sure we will get it once all aspect missiles become a thing.

Seems to be coming to the game now

As the Kfir C-2 has been implemented during the Battle for Arachis event,
