Are these the jets that will replace the originals?

Harrier, replace the JSF
Eurofighter, replace the F-18
Tornado, replace the F-15

Are the jets going to be replaced?

IMO the should just be removed, but that's just me

reason: there is no possible way to make jet operation even slightly realistic in BF2. Will always remain arcadish. Only aircrafts that could have an interest are the ground attack that fly low and slow. And even then. You don't need jets in game to defend against choppers and Attack aircrafts. A good man portable SAM that has modern features (IFF, efficient tracking, Mach 2+) and that works realistically well in damaging or putting down a plane will do the trick.

If they intorduce British troops then the British/European jets should be added.

But I'm with {GD}geogob and think jets are just annoying and unrealistic.

How about we just put in some B52s and B1s loaded up with JDAMs and let the commander designate the targets. That'd make the game really fun!

Why would the British jets be replacing the American jets?

They're for separate Armed Forces

I hope that they give the marines the AV-8's instead of the JSF, but the british forces will have those jets, the Americans will keep the JSF, F-15 and F-18

I would cry if they replaced the F-35B.

I would not mind varients but I love the handling of the F-35B.

USAF F-35A –air-to-ground strike aircraft, replacing F-16 and A-10, complementing F-22 (1763 aircraft)
USMC F-35B – STOVL strike fighter to replace F/A-18B/C and AV-8B (480 aircraft)
UK RN F-35C – STOVL strike fighter to replace Sea Harriers (60 aircraft)
US Navy F-35C – first-day-of-war strike fighter to replace F/A-18B/C and A-6, complementing the F/A-18E/F (480 aircraft).

If you mean replacing the original in game jets with british variants, i would say leave the JSF as it will be replacing the Sea Harriers anyhow, and also the Tornado GR-7

I dont like that fact that the F-35A is replacing the A-10 and F-16 but i know its for the best, it really does lower the Air Force's aircraft inventory but the F-35 will excel im sure.

But since this mod will include only the vehicles we have now, im sure the F-35 would be taken out.

Ok keep the jets.

Then how about making map 100 square miles with a ceiling of 50000 feets, with real runways (not with hangers and clifs at their end, *sigh*).

Have the damn jets have to fly at least 5 minutes to drop a few guided bombs and go back to reload. Once you have map that big, I consider you'll have a reason for such airplanes.

and no i'm not kidding, joking or being a smacktard. Having multiple jets doing bombing, circling around fighting each other with multiple transport and attack choppers hovering in a 1000 cubic feet area is just... silly.

That map was DC no fly zone.

And i also think i remembered that they made everything, models, landscape etc etc smaller so that the map seemed bigger, perhaps PR could try something like that.

Why can't anyone add the RAH-64 Comanche? OH wait, nm, it was cancelled.
