Not just to do with the name. The RN Fleet Air Arm had been flying an older generation of aircraft than the RAF for around 20 years. The airframe of the FRS1 Sea Harriers first came out in the 1970s, then some were mid-life upgraded into the FA2 standard for the RN, with a few new-builds of the same airframes brought in later. The first joint-venture Harrier II's (US AV-8B / UK GR5) entered service in 1985/1987.

EA and dice based they equipment on the same lines you did and look at the mess they made there.

"a humvee is armored, so the passages will be safe from small arms fire, but these back seats are boring "
"i know we'll take the boot off and put well leave every one toting guns out the back as its cool!!!"

thats not the point , the point is that russian aircraft are the best looking in the world
