Add the F-80A-1 to the tech tree

The F-80-5 currently existing in the game, which is the paid version, is an improved model of the F-80A-1. We can definitely create the F-80A-1 as a base model to enter the tech tree.

Improvements of the F-80A-5 compared to the F-80A-1 are as follows:

  1. Engine
    Equipped with the J33-A-17 engine, thrust increased from 3,850 lbs to 4,000 lbs, resulting in slight improvements in acceleration, climb, and top speed performance.
  2. Air intake design
    Added boundary layer splitter plates and optimized intake airflow for better stability at high speeds.
  3. Exterior structure
    Landing light moved from below the nose to the front landing gear strut, giving the nose a cleaner appearance.
  4. Fuel supply system
    Optimized fuel piping, improving fuel supply reliability and slightly enhancing actual endurance and loiter capability.
  5. Exterior paint
    Standard batch paint changed from olive green to all-metal finish.
  6. Flight characteristics
    After engine and intake optimization, overall maneuvering response and high-speed handling are superior to earlier batches.

It is recommended to use the existing F-80A-5 model as a base for fine-tuned replication to create the F-80A-1 variant. The key modifications are as follows:

  1. Replace the J33-GE-11 engine parameters, reducing thrust to 3,850 pounds to match the original performance.
  2. Remove the boundary layer splitter structure in the intake.
  3. Relocate the landing light back to under the nose.
  4. Adjust the fuselage paint to an olive drab scheme.
  5. Slightly reduce endurance and high-speed handling characteristics to reflect batch differences.

And it does not affect the gaming experience of paying players at all, because the basic version of the F-80A-1 is weaker.

The US does not need another jet that carries twice the payload of everyone else while also outturning its competition.

Perhaps that’s indeed the case, and the Meteor is more powerful. A few years later, after the UK becomes independent, we can then introduce the F-80A-1.

It can also be reduced to 500 pounds instead of 1000 pounds.

I mean:
F-80A-1: Free, slightly weaker in performance than F-80A-5, 500-pound bomb
F-80A-5: The current paid package

Agreed, and give p47 1000 lbs instead of 500 one

It won’t happen, that’s for sure and has been stated many times. So just buy the premium one and calm down.
