User blog comment:Awyman13/What DICE should Put in Future DLC for Battlefield 3/@comment-4210490-20120705194854/@comment-98.182.39.178-20120707010546

Why have the F-15E if you could have the F/A-18F? We already have the F/A-18E, and the F was used in campaign. It also couldn't be too hard to model in a Flanker-C if we have the Flanker-E. Pretty much just duplicate the model, cut the cockpit section and extend it.

But then bombs.... bye bye anything on the ground! MAA would then need a buff to keep the playing field even, and even if these guys had afterburners, they'd have to be slower than the designated fighters to be balanced for the extra payload.
