No inside knowledge but seems likely it with tech and operational trends known in the open world I think there’s still a place for a traditionally sized fighter with pilot/crew but to be relevant it probably would need to be built specifically to always or almost always operate with CCAsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large to medium probably 1 to 4.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
