I´m not sure if will be USAF or AAF...
The reasons, to use this type of aircraft into a modern war are very simple.
The Super Tucano are a joint development of EMBRAER and Brazilian Air Force to a light, cheap, simple and easy to maintain but still using advanced avionics and weapons.
To use in assimetryc conflicts like the Afhegan, Lybia, Mali, Iraq, Iemen, South America and anothers with low intensity and low technology enemy they are equally effective than a F16 or Rafale, by a fraction of cost.
I had seen pictures of Mirages F1 at Mali conflict with two Mk82..
The Super Tucano can fly the same mission expeding much less money.
Some questions..
That Super Tucano leased to Blackwater stills in US ?
The Imminet Fury program has died ?
Super Tucano don´t have classified avionics or specs..
Will be a greate DCS product! :megalol::megalol::megalol:
