According to the information the developers have, the early model did not have RWR. The manual could have been retrospectively updated. So we would need some confirmation that the early model indeed had it too.
As the report confirmed, the developers consider it currently as an early model.
The visual model is that of an early. As has already been pointed out in this topic.
Currently there is nothing to suggest the countermeasures could not have been retrofitted, much like with the F-5E. Whereas RWR does require the physical model change.
So unless concrete information can be reported to remove the countermeasures showing it was not possible in an early model with 100% certainty, its unlikely they will be removed.
BRs can be changed depending on how the vehicle does. It is a dynamic system, not fixed.
If the information is presented that proves the early model could not in any form fit countermeasures, then we will forward that for consideration.
Skins are not indicative of the spesific variant and are mostly just for cosmetic purposes. Lots of vehicles have skins that are not reflective of their spesific variant.
It's not currently considered to change the existing model as it requires a model rework. You are welcome to submit a suggestion for the late model.
Skins are not the same thing as a actual 3D part of the model. The skins given to the F-8E also do not have RWR modelled. The two matters are not to be confused.
RWR requires a 3D model change. Its nothing to do with the skin.
You are welcome to submit a report on any inaccuracies you have information to support and we can forward them to the devs for review.
As I previous said, it would not fall under a historical report. But a suggestion.
You would need to make a suggestion topic to change the F-8E to late or add the F-8E late as a separate aircraft.
