Got a question
Wondering what the opinions are on the weapons systems that got cancelled in the real world like the F-20, A-12, A-6F, A-6G, EE-T1, AMX-40, for example. Do they exist in your universe and to what degree?

F-16F, F-20 (USANG), and A-6F are all in my universe with the US. Also, the A-7F was built, and it was flown by the USAFR and Spain. The F-18E and F were built, with Spain and the USN/USMC flying the F-18E, with limited numbers of F-18Fs (200) delivered by 1997 (USN - 150, Spanish AF - 50). Top scoring Spanish ace flew F-18E and number 2 was a F-18F crew.
AMX-40 was built and in service with Mexico, Spain, and the French Foreign Legion. Mexico began licensed production in 1994 and Spain in 1995. Mirage 4000 is flown by France and in service with Mexico, Qatar, and UAE. Various versions of the LAV-75 are in service along with the M-8. Also, the M2A3 and M3A3, a new M-1A3 as well as the M-1A4 "Giraffe", Leopard III, the Corsair by the Brits (CIH variant of the Challenger II), and T-93 (the game's T-90) as well as the T-95 (advanced model of the T-93 ~800) and the T-94 "Black Eagle" (less than 500).

Case by case decision.
Some were cancelled IRL due to political reasons, some financial, some because they just couldn't work. Some, such as the flame thrower armed aeroplane were just stupid.

The A-6F and M-8 AGS exist in my universe (the latter in place of the LAV-75),

IIRC, we have a couple of threads devoted to discussing weapon systems that were on the drawing board or in prototype/demo phase during the late Cold War, some of which became reality IRL, and some that didn't (the G11, for example).
I'll try to dig one up and merge it with this thread.

I run a modern MERC-Style campaign set in Africa so if it's around today, I allow it.
