For database purposes, is there any differences in using a Block10/20 Global Hawk versus a separate BAMS entry? From what I can tell, it's a navalized G-Hawk, but no distinct differences jump out at me. I have an HoA scenario almost 90% done, but just wanted to eke out as much authenticity as possible. Thanks

Thanks. I see Northrop made the announcement today. From what I can tell, Block 10 now comes in two-tone! From a sensor state, the USAF G-Hawk is already omniscient in many ways, the wide swath it's surface radar cuts exposes a lot, and the ECM hits you get while airborne is really helpful. I'm wondering if it's too much of a game balance changer for my scenario.
