−	The B-variant was the most numerous version produced with 120 being procured by the [[Sarconian Air Force]]. The type featured new re-designed vertical stabilizers with rudders instead of the all-moving stabilators which increased yaw stability in all envelopes of flight. It also featured 2 centerline hardpoints ~~for 2 additional ARM-60B-5 missiles or a 250-unit drop tank~~ and a prototype indium oxide cockpit coating.

−	The EX-37 Kamino is a 5.5-generation stealth air superiority fighter. The EX-37 has a tailed compound delta wing blended into the fuselage with a pair of vertical stabilizers. Flight control surfaces include flaperons/elevons, ailerons, rudders on the canted vertical stabilizers, and all-moving horizontal tails (stabilators). The EX-37's aerodynamics, relaxed stability, advanced thrust-vectoring engines, and Advanced Flight and Engine Control System(ADECS) give the E-37 excellent maneuverability and high alpha characteristics. The ADECS allows the aircraft to fly at alpha in excess of 60° while maintaining full control, making the aircraft very departure-resistant.	+	The E-37 Kamino is a 5.5-generation stealth air superiority fighter.

The aircraft's thrust-to-weight at typical combat weight is roughly 1.1 at max military power, 3.0 in afterburner, and as high as nearly 4.94 in certain conditions.

	The B-variant was the most numerous version produced with 120 being procured by the [[Sarconian Air Force]]. The type featured new re-designed vertical stabilizers with rudders instead of the all-moving stabilators which increased yaw stability in all envelopes of flight. It also featured 2 centerline hardpoints for 2 additional ARM-60B-5 missiles or a 250-unit drop tank and a prototype indium oxide cockpit coating. All were retrofitted to the subsequent D-variant later on.		The B-variant was the most numerous version produced with 120 being procured by the [[Sarconian Air Force]].

	The C-variant featured the biggest change in the design. It featured a radar-absorbant coat, a 6-hardpoint internal rotary weapons bay, the A/FAQ-13 targeting pod, the A/FCQ-32 electronic warfare suite, the integration of Precision Attack Munitions(PAM-82/83), as well as many software changes. The typical mission loadout of 6 air-to-air missiles was a decrease from the 10 on the B-variant but was deemed acceptable due to the significant increase in capability. 40 were produced with 20 being retrofitted B-variants.

	The E-37C+ was a proposed stealthier upgrade to the existing C-variants which included a 15° increase in the angle of the vertical stabilizers, as well as an improved radar-absorbent coating. It never entered service due to the proposed increase in maintenance cost and decreased yaw stability.

	The D-variant features a re-designed weapons bay, the A/FAQ-27 electro-optical targeting system, the A/FCQ_36 electronic warfare suite, and the integration of the Precision Glide Munitions(PGM-62/63) and the ARM-240 ATAM. The type is also updated with the latest Battlefield Integrated Awareness datalink system. The re-designed weapons bay replaces the inefficient and complex rotary bay, with 4 separate weapons bays. The 4 weapons bays decreased maintenance costs and allowed the aircraft to carry up to 8 air-to-air missiles, 6 500kg bombs, or 12 250kg bombs internally. 90 were produced for the SAF and RHAF and all previous variants were retrofitted.
