Unfortunately, War Thunder reflects the globalization we see in real life.
Many nations utilize Leopard tanks due to their quality and cost-effectiveness. The same applies to F-16 aircraft.
Adressing the the REDFOR community, this trend is similar to what occurred with T-72 tanks and MiG aircraft in the past.
Furthermore, enhancing tech trees by “filling gaps” is more advantageous than adhering strictly to nationally produced vehicles.
If the game only featured domestically-built vehicles, we’d be left with just three playable nations in the modern era.
While I’m not fond of duplicate vehicles across nations, I must admit that I switched to playing minor nations because I grew weary of the major powers (jsut too uch vehicles bruh). And feels incredible good to not need to learn a new vehicle over and over again when I do need to grind some boring stuff.
As long as these smaller nations continue to have access to reasonably good vehicles, players can benefit from this diversity to progress through the game while potentially having access to their favorite vehicles.
I mean fine gripen, F-18, F-16 are all export fighters but please its so dumb to have to fight the same exact vehicle ur in, top tier is becoming 3.0-5.7 Ground with the shermans, like, guys at the dev team. Can you kindly atleast start making nato/warsaw(russia and gang)
Then we wont have to subject our brains to, heyyy, another 7 me!
From someone I’ve spoken to, Python 3 could be used by F-16A OCU. While there’re no clear picture that I could found, there were articles mentioned its capability with Python 3.
i would not react that way if they would not have added the gripen c to britain and italian tree before to the swedish, without any reason, and sweden on the same time was denied the good maveric on the gripen a
I wouldn’t call the F-2A to good to be added. Looking at how Gaijin modelled the PESA I don’t see how an AESA would be overpowered. But then again, even if it is, isn’t there a Kfir coming as an event vehicle that has an AESA radar?
The Thai F-5s are unique, the Alpha Jet by the Thais is a unique upgraded variant that has access to AIM-9Ps. Really the only pure copy paste here would be the Gripen and the F-16A OCU but every western nation has an F-16.
