I personally quite like your idea. I’m gonna have to put some research into Austrian vehicles but I know the Panzer 68 would help plug a hole in German 8.3 ground.

You’d also probably be able to use the Panzer 58 and 61 to help plug the gap left by the removal of the Panther II.

So what is point of this topic, yes i noticed Switzerland is already subtt for Germany. Seriously for what this topic? Austria also can be subtt for Germany.
The topic was made before the swiss subtree was a thing.
So there you got your answer.
Its pretty much only mostly used to discuss swiss/austrian vehicles at this point.
Of course there is a possibility it might become its own in the far far future. But is unlikely

But I don’t see what Swedish planes were used by Switzerland.
Yep, might even help with getting new German players used to playing in lighter vehicles, which is quite a problem at the 7.3-8.0 BR range

I believe your thinking of Austria. Austria used SAAB-105OE, J-29F and J-35 OE MK I and II from what I recall.

tbf, this is the suggestion for alpine, switzerland -austria tree
Yeah but this was in response to dzej specifically talking about Swiss jets.
Indeed, Panzer 57 might be useful in that regard as well. You could add it at Rank V, before the M48.
I think 2 hunters is enough already

Only half true: Some of them (4 out of 8) started their life as one-seaters in the Swedish Air Force, then were transformed into two-seater T.68 in the UK and sold to Switzerland. That’s what I was playing at… ;-)
Here J-4205, first of the four ex-Flygvapnet Hunters turned Hunter Trainer and sold to Switzerland, with me in the passenger seat:

Sorry, I was not aware of the fact that some of the hunters were once J34s
Haha, well it is a very elusive piece of information that a lot of people don’t know. I also learned about it only a short while ago.
But it sure is interesting! = )
Also how come you got to fly in a Hunter? I didn’t know Switzerland still operated them as trainers.
Three two seaters used to be privately owned after leaving air force service and were used for passenger flights. Sadly, by now they have all been sold abroad… = (
The flight was a gift from my parents for my PhD.
The RWR and Flares system of the J35OE mk 2 was develop with a collaboration with the Royal Danish Air Materiel Command FMK. The system is very similar to the on the danish WDNS Draken. In fact, the collab is so similar to the danish WDNS sytem
