I think the PC-7 makes little sense in any line, actually, to small the weapons options.
It’s a trainer with a bit of COIN role in some cases (Mexico, for example, where the usage of PC-7 against insurgents in 1994 led to quite a big debate in Switzerland about weapons exports), but where would it fit without being completey out of place?!?
(And this from me who grew up literally next to were they were built…)
I believe that the PC-7 is viable, in my tree I have it as an attack aircraft at rank 2 BR 2.3 since it carries 4x 7.62x51mm FN Herstal Machine Gun, bombs and rockets

I personally think any COIN/trainer aircraft made beyond 1950 should be kept away from tier 4 and roughly 4.3. Unless they are added to the heli tree or are desperately needed to fill a tree.
Unless it’s jet stuff like SK.60 of course

And yet it was only used by the Italian air force under the serial number of 32-16. The aircraft was indeed made for a sale pitch to switzerland, but no swiss pilots ever touched it as the aircraft made only a flight in switzerland for demonstration with an Italian pilot. For all it’s life time it remained in Italy under the Italian air force, so in the part were You said “It was never intended for the Italian air force”, you are actually wrong since most of the Italian new prototypes are bought by the Italian air force (just look at the MB326G and K). You cannot give the YS to this tech tree it doesn’t have a place inside it.

regarding the overall tt idea, +1, even if it seem that gaijin doesn’t like much the idea of pan nations/alliances

Hey guys, I’ve got some bad news. There is too much text in the Suggestion and it is not uploading due to the 96,000 character limit. So I’m trying to convert the image file to imgur to make some space for the text. This will take quite some time and I can’t guarantee whether I’ll be able to update again after this update. I think this update will be the last update. :(
The update is complete!
Fokker C.IX, EFW N-20.11, Hawker Hunter T.68, and Dassault Mirage IIIRS C.70 have been added. The Hawker Hunter T.68 also performed training and interception missions, but its main mission was electronic warfare, so if electronic warfare functions are added to War Thunder, it will become a very interesting premium aircraft.

What’s a Mirage IIIRS C.70?
I know the aircraft very well (it’s AMIR, btw. MIRO is the IIIS), having been on the board of Mirage verein Buochs, a club who owns Mirage IIIRS R-2109.
I just wondered about the C.70 name…

I thought the MIRO nickname was also used for the Mirage IIIRS.
The C.70 is an upgrade to the original Mirage III(R)S with canards, RWR and countermeasure launchers.
MIRO is the official codename for the Mirage IIIS that Flugzeugwerke Emmen gave in 1966

+1, I support it, but as a Regional addition to Germany.

The Alpine Ground TT is currently on pending. As I will be very busy over the next month, I decided that I could no longer delay writing the suggestion. So I boldly deleted several minor parts (insignia, camouflage, etc.) from the tech tree suggestion. From now on, I will focus on updates to the two alpine TTs rather than TT suggestions. I will try to update at least once every 1.5 months. Thanks for your interest. :)

Instant +1 from me, Mirage IIIS C.70 and Swiss F-5E Tiger II are two very much wanted additions for me. Would grind this tree out for those two planes alone

Yeah, what I’d however also especially love to see are the indigenous projects P-16 and N.20.

Those are both very interesting aircraft, which I’d love to see as well!
If I remember right, Nova is working on the P-16

I have a hunch that Alpine tech tree it’s not independent tech tree but it might sub tree for germany tech tree
