I don’t care what faces what cause BRs balance things.
I only care about clutter [game size] and the current rules of adding vehicles being followed.
I don’t want private/aggressor aircraft in War Thunder cause it doesn’t add anything of substance.
What is a Mig-29 in USA going to do? Offer an inferior F-16C assuming it’s even armed with missiles which it might not be since it’ll be an aggressor; which means its old fire control system can be gone and replaced with a fire control system specifically for training.

I don’t mind the USSR getting NATO vehicles
No one asked for private vehicles to be added and aggressor vehicles are of substance and many nations have vehicles classified as aggressors. Mig 29 is one of the vehicles America had definitive amounts of buying over 15+ of them through shell companies from the former soviet state of Moldova. They along with many captured vehicles were taken and tested in a variety of ways to get information about their capabilities. Yes, some of the time the plane would have been examined and retrofitted with familiar equipment and gauges instead. Whether or not they bought the missiles with them from Moldova is unknown but does it matter if the period equivalent Aim 9 would be strapped to it ~ around 1997?

I mean, Russia would have absolutely no reason to have any of those where Italy would because Hungary operated Russian aircraft and Italy doesn’t have good indigenous options.
Sweden has a Finnish subtree and also a lack of indigenous vehicles and some basis to have some Russian aircraft added.
In my post I said USA doesn’t need them for the same reason Russia doesn’t need any help in this regard, so having things like Flankers in the British tree and Swedish tree and Mig 29s in Italy, and Britain as well make sense, wheras those same planes in the US tree don’t.
Additionally, for certain reasons, they would absolutely not be adding a Ukrainian subtree anywhere in the game.

There are still missing aircraft from their tree that could fix many issues while actively making the tree more unique.
The Italian air tree is a shadow of what it could be.

except if they are going to add T-90A Trophy (that olivia leaked to US) then they can also add something like tested centauro 105/120 or the proposed centauro with russian 125mm gun aswell freccia that was tested hell even captured cv90 and bradley as Trophy could be allowed thanks to the Trophy reason

I was exclusively talking about air here,
USA does need help in ground right now, and I would agree that doing something like this instead of buffing the Abrams tanks protection is the wrong solution and a bit silly.
I’d say make ufp shatter shells again and and give all M1a2 Sep variants DU hull inserts anyways even if only the Sep V3 definitely had them, this wouldn’t be their first time using semi-historical modeling to fix balance issues and I’d much prefer that over the US tree needing T series tanks and leos to be competitive.

I don’t want leos in the US tech tree, we don’t them, I would much rather have the arietes then the Leos
No!..In the USSR/Russia-there is also a “captured technique”-as you wrote …
Briefly…
- Кубинка в 80-е - Andrei-bt — LiveJournal
and also…“Super-Sherman” M51HV/“Sho’t Kal”/ “Magah-5”/ “Magah-6”/AMX-13(from Algeria)/M113
- From the latter -for example (AMX-10RC/CV-90/Bradley and so on)…I would like to have an AMX-10RC in the Soviet branch (there is no wheeled tank in the Soviet branch, especially with a thermal imager at this level of Combat Rating…

I would say yes, but only if it would be a niche thing. Giving America something like the MiG-29 or Su-27, despite them using it, would undermine the actual MiG-29/Su-27 in the tree that it is from. Maybe something like the Me 262, since it would be more gimmicky than anything in the US tree (why use it over the F-80) but not something that’s outright good like the King Tiger or MiG-23MLD (that’s the one at the museum). Gimmick vehicles maybe, but not something that would upset balance extremely.
Ie. Me 262, Panzer IV, StuG, maybe? T-54, maybe? But not something that is the “top dog” of the country it is from like the MiG-21/23/29 or Su-27, or King Tiger.
Besides the precedent this would set is for everyone to get everything, and in some sense it would ruin the asymmetry of combat that makes the game what it is. No one likes to fight their own vehicle.

US air suffers so much because people are unable to make difference on how to use a P-38, a F-4U and a P-47,…
It suffers because people are bad,… the quality of gameplay have fell to the ground,… and now they’re starting to dig in with their Jet engines.
–>i want for proof the number of Jets Players that are still crashing at takeoff,…
This is completely wrong to think that the problem is vehicule based,…
But don’t get me wrong → this is the same problem for EVERY other Nations in the game today.

I think he was being sarcastic
I think that i’m not having tone when reading ^^"
hey if the Soviets got an F-5 I would not mind it, also, I never said “captured technique”
You mean a F-22 right ^^"
Yes and no, America is already a large tree, America did test most of these, one example is the Messerschmitt P.1101, but just because they tested it doesn’t mean it should be added, although some nations have had exceptions, like Sweden, who gets the Strv 105, AH-64A, Mi-28A, and the CV 90120 which were only tested, never used. So in short, some of these, but definitely not all.

Actually it’s a T-90A and yes it’s pretty likely to come actually, we’ve seen it on multiple leaks

The part people are confused on, I believe, is the full name being “T-90A (Trophy).”
Whether this means Trophy APS or like a trophy tank, as in “put it on display, we got their tank lmao” kinda thing, not really sure. If I had to guess, the second option is more likely
Could also mean a trophy as in a reward vehicle for an in game event or something, but I doubt that

The fact that people are not shooting this down and actually talk about this seriously makes me disappointed and saddened.
