] Seems Taiwan wants to acquire Rafale fighters to replace its aging Mirage 2000-5s due to the pressure from Beijin. May be a good news for chinese tec-tree in game since rafale is already there and gaijin can just move it into the queue? link: Taïwan souhaite acquérir des Rafale pour remplacer ses Mirage 2000-5 vieillissants - Valeurs actuelles

Certainly not in the near future as it runs into same issues as with swedens accquisition of SLM - devs need to be certain that vehicle/weapon system has already entered service, or its entering service.
Cant imagine Rafale being added only for the tender not go through at all. How would gaijin even solve such issue lmao.

Agree on this. If a playerbase is so adamant about not sharing domestic designs to export customers then they shouldnt get exports themselves

China pressures Taiwan
That pressure forces Taiwan to search for more advanced fighters
(hopefully) Buys Rafale
China gets Rafale into it’s tech tree
Was it all an advanced scheme from Beijing to finally get meta fighters in War Thunder ??

i heard china is training pilots/AI to fly planes using war thunder players apparently
The Taiwanese did support the VT4 to be implemented into the Japanese tech tree, though. Not the Chinese. So the Rafale techinally can be added. no?

Really Valeurs Actuelles as a source ? Wtf is wrong with you, at this rate we’ll see the su75 as the next remplacement for the eurofighter in germany
This source is bad, but the original source is interview of dassault ceo at assemblee nationale.
Personally, I don’t think it should recieve. It’s not suitable and on top of that is not needed; there’s two case scenarios that I could understand from adding vehicles to a tech tree that isn’t its own: quota and necessity: examples are FSAF SAMP/T (Italy, which is a necessity to make Italian anti-air line more competitive) and Leopard 2s NL (France, which is a quota because of the BeNeLux sub-tech tree, not needed since France had, and now has the largest number of battle rating 12.0 vehicles).
China, as tech tree do have a lot of competitive vehicles to use and at the same time, both China and Taiwan has more appropriate domestic or not units to be added. American tech tree nowadays is completely optional to research planes since it’s all over the place, and I’m afraid this will be the case with ground vehicles (i.e. Australian M1A2 SepV3 for Great Britain, Taiwanese M1A2T for China and so on). In my opinion people should pose against not unique or blatant copy and paste addition for a tech tree, even if this risk not having new content for a update, is better than stretching the research in a tech tree with a not so useful vehicle.

Please try not to include political statements in the forum, much less in the game, even if it’s difficult.
I think it would be a great idea to include the possible Taiwanese Rafale, given that this flag is present in the Chinese TT. To give an example, I also proposed the future Colombian JAS39 E/F Gripen for the Israeli TT (with EL/M 2052 AESA radar, Israeli 5th gen missiles, etc.), and these could be good event/premium/squadron options to add.
China has a huge array of fighter jets that can be released without the need for a Rafale.

Why would israel get gripen?
E/F gripen with AESA radar as premium surely sounds funny.
Give it to china, it would be hilarious

Not enough. if we fit all the 4th gen jet to other tech tree then China is pretty much empty so gotta dump in some taiwanese fighters.
