SA in WT was a disaster from Ixwa Strike. It should have first been implemented as a ground tree, a small tree would have been fine, then the air tree should have been added. If Gaijin had added the Rooikat Mk.1D and Rooikat 105 as tree fillers in the GB tree but then moved over to the SA tree when added then it would have been all and well, sort of how the American Merkavas and British Sh’ot Kal Dalet were moved to Israel and given event vehicle status.
So Gaijin made it clear that any anti Russian nation that is added to War Thunder ( will be mistreated and screwed up, especially if it is an ex colony of Britain
Agreed, SA has enough to become larger than Israel currently with the only exception being maybe the heli tree. Also Gaijin could add a Commonwealth tech tree that is unlock at Rank 3 by GB or Rank 4 US that could contain all the Commonwealth or Excommonwealth counties that are too small to add individually but together too large to go into Britain.
Alternatively, with the Subtree rework forum, you can have the whole Commonwealth tree in the British tree.
There are many good options for SA and Commonwealth tech trees but I doubt we would see these as GaYjin is stupid and love annoying and ruining players that like Britain and its children

South Africa is IMO the absolute best TT Gaijin have ever implemented though.
Personally I love the unique commonwealth additions particularly as ZA fills so many gaps the UK cannot and offers a completely different playstyle, Cheetah C is just another example of this as at 13.0 if we got any further decompression they’d be quite nice, or even Cheetah E as a Kfir Canard alternative with HMS and more agile missiles.
Only time I want anything thats not unique in this respect from CW is that I do indeed want the Su-30MKI, even if its the MKI late with domestic Indian AESA radar and NATO standard armament.

I do think the british tree should be totally reworked into being a Commonwealth of nations tree so that it ends the ripping apart of countries into multiple trees and so that people stop claiming that brit mains are claiming everything under the sun
its the best yes, but also been the most problematic because of other nations that should be subtrees, Canada and Australia
Theoretical - five.
Demonstrated - four.
The fifth missile is anecdotal so I wouldn’t expect it.

I agree, but I must admit that I absolutely hate the Kfir C.10 and because Gaijin added it before the Cheetah C every single Youtuber is gonna say it’s C&P or say it is exactly like the Kfir. People already say that several other South African vehicles are like that (some examples of this are the TTD, every single Mirage variant, Cheetahs, Olifants, ZA 35 and more) and this gets me quite angry but their gullibility and stupidity.

Gaijin has implemented theoretical loadouts / weaponry before and they likely will keep in mind the 5th mount for balance purposes.
I am stating it as it will be a bit of a problem for the future if the Cheetah C is added
Did the Mirage F1CZ get Cat’s Eye before 1985?
just don’t get offended by it simple as

Yes, you can normally identify them by their grey low visibility camos, they got these camos after being upgraded with Cat’s Eye

Regarding the Atlas Cheetah, I would really love to suggest and (hopefully) see this camo from the Ecuadorian Atlas Cheetah, and I think the community would enjoy it as well, I’m talking about FAE-1377’s 40th Anniversary camouflage:
Also here is FAE-1377 in the usual service camouflage:

R-Darter not Derby
R-Darter is an export variant of the Derby issued to the SAAF
Not exactly R-Darter is the result of a joint collaboration with Israel which resulted in the two respective missiles. There are both similarities and differences between the two because of this (although probably more of the former).

It doesn’t really matter, the Cheetah C is literally just a worse Kfir C.10. So in fact nobody will say it’s a C&P C.10 they’ll say it’s a worse C&P C.10 and they’d be right.
How is the Cheetah a worse C.10? the Cheetah only loses to the C.10 in thrust but makes up for it with a lower weight and a slightly worse radar. The Cheetah has better missiles, more missiles and rear MAW. You seem like one of those people that think something like the Cheetah should be added to Israel and India should be its own nation

How does it make up for having inferior performance with a worse radar? The Kfir should get all aspect MAWS like was teased in the dev blog but not added. And what are these better missiles you’re talking about? C.10 should get Python 5 and I-Derby ER. Even the Cheetah C pilots that trained on Kfirs in Israel preferred it. So you’re wrong on all counts. And for more missiles part, what’s your source other than “trust me bro”.
As for the the second part of your comment, it sounds like insecure deflecting.
