so why is the british hunter F58 that was all done by the british bar i believe the RWR pawned off to germany?

the bigget gripe I have is there is no consistency at all with it.
That T90 Bhishma would of been ideal for USSR for a squadron tank and britain could of get a CR1 model or the trailed leopard 2 or M1 abrams we trialed.

The Indian equipment really doesnt belong in the british tree, there is so many indigenious british pieces of equipment just being left out, they should get that before filling the tree with other stuff.

(also on the topic of the actual T90 Bhishma im aware india was far more involved in it, however in game its near enough a Cn P T90)

The only Indian stuff I think the UK needs are the vehicles that where British. IE FRS.51 it would have made a better premium that the MIG-21

Theres a plethora of gear that would of been a smarter addition than the mig21, I also cant say im a fan of the damn Super hind as a squadron vehicle as well.
Seeing as theres a good few variations of the lynx and such.

I am bias however as I am happy South African lol.
I like the engineering and ingenuity of the South African people and it’s cool to play what they came up with.

Certainly enjoy their vehicles and reading about them, real fan of the olifants, TTD and so on.

the SA tree is at least unique the issue ive got is the “Indian” stuff were getting just isnt that unique at all T90 Bhishma IRL is unique, in game its just missing its IRCM and has a dozer, mig21 as well is just that, some minor tweaks to a mig21 but already in game and ported over.

see what I mean? the TDD while missing its roof MG still is a unique design, rooikats, olis, the little wheelied spaa and so on are all actually bloody unique!:

Hell id have prefered a SA airforce jet as a premium over an indian, I just dont feel india makes sense for britain

South africa as well could be apart and paired up with other nations of the continent with africa, but it still makes more sense than india, UK and india havent really been close at all since india left the empire and commonwealth.

Canada and Australia makes more sense, especially canada seeing as they militarily are linked to UK more than germany for example.

but I digress itll never change man

Love though the general sentiment is a fat no, we dont want more indian stuff in the british tree, they should be respected enough to get their own

We definitely need more Indian vehicles in the british tree (at least in the air tree, I don’t know about the rest since I only play air).
Imo, we shouldn’t get more Soviet/Russian vehicles, since I don’t think they fit with the british tree. However, what we do need is indigenous Indian vehicles. Here are some I’d like added:

  • HAL Ajeet: A lightweight, very agile gunfighter developed from the Folland Gnat by HAL. Would probably be in the 1st line at Rank 6, with a BR something like 9.x, foldered with the Gnat (which has to be added too since it’s literally British).

  • HAL HF-24 Marut: Originally designed as a supersonic interceptor, it was never fitted with proper engines. Because of this, it never managed to break the sound barrier and ended up being used as a strike aircraft. Would definitely sit at Rank 7, 4th line with a BR like 10.x.

  • HAL Tejas: The most modern Indian fighter in service, it’s a very unique aircraft due to its very small size (13m long by 8m large) and its extremely diverse armament (it can carry European, Israeli and Russian ordnance). Would sit at Rank 8, probably in line 1 between the Gripen and the Typhoon, with the Mk1 at perhaps a 13.x BR and the Mk1A foldered with it at a 13.(x+1) BR.

  • Mirage 2000H or 2000I: Export variants of the Mirage 2000 for India (similar to the 2000C and 2000-5 respectively). These are unique mainly because they were fitted to carry R-73 missiles. Would be a nice premium for Rank 8, with a BR of 13.x I guess.

No, search for “call of Mahabharata” on the WarThunder forums search bar. India should be its own tech tree

Actually quite opposite. We do not need any indian vehicles in brit TT

maybe not in the ground tree but the air tree can definitely receive some
the main problem is, right now a great part of vehicles added are soviet origin, which doesn’t fit the british tree. But some others vehicles would fit way better

First off, what is lacking in the tree? And secondly, saying Indian aircrafts are all russian copypaste shows that you don’t know much about them. The Tejas is a completely indigenous Indian aircraft that has nothing to do with Russians. The Marut is also very unique, and would go in a spot of the tree that isn’t very loaded. And the Ajeet would be foldered with the Gnat which is a British aircraft. I don’t see where the Russian copypaste is here
Anyway, there is a ton of room in the British tree for unique Indian aircrafts without taking the spot from British vehicles
