either way, wouldnt have changed anything
If the gnat comes and it’s for Sweden they can have it the poor jet is going to get clubbed around so damn hard as it’s likely going to be 9.0/9.3 or something due to gaijin wisdom

Its more the principle, its one of the jets that has been reqested for the majority of the games actual life for the british tree and its just being fobbed off. Its been asked for literally since literally since the first hunter was added in 2015. late is still better then nothing and it would have a role in ground where we are emaciated for actual ground attackers at that rank,
Its like the Hunter F58 going to germany
Right now if your taking a jet at that br its teh swift with bombs, the hunter or the gnat are a great option to fill this gaping hole, and well looks like we might be going two for two
This is pretty much exactly what I’ve been saying. They pioneered the non-aligned movement, staying away from being a foreign policy pawn of both the US and the USSR, choosing to source their equipment wherever they thought best.
On that alone, at best, their procurement choices should return to their original countries, as premium vehicles, a la Vijayanta to the brits, or the Indian army camos on the USSR vehicles (BMP-2, T-72A, Shilka, Strela-10M2…), and whatever else I could be missing.
People can go look up what else they have, and could propose they go to whatever appropriate trees, or like I’ve said before, an ASEAN+India tree could be built. Either way, there are options.
The problem that UK tanks have with playstyle is the same problem top-tier AA and CAS balance have with Western nations and USSR respectively. Both countries chose entirely different doctrines, and thus have different playstyles and strategies. For example, the best AA the Western nations have to look forward to is basically Chaparrals or some sort of Hawk launcher. Scary, but not exactly game-breaking. Conversely, to find parity with Western CAS, USSR basically needs either some multirole fighter (MiG-29SMT or some Su-27), or a high rank 8 lower rank 9 plane like an Su-30 or Su-34.
We all picked trees to play because they have a certain style or advantage. Taking something entirely divergent, that by most forms of logic does not belong in that tree is a problem. If you don’t like slow, “heavily armored”, “sniper” MBT, DON’T PLAY THE UK. Why are we breaking with convention to give a nation a playstyle it doesn’t have?
The T-90S sets a bad precedent. Just plug tech tree holes with more copy paste. Why? Because UK suffers? What’s the logic? They were a colony of the UK? They haven’t been a commonwealth of the UK since 1948. Smin1080p has said there is no logic beyond this vague idea of a commonwealth subtree. But India isn’t a commonwealth country. The logic they are actually using is: “plug trees + former colony = UK commonwealth subtree”. If we accept that, then where does this crazy train stop? The United States is a former colony, should Gaijin just copy paste some Bradleys and Strykers in there? Maybe an Abrams or two? Hong Kong was a territory of Britain, why not just grab a few ZTZ whatevers while they’re at it too. Just copy paste into a competent tree.
The other concern, frankly, is that in the air, the UK of all countries could possibly get an Su-30MKI, if both ground and air become hybrid East/West trees, no nation will feel unique at some point, and the game will lose a little of it’s charm.

The issue is if they go this root of commonwealth tree being anyone we once held dominion over basically any russian jet can be added to teh british tree,
China, Iran, France, Spain, just take any conquest. Why stop at colony. If it’s commonwealth, keep it commonwealth for God’s sake.
I hate that BR and never touch it. I prefer either spits or the 9.7+
As previously stated, my big concern with this precident is they are going to attempt to fill the hole in teh british ifv/light lines with russian vehicles sold to russia for a quick copy paste, when we have our own equivlents to them

I avoid it too, but it would be an option to fill that hole and i would take it over the swift
Yeah, its a maybe, but would be miffed if we only got a Gnat instead of something that can go toe to toe with 12s

And you gotta wait 8 weeks for it to be researched or pay 8000 GE for a non premium tank 😂😂😂
correction…
a non premium tank i cant build a line up around and have to uptier to 11.3
Anyone actually gonna research it at all?
I mean if your in a squadron you may aswell
Currently researching Hunter F58 and ill look into something else after that but wont be the T90. No point in my opinion. Only SQV i may actually use though is the FRS1 or Southampton
Yeah I reckon you’re going to be right, disappointing additions in La Royale, a car, a Sherman and a copy pasta Vickers premium (that I’ve seen one person use)
T-90S this patch, which will more than likely be the ‘big one’
If they had wanted to add a vehicle to the brit tree that would be played, sell and be different they had it with the AIM abrams, but no that had to be in the us tree, even though literally every other ozzie vehicle is in the brit tree
but the list of neglect is long
