It’s faster than an A-10 but slower than a Su-25, no gunpods of any kind and has fewer plyons to utilize. However it does have CM, AGM’s/ASM’s, it has a very strong AAM that has IRCCM. I’ll probably say no lower than 10.3 in Air RB and 10.0 in Ground and Naval, ideally 10.7 in Air RB, 10.0 for every other RB game mode for the sole reason that it has Magic 2’s.
Classifying it as a Strike Fighter is reasonable
I am also thinking of adding the A-29B Super Tucano in BR 6.3 as it can fulfill a similar role to the British Strikemaster, I will just limit it to carrying bombs and rockets.
Damn. That would be sick if added in game.
Perhaps I will add it as a premium to the tree since it was only 1 and did not last long in service, it was sent to France for its conversion to a militarized version, here are some photos in France while they added the missile supports
Yes but i want it high tier… 10+ , with AIM-9Ls or something.
I’ll be the first person to play it . “Freebird” loud on the speakers and coming invisible behind a mountain…! It’s one of these planes…
EDIT: it can carry even Python 4!
About the Sub-tree, i love the idea of it, but on a Latin American unified tree. I believe LA nations have very interesting vehicles to show in the game, some of them very unique! And as a unified tree (with nations having a sub-tree) they can cover all eras of aviation!
I didn’t understand almost any of this, especially the AIM-9L and Python 4 thing.
Super Tucano has AIM-9L and even Python 4 in its repertoire of weapons.
The thing is that you responded to the other person who commented in a comment where he was talking about the Falcon 200 and not about the super tucano, that’s why I was confused.
Yea, I think the general sentiment imo is correct. Since the US placed an embargo on Chile, they used to be reliant on Israel for their military. Generally when we have great trade relationships like these it makes perfect sense for Chile to be in Israel’s subtree because a large number of their advanced weapons and aircraft are produced and or upgraded in Israel. Israel also still has some more planes they could add such as the Mig 2000 or the Mig 17 they captured as an event vehicle, more F5s and the Kfir C12. the C10 should also probably be introduced into the tech tree aswell besides the event vehicle.
In my personal opinion I believe that Chile is the best sub tree for Israel since it is the country that fills the most missing spaces and has the largest number of vehicles in relation to Israel than any other nation, which is why Chile is such a popular option within the forum. In fact, this Chilean sub-tree suggestion is the most voted for by an individual nation, so let’s hope that Gaijin realizes that and hopefully this year we can see Chile in Israel. It would be great to also see the export or modified vehicles by Israel like the ones you named to be added as an event/premium as happened with the Colombian Kfir.
When did they capture a MiG “2000”? This is the first I’ve ever heard of this… I would assume you’re referring to either the MiG-17F or the MiG-23MLD they captured, but I’ve never heard of a “MiG 2000” designation ever.
He means this, I think.
Ahhh the MiG-21 2000. Gotcha.
I meant the Mig 21 2000, sorry! It was actually a prototype that Israel made to make the ultimate Mig 21. Just like the F20 it never made it into service but it would be the perfect rival!
Yep I know all about it haha, I highly anticipate this aircraft addition to the game! I just for some reason don’t click the two together due to the lack of the MiG-21 designation being present hehe.
+1. I feel like Israel is a bit better option to house Chilean subtree as Israel really lacks, well… the variety and originality, plus a fair bunch of aircrafts are Israeli-modified ones to meet Chilean requirements
I’m glad you liked my work, my friend. Have you seen the land version? There are also many Chilean vehicles modified by Israel, and how this tree allows Israel to expand to rank 1 :D
Possible new top tier for Chile, F-35A Lightning II
The F-35A Lightning II Demo Team was recently presented in Chile during FIDAE 2026, and the Chilean government expressed interest in acquiring it in the coming years. Back in 2021, Lockheed Martin’s head of international business, David Johnson, stated that if Chile decided to acquire the F-35, they would be available for purchase. It seems that year after year, this is becoming a real possibility.
so i was looking at some satelite imaging from google earth and it seems some of this aircraft were used as target practice for bombs :(
Recently, during an interview on a Chilean TV channel, U.S. Ambassador to Chile Brandon Judd was asked whether the Chilean Air Force (FACh) might operate the F-35. He replied that Washington is discussing all options with Santiago, including the F-35 Lightning II, and highlighted that Chile maintains stronger ties with the U.S. than any other Latin American nation. A few days later, during an interview on another Chilean TV channel, Chilean Air Force Brigadier General Milton Zablah discussed potential replacements for the aging F-5 Tiger III Plus fleet. When specifically asked about the F-35, he stated: “To achieve and maintain our capabilities, and as the Air Force studies how to replace the F-5, this is certainly one of the options, though not the only one.”
These two interviews already demonstrate that the acquisition of the F-35 is a real option being considered by Chile, though it remains to be seen whether the country ultimately opts for this aircraft or another.
