Literally worst case scenario for both Czech Republic and Slovakia if this solidifies it into the USSR tree.
That leaves Poland as the last remotely close to independent tree in eastern/central Europe which even if you threw the Baltics, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova the tree would still suffer from some noticeable gaps.
Well at least acording to the leak it looks like premium. So when Czechoslovak tt comes it can be made reaserchable in the tt and removed from the soviet one ( as was done with the Vautour IIA IDF in the french tt)
Yeah, I was honestly expecting the L-39 airframe to come out when the Thai sub tree got announced
L-39ZA is cooler
Dont forget F-35 :)
I will hate them so much if they choose to truly add both the most legendary Czechoslovak airplane and the most widely used jet trainer jet in the world as a pack premium. Like damn, i get that they gotta earn money, but this is the 3rd (4th when counting Moderna) Czechoslovak premium vehicle in the Soviet tree. Why cant they just add the tree already? They could even put the sh#t ton of premiums in there like i propose, but no, they gotta sell them both in Soviet tree and later on in Czechoslovak/Czecho-Polish tree (or something like that) to get paid twice for the exact same thing (just like they did in the case of Israeli Apache or the Strv 81 (RB 52)) :(
Sub tree noises intensely intensify.
I will probably self-defenestrate if that ever happens :)
bro this is cool
i will probably sound dumb for even writing this but here i go
Czechia planned to replace their mig21s with Mirages 2000 and FA/18s but after 2002 floods hit the country and because gripens were much better deal the idea was scrapped. Using the swedish TT premium logic we can somehow place these aircrafts as premium or events for czechoslovakia tree. However take this with grain of salt its just proposal idea not just actual suggestion
some link for further reading
I guess this is why they tested the magic 2 on the mig-23
I mean, the connection is indeed there, and looking at Sweden and Japan (which has an F-16AJ, which not only was just a proposal to Japan, but was never even build), these wouldnt be impossible to add. I personally wont add these into my proposal, and even for extended tree i would have problem with them, as so far my requirement is that foreign vehicles must at the very least be tested by the army directly, and of those i dont think any actually were.
I dont think there is much of a gap on toptier either to justify this addition, as you can have regular MiG-29A on 12.7, MiG-29AS on 13.0, Gripen C on 13.7, F-16C Block 70 on 14.3/14.7 and F-35 on whatever the ,absolute" tiptier will be (maybe 15.7/16.0?).
But its still better to have these ,backups" that can potentially be added than nothing at all ofcourse
Anyway, Czech F-18 would go hard ngl
