It would be much more hyped of a December update if they waited for it to unveil the twin engine euro deltas (with f/a 18?)
I think 3 entirely new families is a bit too much to expect, but Rafale fits thematically either as a Euro-delta or naval fighter so I’d consider it extremely likely alongside the F/A-18A/C/A (CAN/AUS)/A+ (CAN/AUS)/C (FIN)/C (SWI/ES?) and MiG-29KR, or the Typhoon Tranche 1 Block 2 (IT/GR/UK)
I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch. We did get f16, mig29 AND tornado at the same time

Lol last year December update, we literaly got F15,SU27,Gripen and Mirage 4000 getting added. 4 new type of airframe so 3 is not that much of a stretch. We could even see “4” as they could introduce F-2A Viper Zero.
Also russia pretty much has no new airframe for near future appart from SU24 and SU33 ones which technically are just canard SU27, also SU30 isn’t new it’s a twin seater SU27. Only true new airframe they could get for Top Tier is SU57 and for high tier is MIG25/31.

Don’t forget Mirage 2000D too
Not a brand new airframe just a twin seater M2KC with no guns and dorsal flares. If we talk about Aiframes that have a significant rupture with old or existant design For Apex Predators we got 3 : F16, Mig 29 and Tornado; For air superiority we got 4 : F15, SU27, JAS 39, Mirage 4000(Half a new on as it is a twin engine canard M2K) and for December this year we could get 3 : F/A-18, Rafale, Typhoon.
Why would F-2A Viper Zero count as a new airframe but Mirage 2000D doesn’t? There are clear visual differences between the Mirage 2000-5F/Mirage 2000C and Mirage 2000D
I counted F2 as half a new airframe because it’s bigger but honestly i wouldn’t consider it a new airframe deep inside because it is just a bigger F16, si i edited above post.
Also in my eyes they are still the same Delta wing with pointy noze. It wasn’t much work for gaijin to take 2KC airframe and change it a little. While for a Rafale for example they’d have to go from scratch.
What about J-10, or JF-17?
Maybe but honestly my hate towards China says : “If this tree could get removed from the game i would see no issue in it.”

It’s all C+P until you get to modern day unfortunately. Maybe a better solution would be if you have top tier Soviet you can research the non C+P Chinese planes
J8, jh7, j10, j20, j31, jf17, jl10/L15, ftc2000, and f-ck-1 all point to China only being copy paste to a point. There’s far too many planes for them all to be added to Russia as a sub tree. Especially when you get into the other planes that are variants/modifcations/modernizations that no other trees get like the f16’s, mirage 2000’s, flankers, and mig21’s. It’s a shit ton of planes. But sure the tree could be cut in half the isreal to get rid of a lot of the copy paste stuff at the lower br’s.
Get rid of Japan high tier and have it turn into China high tier that isn’t C+P /s
Spoiler
I said /s what are you still doing here ik that’s a stupid idea.
Just call the tree Asia and add everything.
I’m personally a fan of Red Dragons and Blue Dragons concept from Wargame. That allows funny vehicles like North Korean MBTs to be represented, separates ROC from PRC, and satisfies those who’d rather not be seen as subordinate to Japan.
Why would we separate the chinas?
Why stop there, just have Red Vs Blue
The… part where the PRC and ROC oppose each other on the geopolitical stage isnt enough?
It’d be like putting Iraqi and Iranian vehicles in the Israeli tech tree.
Yeah but the tree is just China. Like how if Korea was added it would just be Korea.
