So why there isn’t Mirage 2000?

For same reason Gripen isnt there. It would be too OP.

Tbh, I didn’t even realize that all the “rare” vehicles for the Ussr were back. I’ll admit that after playing these new vehicles that they are not bad. Specifically the KV-1E, it has more armor than the Zis-5 and has the same F-32 cannon as the BT-7A (Which is also a very fun to play). The reload is also almost a second less than the other KV-1s. The 1st Gaurds T-34, I’d say, is not as good as the TT 1941 version, it lacks the extra armor, but in turn has a unique camoflage and name. The Pe-2-205 is a very good plane. It has a good turning radius and can carry a variety of explosives. The Il-2M “Avenger” is just a talismanned version of the TT Il-2M, but with special markings and name. If you’re on a budget. I’d recommend getting the KV-1E and the Pe-2-205, these are the best options I’d say.

Agree from the political pov. But not regarding language history and, most important, for nationality law in many countries based on jus sanguinis - so your right to became citizen was determined what nationality your Father (not mother) was.

Today, almost all states apply some combination of jus soli and jus sanguinis in their nationality laws to varying degrees.[4][5] Historically, the most common application of jus sanguinis is a right of a child to their father’s nationality.

Sorry for wikipedia links - but imho just another sign that the web & society is cleansed & is altering wordings - 25 years ago everybody with a decent education knew what the indo-germanic Sprachraum was. Now its called Indo-European…

Btw:

Read below that. I added later context down the line that they need to at least provide context so we don’t confuse it. Cause I never heard of a holiday called Defense of the Fatherland. So I just like many assumed it was a German Holiday or something. Cause Vater is translated to English as Father.
Hense the confusion of the word Fatherland.

As i said earlier, agreed :-)
