F-18 Spanish Premium for Italy where is it?

So a fraction of manpower and Pazer Is.
You licensed them the Leopard 2, while we made the Centauro and the specialized Centauro Recovery vehicle that they requested and are the only user, collaborated with them for the VEC, the VEC with the SIDAM turret, the recon Dragoon will use an italian turret, the main Dragoon will use a turret that was developed with the help of Leonardo.
And the spanish army is looking to procure the Centauro 2.

If you keep thinking that Italy has no ties with Spain, well I can’t help it.

Not just the panzer I but Panzer III and IV as well and Stugs. And the Leopard 2A4 and worked with them on the Verdejas, M47E, M48A5E, Lince, AMX-30EM2, and Leo 2E. And also the C-2.111, Ha.1109, Ha.1112, Ha-200, Ha-220, and C-295. And Spanish troops fought with the German army, not the Italian one.but sure, keep saying Germany has no ties with Spain.

“Fought with Germany”
Everyone joined Barbarossa, literally everyone.
And the thing is, contrary of you, I never denied German ties with Spain, although I see that you like to boost the vehicle list with dubious choices to say the least.

Why don’t we get rid of national trees if everyone gets vehicles they have no relation to?

Facts

Guys with the addition of the Tiger Helicopter to the german TT it is CLEAR that a spanish F-18 mostdefinetly would be a german and not an italian premium/squadroon vehicle.

Germany received it because DASA, one of the two companies that founded Eurocopter, was german.
The Eurocopter Tiger can be seen as a 50/50 project between France and Germany, although afaik France seemed to actually manage Spain’s acquisitions.
Anyway Gaijin just added it to fill the premium gap the German TT had.

or maybe he added it for the same reason he added a Swiss hunter to Germany.

Historical context

Blue division.
Blue Legion.
Blue squadron.

  • Spain had SIGINT and radio beacons under German service.
  • Spain gave shelter and refueling to German submarines and airplanes.
  • Spain was rescuing German pilots in the Mediterranean with the DO-24.

The United States even seriously considered invading Spain, and surely if the Germans had not invaded the USSR, Spain would have ended up entering the war under German pressure, even though they were too afraid of the Royal Navy (fear of interception of food convoys).

Gameplay context

CASA 2.111
HA-1112
Saeta
Super Saeta
F5
Mirage III
Mirage F-1
F-18
AV8
Tiger HAD (spikes)

The problem I see is that they overlap with the Eurofighter (the Spanish one has IRST).

Another option would be to make a new branch (which Gaijin does not want) with Iberia/LATAM/Poland. It would be a great combination of NATO and USSR.

Also, as historical context, Poland and Franco’s Spain were very close, to the point that Spain kept the Polish ambassador during WW2 (President of the Polish government in exile).

Also, all the countries mentioned are Catholic :)

Don’t diss the AMX and Centauro, it saved me the struggle of stock grinding every vehicle to get to top tier. I mean, I still stocked grinded, but at least I could still do something else while grinding.

45k troops (counting replacements)

You mean to fill the gap?
