F-15C MSIP II or F-15E was the goalpost set by US mains last year for Typhoon. So… I think it would be fine.

Id hope India remains SQV/Premiums only, and the OSA Was a one off.
Though a LOT of aircraft from Britain Id like to see as a premium so I hope its not only Indian vehicles as premiums going forward.

So many indigenous desings left out and ive no idea why.
I mean theres plenty of chieftains. The crv family of lights, the challangers etc and for air craft yhere are a plethora.of things either just not there or modelled so poorly they dont even match irl.
The javelin for one, renowned for breaking the sound barrier over london cant go mach in game.
Germany does need a competitive top tier air got cas and arb tho
Never said they shouldnt , only that they can be patient for a change and that the ICE going down in BR is BS.
Though for CAS, not really anyones fault except germany on that front. They didnt even really upgrade their Tornados heavily like Italy and Britain did. They were waiting for the Typhoon.
Even the Swiss F-18 probably shouldnt have any CAS

The LAV is Canada’s last domestic family of vehicles and has been since the 1970s(for WT at least).
The LAVs started as licsened built Swiss Piranhas, with the AVGP/LAV-I. Heck the US wouldn’t even use the LAVs until the LAV-II/25(due to this Canada is the only real operator of the LAV-I(for WT at least)), tho this would also be a licensed-built Piranha. The LAVs would enter full domestic with the LAV-III which isn’t based on a Piranha but just making a better vehicle over the LAV-II. The Stryker is an LAV-III variant entering into service about 3 years after the LAV-III. On top of that, almost all LAVs are built in London, Ontario.
LAV-I Cougar(note the British turret)
Ok, that’s probably enough about it but TL;DR despite what US mains would tell you(due to the company that builds them), the US didn’t use the first one and isn’t domestic to them but Canada.

yeah im not saying u think they shouldnt get a capable air frame, i know you feel the same as me and they need one, For cas yeah unfortunately i think theyll need to make do for the time, as sucky as it is.
well there u go, learn something new every day, thank u for taking the time to explain that mate.

Yeah, though considering Germany isnt suffering at all on the ground, wiht meta or above average vehicles in most slots, even a farily usable heli for CAS. Its not critical. A nation like Britain, Italy or Isarel, really needs to back-up their ground line up with aircraft

pff isreal has 2 lights man, its actually a struggle to keep grinding it rn due to the lack of variation, its all just MBTS, which i dont mind, but god damn its tedious
Dropping the BR of any 13.0 is a terrible idea, lets just go take a look at what as 12.7 can fight.
mig 23, A-10 and f-111, Tornado IDS (which gets 56 flares), and an ungodly amount of 12.0s that already have to deal with 1.0 up BR which btw a lot don’t have any if not very little flares such as the JA37D and Kfir.
the Tornado F3 Late has the same 120s on an arguably better radar platform, and the same IR missile but with a smokeless motor which makes it hard to find (I checked the file that’s literally the only difference between the 9M and 9L/I)
In reality It would be best to raise the max BR but gaijin doesn’t like reality, so we just gotta suffer with the evil of a plane that shouldn’t have been down BRed

its the F104 situation again. cant compete at its BR so it gets to go down and ruin an entire bracket, which then in turn pushes more incapable jets down. etc etc

I won’t blame german mains for wanting a better fighter than the ICE.
However if someone starts acting like they have already won before any official announcement and starts taunting the other side? I’ll gladly take all the pleasure from seeing karma hitting them back in the face, as was the case with the 18C situation.

ICE is just helpless victim of time it’s done . It’s too op for 12.0-12.3 brackets because of amraams and radar alone, but it’s gonna be same crap EVEN with decompression because it’s gonna meet actual top jets most of the time.

India is a sub tree for the UK.
“Much like South African vehicles, Indian vehicles will be introduced into the British tree.”

yes that was discussed and resolved promptly after. I did state that id missed that due to a break from the game :=) thank you for linking it again,
but again, why not canada or australia? canada we are closer linked with militarily than Inida, or south africa.

Another one I can add to my “Smin confirming that India is indeed a UK subtree” collection.

Just the hope is that it stays Premiums, SQVs and events beyond rare exceptions like the OSA which was an unplanned C&P .
Would be frustating to see aircraft like the Mig-29K added instead of the Harrier Gr9A or Typhoon

yeah its gonna happen isnt it. britain wont get any british air craft or tanks xD
