F-5E - Trials behind the Iron Curtain

+1

For BP/Event, captured and only tested make better rewards than 90% of them.

It’s better to add the Iranian F-5 in USSR tech tree. Anyways +1

I would only be in support of this if it also meant the US or Israel could get the captured Mig-21F (Israel would actually be properly justifiable, seeing as they nearly used it in combat and outfitted it with prototype Shafrir IIs for interception duties).
+/- 1, depending on circumstance.

Ain’t no way Japan should ever be on pact side, that should be reserved strictly for pact countries…

+1 would be cool

-1, there’s so many actually russian aircraft not in-game yet, there’s no need for an F-5E to also be added. ESPECIALLY one that had zero modifications done to it, so it can’t even be claimed to be “unique” in any way.

So Sweden can get Kungstiger, t80 and mi28 and it’s okay they tested it, but when it’s Russia it’s a problem

even added as an event vehicle would be awesome.

I was also against these additions. Adding vehicles some country looked at one time opens a whole can of worms, like japanese F-14A and Su-27.

Where did I say I supported those additions? As I said, testing only vehicles should only be added if they fill a gap that can’t be filled in any other way. Still, could be worse. Imagine if they added a captured/borrowed/tested vehicle to one country but didn’t even add a variant to the country that made it. Oh wait…

You may not support them but it doesn’t change the fact that they are still in the game

meanwhile the a-10 with the ability to just walk up to an aircraft and see if its friendly or not, and If not BRRRRRRRRRT

Okay so then why should I support a suggestion that I don’t like? And as I said, it could be much worse. Imagine if they added a British ship to the Soviet tech tree and didn’t give the ship to the British. Oh wait…

Don’t remember people complaining much when Sweden got those

So what? That doesn’t mean copy paste is good. Soviet F-5E is a bad addition, regardless of if unrelated nation has an unrelated Russian MBT

People definitely complained when they got them. Reasonably so. It was Bologne and a half that Gaijin gave it to them- and people even now are complaining about it. I sure do. I bring up how much I hate copy paste just about every chance I get.

The US shouldn’t get Captured Soviet/German Vehicles, and the USSR shouldn’t get captured German/Western tech. End of Sentence. Period. However, if nations must, and I mean MUST, have other tech, at least make it tech they actually had the capability to operate in a fighting capacity. None of this “well we captured one but we didn’t have any exterior armaments available for it but still we should get it” Horseplay.

I would not sit here and argue for a US Su-27, or T-34, or T-80, etc. etc. The US should have domestically produced or acquired vehicles. ONLY.
