well to give another example Singapore is almost confirmed to China, and what did the singaporean players do? They said they dont want to be grouped up with China, so Gaijin changed the plans so that now Singapore isnt going to with China
now imagine we replace Singapore with South Korea & China with Japan,
They dont change it for “political reasons”, but if there’s a lot of outcry they will change it. T-90 to UK for instance, there were some opponents to the idea, but its not a whole lot of noise so they went ahead with it. Iranian Tomcat, has the Iranian Islamic Republic modifications (a nation which is hostile and had been fighting the US) was given to the US. Some opponents there, but again, nothing major, so it goes. Recent examples, Greek to Israel, again some voiced concerns but not a whole lot so no progress there.
But from what I’ve seen, on the South Korean suggestions there seems to be a lot of negative voices to the Idea (alot more than the examples ive mentioned before), so I dont think it will proceed even if it is being considered.
And besides lets think of it from Gaijin’s perspective, you have two choice for additional subtree, why wouldn’t they look after the less-controversial Southeast Asian nations rather than a would-be controversial South Korea? Even if they’re objective, why risk that chance? you have a perfectly good option right here, without the added (possible) controversy that would be caused by choosing the alternative
Indonesia could help plug it up with the many IFVs it had/has. The Indo Leopard 2A4 / 2RI could definitely help that gap, possibly the Harimau Hitam.
`+ Malaysian T-84 (Object 478DU8, Prototype T-84).
With OCU as it is now it would be redundant to have both and better to change it to (e)MLU, but the real OCU would be very interesting because it would have a much different role at a lower BR.
If the OCU was 12.7 with out AMRAAM (like Belgian OCU) it could even replace the F-16AJ.
Also it doesn’t need to be in the same line, it could easily replace the F-16AJ or be foldered with it. Since it’d be great CAS, it’d follow the AV-8S + A-7E CAS capabilities.
I wish someone made a suggestion post for the Ka-To Tank Destroyer
Before anyone says “But it wasn’t built!!!1!1!!” I don’t really care, id take a unique vehicle design realized in WT that would fit perfectly in a spot where Japan’s Ground Tech Tree needs something desperately over more copy paste in general.
yay the Chi-ri can enter the halls of gaijin nerfing another japanese tank into the death zone. just that unlike those in the past, i dont think the chi-ri can survive 5.7 whatsoever.
They don’t. These are decommissioned (T)AV-8S’. Likely there just because it looks funny. None of these aircraft have a radar or are capable of using the AIM-120.
