We have 5 unique F-5’s ingame, 3 copy paste, and 1 that doesn’t fit either category.
U.S.
F-5E
F-5C
F-5A
Japan
F-5T SCU
F-5E FCU
F-5C
Sweeden
F-5A(G)
China
F-5A
F-5E
Out of all of these, only the Chinese F-5s (no surprise it’s China) and the Japan F-5C are copy paste. The rest of the F-5s are unique, depending on whether you count the American F-5C and F-5A as copy paste (they’re practically identical), since one is premium and one is event.
Out of all of these, only the Chinese F-5s (no surprise it’s China)
How funny, the Chinese F-5A was introduced before the American F-5A, which one is the actual copy? Gaijin is the one which makes the Chinese gameplay at around 1.0 to 8.7 feel repetitive, the nation has many unique vehicles which could be added into the game but they’re almost entirely avoided for unknown reasons.
F-5C
Thailand never operated the F-5C, the F-5C Skoshi was specialised for the Vietnamese war - what we’ve got in-game is the F-5A for Japan (making four F-5As including the F-5A(G)).
Fact check yourself before you spew out nonsense
As well as this, how many of the F5s are actually different outwith what i stated of just missiles / ordenance.
Like the F5E FCU does that not have a near identical FM and engines to the F5E for USA?
The F5T ive yet to compare as Im on a break but as far as I know, most the F5’s arent masively different to one another bar the A/C compared to E which has a different model and whatnot.
Japan has a lot of jets which aren’t in game.
For ground britain has a lot of tanks from various centurions, vickers and cheiftains missing, spaags.
USA missing soooo many of its prototype and early production stuff like the T95 series of proto MBTs.
etc etc.
most trees rather than get unique indigenous stuff are getting literal copy paste, or very close to it equipment.
A lot? Like what?
F-2…
…and…
…and…
…ehm.
…
Big F-2?
We have:
So my guess of Big F-2 was correct
Thats just the F2s as well.
T-4 as far as Im aware was also trialed with weapons on the hardpoints, but ill dig that up when im actively playing WT again and CBA with it.
Doesnt really matter what we all bicker over anyways gaijins gonna just do what it does.
I know, that was the Joke. Japan does have more left, though it still isn’t a lot compared to other nations. XT-4 would be really nice, and so would other rank 5s like the T-1s, T-33 and Vampire T55.
Thats my point but folks just wanna say “just the F2”
and leave it with a bunch of copy paste.
Much like the tanks for most nations, look at britain its the designer and manufacturer of the damn centurion and theres more cents in trees like isreal and sweden xD
Centurion alone goes up to mk12. theres what, the mk 1 , 3 and ten in the tt?
France the same so many amx30s left out to dry, or fix leclercs etc, slam some leo2s in there and a nearly entirely C&P air line and call it a day.
I really do not believe its fair to those who put thousands of hours, and however much money into the game to get hte same platforms constantly.
T1S would be an awesome addition for example.
But I digress as I said its pointless
Those are all poorly armed trainers (not similar to other trainers like Saab 105 or Strikemaster, which can well serve in roles other than those Japanese trainers…=.
What do you want to do with them? They would just prolong the progression…
Could, please, people who are absolutely uninterested in Japanese vehicles will not say their “important” opinion about Japanese tree?
Please let the Japanese mains, who understand all tree problems, decide what they need
Anyone managed to get the penguin working in GroundRB. I see in stats Lock Range 2.5 Km.
I tried further away and I am unable to get a lock.
This is completely independent of the Japanese tree, and implying I am uninterested in the Japanese tree is out of place (and wrong).
As to “main”, maybe think about the possibility that players who do not focus on one tree alone may actually but play many or all trees also have a valid understanding and opinion about specific trees, maybe even more so as they have a wider experience to compare.
My point - and this is again not at all Japan specific - is that such for practical means unarmed or very lightly armed aircraft like those trainers have gameplay-wise little to do in WT. Apart from completeness and iconic status I see no reason to add a T-33 to any tree, not Japan, not US, not Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, whatever.
Tried it out a bit yesterday in test flight, and am not impressed. Only way I could get it to work more or less reliably against ships was by marking the position of the ship on the map (or with the HUD), as SPI, den launch the missile. This also from maybe 10km away.
But - once again - for Sim players there are zero indications about what the missile actually tracks (in external view you see a crosshair on the tracked target), only the text “tracking” indicating you can fire, but you’re not sure what you firing at…
Against tanks I only managed near hits (aka “miss”). Maybe works better in real battles, as the training targets in test flight are very close together. Maybe also try with marking the targets map position…
No
People who don’t deeply focus in Japanese tree can’t get all historic problems, all missing vehicle problems and all missing potential of tech tree
This people may have the opinion about balance but it is also very doubt because even people with all tech trees mostly has one lovely tree and they can’t correctly understand Japanese tree
But the problem that Japan was missing any content at this br for years
We had 7.3 line where you couldn’t take anything because kikka is too bad already and r2y2 is too high.
Only what fixed it - F-84G but I talk here about the Japanese tree, not Thais one
If Japan had planes on every br from 6.7 to 8.0 I could understand you, but because of missing vehicles there, planes like T-1, T-33 and Vampire must be appeared
Again - “filling the tree” aside - what would you want to do with those? Which role should they perform? With what weapons?
Its supposed to have a passive seeker when 2.5 km from the POI. However with the 0.1 degree view at 2 5 km it cant see anything. Not very surpised that it doesnt function wellin Ground RB, given its an anti-ship missile…
They would act like a decent CAS, T-33 For example:
