U.S. ain’t use F-14, with R-27 (and R-27 at all), so they can go… away.
USSR provide the Iranians R-27, and they be friends (as now, with RF) that time… But i don’t want this Tomcat to USSR too.
To Israel… Well, that is too thicc trolling, so better don’t do that.
China… well, they brought alot of oil to China, but i can’t call it that tight relationship.
I think about Italy. They have Turkish machines (and Turkey in not the worst relations with Iran), and also used R-27, in Hungarian MiGs.
Also, Italy players really in need of some good grinder.
Or just better, then Turkish Starfighter.
OTOH, If you wanted to make a modern day Iranian line up, you can’t really do that in the US TT. I guess you could make a prerevolution and Iran-Iraq War era, but they quickly filled in with Soviet gear.
So what?
We have alot export machines in game, which ain’t been produced by country who have them in TT.
Well, China and Italy (and Brits (Indians)), use the R-27.
Italy or China deserve this Tomcat more, than US, which ain’t need that one (like Aussie’s Abruhms).
Only one.
Italy have Starfighter, and Mangusta (T-129 ATAK (piece of sh**, to be honest)).
So - Italy.
But the game is not based on today’s standards/alliances. We have vehicles spanning over 100 years(naval at least), so we abandon ALL that history and alliances just to use todays circumstance? . . . I don’t see how that is supposed to work. The US fought a long, hard war with Japan, they have been allies ever since. Italy was Axis, then changed sides and is a NATO member now. We had Nazi Germany, East/West Germany and the Unified Germany that still exists today . . . which one of all these do we go by? While not always 100% historically accurate on every little thing, Gaijin does a pretty good job mixing in all the various vehicles they add to the game. But like everything else, they cannot please everyone. I think it pays to be “open minded” about most of it . . . it is a video game after all . .
No, they don’t. It’s a US plane. It’s fine in the US tree. Plus Russia already got an event top tier. Hey shocker, it was an export Su-25. So the principle of giving it to the manufacturer nation is established. It being in the US is 100% fine.
