Multiple nations have equipment from other nations. India is not unique there. The Russian tree already has a large selection of vehicles and we will continue to expand on that in the future.

Nothing new. We already have that widely across the board
Dude, I’m having a blast observing all this coping and seething from IvanBoos.
Sorry. Going to @ you here Smin. Egypt, Cuba, Syria, and Kazakhstan (with Belarus camo as well) all had strong connections to the USSR for the duration of the Cold War.
Worst argument is Kazahkstan/Belarus, as both were republics of the USSR.
Best argument/analogue to this is Egypt, although I’d argue the Camp David accords we’re done diplomatically, whereas the Iranian revolution was, well, a revolution.
This also doesn’t really address the poor historical/geopolitical considerations that both the IRIAF F-14 and the T-90S “Bhishma” imply (even though you’ve said the developers don’t consider historicity, alliances, or geopolitics in these decisions).

All weaponry is subject to individual case review now. If it had / used / tested / manual’d it, its open for consideration, but not guaranteed to be implemented.

Can you please clarify, NZ has no sub tree or NZ is a UK sub tree?
I agree, I didn’t mean to remove the current camo and replace it with IIAF, they have to do a dual release as you said.
I guess it should be placed for the US tech tree since they were exported from the US to Iran, but there are so many complaints about its placement.
Is this still going on ?

my brother in christ stop crying, it’s not as if the Brits didn’t express any objections at all…
The Iranian F-14 is going to America because lo and behold, the F-14 was designed and built in America.
Is there a double standard to do with “designed and built” when you compare it to Britain/Indian Subtree? Absolutely. Does the F-14 fit in the Russian tree? Probably not. Does it justifiably fit anywhere else other than USA? Probably not.

Still man, the R-27R is no slouch. I’m also admitting the R-27 is a GOOD missile, perhaps even OP, especially with the F-14 radar, which is the main point.
Might as well start advocating to disband the split tree system. Probably better at this point if you are able to grind whatever you wish from each nation and put in a single final lineup. They could even do historical events based on lineups this way

I am actually quite impressed with the War Thunder crowd not crying about an Iranian plane in an American tech tree.
“Wow that will cause so much trouble” er no apparently not.Good stuff.
Bro nobody wants or cares for the boring history lesson here,its a game and its an F14 on the American side with all the other f14s…noice

The F-14 is an American aircraft sold via export to Iran at a time when relations were good. Iran has no sub tree nation in game, therefor its vehicles can go wherever they are most applicable.
In this case, that would be America, since the F-14 has no connection to Russia other than its R-27, which as already noted, is within several nations arsenals in game.
The Bishma was added to the British tree, as we have mentioned numerious times now, because India is a designated sub tree of the British tree. Meaning its vehicle will be deployed there.
So once again, TL:DR
- If a nation has a sub tree home > It goes to that nation
- If a nation does not have a sub tree home > it can go wherever its deemed most appropriate, suited or needed most.

At the right BR, absolutely. The kinematics of the AIM-54’s aren’t great, but for the BR, they’re more than sufficient.
NZ does not have a set sub tree.
