Actually a iranian sub-tree for US sounds good

BasherBenDawg8 · August 7, 2024, 5:57pm

(I mean hey it’s better than “Iran subtree for Israel” xD)

Kingtiez · August 7, 2024, 5:57pm

Wasted potential if that were the case.

Mercenario54 · August 9, 2024, 2:25pm

Iran could not be a subtree for any nation at all, specially russia or usa (simply because they do NOT need a sub tree)
If Iran ever comes, it has to be an independent tech

I think we need to stop steering towards sub-trees because all it will do is inhibit the nations full potential like India in the UK-tree for example. Sub-trees should be for nations that only have a small handful of unique vehicles, not full potential nations. Another method is if they’re part of a close-knit group of nations like Visegrad Group or have a historical connection like a United Korea tree or like how the PRC and ROC are. Granted this context is extremely situational, it should be considered per nation and the capacity of its potential host nation if it’s necessary. Also the capabilities and history of the nation’s defense industry. Finland and Sweden (and smaller Nordic country’s) for example, are a very good match because they’ve maintained defense industries/close relations, and have a good balance of vehicles to add. Finland helps fill gaps in Sweden’s core tree since Sweden is a smaller nation tree-wise but has potent vehicles. India does nothing for UK as the UK still has several other indigenous vehicles to be added and has 5 pretty full lines. South Africa should’ve been the extent of it with some vehicles from Canada, New Zealand, and maybe Australia (due to it using the M1A1 AIM, and M1A2 SEPv3, too much of a disparity when the Leopard’s from Canada could’ve been just added after the Vickers Mk. 7. Though, the ADF’s AIM would’ve been a better squadron vehicle than the Bhishma for the UK imo.)
We also must accept a lot of new nations are going to have a China-like start (Rank I-IV) with a copy of many vehicles from existing nations until later Ranks when they blossom with their unique creations. It’s just the fact of the matter whether it’s Poland, the Korea’s, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, or Turkey. Copy and Paste is inevitable.
Anyways my point, Iran is a nation with potential, like India, and should be implemented on its own in some fashion and not a sub-tree like how India is. They continuously produce new equipment that varies in capability that allows it to enhance gameplay and keeps the tree evolving. They could’ve even been supplemented by Syrian equipment if needed like the T-72AV (TURMS-T), T-90A, T-62MV, etc. Also, now that the F-14A is coming to the USA, it strips away a vital aircraft for any possible Iran air tree. Disappointing.

if iran tt release they will give f-14a to iran tt from usa tt like what they did to some israeli units

Yontzee · August 16, 2024, 7:08pm

They haven’t though. The Merkava 1/2B’s are different from one another and there’s no Merkava IIID in the Israeli Tree beyond the prototype.

CyrusTheElder · August 16, 2024, 7:15pm

ye thats correct sadly i cant say if gaijin will release iran as a tt or sub-tree but we have so many unique and copy paste units we have that potential to be an independent TT also we can have north korea as our sub-tree or syria since both of them were our allies .

NEW IRANIAN F-14A UPGRADE KIT

mani1399 · August 17, 2024, 12:59am

Brother I’d be happy to have your telegram id. There’re friends who can help you to complete this tt with their knowledge about Iranian weaponry.

Yontzee · August 17, 2024, 1:34am

If this is done, could give another F-14A to a future Iran tree. Word.

Also, an F-14A with AL-31FN’s would be trippy

Kingtiez · August 17, 2024, 2:49am

A tomcat that can actually guide the R-27

Yontzee · August 17, 2024, 2:55am

At that rate, slap an R-77 on it too 🤙

BasherBenDawg8 · August 17, 2024, 3:09am

There’s already technically a few different variations of the Iranian tomcat.
1: The Standard F-14A Iran received: with the Aim-9J (or Aim-9P), Aim-7E-4 (Aim-7E-2 with Aim-7F seekerhead), Aim-54A, and the standard F-14A radar and RWR to boot.

2: Later modified F-14A: Has an upgraded and updated Radar, outer pylons were strengthened/enhanced to carry the Sedjil missile (Sedjil is found on the F-14A IRIAF ingame, and is quite heavy (why the pylons were strengthened)). From what I can find this proposed F-14 variant and the next one should both be capable of also using the Yasser unguided rocket (found on the F-14A IRIAF ingame)

About the Radar improvement:

In 1982 or 1984 at best, an F-14 defected to Iraq and the CIA and the USAF personnel were sent to Iraq to bring the aircraft home for inspection. When the aircraft was taken apart, they noticed domestic parts in the F-14 as well as it’s AWG-9 radar. They noticed that the Iranians had made it 12 pounds lighter and added a few features such as to reduce radio clutter. This would make for quite an interesting upgrade.

3: F-14AM: (I have a feeling the M stands for modern or modernized). Compared to the earlier counterparts, the F-14AM features the Fakour 90 ARH (or SARH lol) missile, according to Iran. It should also feature the R-73E (if the supposed upgrade attempts were successful), however it shouldn’t feature the R-27, as the attempts to upgrade/integrate it failed. The R-73 has been adapted by Iran to both their F-4 and F-5 platforms, so I see no reason as to why they wouldn’t be able to adapt them to this platform as well

R-73E on F-5 & F-4, as well as R-60 on an F-5

Bonus lil F-5 with a R-60 or R-60MK

It should also receive the “Fater/Fatter(lmao)/Fattir” missile (can’t seem to find the real name lmao, wiki and multiple other sites say it’s called the Fatter, but the image shows Fater, and I’ve also seen Fattir thrown around), which is essentially an upgraded Aim-9P with a claimed 40km of range (highly doubt it lmao).
