Remember that UK is not a commonwealth tree, so even if SA gf were added, it means nothing to air tree

They will still be in Britain but I guess GE or events aircraft. Though I do like the idea of a naval style tree for air. So we can have a separate SAAF tree within Britain but not part of the main tree.
Pretty much.
As long as things like the A-10,A-6,F-5C,Su-25s, and whatever else they have remain profitable jet premiums gaijin will always pander to the US and USSR air trees before anybody else.
Other trees get things of course but it’s pretty obvious who gaijins preferred nations are for aircraft at current.

Germany was in this category during ww2-coldwar era. Now it fell off.

That could work. I think it sets a bad prescedent to be slapping Commonwealth stuff in as well. I play Britian because Im British and I want to use British stuff. Not South African stuff. Would just suck
Its a stupid Catch 22.
They’ve made US and USSR completely dominant and thus extremely popular
Because US and USSR are extremely popular. They add all the new/best stuff to them to keep them dominant.

The so called domino effect. Who would have guessed?

Another reason is the constant crying if the other nations has something better.
Patch x with a new air vehicle/missle for Russia:
US mains: Wahh it’s unfair Russia has something, which is slightly better than our plane/missle.
Patch x+1 with a new air vehicle/missle for US:
Russian mains: Wahh it’s unfair US has something, which is slightly better than our plane/missle.
And this goes on since ages (I think since the mig21 was added)
Meanwhile All other nations get power creeped
F-5C anyone ?
And I’ll bring up Norwegian F-5As (unupgraded) again since they are closest to US F-5Cs that have countermeasures

Good little SV for Sweden too
Its an 11.7 type vehicle, that’s pretty top tier.
Mig-21 & Vampire are both imported vehicles.
@Deathmisser
Gripen is likely 12.3, and before that was Atlas Cheetah, a ~10.3 max vehicle.
There was little reason to add SA aircraft to the air tree yet, and now there is.
source trust me bro lol
Apex predators was the first time in a long while that they at least attempted to add roughly equal aircraft to multiple nations at the same time. And that was the first time they did something like that in almost 2 years(?) Yeah it wasn’t perfect and some nations got the short end of the stick but all things considered the Update was actually relatively balanced for what it was
And… they haven’t done it since.
The F-16C and MiG-29SMT were wholely uneeded additions and they should have waited until at least the Christmas patch to add them.

Main things were: F-16, Mig-29, Tornado IDS versions, 2000D R1 and 37D. Nations that got 16 and 29 were treated good, everything else not so.
Unforutantely Britain was not one of those nations because apparently a Torando Gr1 is on par to Mig 29 or F-16
Wha who the hell said that lmao
Here, and gaijin
Hmmm I say the Tornado is a support aircraft not on par with anything
The closes thing gameplay wise is Mig 27
