People who threaten to leave never do.

Would be funny if the russian players started a review brigade over the US getting a russian tank though.

Stop building my hope up man. I’m already starting to cope again about us having a non-zero chance of getting a SA gripen. I almost want them to announce the sea harrier so I can get the disappointment over with.

It’s still capable of using them

I feel you, man lmao
We’ll just have to wait and see. God I hope it’s something good…

no, british players are destined to just be sad forever

Kinda off topic but holy moly Singapore Air Force and Army are quite cracked…

  • F-15E, F-16C/D/D+,F-35A , AH-64D
  • Leopard 2SG, Hunter AFV, SSPH-1 Primus

Is there a possibility for it to be a sub-tree for Japan?

I have no idea about their international relations which is why I asked. Singapore sub-tree for UK is also good

for me, ive struggled too find consistent information about them, so it will be interesting too see gajjins take on the missle.

They have very good relations with the UK - places like Singapore and Hong Kong did very well under British rule. I don’t think GJN will give us Singaporean vehicles though. They’ll probably never add them, or just give them to China.

My person in Chrysler, Top Aces’ F-16As (which are ex-Israeli F-16A “Netz”) have been fully demilitarized, and as far as I know have undergone enough modifications by Top Aces to be considered their own thing.

This would be like adding a weaponized F-5N (dedicated F-5N, not just an early F-5E with GE skins) or F-21A Lion (again, not just skins, but modifications as well) to the US tree.

With the AJ (and Yak-141 as well), both were intended as fully operational/combat-ready aircraft, where as anything used in the adversary field (whether it be private or government-owned) has been stripped of any and all weapons.

Truly, if we want a Top Aces F-16A in-game, someone would not only have to make a market skin for the current Netz, but Gaijin may even need to modify it with the Block 15 stabilators and additional CM dispensers (as the Netz was in the mid-late 80s, which is the same configuration the ones used by Top Aces are in)

(further clarification: I can kinda understand where you’re coming from with this, but I don’t think this would be the way to go about it. There very likely are at least some British proposals that may be useable, but that should only be an absolute last resort.)

You and me both know there’s no way US and RU are not getting an aircraft in one of the biggest updates of the year lol.

Beating a dead horse here but I could foresee XF-2A with APG-68 and maybe the US gets their F-15C and nobody else.

Technically could also see an F-2 early if they decide to model AESA as just PD radar that doesn’t need to mechanically scan left/right/up/down. I’m not yet convinced AESA will make much of a difference outside of TWS situational awareness as the missile radar is still non-AESA and with how people play in top tier on the deck, it doesn’t matter. I’d say AAM-3s and missiles of that caliber will shift the meta more like current R-73s and 9Ms did.
