What is your opinion on the presence of “copy-paste” planes (unmodified planes that are already in the game) in the Latin American Tree?

I don’t mind them/I don’t care about them
I’m fine with them, as long as they are only used to fill gaps or form line-ups
No, I don’t want copy-pastes

Latin American Air Forces Tree

Fan-made promotional image of the tree

Hello everyone. I’d like to present a propostal for a new tech tree for War Thunder: The Latin American Air Forces Tree (or just LATAM tree for short).

This project initially started with a Ground Tree (make sure to check that out too!), but during its development it soon grew to include the other vehicle trees as well. This time we’d like to present the Air Tree, essential for a future implementation of LATAM into War Thunder.

The bulk of the tree consists of domestic modifications and modernizations of foreign planes (like the Finger IIIa, F-5EM or the Mirage 50CN Pantera), as well as foreign planes built to a Latin American country’s specifications (such as the Ca.135 Tipo Peru, Martin 139WAA or the Ba.65 Tipo Chile). However, domestic designs are also featured here with Argentina playing a key role at that (with the Calquín, Ñancú and Pulqui II), plus a smaller contribution by Brazil (with the Super Tucano and AMX A-1).

There is a fair amount planes in the tree that people could consider as “copy-pastes”, but upon closer inspection you’ll realise that they aren’t exactly that. We made sure to pick variants that are not yet in the game (like the A-20K Havoc, a variant featuring a glass nose), following what Gaijin has done in the French or Italian trees. Most of the actual copy-pastes are just premiums.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the complete tree:

Please be aware that the position of the vehicles within the tree, as well as the ranks and battle ratings are merely a suggestion made by us, to get a good sense about the tree. We also took the liberty to work on this tree to make it ready for War Thunder’s future, going beyond the current max BR and rank.

The Air Tree is made out of 14 Latin American Countries. Argentina and Brazil make up more than half of it, with Chile and other countries complementing it.

An amazing air tree tree based on the concept of the already successful existing LATAM ground tree, with the same amount of unique planes, totally different and cool modifications, and also the tree itself being very mixed, with immense potential and also with several countries of its own LATAM getting its own space, +1

BolorPensante · April 15, 2024, 10:50pm

Premium F16 hell yeah

lol

Togheter with the ground tree, pretty cool lineups.

Happy Mexican P-47 noises
ratatatatatta… rrrrraaatatatatatata

Fun fact: Mexico has F-5E and F-5F (idk the difference) we only have like 4 currently lmao.
Also Vampires and some version of trainee version of the F-80.

VEIO_da_HAVAN · April 15, 2024, 11:15pm

Finally the Latin American airline! I want to see the football war in War Thunder

foxtrot19673 · April 15, 2024, 11:21pm

it would be nice if the bolivian K-8s were added into the tech tree, it could be the TT’s alpha jet as its kinda made for the ground attack role

Of course +1

BHmaster · April 15, 2024, 11:34pm

I like to see the Pampas as our equivalent of the Alpha Jet, but sure :P

IIRC we just didnt add it because it isnt unique to Bolivia AFAIK, but otherwise a viable addition and at the same time something new to the game

Solzhenitvsky · April 15, 2024, 11:38pm

I noticed that the Brazilian Gloster Meteor was not suggested, so here’s one more for the list, the Brazilian Gloster Meteor F.Mk.8, the first jet fighter that Brazil operated.
*I just saw that the suggestion is more about versions of planes that haven’t yet been introduced into the game, but it’s still an honorable mention.

Chilean_Thunder · April 15, 2024, 11:45pm

A lot of diversity of airplanes of all types, especially the Argentine industry stands out with very cool national designs, but the other Latin American countries are not far behind with unique and powerful modifications, and I would love to see it in the game one day

BlackHawkNight · April 15, 2024, 11:49pm

Don’t forget the Mexican Air Force used the PC-7 as a trainer and a CAS aircraft

DeFra · April 15, 2024, 11:59pm

I was waiting for this, good job collecting all the information and creating the image of the tech tree, there are several interesting vehicles from all countries.

MONENGUE · April 16, 2024, 12:15am

It would be a very good integration to the game.
I noticed that the strikemaster is missing for Ecuador, there is already a skin of the Ecuadorian air force on a British strikemaster but it would be incredible to have your own in the Latin research tree

AspandaIV · April 16, 2024, 12:28am

Normally i’ll be against alliance TT’s and still prefer Argentina and Brazil being their own TT’s but i am fine with this as well

There is some aircraft missing though

IAI Sa’ar: Operated by Honduras

C.101BB: Also operated by Honduras

OV-1 Mohawk: Operated by Argentina

@BHmaster a small correction, in Tier 1 HP-750 Madsen (premium), the armament specifications are with the standard model 3x 7.65 and 1x 11.35

Thanks for pointing that out, it should be 23mm Madsens

Chris_V3SGO · April 16, 2024, 1:55am

This is incredible, so many unique vehicles and interesting modifications of vehicle I already know and love, I can’t wait to try them out.

Can I pre-order that A-29N Super Tucano?

BHmaster · April 16, 2024, 2:07am
