Latin American Air Forces Tree

i dont think the chilean/brazilian ones have those mods.

the chilean and brazilian ones were mostly modified in the weapon systems thats why they carry derby/python 4s.

iirc the mexican f5s only carry the 9J so it could be added at like the same br as the american one

tho i think the chilean ones at least have that tail mod

I’ll have to do more digging and compare more pictures. I do lnow brazil bought F-5 airframes from jordan as well, which could potentially have the w6 lex and or tigershark nose. More research needed to validiate these assumptions.

Super Etendard with domestic payload validates its addition to the tree, in my opinion. This is gonna be the top tier for the naval line.

LATAM making progress, one vehicle at a time. First the AMX A-1A, now the Kfir C.10 Block 60.

I think a LATAM version Benelux (Argentina/Chile) subtree in the Israeli tree would be appropriate.

Does this tech tree have a flag to represent it?

I think Brazil for being the biggest country among all the Latin America countries

It does not. In my opinion the best approach to this would be to create a flag for this coalition, just like the competing company made for their game with warships. But this is only for the tree itself, as the vehicles can be individually represented with their countries’ flags.

It’d be unfair to pick one country’s flag over all others, and that’s for a couple of reasons:

  • No single country can stand on its own across all ranks in any tree;
  • No single country has the top rank vehicle in all trees;
  • No single country has the majority of vehicles in all trees.

(I know I haven’t posted the helicopter and naval trees yet, but you can trust me on these claims.)

This project was made from the start with full commitment to the concept of a coalition tree.

Just paste the silhouette of central and south america in a random color background.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I present some new information I’ve come across regarding a vehicle that was suggested here:

I’ve been doing some digging, and I found something you all might enjoy to see, as I found a rare image of a M.D 450B Ouragan in service with El Salvador which depicted it with a very unique feature:

That my friends, is a pylon for mounting/using the Shafrir 2 AAM. I’ve always read the El Salvador had/used the Shafrir AAM, but could never figure out what they used it on, and today via this article:

I’ve uncovered that it was actually very likely tested on this aircraft, and not just any Shafrir, the Shafrir 2 nonetheless!! This addition would officially make this aircraft a unique addition to the game, (and although I would prefer if it went to the Israeli TT) it could bring uniqueness to a potential LATAM TT in this configuration!

The Shafrir 2 exhibit in its current state, most recent of images is from 2 years ago:
and would you look at that, right next to the front of a Ouragan turned into an exhibit… I wonder what that could imply… (if anyone lives in El Salvador and wants to grab a pic of that Plaque next to it, you’d be my hero!)






The article cites the following sources: (which I may need to get my hands on in the near future 👀)

Anyway, that’s all for now, hope you all enjoyed my findings!

Awesome find. I too read about it using Shafrir 2 somewhere, but could never find proof of it. Thanks for sharing!

Now I wonder if it could carry those missiles together with at least one rocket pod on each wing. It’d turn it into a pretty flexible fighter and stand out even further from the other Ouragans already in game.

Just no, thanks.
