You find it at the bottom of any aircraft Canada built on PC Wikipedia. It’s been a wonders for my Canadian air TT project.

At times it better the official maufators. (I’m looking at you, BAE)

And they will face the same problem of Israel TT, they don’t have enough unique vehicles. They have some very interesting things, yes, but not enough to build a whole TT, fill it with C&P is not fun. It’s like “hey, we made a super overpowered TT with all good vehicles in old TT, come to play and buy some premium packs.”

This is more like a technical source problem.
My personally theory about vehicle’s belonging policy of gaijin is that actual service > tech source(A-5C SU-7BMK) > geopolitical( AC I Sentinel), and make a sub tree means the geopolitical vehicle is promoted as same as serviced vehicle in mother tree.

Poland literally has a series of indigenous pre-war tanks and aircraft.

indeed and those low-tier domestic tanks would be why I play Poland.

(and the Sci-fi tank they are working on whose existence is debate)

Israel has more than enough. Gaijin just doesn’t want to add what is needed.

I mean, not so complete as big TTs, and these TT will be worse.
beside, Israel MBT is and will be a pity from my view. Gaijin better to get some more Israel style stuff.

May I present the best solution;
The YA-7F! (Fricken chads stuck a afterburning engine up the arse of a A-7 lmao)

But in all seriousness, yea A-7 needs an upgrade, hopefully will get one with new dynamic BRs coming soon possibly allowing for Aim-9Ls without having to worry about raising its ground be based on in air RB capabilities. Mavs would be a great start

For a hypothetical light tank line, the AML-90 and AMX-13 can be moved there, with the M-50 replacing them in the second MBT line, and after them can be the AMX-13 60, the Mini Merkava (whatever it’s called), the Sabrah (not to be confused with the Sabra), the Namer, and the Eitan. Not as good as Russia or Sweden, however still enough to be a full line.

merely but true enough for this kind TT, and fun.

Personally I dislike Sweden TT, with extremely rapid development in vehicle numbers and players, filled with C&P overpowered vehicles, almost like what I said:

so now with a rank VIII premium announced just how far do y’all think rank IX is for aviation? Also what could possibly be introduced for rank IX? also what could be some other rank VIII premium jets if they follow the trend of the aircraft being prototypes that never saw serial production?

Rank 9 is not necessarily close but it might be. With premiums now at top rank (not top Br, i know), rank matters even leas to me.

What other stuff we might see? Been asking myself that! Prob stuff like Mirage 50 or the Cheetah. Similar concept as F-20 but not just prototypes. Gen 2 airframe with gen 4 avionics/weapons.

Same goes for certain modernised MiG-21 variants that can carry R-77’s. Not looking forward to another MiG-21 for 3 ranks in a row for some countries. Rhen again…if they add a MiG-21 with proper radar and ARH missiles…that’d be hella fun.

Personally also expecting a J-8 or something for China. Or perhaps a AIM-9P-4 armed F-104. Ideally both 😅

Whatever rank 8 premiums come, I know they’re gonna break my wallet so 1, max 2, per update would be perfect for me. Rank 8 is that rank where an aircraft is pretty much good at air to air and air to ground which is just really fun in Air sim EC so really can’t go wrong with any choice.

American ERA- British NERA/ERA hasn’t been fixed yet.

As a tangent to this, it’s good they’re actually having top rank premiums now (as opposed to the old standard of “move an obviously-top-rank vehicle down one rank so it technically isn’t”), as this makes these premiums drastically more future-proof. Whatever Rank IX ends up having, the F-20 will be able to research them.

What would be really amazing, if unlikely, would be “upgrading” existing premiums to the rank they clearly should be at.

Any bets on if they show off the Canadian leopard as a last minute addition?

There are always last minute additions, RU dev suggests even China will get something more.

Yeah I’m hoping that’s an actual hint and not simple mis speaking on the ZBD-04 devblog
