No man, the Japanese got the F-16 because they would’ve lacked competent CAS otherwise. Germany has CAS, and it has usable options for air. Is it a good situation? No, but it isn’t anywhere close to as bad as the Japanese situation was at the time, and I say this as someone who doesn’t like the F-16J. Germany would be better off getting Argentina and Switzerland as subtrees to fill in their gaps until they get the Eurofighter as opposed to something ahistorical.
Could have just said “no you lmaoo” and spared yourself the trouble. Because that is actually what your replies and the the 3 other people giving each other likes sum up to.
It´s like I just traveled back to 2022 thread when I suggested adding Dutch F-16 to Germany.
Then wtf you doing here? Oh I know, needlesly arguing against adding anything to Germany.
Belgium is part of the French tree now to the chagrin of those who care… it’s done and dusted. This is like me complaining that the IRIAF F-14 should be in the USSR tree (it should). Move on, lmao.
Also to add on to someones previous observation we wouldve had to wait 2 years and 5 months just for guided munitions as cas at top tier without the AJ
Unless I consider introduction of mavericks as well lol
