Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I don’t mind copy and paste sub tree vehicles from other nations if they have a need for them. Like the Swiss 18C for Germany, the OSA for Italy etc.

However I don’t think “I want X vehicle in Y tree because it would be fun” is a good reasoning. Like China shouldn’t get an F-15 “just because it’s fun”, while they have enough domestic options.

At that point you might ad well start deleting trees altogether and make 5 giant universal trees, for helis, ground, air and naval.

There’s more than just these two, and also non Sino-Soviet equipment operated by other countries.

China has many options. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and North Korea are ones that come to mind for me, and I know for a fact there’s more. All That while already having two Chinese nations with their separate militaries combined in a tree, one of which being a military superpower.

So why take from the smaller pool of western aligned nations that are friendly towards Japan?

SU-34 referenced in the datamine, for people that weren’t convinced

Questions were less about whether there’s Su-34 files or not, and more about whether its actually coming this update or not.

Fair enough. This doesn’t mean it’s coming this update, but I would say it makes it more probable

it’s flight performance is worse, similar Air to Air loadout, and good but CAS loadout.
The problem is still how gaijin model it’s radar.

Some people are still never going to trust leakers anyway even if it gets a 110% accuracy mark on it lol. Good to take leaks with a grain of salt and as a reference point but outright denying it is just breathing copium tablets at this point.

Why does that matter at all? Western radars have been completely fantasy modelled for years, why should the Su-34 be any different.
