Germany is tied with Japan with having the least amount of rank 8 jets with 4. Only Sweden with 3 has less.

Historical thing.

Still better than the unhistorical 10 vehicles for Rank VII Ground Germany and 3 for France.

Germany has a lot of future additions yet left while Japan only has like the f-2. Relax, you’ll get your f/a-18 and eurofighter soon

I just want a P-3 Orion or my Kawasaki P1 man ( and the F2 obviously)

why add the Su-34 before the F-18? all these 4.5 generation fighters

So which dev stream come first ? Engish or Russian?

English now I believe

You act as though I like the trialed shit Japan and Sweden have. Japan I can at least see the rationale at the time, but Sweden didn’t need any of the equipment it trialed. I’d also expect, and hope, the trialed stuff in the Japanese tree gets removed once they get their subtree as Thailand is fully able to plug those holes.

And it’s not a ton either, last I recall the only trialed vehicle in the Japanese tree is their F-16, and Sweden has two with the T-80 and their squad Heli, both of which they have no need for and should never have gotten.

What Helicopter could have been placed in the Mi-28As place then?

Nothing, if it’s a squadron vehicle they don’t need it in the first place, and helicopters aren’t good enough to be needed. In my experience, a fixed wing of the same BR can do everything it can do but better, so I don’t feel helicopters are so important that you need to go ahistorical with trialed vehicles.

Its a Premium.

Datamines suggest they are being worked on 🤷‍♂️
Who says you necessarily “chill for 30 minutes” in them.

Then I’d replace it with a premium based off of a specific helicopter within the Swedish army, like the premium Leo, KVT, and Clickbait.

And then have Sweden not have a prem heli on par with everyone else like Japan?

And germany even

the RU stream on twitch said 5am to 7am, so when is the English stream since they dont have the schedule up?

I don’t think there are any Heli premiums that aren’t either minor mods of a TT heli or TT Heli in service with another nation, so it wouldn’t be any different then the other nations.

Outside of an event Heli in the US, but it’s an early heli so it’s kinda shit.

Well then youre also removing our end of the line AHS as well with nothing to replace it anytime soon

Ok then, just use a fixed wing aircraft instead. In my experience helicopters are a vastly inferior option to a comparable fixed wing. They aren’t useful enough where you need to grasp at straws if a nation doesn’t have anything to fill the tree out.

That fixes nothing lmao, this is literally the EXACT reason they had to resort to tested aircraft, you have to remember our best CAS before the Gripen WAS Helis

Sweden has the AHS, Mi-28, T 80, and Tiger 2

Japan has the F-16, M47 and M36
