For the overall health, i think its better to put ASEAN in Japan and South-America in Israël.
But keep the C&P out of Japan, its one of the only - almost totally unique - techtrees left.
Also, they might add the Bronco with Thailand, because Thailand operated multiple variants of it.
I would say Thailand comfortably fills some the post 8.0 air holes (Most notably CAS in the form of the Alphajet, incoming harrier, and Gripen Cs), with some fun ground additions (Super upgraded FV101s which still retain the base 76mm gun and Stingrays + offers a pretty good place for the Ukrainian T-84 & BTR-3E)
I would say Indonesia would fix the SPAA issues though (With a Starstreak based system amusingly enough) however does lead to the same problems as India for the UK where then it’s free game to pretty much everyone’s tech (As the Indonesian operate aircraft from pretty much everyone, e.g. Hawks from the UK, F-16s, SU-27 & SU-30, and Rafale)
Both operate the KAI T-50, but iirc only Indonesia’s is armed.
I still think the TAM series should be added to Israel too. Honestly you could make a whole line out of stuff Israel has developed for (or sold to) LATAM nations.
Yeah, China is spoilt for choice with Anti air going forward.
My reason is admittedly a little more selfish. ISR / CN are often on the opposite team, and it would irk me after suffering for so long with Chaparral to immediately see the ‘other side’ get access to what we’ve been painfully waiting for.
I used to hate the chaparral but got used to it - I wish the E version of the missile had its smokeless motor back though. The G version of the missile in the Israeli tree is excellent (I’m pretty sure should be smokeless as well) but it is at BR 10.0 which Israel has no tanks to match which sucks.
Unfortunately it seems like Gaijin is almost allergic to adding new domestic light vehicles for China. Type 15, VT-5, and some of the new vehicles that are shown in the Zhuhai air show. And none of it is in the game right now.
This makes me wonder when the F-2 comes if that’s going to be the thumbnail for the update as that’s a pretty iconic aircraft. I guess it depends on what other aircraft come with it.
Maybe I'm biased but the "blue F-16" is pretty photogenic
