Bruh, only thing slower than that on the Autobahn is the average Dutch tourist with a camper…except they are stuck on the left lane for some reason.

@someweirdname would this be better?

Japan will get a Thai kite in the next version, the Japanese CAS will gradually improve after Thailand joins, JAS39 will make the Japanese CAS better.

Speaking of China, China has a lot of good planes and weapons and can even put out five planes in two versions like the US. But gaijin did not do that, gaijin had not yet realized that China could be very strong and perfect in modern combat.

Other countries, like the UK, have fewer and fewer vehicles to put out, just copy and paste again and again. But weapon performance should not be tarnished, the SU34’s balance is a disaster, and I even feel a bit sorry for British players.

Just curious on how many AIM-120s the F-15E will carry? 1M 😂

Damn, didnt know they gave it 3,628,800 spikes.

China +1

To be fair Thailand still very much lags behind in terms of guided air to ground weaponry. It’s an improvement, but not enough to raise the standard to one equal to other nations, especially with the insane CAS they are handing out in the form of Su-34 for example.

That being said, I fully agree with what you’re trying to say here. It’s weird to see such big jumps in technology, but only for few nations while others already lagged behind and don’t get their equivalents or even a way to counter it properly.

I still expect a surprise addition for Chinese air though. From this point onwards they do have a lot, enough to match the US/RU trend of an aircraft each update at least for a while.

we shouldnt need to add swedish stuff to japan for it to get a good cas plane man theyve got a lot of their own stuff, e.g the F2 why isnt that here yet.

Britain also had many upgrades for the jets they used and tanks.

the fact that half of the indigenous stuff from the 60s, 70s and 80s just isnt in most of the trees is absolutely shocking.

look at america, russia, or germany compared to any of the other minor nations. France and Britain In real life are considered world powers xD they are not minor nations, china as well is a global super power in its own right, yet are left with half padded out trees. its just a shame man with all teh stuff they could add but always go for copy paste due to saving as much money as possible.

like aim120A and aim120B in reality? the B is an upgraded missile and performs better. in game? they are exactly the same. why would they even make a B model to make it the exact same missile xD

best they can do, is another leopard

you would think US cas would be one of if not the strongest in game followed by british due to the military doctrine.

yet as you say, why do some countries get cas, even brimstone now is better than most of what japan, china, italy, Germany, sweden and isreal can field.

never mind only one nation having an spaa that can counter these calibres of weapon systems. i

id rather see the game become balanced, focused on making trees equal , than just ramming copy n paste into every minor nation n calling it a day

8, like they can currently

Interesting.

The A → B upgrade is purely software upgrades and refinements to the tracking hardware. For all intents and purposes are identical :shrug:

The way I see it it is inevitable to have subtrees if the game wants to have equally capable factions. But I also believe that trees should be structured differently.

Instead of one nation with other nations providing support, it should be multiple countries that are simply foldered. That way there is no need to flood nations with vehicles of others, but there is still a concept of multiple nations being used together to fix problems that many nations would have on their own.

Effectively it is the same as we have now. For example you would still have Britain and South Africa together in one faction, but instead of both being in the British nation, the British nation is foldered with a South African nation that uses the same lineups.
They can be used on their own if a player wants to, but can also be used together the same way you currently can.
