Didn’t realize premium Netz had JDAMs too.
Man. Really rubbing in how it’s just straight up better than the tech tree one at the same BR huh.

Not the first time gaijins done it, the XS was 10.3 for 6 months before gaijin changed its BR while having more missiles IRST and flares.
Hell even now the XS has a lower BR in sim than the J35D lmao
I mean Spain would make sense for Italy, at least as much sense as anyone else who might get them, but there really was nothing tying them to each other, like with Italy and Brazil.
At least with Britain and Germany, they try and claim nations that seem genuinely connected for the most part, emphasis on the most part, but with Italy Spain seems more common to mention than any of the other minor Axis powers, including Yugoslavia which could give them a significant number of vehicles, or even Croatia, which would give them the Rafale xD
Id understand stuff like the Cent 2 and such for Spain since its an Italian vehicle. But then you get the majority that claim Spanish F-18 must be added while already having one of the best air trees in game… or wanting the Finnish Patria with the hitfact 2 turret being the only reason. Im just saying they aren’t that different when it comes to Germany or Britain. Its just you see it less often.

Huh?
I see it this way
Italian-made vehicles in Spanish service - Italy tree
Other nation-made vehicles in Spanish service - Other nation tree
Spanish-made vehicles in Spanish service - Italy (in my opinion)
Reason being that Spain is not sufficient for it’s own tech tree. The few domestic vehicles do however fit in Italy since both are Mediterranean, Latin European, and former minor Axis powers.
I’m thinking about the VEC-M1 and BMR SIDAM, both would fit thematically into Italy which is quite “wheeled and light armored” themed

Well, so far there are no Spanish-made vehicles in the game
About Spain being a former minor Axis power, they only were Axis aligned prior to WW2 and generally Spain is not considered a Axis power.
The BMR SIDAM, if that even gets added, would go to Italy either way due to the turret
I believe the matador is a spanish harrier, not 100% sure on that or it was at some
Of the things coming this update i am probably most excited for the tracked rapier and F/A-18A and not much else.
AV-8S or VA.1 Matador was the designation for the Harriers bought by Spain. The designation is the only thing that’s Spanish about them.

Tbf i only knew it had something to do with spain
I think the Spanish variants did have some unique modification like a fairly decent RWR, but yes. The Thai AV-8Ss are just exported Spanish AV-8Ss which are virtually the same as the AV-8As

Well, the Thai AV-8S after former Spanish AV-8S after all lol
more precice the Sky Guardian 200 (basicly the same as the one from the Shar FA.2) wich bouth of the Thai harriers get with the next major.
Thinking about buying the AV-8S Early now with the RWR change and the FM changes coming now.
gonna make a fairly decent CAS plane at 9.7 with the RWR, the 214 Flares/chaff and i would probably use the zunis with the rocket ccip + rearm at the heli strips.

Ah, very nice. Yes that is a very good RWR. I wonder if the Sea Harrier FRS1 (SQV) is also getting a better RWR
Id be fine with that but i do not believe Italy needs more diversity like the Patria Hitfact 2 nor thr F-18 they do not need those nor will they ever need them when domestic options are available or gaps are already filled. Cent 2 wpuld already be nice and a Spanish Model will likely arrive as a premium. I agree with your view of it unfortunately quite a few don’t agree with it in that same way.

oh thats mega, a reason to bring the AV8S over the A. shame it never had 9G as i prefer them over the P but thats cool
T.10 for sure just too bad i wont be buying it until a sale. So far everything else has been pretty trash for all my other nations. Only 1 decent F18 is coming and so overall its pretty meh. Looking forward to the Su-30 though.
