yeah pretty much every single plane from ww2 the british built can now be traced to BAE

fair enough. makes a nice stepping stone between F-15C golden eagle and F-15EX imo

Saudi Arabia is one of the least bad options for an Israel subtree, though I’m not sure it’s the best in terms of complimenting the Israeli tree.

Israel really doesn’t have many friends outside of the US, finding them a subtree is a pain, personally I’m a fan of South Korea, although I think Turkey’s new armoured vehicle developments would be an interesting, and very complementary addition to the Israeli ground tree.

They’re working with Indonesia and South Korea right now

Gonna leave it at that

Like I said, South Korea is my personal pick (I’m assuming they can’t get their own tree) and I think it helps Israel the most where they need it, which is on the Ground, the Chunma would easily be their most competent SPAA, and the K21 would be a unique IFV that doesn’t weigh more than some MBTs.

The only risk would be that it may end up turning Israel, at least their ground tree, into a South Korean tree, at least at top tier, given all the potential South Korean additions at the higher BRs

If we got an F-15A it would be 14.0 with Skyflash DFs 🤣

I’ve heard a fairly good argument for Chile being added to Israel before

Might be why we’ve not gotten Saudi Tornados yet

not that we want or need it. we have cooler planes

Yeah, still funny to think about how much higher BR it would be with worse loadout.

i would like a true 1974 F-15A with AIM-7E-2, AIM-9L, and no countermeasures at 11.3 lol

I know, you are the kind of guy that would want the F-5C to be something like 9.7 if it didn’t have fantasy flares

could go to 10.3, even 10.0 without flares

be like having a harrier 1 at 13.0… oh right that’s a thing

Or a harrier II at 11.3 with 1/3 the CMs of another harrier II at 11.3…

That’s exactly what I was getting at. The F-5C wouldn’t deserve to go down without CMs.
The damage model, flight performance and ice cold engines make the thing so incredibly handheld that it should still be 10.7 even if it didn’t have CMs.

nah that would never happen. gaijin treats all nations fairly and there’s never any anti British biases

In this game? Surely wouldn’t happen…
