When you use the CLAWS radar vehicle you cant lock onto what you are looking at, instead it toggles between what it has scanned, meaning that even if its scanned, you have to press 3-4 times depending on how much is scanned, should that be changed?
I never disagreed with Yak-141, just bringing up the idea that some incomplete vehicles are included even if the gameplay need isn’t there, simply because they are interesting.
In this specific case I’d contrast that with O-I, a very iconic tank and one of the few superheavy tanks, yet this one has been repeatedly denied.
Fair in a way, but at the same time Australia isn’t a subtree either and Thailand was already a rather popular idea before the F-16AJ was added.
Personally I don’t mind it as is, or at least wouldn’t if it was accurate to the source material and historical context. But it’s still an example for an exception, something specifically decided on subjective judgement, outside of even Gaijins understanding of rules for additions.
And it’s the most extreme example, representing an aircraft not only incomplete, but not built at all, and on top of that in a state that isn’t historical, but theorized by Gaijin based on them missing some important background information

That confuses me why India was picked since Australia is well represented within Britain already
idk there are more options for copy paste I guess
Tbh I think they added the 111C not because of any Australia/Commonwealth ties but because there is no other non-US F-111 to add in place of the K
Gameplay is not the only reasons vehicles may be considered. Domestic importance, uniqueness, functionality and features as well as its gameplay are all considerations.
Sadly its not really a comparison here. Yak-141 is a very well known and documented aircraft. Everything it had or was going to receive is clear, its flight tests and evaluations are all well recorded, as was its weaponry and equipment.
O-I is a very different case. As the devs have already answered quite a few times, its spesifically the information gaps and lack of overall clear information that are the primary reason it has not been introduced. Much of it is still not clear. Whilst that is very clearly the subject to debate for many, its not something that yet again needs to be opened up for discussion here as off topic.
Indeed its not, its vehicles were deployed to wherever is most applicable already before the F-111C, including some already in the UK tree. Any vehicle that is not a sub tree can be deployed as such. Particularly if there are multiple that are applicable. In this case, the US had no need of the C as the F was present, with the C filling the K requirement for many.
But not yet at the time a sub tree or implemented nation in game at the time.

So does that mean if there isn’t away any Australian tech can’t fit it’s tech in it’s home nation the likely hood that Britain is considered is a high possibility ?
Any nation that does not have a sub tree set can go to any nation that is most applicable, in need of it or relevant. This doesn’t just apply to the UK.

Is this same idea applied to ground vehicles?
Chinese helicopters require FNF missiles, AKD10 cannot be used as an effective weapon in the next version

same can be said about british, american, japanese and swedish helicopters

CM502KG on the Z-10ME & JAGM-MR on the AH-1Z 100%

Unfortunatly the JAGM-MR doesnt have a significant range boost over Hellfire L, being just 8km
thats basic JAGM, MR is 16km
The CM502KG warhead is not a HEAT warhead, but a HE/SAP.The TNT equivalent is only 11KG. Gaijin should add it to the game and balance the locking range of the guide head to 8-9KM

shouldnt it be 12-15km. i dont think balance should mean a seeker range limitation, when counterparts exist so it wouldnt be OP
Especially since, after the update, China will be the worst for high tier CAS.

Not only CM502KG， GR5、FS70 has not been obtained
Why would I want to spend time developing a Z10 that costs 400,000 R&D, but only has a little more protection, a search radar, and DIRCM?
