Ah, thank you.
A bit, though I think a bigger issue was adding BOL pods and things of the like on fighters. I just don’t think you can balance the game when you have so many CMs on a single plane just blanketing the skies. On a strike aircraft that can only defend itself, sure, but fighter planes should have the option of periodic flare dump to be immune.
Perhaps, though I think the burn time reduction for BOL mitigated that quite a bit and the flat nerfs for BOL were just unncessary, many aircraft are suffering from that nerf rather unfairly.
Only really the Gripen is an edge case issue where its not having issues
for the tanks, yeah, 5 of them with additional japanese design would completely fix the line-up issue in the upper section, this is not where Japan suffer the most. and they still have a few designs to add. But Thailand also have a dozen more vehicles still in service that would help as well.
for aviation, yeah, adding the many aircraft that Thailand had used and still use would definitively fix the lack of vehicles that Japan offers. maybe you need me to make a list, but i recommend you to spend 10 minutes and use Google to look around. Thailand have like 5 variants of the F-5, 2 variants of the Gripen, 6 variants of the F-16, and many other aircraft still in service and more that was withdrawn. so they will really fix most the issues Japan has.
the Grippen J39C can be added right away with a simple reskin, but the J39D may need a new model. i am not sure what new feature the J39D have over the one we have ingame

Jeez dude, not every nation gets a full tree, it’s as simple as that, just be happy that Switzerland is coming to the game at all. It not all about ‘who needs what’ anyway, it’s also about adding vehicles from nations that maybe Gaijin doesn’t want to give a full tree, but they still want to add some vehicles from that nation. Britain didn’t need South Africa, but they were added anyway because they have some unique and interesting vehicles.

They used Gripen C?
Could only find references to them purchasing Gripen E/F
Thailand has Gripen Cs, not Es, they only just selected the E for their fleet upgrade
Searching for “Thailand Gripen” just gives back a load of results for Gripen E/F and nothing for Gripen C. That’s all. If Gripen C then yes, can be added whenever
Finally found a reference on page 3 of google :D
Wiki says 7 Gripen C
Wiki is not my default for “reliable” information

The reason you’re seeing stuff on the E is cuz it’s all the rage now that they ordered it
Yep, very recent news
" Thailand currently operates 11 older Gripens as well as dozens of F-16s"
Right and who gets pods seems arbitrary. Why F-14 but not F-15, for example?
“Royal Thai Air Force JAS 30 Gripen C/D elephant walk”
More sources since wiki is unreliable
