Yeah, the M1A1 AIM is at the same BR as the M1A2 but with worse penetration than the basic M1A1

It wouldn’t be the end of the world if it went to Britain, it’d finally give me a an excuse to buy the MiG-21 Bison

Justification used to be better thermals but now, unless they move it down to 11.3, it should get KEW-A2

Saying that, if it went to Britain, it would likely be as a premium tab vehicle.
Yeah, perhaps, would be frustrating though if it was another British made aircraft not going to the manufactoring nation because of that reason though. Dont mind if Singapore was the sub-TT of Japan, but if it isnt, then its a tad annoying. Whilst yes Britain could also get the Omani one, we’ve been waiting for either since the Hunter F58 was added and still nothing. Same with the Hawk, could have come 2+ years ago.

Even better! Than I could buy it and be done with!
As long as it not a event/BP vehicle it’s good.
As if Singapore gets a home after it can join then as a prem, but not as a reward vehicle(of any type).

It’s just like US manufactured aircraft going into other trees, like so long as Switzerland becomes a subtree like we all expect then the Hunter there makes sense, same with Singapore and Japan, the issue is if they don’t become subtrees then it just seems mean not to put them in the British tree

Yep, exactly. Feels like at times, there is one rule for 9/10 nations and another for Britain
Looking through manufacturers on the wiki, it doesn’t seem like British manufacturers get particularly poor treatment, the only real example is the Swiss Hunter, and like I said, we all expect Switzerland to become a German Subtree.
The only thing I will say is that I do find this funny
Compare Norinco to any US manufacturer lol
Norinco doesn’t export to any of the nations in war thunder, all US manufacturers do

Wait- the UK has no BAE built vehicle? Despite having stuff from them yikes.
What makes it sader is that it’s not the only one like that.
Ex: Canadair | Manufacturers | War Thunder Wiki
Canadair had primarily built military vehicles/aircraft for Canada up to it later years of it life, yet we don’t have any Canadian ones(and a few others like the UK should have some of it operated Sabers and the Dutch F-5 that was on leak list would be found there(the NF-5 is a further modification to the already modified CF-116)).

Unfortunately, the British CL-13 basically got ruled out because there “isn’t room” for it, even though you could just folder the Swifts and/or Venom + Vampire and create room.
Still holding out hope that they figure out how to do more than 5 lines in a tree and we can get a true Canadian/Australian line to the TT eventually

They have a separate thing for BAE jets. No ground vehicles though
I guess the black night is a joke to you and @StormRyder13. GB does have BAE ground.
Don’t take every discrepancy on the wiki to be gospel.
It isn’t in the BAE system’s manufacturer list on wt wiki, and my bad for not being familiar with every product of BAE
Someone didn’t properly mark the vehicle make the Black night any less BAE?
No, it just means I didn’t see it
Fair enough. I don’t know why the wiki keeps it under vickers while even in the description they say it was BAEs bid for Challenger 2 life extension.
