I live near a General Dynamics factory in the UK, therefore I demand Gaijin give the UK TT the F-16 and M1 Abrams and LAV’s /s

If Gaijin gives Nigeria to the UK, then technically there will be a Nigerian VT4. Which id prefer over whatever the hell these challies are. Plus Thailand.
I mean, this one dose make sense. As there are relations to it.
As the LAV is a Canadian family, and the first one even uses a British scorpion turret. Along withe Australia and New Zealand also using them.
looking into GD-UK now, they do way more than i thought they woukdve done, pretty cool with the Ajax and apparently avionics for the eurofighter
That’s a big if, Nigeria is pretty low down on the list of potential British subtrees
The Vietnam part of the cinematic reminds me of that time when I was playing on long tan as ANZAC and the commander completely wipes out B with a canberra run. 1 dead VC and like 5 ish auzzies lol
Don’t expect much from the VT-4, other than the fact it is slightly more mobile it’s actually in many ways just as bad, or in some other ways even worse compared to the Challengers.
On paper doesn’t look horrible, in practice it is.
id agree with you if it wasnt for BAE systems Inc. being composed of a bunch of US companies as well as BAE systems, i mean it directly states it mitigates the foreign ownership which means a lot of stuff kept and run in US, presumably by US employees
Nigeria was never a unique colony and I would disagree with any moves that puts Nigerian vehicles that are not British in the British tree naturally speaking. Practically speaking gaijin is yet to juice out whatever copypaste India had to offer. Like, they are building pantsir-SE currently and the machines would be made in India, hmmmmmmmm
It’s BAE systems US you have to look at the BAE systems PLC.

You were the one that brought it up dude. Not sure what gave you the idea that it’s something I want?
Yeah, BAE Systems Inc is a subsidiary of BAE Systems plc xD
BAE Systems Inc. is the official name for BAE Systems US
Like I said, it’s a subsidiary
Look at the link I updated my comment with. I understand the BAE inc website about us seems a little misleading.
so is GD-UK and GDLS-C, i think to make defense industry subtrees that would work, foreign subsidiarys that are comprised of many domesic companies, especially if there is a special agreement for the express purpose of mitigating foreign ownership, should not be considered part of the defence industry subtree for the nation of the parent company to preserve some national uniqueness
i mean i dont think either of us want Ajax or LAV 6 in USA
im aware its a subsidiary, but from the other things i read it seems to operate with a greater degree of autonomy from BAE systems plc than most other defence subsidiaries
Or maybe manufacturer subtrees just don’t really work very well. I mean all you actually want out of it is a hundred and three versions of the F-15
and that is so it can work on US military projects, it needs to be US based for secrecy reasons, that’s how BAE got to work on projects like the F-35, but it is still a BAE subsidiary and unless you start making caveats to the manufacturer tree idea would still be British

only 3 F-15’s that would need a manufacturer subtree to come to US
could you name them and the specific reason you think you need them?
