i mean they are RSAF F-15SG operated under USAF squadron, so its kind of a grey area, but even then it has way more to do with US than Japan, by the known standards of addition it should go to the US
Putting South-Korea in the US doesnt make any sence.
Because the US doesnt need a sub-TT, it would make the grind at these br’s for the US even worse.
I’d much prefer to see a NK+SK TT.

Then by the India precedent, South Korea should go to Japan

Well… Take a look at Japan air. They still have 2 empty lines on the right…
I think something else is planned for JP as well.
what does this have to do with F-15SG’s being operated by USAF squadrons?
They definitely need something more than the US, but because every Asia pacific country is better friends with the US than Japan, the US apparently deserves them more as subtrees
excuse me, wrong quote
actually, by that same precedent SK should go to US since Korea was split between USSR and USA, that why we have NK and SK instead of united korea, which is what japan had control of
No, it absolutly doesnt make sence content wise. The US is in no need for a sub-TT.
I’d rather see SK be added as a TT with NK. Otherwise it should be added to JP or Israël.

So, the US gets Singapore and SK, what does Japan get?
thailand and indonesia
doesnt have to be a subtree, they have just added vehicles to whatever the most relevant tree is before
The only example of that in the air tree I can think of is the F-111C in Britain, and that doesn’t necessarily help your argument
The Singapore Hunter has 4 hardpoints which means it can theoretically carry 4 AGM65s so I would need it as a CAS aircraft for 9.3-9.7 (depending on AGM65 and AIM9 modification) in the UK TT
And there is no reason to add it to Japan.
F-14A IRIAF is another solid example.
F-111C i get why they gave to UK, was a special case imo
premium tab aircraft are different, I’m talking about tech tree, you don’t need a subtree for random premiums

but they could add a squadron specific aircraft in the SG’s case, ik for US they have only done it for premium tab so far but nothing stopping them from doing it with tt vehicles.
But then it isn’t going to be a steppingstone to more advanced jets, you’ll have the F-15E late and probably the EX by the time they could add the SG as a squadron vehicle.
Is it a gap filler or just a premium tab, because if it’s the first there is basically no precedent, and if it’s the second then you can no longer claim it’s needed
you have to remember that the one other aircraft like what you’re suggesting, the F-111C, was added much lower than top tier

I’m fairly sure the engine is supposed to be on the inside.
They just want every F-15 under the sun. No matter if they need it or not(note they don’t need any non-domestically operated ones)
