Couldn’t tell you, but you could take some hints from certain Ru staff over on the other forum, from what I gathered they’re waiting for the conflict to end.

that is likely going to be a while, and also even after it is, adding Ukraine to the Soviet tree is just an awful decision.

Not regarding anything about the tree, I have friends on both side of the conflict, I hope it ends soon.

The US is probably the last nation that needs a gap filler, especially not at top tier

US mains don’t actually know what a gap it

Pretty much
This is not the point…
The point is that Singapore should be represented as either a sub-TT or a ASEAN TT.
Singapore operates F-15’s. ASEAN isn’t likely to be its own TT, with Thailand going to Japan, Bangladesh to China and Vietnam being in China and the US - although not confirmed sub-TT’s.
Japan needs the help. Especially since they dont get an equivalant to the Rafale, Eurofighter and soon to come F-18.
The Vipers are delayed on purpose to make them DOA, so that no one will frantically grind Japan, and Gaijin doesnt lose money on level 10 top-tier buying noobs.
Besides, its a C&P vehicle, so its most likely to come as a TT anyway.
Name the naval squad that operated the Vietnamese Coastal boat in the US TT?
Or the Swedish tank battallion that fought in the Finnish T-55.
A sub-TT has nothing to do with influence etc… Ofcourse, some historical ties are related with one another, but not that heavy weighted.
As with BeNeLux E.G. The Netherlands and Luxembourg have nothing to do with France, only the Netherlands has operated a few French vehicles, thats it.
Besides, BeNeLux could have easily be its own thing, especially naval wise. And if they were adding an Indonesian sub-TT to it, it would have been even bigger. Especially since Indonesia used/uses modified Dutch vehicles.

I mean they do just that it’s kinda rude to say on the forums :P
What will come between upgraded F-15E (or C) and F-15EX then? The F-15SA is the perfect step from the F-15C late, and the F-15SG (428th FS) could be foldered under F-15E (late) or as an event vehicle. F-15QA would work as a high tier premium far into future

Anyone still remember the “It’s a German tank there for it must go to Germany at all cost” ‘argument’. xD

What it there between the F-16A and C, or the F-15A and C, or the A10C and AV-8B, or F-111F and F-15E?
They’re all bigger gaps than between the F-15E AN/APG-82 and the F-15EX

Idk much about jets but is the su47 capable of countering the F/A18?
the Russian counterpart to the F/A-18 would probably be the MiG-29K, and the SU-33 depending on which version of the F/A-18 you want a counterpart to
- There shouldve been a block 30 F-16C
- There could’ve been an F-15C early with the late AIM-7 and 9M
- Can’t think of anything off the top of my head for that gap, maybe an F-18D early?
- Should’ve been a gulf war version of F-15E to fill that gap, maybe foldered under main F-15E
- F-15E late and EX would be in 2 separate lines and have very different BR’s due to armament, so there would be a gap. Also, the late F-15E would probably come way before the EX
No, since it was never combat capable, nor ever intended to be. It’s another EAP.
this is all opinion, and you haven’t once complained about a gap in current US aircraft, because of the way they were added it never felt like a gap, and the current gaps are non-issues as they are only single BR gaps in an otherwise full and varied tree, a single BR gap is not a concern
And if we get to take multiple lines into account then I’m sure the F-16C (AN/APG-83), F-15C (AN/APG63(v)2), and F-15E (AN/APG-82), not to mention the F/A-18s could all be made to stretch the gap up until the addition of the F-15EX, I mean there is nothing so inherently amazing about the EX that couldn’t be balanced by its armament anyway.
Also, I do agree with this, more Gulf War aircraft would be nice, same with the F/A-18, though the way to do it is to folder the two F-111s and then put the F-15E (early) in the tech tree before the F-15E we have now
maybe something to do later instead though

if they add the EX, they will probably add it with AIM-260 since thats going to be the USAF new long range missile, which the F-15EX will use. there is also the increased payload of the F-15EX, and its ability to carry 8 AMRAAM/JATM when fully loaded for a2g. a late F-15E would most likely come with an AIM-120C or at most a D though. F-15EX also has Legion IRST pod while F-15E does not
F/A-18’s dont come close to any strike or advanced eagle variant in a2a or a2g ability so you couldnt use even a super hornet to fill a gap of F-15’s, same with vipers as nice as they look. and why do you want APG-63v2 and not v3? it would make the F-15C much heavier if they used the v2.
also, where else would an F-15SA even go if not the USA? the SG can go to japan sure, but the 428th FS still operates them so theyd also go to USA. same applies to F-15QA, qatar is too mixed to give all their stuff to any one nation (and was shortly used by USAF). the F-15SR would either just not come, or come to the US since its the F-15SA upgrades for an F-15S

Yeah that almost 4 br SPAA gap didn’t exist for a long time.
