India is one of those nations that could’ve came to the game independently like Israel. They’re constantly developing new technology/vehicles that’s likely only going to get more in-depth as years going on, creating a sufficient vehicle pool to use.
I get adding it to the UK to create diversity but it was a bad move. Australia, Canada, and/or New Zealand made more sense.
I mean why does the UK need a Su-30, MiG-29, Tejas, Typhoon, Rafale, Mirage 2000, and Gripen? That’s insane. Makes more sense for India to be by itself since it’s such a mix of East and West technology.

I just hope they remain premium/event only. (limits what can be added)
Keep the TT for British stuff (and the few but necessary SA stuff)

Im currently fearing we get the Su-30 instead of the Typhoon this December

That would be unbelievably stupid so its probably going to happen.

Like HAL Tejas I would be fine with but an Su-30 or Rafale going to the UK would just be dumb…
Like I can just imagine the teaser
French Rafale taking off from a Carrier…
Germany Typhoon Scrambling from an airfield…
Indian Su-30 intercepting somethng…
and then we have to wait 3 months to get the Typhoon ourselves

I’m sure it will be Typhoon, and not only UK, but GER and ITA
Its just an irrational fear. but has some basis in reality for Brit mains.
(but yes, all 3 should get it at the same time. Would never thing otherwise)
Id almost forgive that. it would actually be unique. I still dont think its necessary anytime soon and SA which is our primary sub-TT has only 1 aircraft in game. So if anything non-british stuff is added, it should be their stuff.
(Personally I think the Buc S50 would be quite fun with the RATOs)

I don’t think it’s really basis, considering what you wanted isn’t equal to those you don’t want. Gnat or Hawk will never replace bison as a rank7 prem. and that’s why gaijin went out UK to find something
Rank 8
Perhaps not. But Saudi Tornado F3 or Gr1 or Harrier Gr5 would have easily replaced the Mig-21 as a Rank 8 Premium.

Hard to say, but I guess GR5 means ARH prem, which is not acceptable, and Tornado F3 isn’t competitive for prem players.
Harrier Gr5 is a Harrier Gr7 with Aim-9Ls instead of Aim-9M
No radar, No ARH
True they are quite bad usually.
India Sea Harrier FRS51 (Magic IIs and Derby) could have even made a better premium than the Mig-21, though I agree, ARH should be left or Premiums for the forseeable future
The jaguar is a British vehicle operated by India…
Only domestic vehicles made by India should be in the British tech tree

then it’s far away from rank 8
Harrier Gr7 with 4x Aim-9Ms has the same BR as the Mig-21 Bison
Harrier Gr5 (or even the G5A for the upgraded engine) with 6x Aim-9L would likely be 11.7. That is easily Rank 8 (still has the 700 CMs and MAWS and everything)

Like AV-8B basic (aka AV-8B Day Attack) from USMC. no forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, night-vision goggles (NVG) and laser designator targeting pod
Harrier GR.5 basic not equipped BOL countermeasures
