It has a few, but it also has a load of its own stuff as well. More than enough for a decently sized tree without adding a single US license built aircraft

still American heli?
a huey is still a huey
fair enough. but doesnt stop them from adding more stuff to US and USSR heli trees which some people are apparently opposed to
So an AV-8B+ is a British aircraft and therefore the Spanish EAV-8B+ should come to the British TT.
A Harrier is still a harrier

thats the McDonnell Douglas AV-8B. they are made in USA except for engine no?
and it was a joint project between the 2 that the UK dropped out of then rejoined after MDD did a lot of stuff.
however id rather teh EAV-8B+ go to US or Italy since both use MDD Harrier II but UK uses BAE Harrier 2. there are actual differences between them too
No one is “opposed” to it. But the
This is the US tree
This is the USSR
This is Japan
This is Britian
This is Italy (but looks mostly Hungarian)

So… Its a License built harrier that the US modified? Just like how its the Augusta-bell AB 212 which the Italians modified extensively to fit their needs

it isnt license built its also designed in US
what is so different about the AB212 anyways?
The US and USSR have around double the number of Helis everyone else has at the moment. Its not unreasonable to put them on pause for an update or 3 so that everyone else can get new helis. Besides, until MMW is added. There is relatively minimal value from adding other variants to both as far as I am aware, apart from maybe spike equipped AH-64E. (I think JAGM-ER is too good if it has 16km range)

They can get the Japanese SH-60, Thai EC AS550 C3, maybe Thai AH-6 pending on armament, and Thai AH-1F. Still very limited though. There’s also other nations they will likely add.
Edit: They could add Singaporean AH-64D, Indonesian AH-64E, and Indonesian Mi-35P as well.

no. we still have more hueys, cobras, MV-22, etc etc to add. they can add more than one heli per update
Mostly in the ASW kit, but the better/clearer example might be the Augusta Bell AB.204B which was an Huey
Although similar to the UH-1B, the Italian version, more specifically the AB-204B would not be a carbon copy of the American helicopter. Differences included a new propulsion system, which instead of the standard one that was used, it would be instead replaced with a De.Havilland Gnome H.1200

There are also truckloads of prop planes and old tanks that they could be adding, but they aren’t.
Just because stuff exists doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to get added.

same applies to everyone else then. if devs had that view nothing would be added
But you are missing the point. Yes you have loads of options left to add. Everyone does, But they dont add 1 heli per nation every update. Its usually just a handful. Storm Warning added a single dutch AH-64D. If we assume that they average, say 3 per update. Then focus on the 8 nations that have half the number of aircraft as the US/USSR for a few updates.

Thailand also ordered AH-6i, which could be added, no top tier though. Maybe COIN aircraft are an option in the future (AT-6TH).

And why do you think that they should be adding more helis to the nations with stacked heli trees then?
because we have a ton of unqiue helicopters and tiltrotor to add?
and how is that different to anyone else?
