These are however different airframes. The supporting brochure is also not specific about what F-15 that may be and again could be referring to F-15B.
The F-4F manual is a clear cut specific manual for the F-4F and is demonstrated on F-4F airframes in the US. So these two matters don’t really compare.
And the functional difference in ordnance capacity between the F-15A and F-15B, is? It’s generic because it’s a promotional video / Brochure so could be made to work regardless of what the client had in inventory.
If it was limited in some way, it would be mentioned.
Also is it at all likely that the STINGER reports will be actioned anytime soon, it’s been months (8, since they were accepted) at this point and considering how many nations are stuck with the Current (erroneous) implementation as a top-Tier system?
Any news on the sensor fusion of the Rafale/Eurofighter? Or even signature reduction as well? The two most important features of these two aircrafts, surely the devs might have something to say about it after all this time? They are the new aircrafts from the major so I’d appreciate if a developer could provide a response.
I sure did forget the Abrams. I’ll try to put a comprehensive list together. I’ll mark all of the vehicles that are not developed by the UK or indigenously with *.
CAN and AUS (and the one cheeky NZ)Vehicles in the UK tree:
Beaufighter
Beaufort
Boomerang
Boomerang Mk II
F-111C*
Wirraway
ADATS M113*
Ram II
QF 3.7 Ram
Skink
AC I
AC IV
Centurion Mk5/1
Matilda Hedgehog
Haida
Nepal
Tobruk
Leander
Terra Nova
Brantford
Arrow
Fremantle
CAN and AUS vehicles in other trees:
C2A1* (DEU)
2A4M* (DEU)
M4A5 (USA)
Stuart VI* (USA)
Skink (USA)
M1A1 AIM* (USA)
So there are two non-UK or indigenous vehicles in the UK tech tree, and four outside of it.
While these numbers show a trend of export vehicles being represented in their manufacturer’s tech tree, as you suggest, it’s a gap of just two vehicles. That’s not exactly the kind of ironclad evidence that guarantees a specific trend from Gaijin going forwards.
If anything, the fact that there’s more than double the amount of AUS/CAN vehicles in the UK tech tree than outside it would seem to lend a lot more credence to the idea that they are an “unofficial” subtree.
it just shows that gajin is consistent with the rules they did set
all we want those to be followed, we have no problem with indiginous australian vehicles to be gathered at one spot, but importet stuff should go to the manufacturers nation as its the case how they followed the rules
and there is no such thing as un official sub trees, if we start that again everyone and anyone starts claiming the slightest nations again, oh look argentinia is a german sub tree (not the case)
italy has spanish and brazilian sub trees out of nowhere (not the case)
If you start with stuff like unofficial subtrees everyone goes crazy
fact is UK has 2 sub trees already, and has no gaps that would be filled by either canada or australia
most of those imported vehicles would give canada an unfair advantage, steal their core gameplay away, uk loses its uniqueness and so on
