It’s a joint USAF/RSAF squadron that’s the latest assignment of the 428th FS which has existed for a long time before the F-15SG. So it’s still flown by the USAF
That’s a very weak logic, it’s like saying F-15s stationed in Germany were co-operated by the Germans despite being mainly American flown. The 428th F-15SGs are still mainly flown by Singaporean pilots, trained under USAF.

It is nothing like F-15’s stationed in Germany, the Germans weren’t training the F-15 pilots and ground crew on their aircraft. They weren’t assigned to Luftwaffe squadrons either
What you are claiming is like saying the RAF spitfire squadrons that had Polish pilots shouldn’t go in the British tech tree
And it shouldn’t if Poland has a potential to be a sub tree. It probably doesn’t now, though previous leaks did say a “combined Eastern European TT” might happen so who knows really.
Coming back in topic, what I am trying to do is to advocate for a Singaporean sub tree as much as possible, up until Gaijin finalise their plans to not do so. As of right now, “plans can always change” as they love to say, so I’m holding on to copium as much as possible. And since the Hunter is already in Israel, it just makes sense to me that the F-15SG would be a good temporary vehicle to support Israel’s current lack of an AESA fighter. And even if its not the F-15SG, the F-16C Blk 52 works too since it has gone through Israeli modification, but then you will also make that argument that the F-16s stationed in the US should belong to the US too which is just ??? to me.
Either way it’s a jet Israel is in no real need of and would be no game changer compared to what they already have.
They need something like a mirage 2000 which even gaijin is aware of and I’m sure it’s one of the reasons Greece was chosen as a subtree.

Considering China is almost certainly getting an AESA F-16 I think Israel is probably getting a HAF block 70
Why would Israel need a Mirage 2000, ignoring Greece’s involvement?
Officially, the F-16C Blk 70 has not been delivered to Taiwan yet and is still in the US for testing. The only available AESA F-16 that they can get is the F-16A Blk 72 which has the PW-220 engines, so not very good overall at top tier.
Unofficially ofc, Gaijin can just ignore that entirely and add the F-16C Blk 70 anyway.
Your right i remembered right after I posted and already edited it
And Israel is also in no real need of 4 vehicles with 30mm Bushmasters and SPIKES, but here we are. Japanese mains have been asking for the Hunter to be in the JP tree, but here we are anyway.
Need or not, I’m proposing an alternative.
Something I noticed in a recent datamine. Two of the Senrai Maidens premiums that got datamined, the MBT-2000 and Challenger 2, have detailed information of the tank’s production listed. It has internal designation, the year of production/modification, and manufacturer name.
I don’t think this is something we currently have, It would be nice to see this expanded to more vehicles. It would be a better distinction than the (early) and (late) labels on some vehicles.
Don’t read too much into the stat cards, this is @gszabi99 lang mod at work. It will not show like this in detail for you when it gets released.

Ah, it’s a mod. Do you know where I could get it?
Sadly, that’s just gszabi’s lang mod.
I do recommend picking one of the many up to start using, as oh boy, there are a lot of issues with the in-game names.
I don’t think I’m allowed to post unverified links here? I’ll let you know again if I know where it is, or gszabi himself will send it to you in private.

A bad alternative to what it could get instead.
Israel is to heavily focused on ground pounding
Especially it’s top tier and it’s lackluster when it comes to AtA compared to other trees,
Which is why I suggested the mirage which would help unlike your suggestion which again is still more focused on ground pounding.
Which as I said they don’t need
Why would the F-15SG be any worse than the F-15I? If anything it’s about as good if not better since the F-15SG can have access to the AIM-120C-8 (which is identical to the AIM-120D). And it having AESA means it solves the biggest issue with the F-15I which is the lack of an ESA radar in the first place. So I don’t get what you’re trying to say.
Well the IAF is pretty focused on ground pounding IRL, their aircraft are already good enough to deal with any air threat their enemies currently field so they’ve been strapping bombs and fuel tanks to anything they can for the last couple decades
Well, I can’t link like gszabi’s, as I don’t know where the link to his is. I can link the one I use.
@quartas121 like correct me if I’m wrong, aside from the whole discussion where the F-15SG should go, would the SG not be better than the F-15I, especially having access to 120D and AESA?
