" First and foremost, we’d like to let you know the reasons as to why we’re going to be adding this vehicle to the British tree. Britain’s top-tier MBTs are generally niche and are typically geared towards methodical combat engagements. Because of this, additional export MBTs and other vehicles that have ties to some Commonwealth nations will allow for more options and new approaches to Britain’s gameplay. We’d like to note that we are continuing to work on filling the British ground forces tree, which will include various armored, infantry fighting vehicles, and light tanks. These are planned for the future."
People have already done that when India was announced to be british sub tree. There’s no point of bringing back old topics, India is a british sub tree and there’s nothing we can do now.
which Vampire should it be? The IAF used all of these: F.3, FB.52, NF.10, NF.54, T.55, PR.55, T.11
And also which Hunter, the IAF used all of these: FGA.56, T.66, F.56
The Hunters should be foldered, the Vampires could be foldered, but they do differ a lot more than the Hunters do.
Not sure how much the Canberras differ, the B(I).66 would be easier to add though, as it’s just a refurbished B(I).6. The B(I).58 would be a slightly different (uglier) variant with similar specs but a different cockpit/canopy layout
This part is often forgotten after Inida became a sub-tree but due to the F-111C, it’s clear the statement it still in play where they’ll add vehicles from all over the commonwealth if the feel the UK can use it/it have request behind it.
Canadian Leos in UK still makes sense.
UK already has Leo 2’s gun & its whole hull in its TT.
Leo 2s under France makes little sense, wasn’t required.
Arjun has no commonality with the Brits.
I mean, the Canadian Leo boat has pretty much sailed and the Abrams AIM is off the list as well.
The Arjun may have nothing to do with Britain, but it is more fitting than the Indian T-series tanks
How so? It’s more German than British.
The reason Bhisma came to UK, coz it was easy implement from T-90A and in turn set the stage for Arjun in higher tier introduction in UK (but it’d require much more work, so hence in future).
…
Also, what’s the point of getting a T-90S Bhishma but with weaker ammo?
They could’ve used the original export T-90 variant for it:
It was unique and India was the first and is sole user. The weaker ammo ceiling is justified here.
Or else the Ajeya CI. Also unique (T-72M1 brought to T-72AV standard + upgrades)
The weaker ammo ceiling is justified here as well.
You cannot put a slow 7.0 jet at 8.7 just because it has awful missiles. Even without Sparrow I the -2/M would only be 7.3, maybe 7.7 at most.
I remember reading somewhere it was one of the aircraft that tested the Sparrow II or Sparrow III, that would make it fine at 8.7, where, don’t forget, it’ll be uptiered to see 9.7.
