its a multirole jet already, if they would do any fake changes id expect it to be HMD
Seeing as they are actively removing the R2Y2s, I very much doubt it.
At best they’ll give it a HMD that is supposedly questiinable. Everything else it it’ll likely be close to irl.
Then again, the Finnish F-18C shows that something doesn’t need to have a HMD and doesn’t need to actually be good to be placed at 14.0.

I mean the problem you’ve got is the F-2 will be the last fighter for Japan until the F-35’s, So if it does under preforming then you kinda really gonna suck it up. That’s my 2 cent of the situation unless gaijin adds the Thai Hornet that is.

Didn’t gaijin said they want to focus more on sub nations again this year ?

That is unfortunately the problem we are reaching now with top tier air, we have already somewhat reached this point at top tier ground where only a few nations can advance further.
I don’t think the Thai hornet is very future proof. The 18C hornets are currently already extremely mid (even if they are still fun to fly), I have no doubt that the 18Cs will already be powercrept to hell in the June or september update.
Yeah but that doesnt exclude new trees being announced or any preorder packs. Idk the way they worded it makes it seem like that’s still an option.
M8 trust me I want a new nation since that IGN Poland interview lol, As Renzo said most nations now are up to a point where they only have a couple of things to add and atm sub nations are the priority it seems.

But what other nations actually have something?
Korea is just going to be another China: 90% American and Russian, with top tier being indigenous vehicles.
Poland: a couple of indigenous tanks in an otherwise German-Russian copy-pasta.
Spain: just Italy
Portugal: (see Spain)
Ukraine: literally just Russia but with a new flag
Turkey: majority will just be NATO Copy-Paste
Egypt: basically just Russian stuff
There’s no real countries that do their own thing without being another generic America, Germany, USSR Copy-Paste nation.
Ok come back to me and state where gaijin said counties have to be unique : )

It should be unique. Simple as that. If you really want to play Korea, at the moment, you can just slap a Korean roundel on a Chinese vehicle and it is accurate
This is partially why subtrees exist, and while they have their flaws they provide a decent representation of some nations. The chosen host nation isn’t always the most adapted one though

So ok then if that the case then not only don’t we have anymore nations but I now support the removal of everyone else and have the game be Russia vs US : )

Thailand brought it, they made it, they not only failed to arrive but the US nicked them = They are real

- they paid for like a quarter of the cost before Thailand cancelled the order
- since only a fraction was paid for, the rest of the cost of these extremely expensive aircraft was shifted to the US, and then Marines use them now.
so, the USMC F/A-18C (late) ingame is the closest thing to a Thai hornet there is, seeing as the airframes were originally intended for Thai air force, but since they were the ones that cheated Boeing out of the payment, US military had to pay the rest of the cost and then USMC used those airframes.
also, i dont see why you are trying to make US look bad in this, when Thailand was supposed to pay $250 million more because of the cancellation, but only lost the $74 million down payment since they failed to get any other countries to buy those already made hornets

I do want Yugoslavia, but unfortunately we won’t have a modern tree. It’ll just be dead at 11.0, unless you just use whatever Serbia has now.
Oh yeah, I can already hear the cries for Rank VIII Yugoslavia. M-84, Modernised T-72s, Pantsir, HQ-17, and HQ-22, with the Rafale and MiG 29 as a backup.

And 2A8CRO.
Tbh there’s enough. And if anything it’ll at least be still somewhat unique.
