I mean technically Israel was split between US, Britain and France even the F-84F went to France iirc.
The US only got Israel through events, which would be like saying Australia is in Britain due to it having domesticated tanks and aircraft.
I’m not having an argument here just having a curiosity moment lol
Indeed. But the established “rules” of what sub trees would be was not really in place. It was just a home for these nations in general. But the possibility always remained that their vehicles could go to whoever.
Post SA, sub trees are defined as the vehicles present into a single nation.
India has 3 lines worth of planes for an air tree, and a lot of potential for future aircrafts. That’s basically like Israel. Leaving India in Britain means we hardly get anything actually Indian, and the way you guys are doing it the only thing happening is Britain gets invaded with Russian stuff instead of actual Indian vehicles
Isreal has it’s own set of challenges and given the feedback on that and developments since, we don’t plan to add every possible seperate nation unless they have a decent chance of standing by themselves without themselves needing multiple sub trees of their own.
We have already been working over the the last year + on sub trees to help fill the existing major nations, both to gap full and provide variety. But most importantly sub trees also provide these nations a chance to exist in game where they would otherwise struggle as a standalone nation and be impractical.
Those were not Israeli planes. A French air squadrons were temporarily based in Israel to support the Israeli invasion of Egypt. The French aircraft were painted with Israeli Air Force colors to hide French involvement in the war. The French pilots continued to fly the aircraft, but the roundels on the aircraft were repainted with David Stars after landing at Lod airbase.
Alright then, put India in Israel. One stone two birds. The content is more compatible than with Britain, and it makes more sense technologically, diplomatically, politically and, arguably, historically
Which is why I have such issue with both South Africa and especially India. Not a single gap has even been looked at.
OSA and Strela just came at the same BR as the Stormer AD, Stormer HVM and Now Tracked Rapier. So no Gap
T-90 came at the same BR as the Challenger 1s, which are quite frankly pretty good, especially when fixed, so again no gap. When things like the Jordanian Callenger Falcon exist, its a real shame a C&P T-90 was even considered
Mig-21 came at a BR where you have the Tornado F3 and Harrier Gr7, which I consider both superior as it is. but there are loads of other options for this BR range as well from both Britain and South Africa
Jaguar IS is just a straight downgrade over the Tornado Gr1 in most practical gameplay because of its BR.
There has yet to be a single Indian vehicle that actually does much for our TT except make the grind worse.
Even with South Africa, you have the Bosvark and ZA-35 at BRs where you already have SPAAGs but nothing between and its a major gap in the tree
The majority of Indian vehicles in game are British in origin and there are many others of that kin. Those that are not provide gameplay alternatives to what Britian itself offers.
Capability gap. People wanted them, asked for them and wanted alternatives to the Stormer at one of the most popular BRs for Britian.
Gameplay alternative. Provides a different gameplay to what Challengers offer. This was explained in detail in the blog. Also not a copy and paste. It’s a unique model variant.
Neither the Tornado or Harrier fill the role the Bison fills as a more lightweight and agile fighter.
It’s not intended to be a peer to the Tornado. The Jaguar IS is very good in the air to air department and an important development of the Jaguar that is logically connected to the British tree.
You have made your opinion on this very clear multiple times. It’s not needed to restate it every time someone mentions India.
Conveniently this seems to have entirely missed the Gripen, which filled a very big gap for the British tree.
Nowhere have we ruled out any aircraft for the British tree that are Indian. Simply we have said that sub tree is not an indication every single option may come.
Though that beg’s the question, since BeNeLux is class as one sub could future nations be regions too, say “The United Arab Federation” be possible as it would be classed as one nation ?
I just to clarify I’m not wanting this nation nor pushing for it, I’m just using it as an example.
