So many vehicles are missing IFF its crazy
I love F-18 violence
It’s gonna be just like that ace combat 7 mission where most of the AI on both sides are hornets

I thought warthunder was based on ace combat

I don’t really notice the top tier C&P problem when I play the CF-188, but that’s mostly because me and half the team get taken out by an Iranian F-14 in space by .5 of the match starting.

it genuinely feels like the 12.7 br range is just a training exercise with no available aggressor planes so they just use F-18s

There are, but there are also plenty that dont have it in the first place. Such as the GR7 (Tonka might actually have a basic A2A SRC mode for their radar with IFF which would do)
and the problem exists at lower BRs too, where there are no radars.
On one hand, I really like the ASB brackets, on the other, I would quite like a GSB style curated vehicle lists version.

There are pros and cons. Its not perfect, like being forced to player certain brackets and not just being able to pick any BR.
but it does have strengths too
just make all brackets open at once and it would be better then the current system in every way
Even then, the nice thing about the rolling brackets is that the meta one rotation isnt meta the next.
With the current implementation there would still be better options every bracket and thus certain aircraft would get screwed.
(for example, in GSB, why play something like the FV4030/3 when the base Chally 2 is in the same bracket, I think, dont quote me on that though)
So id either want both, or a rolling set of curated Brackets… but it just gets messy fast
If only the GSB list actually was curated lol
You can still use vehicles that were hidden for being unrealistic and as far as I can tell they don’t remove any of the problematic copy paste either
Having Shermans on both sides is great :))))
The number of times ive had heart attacks when a Indian T-90 rolls around the corner and nearly gets TKed
At least the Bhishma actually looks different (at least while the dozer blade isn’t installed lol)
The Shermans legitimately all look the same unless they use some unusual camo
Maybe, I still see that distinctive T-90 shape and react accordingly, but then catch myself. Defiently doesnt look like a Leopard or Abrams and it tricks enough players that ive seen plenty of Indian T-90s infilitrate the other teams spawn and they always warn in chat that they are doing it
But yes, Shermans on both team is really dumb.
Italys tech tree truly is a blessing to the GSB gameplay
M3, M4, M16, M18, M19, M24, M26, M36, M42, M44, M55
Though, to be fair, Japan is guilty of this as well
Using a vehicle that isn’t available on both sides can actually screw you over at this point, because you have to check if the tank you are looking at is a friend or a foe, while they will instantly know that you are an enemy

I’m still convinced air SB (maybe even RB since it’s also without lineups) could get some more intricate matchmaking based on operator rather than techtree nation. That way it’s really only mixed teams when players force it through squadding and we can have more reasonable setups such as East / West Germany on opposing sides.
There’d still be things like the West German MiG-29G or the Indian East / West mix, but at that point it’s just what the nations had anyways, personally I don’t mind in such cases.
Sadly doesn’t work for ground, since it’s fixed selections there, and editing those too much might just mess with lineups, but even here I’m sure there’s some better way.

Easily the worst subtree release. Not a single unique vehicle, despite the available options.
