So after getting the F-15, F-16, Gripen and now Fulcrum, Hornet and Su-30MKM, Japan is now gonna get a Su-27, a Su-30MK2 and a Rafale. Gonna be fun lol

Malaysia does have lower options than what they got, most notable for me, they operated a version of the CL-41G, and an armed variant of the CT-114 Tutor. (Last I checked, it does have a few differences from the variant the RCAF tested)

Japan will be superior my friend.

Worth pointing out to clarify here as we always say, just because a nation has a sub tree, does not automatically mean it will immediately get every possible vehicle from that nation.

Correct not EVERY vehicle, but Indonesia would likely get it’s tops like Thailand and Malaysia, otherwise just wouldn’t be fair plus having their top end aircraft would make Japan a beast of a nation to play just think of the variety alone lol

I would at least hope we get to see some of Malaysia and Indonesias ground vehicles at some point and not just their aircraft.

Sub trees dont have to just provide top tier vehicles in every category. As per India and others. So its not about “fairness” here.

This is a question I know you probably cant awnser but its worth a shot. When it comes to the F-16AJ i know the plan is to replace it with something but are they going to do what they did with the CV90105 originally and change it into a whole different F16 variant or are they going to just replace it entirely and keep the AJ as its own thing off to the side?

This is the same for any nation in game, right? So it’s “Just because a nation had X doesn’t mean we will add X, but it does mean if it comes it’s placed where that nation is.”

There is no specific lower-class nation status for subtrees still, right?

Sorry for always asking this when this answer comes up, but it feels important to always know for sure nothing changed.


This one is a bit concerning though. Any nation should be treated equal in a techtree, a subtree being lesser just provides an unnecessarily significant drawback to a nation being a subtree. I hope I’m just misreading this…

It’s just a matter of time until they get a load of toppers. Simply because you need toppers to sell premiums

No news currently to report on that. We would share any details of something as significant as vehicle replacement if and when it was decided to do so. Right now there is nothing to speak of.

India is one of the biggest wastes of potential for a subtree in the game. So I wouldn’t take it as an example honestly

Yes, I was simply reiterating it because again the claim of “Oh X nation was added as a subtree, so expect Rafale, Typhoon, F-16, F-15, Su-35 etc etc” as per the normal claims. When its never been the case for any sub tree that every vehicle possible is suddenly added simply because it can be.

A sub tree is a sub tree. Simply each vehicle addition is considered on a per vehicle basis. Not a blanket add.

Its an exact example of what I was referring too. So its entirely relevant.

There is no “lesser” sub tree. Its simply a misunderstanding by some that a sub tree coming to the game = every possible vehicle, including its top tiers will be added as a given right away. When that’s never been the case.

Vehicles are still considered based on their interest, need, merits and demand as well as what roles they fill. Something that doesn’t fill a significant gap or need in the tree and also removes a unique top tier from another nation is factor to consider. Multiple factors and considerations go into every decision of that regard. Naturally if something is no longer the very top tier, then it opens up more possibilities.

Alright, you got a point. However, the current state of India isn’t good in my opinion (and that of many). But we lost hope so whatever

No one is saying X,Y and Z should be added right away as we all know how war thunder works by now however for at least the Asian subs for Japan they had the majority of their jets or at least their notable ones added at the same time. It was just a bit of fun naming what Japan could look like in the future.

im gonna be real the whole “we are closely monitoring it” statement kinda falls flat when the gripen E went up in BR 1 whole day after the patch came out and I would argue the BMPT is just as bad for the health of the BR it is at as the Gripen E was for 12.7
