I mean… There’s not only FRG out there…

T-54/55 or specific their mods.

I could pretty much get all of them when added except for Italy but really unless they add some different weapons then once you have 1 F-35A/B/C you pretty much have all of that type, just got to slap the user template from the other F-35’s onto it and your done.
So, a Leo prototype, another M48, a T-54A and a T-55A
Fiat 3000B trust

All I hope is that they would have the guts to add Indonesia to Japan that way I can grind many 5th gens as I want without leaving that tech tree

Also might be T-54B iirc. Or/and their Czech/Polich licensed versions like in case of Lim-5

There seems to be no suggestion for a T-54B, but there is one for a T-54AMZ, which looking at the suggestion seems more like 8.7+
They are a bit low, towards 7.3-7.7
My pick would be Leopard 1A2. Is in the Italian tree already, and the German service one would be equivalent to M60A1 AOS
Right, I forgot the Leo 1A2 was in the game already and at 8.0 lol
It doesn’t have a stab lol, what’s the point then even?
Pretty sure it did have a stabilizer in German service
Then might be uhhh fine i guess?
It seems like you would prefer that T-55A
Do people really dislike the Leopard 1s that much?
Yeah, not my type of tank as i usually play US/USSR and leo1 feels quite underwhelming in this competition by a lot, except, mb, mobility.
Also why is the Ki-200 still at 8.3, should it be at least 6.3 now ?
I don’t have much experience with either one of them, but I do think the Leopard 1s do have some more advantages than just their mobility, at least when compared to the T-55
Faster Reload, better APDS and HEAT-FS, more gun depression, better turret handling (at when they have stabilizers lol), an optical rangefinder and smoke grenades
Honestly their techtree right now is looking to be the best of the not major 5th gen nations (alongside Britain). They don’t quite have the amount of options the US and China have (maybe Russia too but I don’t know enough about theirs aside from there being different Su-57 variants probably), but still good amounts:
- F-35A and F-35B, which Japan already operates. These are the only ones safe to be added which isn’t a lot but considering the only safe options for the competition here are “one to two F-35 variants” it’s still on the upper end.
- F-X (26DMU), which was partially built. It’s up to Gaijin to decide if they want this one. Just about all major components were built just short of a proper aircraft. There was also the X-2 demonstrator used for flight testing during the project, though that one was a pure demonstrator and different from the armed 26DMU based design.
- Honorable mention of the KF-21 (005) / IF-21 (Block 2), which are a joint Korean-Indonesian design that looks a lot like a 5th gen and will be in later Blocks, but so far will only be procured as 4.5th gen configuration by Indonesia.
Then from there it might get more interesting ~2030+, when the other countries start buying their 5th gens, like Malaysia who seem to be considering the Su-57E or Indonesia who already signed a contract for KAAN with Turkish engines. By this time if the game is still around it’ll probably be at 6th gen already though (where Japan also has GCAP alongside Britain and Italy, so still not bad).

Afaik the only variant of the Su-57 that is in service with Russia is the basic Su-57.
The only other variant of the Su-57 that is fully operational seems to be the Su-57E.
I didn’t mean just in service, they also recently flew their twin seat Su-57 which could be added if it adds anything else than their second seat and iirc there was some tested engine / TVC configurations too?
Still less than China has in service J-20s alone probably though.
Yep a Mach 2.8 boat with the RCS of a small Country.
My Meteor hungers for that big dumb jet ;)
