I would love the Arrow (Now Sparrows are very good), CF-101B would be cool for some more Falcons. Obvs the CF-116 should make an appearance because it is already in game in the French TT, later Canadian Hornets would be lovely for an event vehicle (Only place they will go now)
Even without the Sparrows, it just looks like an interesting and different aircraft
Arrow or bust for Project Wingman gameplay

Still insane to me that the closest thing we have to a Canadair aircraft in Canadian service is the NF-5A with its pre-order camo.

That was me. As soon as I unlock the Arrow it was the only aircraft I used.
Also we could get a camo for the (A)F/A-18A that is RCAF. You guys got some ex-RAAF HUG 2.4 variants in 2025
This is one of them
Indeed, the Sabres have War Thunder live skins, but it’s also not the same. And as you said the pre-order skin.
As Canadair aircraft when not put into Canadian service often died out. As their aircraft was meant for Canadian service first.

This would imply he was correct about the F-22 not coming 2026
Is that what you are saying?
Well Smin already confirmed a while ago that Oxy has access to similar levels of information as the CMs.
So there is not a big reason to believe he was incorrect, unless plans changed considerably.

Yeah, it’s really not the same. Marketplace skins and user-made skins are completely community created, so they don’t have the same impact as something officially added by Gaijin.
I had the same issue with there being no Dutch F-16s in-game during the first two years of the Benelux tree. As every Benelux F-16 was depicted as Belgian, and that’s still kinda the case for pretty much every shared airframe except the Hunter F.6. There were marketplace skins that gave the Belgian F-16s Dutch liveries, but it’s not really the same as having an different model ingame, especially since the Dutch aircraft had different radar, RWR systems, strengthening straps, a drag chute, etc.
It was also for a short time somewhat annoying when Norway got its F-16AM before us, considering those were built on the Dutch Fokker production lines and are very similar to the Dutch model. Thankfully, we now have an early Dutch F-16A and an F-16AM, after some persuasion to make the latter Dutch rather than Belgian, since Belgium already had an AM variant.
With those two covering most of the Dutch F-16 variants and their capabilities, there aren’t really any other Dutch variants we need, since the alternatives would be very similar to the already ingame F-16A. But It’s a little annoying that both are purchase only, but I’d rather have them in the game that way than not have them at all.

It’s a 4D chess move. He wants you to think that they’re not coming to throw you off the trail!!!

The longer it takes the better. There are waaaaaaaay too many foundational issues that need resolving before they add 5th gens
- Proper IR signature modeling
- RWR interface overhauls
- IRST overhauls
- RCS implementation on everything
- Sensor fusion
- Countermeasure Overhauls
And then new mechanics likes:
- ECM
Let alone just general QoL improvements like decompression and better maps

Those could all be added in one update. Even the same update as the 5th gen’s for some of them
and they could have come in any update in the past few years, but havent.
A few yes, could be added pretty easily, others probably would need an update or 2 to get right.
Still not gotten any explanation for why all gripen flight models were nerfed and didnt have anything about it in the changelogs?
hope its reverted or explained before or during next update. kinda sucks to get a nerf with zero explanation
Swedish people may hate on me, but add brazilian Gripen E in italian tech tree ☺
Gripen E entered in service in brazil back in 2022 and only in 2025 for sweden. Brazil also operate the Gripen F already. But it lacks a gun :(

As long as more info for it and its dual sensor array are made public sure but for now I’d say Early F-39 like the current Gripen we have. No need to butcher the best Gripen model in the world before we get more info on it.
Though I’d still argue for a South American tree over Italy personally
