Japan should not get SG.
they have plenty for current meta.
China would be best because of their proximity and that China currently lacks dedicated CAS Aircraft.
Israel, good option because of their military collaboration and can fill up their tree with more vehicle.
What are you even talking about, Singapore is nowhere near China.
lul, I think you will want to edit that. I will delete this reply after you edit yours.
But what about Sweden, they both start with the letter S /j
Cheers lol
I’ll admit I’m 50/50 here. I would love to see it in Japan, but then again, Japan already has Thailand and Indonesia (and other ASEAN Nations are also options for future content), so I’m not sure if that would be wise. On the other hand, Israel does need some assistance, and incorporating Singapore would provide them with some interesting new top-tier options, alongside some general filler, to broaden the Israeli Tech tree. Plus, come to think of it, Singapore has a pretty decent Naval force, something Israel in-game would lack.
As for China, honestly, they have boatloads of content that could still be added that would fill the roles that the Singaporean stuff would add. Plus, they have Pakistan and Bangladesh, and could probably get NK or similar. So they don’t really need Singapore as a Sub TT.
But China is geographically closer to NATO countries than vice versa!
There’s sufficient room for both of us. Sure we can be added into Japan, if 1. Gaijin decides to turn it into an ASEAN hub and 2. they decide not to fully expand the potential of the already-existing Thailand and Indonesia subtrees.
It’s closer to China geographically speaking than Japan or Israel.
Alliance speaks, Israel is closest with SG
Then we make a new tree, CGCTN (Coalition Geographically Close To Nato)
What does that have to do with anything ???
Thailand is closer to China too and it went to Japan, so I don’t get why you’re pushing this reason
Using ties outside of military-wise (commercial and civilian) to justify us going into Japan may seem less relevant as compared to our established defence ties with Israel.
After all, is this game not militarily-related?
Nothing wrong, I just fear this may be used against us whereby Gaijin doesn’t see any differences with adding us into China (We do not have much military-ties with China compared to other regions such as economy).
what about just make a pan-asian like tt. with all ASEAN nations as a individual tt.
SK could be included in it to fill the early and late era tech.
Japan is excluded because they don’t need much more.
gaijin dosent even take geographical concerns in order to add vehicles lol, they take relations, and up to a certain points political relations, that’s why south korea and japan will not be together or why germany wont get stuff like poland
Absolutely a valid point, I just wanted to share what I found in regards to Singapore-Japan.
I was just looking at Singapore’s ties to Israel on Wikipedia too, very close ties, and looks like they have Bilateral Relations for Defense purposes too:
Cheers mate, at least some rationale being spoken. Hope you’ve seen my edit of the last part to avoid any confusion!
Cheers! 🍻 I ran out of likes already for the day 😂 Will give your messages some likes later. EDIT: I also edited my post above to show your edit 👍
Much rather not have it in Japan. Yes it makes the most sense if you want to make it a stronger tree, but politically it doesnt make much sense. The ties between the Singaporean and Japanese militaries is not that strong, and if you would look at the history especially in WW2 you would see the vast atrocities the Japanese committed in Singapore. I would suggest those who are unaware to google “Sook Ching” and read the wiki article.
Israel on the other hand makes the most sense, given just how much cooperation there is. They were some of the first to recognise Singapore and helped to set up its Military by covertly sending advisors. Much of the equipment still in use also either has Israeli components or were straight up Israeli. E.g. F-16D+ is an F-16I, SPYDER air defense, Rafael Samson 30mm turret on the Hunter AFV, AH-64D with Saraph-style upgrades, Elbit COAPS CITV on Leo 2SG and more. Doctrinally the SAF is also similar to Israel with its conscription and first-strike with air dominance in a war. The issue with this is that much of the Air and Heli trees would overlap. There isnt much difference (especially gameplay wise) between F-16C/D Block 52 and F-16C/D Block 40, and next to none between F-16D+ and F-16I. Adding F-16A Block 15 OCU would be redundant when you have like 7 other F-16s as well. AH-64Ds would be near identical. The A-4SU was also upgraded similarly to the Ayit and would fill basically the same niche as it. Really the only unique additions would be the Hunter F.74S, F-5S and arguably the F-15SG as it would be the first F-15 with AESA (though late F-15Is and F-15IAs would also have AESA) and has MAWS too.
Adding to China wouldnt make much sense also. Yes Singapore is majority ethnically Chinese, but most Singaporeans do not identify as Chinese. The same way how Australians and Americans come from the same ethnicity as Brits but do not identify as British. Military ties are also again not that close, with only low level excercises held together. We have deeper cooperation/hold higher level excercises with the Thais, Aussies, Germans and French (arguably the Italians too) if that provides any context for how low down the rankings excercises held with China are.
