I haven’t noticed many people talking about japan top tier outside of the newest additions, (maybe im not a noticer 👀) but at this point would anyone have any reason to grind another nation OTHER than japan if they are only interested in toptier?
if we generalize every rank 8 “unique” airframe (f15s, f16s, blah blah) and exclude variants like f15c vs f15e, & f18c vs f18d, out of the ones I counted, japan has access to:
F15 ✔ F16 / F2 ✔ (F2 is similar enough?? but that can be up for debate even though they get both)
F5 ✔ F18 ✔ F4 ✔ J39C ✔ (thailand has E’s on order so we’ll probably get those too)
MIG 29 ✔ SU27/30 ✔ (again up for debate between 27&30)
Harrier/AV8 ✔
and then you’re only missing out on what? F14s, M2Ks, J10s, Tornados, Typhoons, Su34 & 25, and Rafales (which they might even receive now that indonesia has them on order)
I know that now we’ve hit current day for aircraft, theres gonna be alot of copy paste due to exports and such but I feel like the plot is kinda lost here.
anyways: do we think gaijin is gonna do the 1 in 1 million move and try to make trees a bit more unique or do we think they’ll do the classic move of ignoring everything
