This is also a possible solution, but I’m still not entirely sure because it still means that two tree are still pretty pointless to grind if you look at where they end. Also where might the Gripen be added? In some ways it might be a side grade to later F-16’s, especially for CAS
Also don’t forget the late F-5’s Thailand has, in my opinion they deserve there own line basically
Oh, and the AV-8S and T-50
1930s Thailand has purchased a new fighter aircraft with a production patent. To replace the old fighter aircraft from the 1920s and to develop knowledge and abilities in aviation, maintenance, and construction of the Thai military. It has procured and purchased these aircraft to assess its ability to procure new fighter aircraft. which consists of
Later, additional Hawk2 fighter aircraft were purchased and Hawk3 will be selected and received a production patent to enter mass production in the Royal Thai Air Force. Other fighter aircraft have been transferred to fighter training aircraft at the Royal Thai Air Force Flight School.
I hope it’s where they’ll put maritime partrol aircraft at some point P2V/P-2J, P-3C and P-1 all seem like they could finish up the line nicely.
I forgot that one was passed to devs not to long ago…
I don’t know if this is the right place for this question, but does anyone know if I can submit submarines as suggestions? I would be happy to file an I-400 or I-19
Submarines are another interesting piece of equipment coming into the game. Because it has the ability to hide and conceal. and destroys the enemy well But in exchange, you have to protect yourself from Sub chasers and other ships that are ready to chase you. So you can write your suggestions related to submarines whether I-19, I-400 or other submarines in the Naval suggestions category at this link.
Thank you very much for your answer, I’ll get to work :D
Wrong thread ? And yea, we don’t accept invidual submarine suggestions until they are part of the base game. ^^°

Too bad you didn’t write earlier :(
Procuring something on a governmental level has always been difficult, procuring something with the million-dollar price tag on a governmental level, however, is even more difficult. Before the acquisition of JAS-39 Gripen C/D, the Royal Thai Airforce conducted several studies to make sure that the targeted airframes and planes were worthy of Thai people’s hard-earned money and taxes. During the research, the Royal Thai Airforce was presented with 3 candidates for the F-5s replacement: F-16C/D, SU-30MK, and JAS-39 C/D Gripen.
According to Royal Thai Airforce White paper published in 2007, under the question “Why JAS-39 C/D and not F-16 C/D or SU-30MK?”, Royal Thai Airforce answered this question in an interesting manner.
According to the white paper, the SU-30MK was considered a heavy fighter aircraft, with heavy payloads and intercontinental strike capability. As a result, it was also considered a highly visible aircraft via the radar system. Moreover, due to its size and capability, to accommodate SU-30MK, the Royal Thai Airforce would have to procure and redesign the logistic and infrastructure systems such as hangars to suit SU-30MK’s needs. The usage of SU-30MK would also require detailed and frequent inspections as well as high fuel consumption for and after each flight. This, coupled with the low shelf-life for the weapon, makes the Life Cycle Cost for SU90-MK for the Royal Thai Airforce quite expensive, higher than the other 2 competitors.
F-16 C/D was considered a medium Fighter aircraft with both ground and air capability. Due to the previous procurement and usage of F-16 A/B by the Royal Thai Airforce, the overall infrastructure and logistical systems were considered inexpensive compared to the SU-30MK. However, due to export restrictions and live service payments, as well as restrictions on the technology transfer, the procurement of F-16 C/D may only result in the acquisition of the airframes with limited capabilities.
As a result, JAS-39 C/D was considered as the answer to Royal Thai Airforce’s F-5s replacement question, with not only just the planes and their weapons, but also the technological transfer and other trainings as well.
What do you think? If you were in the RTAF staff’s shoes, would you consider other alternatives? What do you think of Thai SU-30MK?
Honestly the decision for the Grippen makes since from an Economical point of view, especially when you consider it’s still an amazing light fighter with multi role capabilities, and while the Su-30 is a good heavy fighter, it would be a non-NATO system in a military that is mostly using NATO/Western tech, and so would add unnecessary strain to the logistics for the air force in my opinion
I am a simple men; Rafale :D
(also since Indonesia ordered Rafale’s)
Mid tbh, the newly offered F-16V and F-15EX are much better options (while F-15 would probly also require new hangers…), KF-21 is also an alternative to the declined F-35, but thats a different story.
Today in the year 2562 BE (2019 CE), 5 years ago, under the National Defense Technology act of 2562, Defence Technology Institute was founded. To this day, DTI has helped starting up, researching, and developing several types of weapons and weapon systems, ranging from firearms to Armored vehicles, with CS/AH2 105mm Howitzer being the latest developed prototype.
Buddha year?
for me, it will be one big problem in Sim NATO vs USSR and China so coping vt-4 will be a problem I know there are a lot of t-72 and low tanks but it’s wrong and should stop
Sim should just limit lineups past just BRs
It’s already fixed selection of vehicles, it shouldn’t be hard to regulate them better. This is not just for subtrees, but for other east/west situations like FRG/GDR and PRC/ROC already in game.
Though considering the world as a whole, a more mixed technology conflict, while not necessarily with the nations represented in game, is anything but unrealistic. Nations buy from various differing sources, and often change their suppliers too. Germany for example continued using some eastern tech after the unification, while many other countries just procure both. The world isn’t nearly as predictable as most video games.
BE, or Buddhist Era, aka: Buddhist year. It’s an official calendar in Thailand; Most official documents use BE in Thailand. The conversion is quite easy: BE = CE + 543.
Thanks! I saw some Buddhist Era times on temples in China and on my travel in Thailand, but i haven’t thought they use it in official documents
All the copy-pastes before are ok but VT-4 makes differense so big it will make sim unplayable?
