In light of recent discussions, I thought I’d put together a proposal for an “ASEAN” air tree-subtree for Japan. This is my current rendition ( others have made similar through discussions in the JP / ASEAN discord ).
Decided to add Vietnam in addition to the founding ASEAN members due to their current geopolitical alignment compared to the other more “REDFOR” ASEAN members.
Feel free to make additional suggestions, I left plenty out to make the tree more neat/organized but I’d happily add more if its interesting. This or something similar will probably be formalized into a suggestion by myself or someone else relatively soon.
Indeed. Singaporean’s have already made it clear that they would not want such a thing under any circumstances. Besides, Singapore has almost exclusively western equipment, it makes no sense as there are other nations (close to China) that are much better suited (Pakistan, Bangladesh, North Korea…).
Even Israel makes more sense for Singapore.
Oh dear… Well, this is totally going to go over well for Gaijin, totally
Now, to begin drafting up a rant on why this would be the single worst idea (what I want to really say would probably break a few rules) Gaijin has ever had
Absolutely stupid decisions so far if they go with this. A spit in the face to players from those nations and players of Japan who hoped for better line ups and CAS… Thailand will be fun and great but there was no need for ASEAN to China…id go as far as they didnt even need a sub tree China has a bunch of domestic vehicles to choose from.
ASEAN to China seems like a horribly political statement that goes way against their personal policy of not including politics.
I was expecting ASEAN nations to be split into western/eastern majority equipped nations when the first rumors of Chinese subtrees came up, but including Singapore in China especially has absolutely no justification that isn’t political. Even Russia would be more reasonable than China, since they operate Igla at least.
This seems like they chose specifically Nato aligned nations for a Japanese subtree, and then just switched them over. If this was intended for China originally they would’ve taken more reasonable options like Myanmar or Laos.
This is Machinery of War section on War Thunder forum.
If you want to discuss politics, nationality, race, religion or other things not considered as related to War Thunder, please leave this forum and find a place, where you can do it.
On our forum discussing such topics is prohibitted. This a a place to discuss our game and war machines.
What matters in War Thunder is military vehicles, and the only eastern equipment Singapore operates is Igla, a Russian missile. Most equipment of Singapore is either locally developed or bought from the US. I don’t think those vehicles fit one of the two non NATO powers currently in game.
Instead I believe China should receive nations that are more fitting, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar or Laos.
