I really hope that it all being in a single line opens up the opportunity for other ASEAN nations to get their own lines after the Ki-83 in the future. It sucks if they squander all this potential on a single low effort Thai line.

tbh I dont think ASEAN should go to anyone. Because it’s just too many powerful aircraft for ONE nation to have
You have the Rafale, Gripen E, F-15E, F/A-18, Su-30, and F-16s all in the same tree
C, not E.
You say that like Britain wont have all 3 Eurocanards already

I don’t think Japan needs all of ASEAN but it can definitely get some of them, they can probably find a decent split between Japan and China, and possibly even the United Korea Tree (if that happens). Having all of it would bloat a single tech tree way too much imo.
Not yet at least Thailand is supposedly in the process of procuring E’s

Indian pantsir as well, when its talks end
Thailand operate both (will do soon)
Except in the case of the ROCAF F-5A which never bought and couldn’t even use Bullpups.
Then they accept a bug report and do literally nothing about it for over a year. Gaijin has 0 consistency with anything.
Not yet.

WOOOOO
Sentence
I’ll believe that when I see it
I think Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia is enough to fill out some unique domestic mods to fill both a fighter and attacker line. Having a bunch of strong jets is much less consequential than tanks since it has 0 affect on ARB and you will never have enough crew slots and SP to spawn them all in GRB.
You have to remember too that Gaijin’s original braindead plan was to do exactly that minus Thailand with even more nations which would have resulted in J-11, J-15, J-16, J-10, JF-17, Mirage III ROSE, Mirage 5F ROSE, F-15SG, Rafale, F/A-18D, F-16D+, Gripen E, Su-30MK2, Su-30MKM, Su-35, then add Bangladesh with the MiG-29BM, North Korea with Su-25s MYM with Su-30SME, Vietnam with Su-30MK2V.

I think it’d be fine for Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore to go together to Japan and the rest can go to China if that’s gaijins plan, although i’m unsure about Vietnam since I don’t think they have good relations with China. Malaysia is also a nation I think could go to either one, depending on needs, and if they want to keep eastern and western equipment somewhat separate.

Either way ASEAN shouldn’t all be added to a single nation, this was another issue with the leak that said China was getting all of ASEAN.

Everyone seems to agree except Gaijin and a select few hyper nationalistic Chinese players trying to push soft propaganda in a videogame.
I don’t think there was a single Japanese player who was trying to claim all of ASEAN and I’d like to say that most Chinese players would rather see their domestic stuff added than get flooded with a bunch of ASEAN stuff.

Considering the history and relationship, Vietnam and Malaysia are better to Japan instead of SG, you don’t really expect a nation that just has a war with China and after 30 years join them again? And for Malaysia, at least there is no historical issues in last 100 years.
5th gen aircraft? J-20, F-22/35, and felon. It will motivate a lot of Russian and American mains. And the 4 Chinese mains
