Thailand operates both scimitar and scorpion. On the other hand Japan doesnt really have a potent br between 6.7 and 9.3 to justify introducing them. Stingray, depending on the round, can be a 9.3/9.7 addition. BTR-3 could be 7.7 with cannon only and 9.0 with stugna.

I mean they got the M44 from Belgium.
Tho now (those who want BeNeLux stuff) are waiting for both the Belgian Scimitar and Dutch Pzh2000.
Surprised they dont want those Luxembourg F-22s :P
were there not a couple of Type 74s at 7.7/8.0?
Also, on the subject of CVR(T)s, we’re also missing the Spartan MCT, which is a frankly excellent bit of kit.
Think M901 strategy (hulldown launcher) on a CVR(T) - immense mobility (immediately better than the M901/YPR-765)
Also speaking of which, HOW HAS THE YPR-765 PRAT not made it into the Dutch line?
I know it’s not that unique but it (and the, I believe 25mm armed IFV type?) could be worth adding?

Given the ATGM options, Ferret Mk5 would probably be a lot more fun. But the Spartan is very cool

but it’s a CVR(T), so it must be better
Yeah type 74s are decent, but 8.0 has some contenders, Germany, Sweden, China, Italy, Israel and France to a lesser extent offers their diversed lineup which also has light tanks, AA and CAS. Well a scimitar may change it but I dont think the M42 will do much against planes.
What
Luxembourg, has a very powerful military. Easily outclasses the US
Ah yes the Luxemborgan people’s air force that has F-22s in the 1980s with 500 pilots appearing out of thin air each week

Yep, France could become insanly OP very quickly now
Thats just the thing it was actually unique. It added flavor to the tree and it was to the entire tree and most people welcomed it.
No other subtree has ever been as unique, If anything they have just gotten progressively worse overtime.
Overall People probably would have been less annoyed with Subtrees or C&P if it didnt seem like gaijin just used it as an excuse to delay adding something Domestic or actually Unique into infinity…
Like take India for example. Where is there actual Domestic stuff? The only actual Uniquely indian vehicle they have added was the T-90S… and thats barely different from the Russian one. Where is the Arjun?, the Tejas?, The Marut?.. you know the things that are actually Unique.
What about the Atlas Cheetah series, or the domestic modifications of the Mirage F-1 or Buccaneer that make them Unique.
And then there is the whole thing of people wanting the Tracked Rapier or ZA-HVM for years and gaijin continuing to kick that can down the road and occasionally throwing a bone in the form of the OSA or Strela-10 but only because another nation was getting it…
So yeah its kinda understandable that people are annoyed.

You joke but i would actually rock a Vulcan with the Falklands war AGM-45 shrike mods.
Would it be good? Probably not but it would be funny
Yeah, Vulcan would be such an epic addition. Probably end up as one of the worst performing aircraft in game, but that litereally wouldnt matter. It would still get playerd to death
Vulcan and TSR.2 are some iconic British designs that definitely can be considered. Since outside of falklands mod they lack A2A it would not be that hard to balance, especially considering that they only have dumb bombs.
and Skrikes. But yeah.
Cant be 8.3 ish because they are faster than the Canberras with 4x the bomb load.
Cant really be 9.3 because they would just be free kills for anything supersonic.
But regardless of that. They would get played a LOT.
Best solution I can think of. Add it as a Premium event vehicle at about 8.7/9.0.
Repair costs and stock grind mitigated by being a premium and when you do get through and bomb something, you get a decent reward for it, which should cancel out all the times where you dont make it through
I mean we have the Nighthawk as a squadron vehicle, I wouldn’t mind them doing the same to the vulcan
