If poland comes to the game as proper tree/subtree it wont go to US/UK lol nor it should go to germany.
Whatever polish vehicles are in the game, they are placed according to technological link, just like theres iranian tomcat in the US.

Sorry I forget
Hey. Poland is neither a sub tree of the USA or Britain, so neither of those two nations would receive a Polish MiG-29.
Its not that they “do not count”, simply that BVV was talking about vehicles being operated across multiple nations (EG, M44, M55 etc). Captured vehicles of any kind don’t fall under this, so they are not going to be ones considered for automatic additions. Captured vehicles are rarely used these days for nations, unless there is extreme demand for one or special significance. At this moment in time, we don’t plan to add Panther “Cuckoo”. But never say never, there are just no plans right now.

So Misc nations don’t count for the shared vehicle statement? Only majors and subs?
And so regardless of operational use, Captured vehicles don’t count? What about Vehicles that have been captured but later sold/Lend-leased to a third nation thus becoming an official ‘adoption’?
perhaps the non-export one?
When BVV mentioned adding vehicles to multiple nations at the same time, he was generally speaking about vehicles that were quite simply operated by that nation or sub tree of that nation. Again, thinking of things like the F-104, M44, M55 etc.
There may be some cases that don’t lead to automatic additons (for example different variants, captured + modified etc)
Thats not to say these vehicles wont ever come to the game, just its not what BVV was talking about when referring to adding vehicles to as many nations at once.
I think this brings up a wider issue of “Theoretical” pilons being so prevalent in the game that realistic loadouts are no longer enough to be meta at top tier.

Can I politely suggest that Gaijin draws up a complete blog post regarding BVVDs statement and clearly setting out the full list of rules/criteria in regards to ‘shared vehicles’? Because I still got questions lol

Honestly 14.0 is the only place it would be sorta balanced, it’s better than the F16AM and C both of which sit at 13.7 with the AM needing to sacrifice a missile for a PIDs pylon

A post clarification blog after a video Q&A won’t go a miss as then that would stop people misinterpreting in their own way. Bit how CM’s came a thing after users wanting clarification about a few things I can’t quite remember.

Yeah. Because I’m all for it but BVVDs statement was very short and not entirely clear. Hence my questions to Smin

Do you know if the Niki will have its iconic name written on the side of the turret going forward as right now it lacks its Finnish winter camos
Edited to remove the Hikaristi but if you look at the turret you can see “Niki” written. It’s a neat detail and adds a bit more character to the vehicle.
Also could you perhaps nudge this pls thanks

We dont plan a dev blog on this singular point. It wasn’t that complex or elaborate, nor was it a set in stone rule. He was simply talking about common vehicle series that are straight identical production models operated by multiple nations.
Thats not to say there will never be cases that dont follow that, simply its a general guideline.

I have seen some people talk about how the PIDS pylons are technically capable of mounting AMRAAMs (or at the very least mavs, since I saw someone post an actual irl picture of that).
If that could be done I wouldn’t have a problem with this new F-16C being 14.3. It would also indirectly help both F-16AMs, since they would probably receive the same buff.

Yeah it’s a Belgian F16 with PIDs and MAVs iirc.

Yeah iirc missile fins block the sensors which is why they aren’t mounted there
You can see the MAV isn’t far enough behind to block the sensor

What about stuff like the F/A-18D and F for the US? Both are operated by the US and are identical to units used in Malaysian and Australian service. Yes the US already has a lot of Hornets but they can be foldered out of the way. They would perform similarly but also give the US more options which if foldered shouldn’t be an issue.

“TSPYDER” and “THo-Ni I” is it correct?
