The Norwegian F-16

The swedish air tech-tree should get an F-16 from the norwegian air-force.

Thats up to the snail to decide, if gaijin had interest in nordic fighters on sweden we would’ve seen an F16 from either Norway or Denmark. As it stands it doesn’t seem like gaijin is interested in it.

Would be pog 👍

ok

Yupp

No. Sweden already has too much foreign tech imports. Sweden + Finland + all these evaluation/test vehicles are already enogh. To add the other Scand countries would be total overkill.

Meanwhile the British tech tree with vehicles from Australia, Canada, South Africa and India.
Sweden has only got 2 branches out of its 4 air tech tree branches going to rank 8 while the British tech tree has all its 5 branches going to rank 8.
French tech tree received another whole branch with two F-16 in it while it had 3 branches out of its 4 branches going to rank 8 and with the Benelux added it has 4 branches out of 5 going to rank 8.
It is in fact not enough for Sweden to get another vehicle and needs one desperately.

with how limited the Swedish tree is, I don’t think it’d be bad to atleast add some other Scandinavian vehicles. Obviously not every vehicle from said countries, but a fair amount after Rank 4/5 wouldn’t be overkill in the slightest. Something similar to the Thai subtree, where its pretty much only from Rank 5 onwards.

Sweden has 5 Jets @ Rank 8,
Japan has 6
China has 9
Italy has 8
France has 9
Israel has 9

It wouldn’t hurt for Sweden to get one or two more Rank 8s. The only comparable nation is Japan, where they have 6 jets @ Rank 8. And they just got a subtree and are still waiting for F-2 variants to come into play (+ possibly F-16s and JAS39E from Thailand). Sweden only really has the JAS39E and Finnish F-18 MLU 2 left (iirc MLU 1 might be skipped, not 100% sure)

on a side note, Germany needs more jets at rank 8 as well. Despite being a major nation it has only got 5 jets at rank 8.
Adding the Swiss F/A-18C and F/A-18D would help it a lot (specially because Germany has two other Swiss jets as well)

Isn’t the only difference between C and D that one is a single seat and the other is two seats? I’m assuming its the same designation wise to the F-16A / B

but yes, ideally Germany gets more jets too. I wouldn’t be against it in the slightest, though Germany still has missing Eurofighter Tranche/Blocks and (i think) Tornado variants.

Yes but we have had many such cases where they add the same vehicle with a different camo as a premium or event.
That being said, I still prefer both versions to be added to the normal tech tree and not as a premium even though Germany needs a top tier premium as well.

If they were to add the D, it’d probably be as a prem/event equivalent of the C. Realistically the only F/A-18D I’d imagine being in the game is a Malaysian F/A-18D, as they don’t operate the C. That’d probably come as an ASEAN subtree for JPN or just a Tree by itself.

Either way,
More the merrier :3

Yeah that would be fun too. Like the Iranian F-14 they added as an event vehicle

or the F-5E FCU and F-5T SCU. The only difference being that the F-5E can carry 2x AIM-9P-4 + 2x Python 3s and F-5T can only carry 2x Python 3s, but it gets HMD. F-5E is squadron, F-5T is tech-tree.

MLU 1 is planned to be skipped
