It’s the first blue side Flanker, and those exist in real life, evidently. Also side note I think the Japanese F-15s are the best in the game compared to their same BR peers, AAM-3 and AAM-4 are really underrated and being a F-15 fan and having played both the American and Japanese in tandem I performed noticeably better in the Japanese ones, they’re not at their prime anymore but when they dropped oh man were they cracked

Radar IFF in Simulator is a thing btw, especially at top tier.

I also think that it’s sim mode issue, not vehicles, although last time I told my opinion on this issue and setups, excluding same tech on the opposite side, sim players said smth like “you don’t play that mode, we know better, brs are the best, copypaste is nice for diversions”.

They’re arrogant and only favor copy paste when it benefits their favorite tree, the script flips entirely when it’s not the case
Look at this other dude haha lmao cope and seethe, Malaysia is here to stay, and we’ll only get more copy paste just as the real world

As long as the copy paste fills gaps and we still get unique Malaysian vehicles it’s fine in my books.
Tbh would’ve liked an ASEAN tree but alas.

That’s pretty much what Japan is turning into at this point, it’s getting to the point where pretty much the only thing Japan about it will be the flag on the nation selector, and its strong and large WW2 roster, but at high tiers it’ll be carried by or supplemented by other nations, THA-MAL-INDO branches should be just as valid as anything in the tree, Japan will carry itself again at 5th generation but in the meantime the friendly neighbors can join forces and help

Sim needs fixed lineups, and to allow vehicles from one nation on both sides. GDR vs BDR for example.

Operator based matchmaking would (currently) only work in air battles, as in ground battles you would end up with a lot of completely dysfunctional line-ups.
The vehicle whitelist system they currently use for ground sim would work for air as well, so that could be used as a band-aid fix for the brackets where mirror matches are problematic.
On a sidenote, Gaijin really needs to work on improving the ground sim vehicle whitelists to better reflect nation alignments and reduce the amount of unrealistic mirror matches.

I agree!
Only in Air realistic, no? Air arcade definitely needs line-ups, and so does simulator depending on how the match develops.
Only in air realistic can one only use a singular vehicle like in Squadron Realistic Events.
I agree, some nations like China and Germany could even be split this way so they can fight their own inner factions.
At this point, Japan is just going to become Polish Ukrainian tree

Absolutely NOT, Fixed lineups are horrible and it’ll kill player freedom just like in GSB.
Sim already has alot of issues from being neglected for years, players dont need a new reason to not play sim because their plane isnt in the rotation.
We don’t have any copy-paste Malaysian vehicles at this point.
Calling Su-30MKM “copy-paste” is akin to calling Sea Vixen copy-paste.
Which is why I’d like to believe that accusations of copy-paste is all just ragebait.
The alternative is worse…

would make 4 nation squads have better matchmaker times sure. but other than that its not great.
war thunder may not be an immersion game but it would really take me out of the game if i randomly start seeing my nation unique vehicle on the enemy team. Was a reason why i ditched arcade tbh.
asymmetrical nation battles gives war thunders battles another layer of tactical procedure that is completley lost by everyone appearing on both.
there would be no more “oh im facing america 8.7 i need to watch for XM800T” or “im facing 6.7 germany better take APDS” it would be thinned down to WoT levels of lane camping permanently, it would kill the game

right now the only copy-paste jet that could be added is F-5E, but shouldn’t as the Thai has a better version of it. Same goes for future Indonesian subtree, like 4 major nations in the regions all operate F-5E. there’s also A-4 Skyhawks too, A-4PTM also quite possible (basically lite version of A-4M maybe?), though Singaporean A-4SU may be a better choice but still uncertain as Singapore will be multi tree nation so we don’t know what jet will get added to which tree, and Indonesian Skyhawk probably less likely since it was an Israeli Ayit (plus being the skin for the premium A-4E too)

On the other side, exporting is a big reason some nations have such large military industries in the first place. Those “shithole nations” essentially finance and drive the content you get, at the cost of some vehicles being present in said other nations.
You can’t just choose to keep the benefit, but wave away the drawbacks.
There’s still plenty of unique vehicles and variants that weren’t exported for all nations, and this is where major exporters again shine because they generally have more of their own entirely unique designs here while importing nations rely more on variants of existing designs.
