The Royal Malaysian Air Force Subtree is Coming to War Thunder!

the last thing this game needs is yet another F-5.

missing from the tt of its creator. and its literally just a 2 seater C late. the Sukhoi is slightly more different but still basically just an Su-30SM in the Japanese tree. the F-2 thing is a false equivalent also, not comparable

Why on earth would an Australian modified USA jet armed with British ADEN cannons and powered by a British Rolls-Royce Avon engine go into the Japanese/ Malaysian tree?

Hopefully we get some lower tier planes in these sub trees. Would like for Japan to get a good prop attacker

Malaysia used the Avon Sabre from RAAF stock. Some of these were then used to provide aircraft to Indonesia, as a show of goodwill among South East Asian neighbors.

Huh… interesting, thanks for the info. I never heard of that before.

I feel like some people really need to understand that without copypaste/export vehicles a good amount of nations in the game would be completely dead at top tier or severely lack a lot of capabilities, imagine investing all that in a tree just to realise your CAS sucks forever

“I like variety”.

Meanwhile you seems to prefer flying copy-pasted planes and fight against copy-pasted opponents.

Yeah sure.

Name 1 copy and pasted Malaysian vehicle.

Mig-29N i guess has C&P model

Not even true. It has a different model (refuel probe) and is a MiG-29SD equivalent, something we don’t have in game. It has different armament to other 9.12 while having different avionics than both 9.12s and SMT.

Ahhh forgot about the probe

I didn’t even reply to you, I’m replying to the guy who defended the copy-paste with the oxymoronic logic of “copy-paste promotes diversity”.

It was issued according to the developer’s imagination.

To be fair it would still have unique armament without RVV-AE due to domestic integration of LAU-7 launch rails for AIM-9s

Spoiler

It’s used for AIM-9L, but they often substitute 9M in due to direct compatibility with unmodified AIM-9L capable rails and the 9M would make a lot more sense next to the R-73.

Yes, these missiles would have been enough for a unique Soviet aircraft with NATO missiles, but the developers took the path of “cloning” in order not to work for a second extra.

You guys might want to change that lol. Same with Mi-35 in the Japanese tree, should be Indonesian Army not Air Force.

I disagree, the MKM is a unique variant produced solely for Malaysia. It’s not some random vehicle. The FA-18D is a little boring though

It’s not like Japan had many indigenous options to be added. And these vehicles give good CAS options to Japan as well. The MKM is unique, and I’d argue the MiG-29 is too, once it gets its LAU-7
