“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

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

Honestly they can just add the camouflages of Indonesian F-5s to existing Thai ones for example and it’ll be enough even if they’ll be technically not historical due to variant differences, but better than adding an unnecessary variant just for a camo and flag in this case

The Chilean and Brazilian F-5s that might end up in the Israeli tree:

They do have the extended rudder, so if they just copied over the camos I could probably not unsee that.

Instead I think the upgraded F-5E MACAN would make for a nice addition. It’d feature new RWR and radar, as well as some Indonesian domestic bombs.

still doesnt change that the F-5 is far too common around that BR to be a good addition anymore.

they also overperform significantly ruining it for any other vehicle in that range

What? I’m talking about sim and fixing the lack of asymmetrical warfare.

What I’m saying is no more GDR T-72 on blufor as an example. For sim, all the Warsaw Pact vehicles in NATO countries would be allowed on the redfor side, despite coming from a blufor main operator.

That stops the confusion between ‘Oh who’s T-72 is that?’ Etc. Like people taking out the Taiwanese Parttons on redfor or the Communist Hungarian T-72 on blufor.

I’m half deaf so I struggle to hear game sounds anyways, and in realistic battles with everyone having a T-72 or Leo 2, I really struggle to discern sounds these days too. Doesn’t help Gaijin’s sound engine is dreadful too.

I do love F-5s and all but I’m not disagreeing with you, the Japanese tree itself has 0 need for any more F-5s but don’t expect them to be the last in the game for other trees, because Korea has been confirmed and South Korea did have F-5s, there are also variants other people request and likely will come as event or squadron vehicles, Brazilian F-5EM, Chilean F-5E Tiger III, the Taiwanese F-5E that was tested with Sky Sword 1 and 2, and Singaporean F-5S, each having something unique to them. Trust me we’ll likely see some if not all of these at some point

the sheer number of them does make whats “unique” about that one varant a hell of a lot less special have to say. its like if every Tree had a T72/80/90 variant shoehorned in, real vibe killer
