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

Reality of modern military industrial complex, we gotta live with it, gaijin at the very least (but not always) gives them unique armaments, sometimes it makes a huge difference and sometimes barely

The armed forces sometimes become a mess. Army gets ships and the navy has tanks strange world we live in.
You can never have enough F-5 though I want some lower tier stuff.

Malaysia, nice. I always say I’ll visit there, but then I just end up revisiting Thailand for the millionth time (love that place). Anyhow, just get to work on a twin seat Aussie Super Hornet for the British tree ;)
