Oh yeah. Shame they couldn’t be moved back onto their own server (a bit wild how many people have been asking for that) and given whatever South Eastern Asian vehicle they believe is their’s while keeping the main player base free from that. That would have solved so many issues. The M1A2T could have been a premium or event vehicle for the US, Thailand could get their VT4, ASEAN could have been its own tree, and the Chinese player base would be free to pressure or praise whatever vehicle they claim is theirs and shouldn’t go to anyone else. Everyone wins.

Yeah but I also don’t see the issue if they already have the model for one country and can’t add to the others that did operate such vehicles, I agree they should make more of an effort to bring the domestic/unique options in case of these M44s and Hummel for example, but taking it out on “muh copypasta” is also some poor excuse for a punching bag, in my opinion Japan’s case is different from the M44/Hummel for Germany, these guys just like to whine and spread negativity

even visuals are questionable.
Its the same issue. If they needed more top tier vehicles for japan they could’ve added another F-2 varient. Its an example of them passing up an domestic option for a copy paste from a different nation.
That “negativity and whining” is called feedback from a bad decision. You’re the only one calling it that and it quite honestly comes off as whining on your part that people would prefer unique aircraft in the updates instead of copy paste.

A design choice that came from needing to lengthen the nose for the new avionics suite, radar and also to help with the aerodynamics for the higher top speed because they slapped a much stronger engine in as well. The twin seat version is the trainer.
Here’s another picture for that cursed delta F4 look lol
Here’s what the E version looks like, this is the actual fighter variant and the final version of the Cheetahs.

Looks nice. Add another F-18 instead!

Seriously though, where is the VT-4? This is not neutrality.

Yeah that’s also fair, this really applies more on single additions that are just poor choices.
For example the That Alphe Jet TH in game is a Phase 1, while Phase 2 could’ve been added as a more unique option with an updated cockpit. The only difference is that one is less effort, that’s just about it.

This might just be me lacking creativity then. Even if the differences were only visual I couldn’t just go and play a MiG-29G and pretend it’s Malaysian, the details would just annoy me too much.
What F-2 variant? There’s no other except the paper F-2A Super Kai, and if they copy pasted the same with just AAM-4B it would be 14.0 maximum (and maybe people like you would whine about grinding the same jet twice just for different missiles which is already common practice), same for the F-15JM with IRST dome on the nose and AAM-4B, we don’t have any next gen fox 2 missiles just yet so they can’t have any upgrade besides the AAM-4B, okay genius, Japan needs a 13.3, 14.0 and 14.3, give me domestic Japanese options that are not paper and proposal options

True that, I was disappointed that it wasn’t the Phase 2 to be honest, there are things we acknowledge they should do better for sure, but there’s also a lot of unnecessary whining

im aware of that, but flares =/= jamming.
I thought gaijin decided to just say “oh by the way were adding EW to the game lol” as sidenote in this devblog

Any news about Romanian subtree? This nation was claimed to be placed in the Italian TT, but still hasn’t been called a subtree. Can we expect more regular tree Romanian additions?
PS I have a lot of hopes for Romania)

Does this come with some extra RP gain or are we still pretending this is 2014 when it comes to the economy?
Here’s another 5 million RP of copy paste vehicles you already have which you can grind with an RP gain that is based on the game before cold war vehicles even existed.
Cannot express how tired I am of this, the level of disrespect for a player’s time and money is unlike anything else.
If the RP gain matched the RP requirements we’d be closer to getting 10x than this.

This wouldn’t apply to the Malaysian vehicles though.
From the suggestion;
The MiG-29N is a MiG-29SD (which isn’t present in game), the F/A-18D is a different variant of the F/A-18 and the Su-30MKM has other armament and avionics that set it apart.
