Like I said though, there is plenty of US stuff for air, sub nations are great for filling gaps in capability, that is why Thailand was added to Japan, they’re also great for filling out nations that are lacking variety, like Hungary, Finland, and Benelux, however for the US air tree they are lacking neither variety nor capability.
I’m not saying it’s not possible but there are domestic US options for AESA so a subtree would just be odd
Yes, many would make solid event squadron or premium vehicles down the line, but for the F-16 line I think a desert falcon would be needed. And id like for an aircraft design lineage (advanced eagles/strike eagle) to be fully present in one tree and not torn apart.
Again, I am not asking for subtrees, just specific relevant vehicles
Or vehicles in separate trees and subtrees.
That ship has already sailed with the F-15C and E being in different trees, I can imagine the EX being under the C with it being the direct replacement, but we’ll see
I can also very much see the F/A-18C/E being split between the Navy and attacker/Marine lines
Strike eagle lineage would go F-15E, in folder F-15K, main tree vehicle after that would be F-15E RMP, foldered under it F-15SG, the for advanced eagle lines, F-15C USAF with AESA, foldered under that F-15SA, then QA, then end of line main tree F-15EX
But why would US made and designed fighters go to different nations, which are not the IRL operator nations, or even have the irl operators as a subtree.
Qatar isn’t in game tree, it’s not a subtree, so logically the Qatari advanced eagle would go to US bc of direct technical and military ties. Same applies to every other advanced eagle and strike eagle I listed (left out the Israeli one for a reason)
I mean Korea very well could be its own tree for starters.
Saudi Arabia is already part of the British tree and Britain have very long-standing ties with the Saudis
Singapore could very well go to Japan or China with the whole ASEAN deal
Qatar I would expect to see as a premium or event vehicle though it could go TT, along with a Qatari Rafale in the French tree and Eurofighter in UK/Germany
Realistically I don’t see them putting 7 F-15Es into the US TT, more likely you get a radar upgraded one and then an EX for 3 TT plus an event/premium one for 4 total, which seems a more reasonable number
If the US does get SK which I doubt it will be a separate line on the TT I imagine
Saudi is not a UK subtree, US has relations with Saudi too, Korea is true but tbh I kinda doubt it, if it doesn’t become a tree slam eagle should go to US though, Singapore might but that doesn’t stop them from adding 1 vehicle of them to US, and yeah Qatar F-15 has nowhere to go but the US lol
I know it isn’t necessarily subtree but there is already a connection there and as far as military relations go, the UK has a very long-standing relationship, particularly with the Royal Saudi Air Force, like aside from the F-15 I believe most Saudi combat aircraft are British historically speaking.
If there are plans for ASEAN countries to be part of another TT then that would be good reason not to put a Singaporean F-15 in the US tree.
That’s why I specified Qatar F-15, not Qatar in general
Oh yeah how did I miss that, must be tired xD I’ll correct it now
I would also say Qatar Eurofighter should go to Germany on account of Britain being the best option for a Saudi Eurofighter
To be fair Saudi has most F-15 outside of US according to wiki, it’s their backbone.
They also use Huey’s, C-130, UH-60, and E-3 so also lots of US aircraft
Yes right now they do but, considering combat aircraft only and going back historically it was largely British and at least from where I sit as a Brit, Saudi Arabia is one of our closest allies and one of the few countries we have good relations with that we didn’t colonize first
I mean if we want to talk wiki just compare the two pages or at least just the summary.
Iran was not a special case, it’s the norm and has been since the release of War Thunder.
And yes, there are F-16E/Vs for USA. Also USA will likely get South Korea as a sub-tree in the future regardless of what we say.
Korea doesn’t even have half the vehicles Israel’s tech tree currently has BTW.
Either way USA, Japan, and Israel stopped being the OP tech trees the moment Typhoon and Rafale came as equivalents to F-15C/JM/Baz M/E/I.
A combined Korea would
And I don’t mean unique just that the F-14 wasn’t a sign of more Iranian stuff in the US tree, like I was saying with the Qatari F-15, Eurofighter, and Rafale, you’re probably better off spreading them around if they ever do get added and they almost never get added as TT vehicles. I believe that was in response to Singaporean F-15s which could go to the US but equally could go along with the whole ASEAN thing and stay in Asia with either Japan or China, or better yet as a part of that combined Korean TT.
Be a China bis repetitas,…
None expect Korea to be a singular nation in game,… the speciality of S-Korea will certainly end up in Japan TT.
Pretty sure the South Koreans wouldn’t be happy about that, also with Japan getting Thailand and potentially more ASEAN countries a South Korean subtree seems less likely
therye both strong allies with saudis, i think saudi eft to UK, saudi F-15 to US
Already confirmed by devs South Korea will never be a sub tree for Japan.
So America is likely where it would be, especially since Japan can get Indonesia and Thailand, and that’s before Singapore.
well yeah thats kinda what i meant, the qatari, saudi, and singoporean F-15’s wouldnt be a sign of their other stuff going to US
koreans might come to US though like Alvis said. the K1 tanks are pretty cool
I do agree that if Korea don’t get their own TT then the US is most likely, but the devs have confirmed new TTs will come at some point and I don’t see many options better than Korea, especially now that India is a dedicated British subtree, obviously there’s Poland/Warsaw Pact/Visegrad Pact, and maybe an Arab League type thing but combined Korea seems more likely to me, we know it can work with China and Israel being prime examples and there is a good contiguous line of vehicles with the two being in a constant state of war
