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.
Saudi - UK relations
Saudi - US relations
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
That only really applies to event/premium vehicles at least to my mind like the F-14 IRAIF or Kfir C.10, so if the Singaporean F-15 came with an event then sure I could see it, but a TT vehicle is a different thing, especially for air it basically never happens without a subtree.
i think it would be an event or prem, or foldered vehicle which might be a special case
Poland is the obvious option having ranks 1 - 8 for air and ground.
South America tech tree which also has ranks 1 - 8 for air and ground.
Poland I can absolutely see especially in combination with other Warsaw Pact countries, but South America, is there going to be enough and will it actually be any more unique than a Korean TT.
Also, the fact that a Korean TT would start at rank V could be seen as something in its favour, there is a lot less development time needed to add just rank V-VIII which is where all the money is and what I think most people want to play.
The last time a full 1-8 tech tree was added the top tier aircraft was the F-4C and MiG-21SMT
Swedish TT on release - 24 aircraft
vs
Israeli TT on release - 19 aircraft
They may actually benefit from a shorter TT when it comes to filling it out and making it worth grinding, because it seems like 20-25 aircraft is about what to expect
i feel like they messed with the uptier % on the j-7d this update. getting uptiers constantly now…
The USA might not want another nation sub tree like russia because top 3 military in the world
Now already 4 countries sub tree, maybe
Personally, british might not want 5th & 6th nation sub tree after indian, aussie, south african and canadian
I don’t see why Korean TT would start at the likes of Rank V,…
Most of it’s earliest aircrafts can be Rank IV :
P-51 Mustang and A-37 Dragonfly (BR wise on the last)
Rank V: F-86D, F-5A/B, F-4D
Rank VI: F-5E + F-4E
RankVII: KF-5E (later MLU)
Rank VIII: F-16C block 32 + KF-16 block 50 + KF-16 block 70 +F-15K + F/A-50
Then F-35 and KAI KF-21
That was considering only ROKAF,…
If we get a United Korean TT (which seems completely out of sense):
Rank IV:
Yak-9, Yak-9P, La-7, IL-10
and several old Japanese aircrafts types (mostly Air Army : Ki-xxx models, since IJN was most exclusively fighting in the pacific, so no A6M’s or similar)
In such:
Ki-43-III
Ki-61-I late and Hei
Ki-100
Ki-83
J2M3 or 5
Rank V:
Early MiG-15
MiG-15bis
Shenyang F-5
Il-28
Rank VI
Shenyang J-6
MiG-21
Su-7
Rank-VII:
Shenyang J-7
MiG-23
Su-25
Rank VIII:
MiG-29
21 aircrafts of NK
13(15) aircafts of SK
So, about 34 aircrafts only if the NK is added within the SK,…
I prefer to see a SK subtree, because even if it is integrated to a larger nation, it is keeping much more sense, as there will be no NK mixing of aircrafts within the tree.
As they have done with many subtree to date the Subtrees aren’t mixed within main TT, unless there is a reason(Thailand Strike fighter joined the strike line of the Japan TT) this shows that with PROPER display within TT and light change to Japan TT Flag, SK could be incorporated alongside Japan TT
But hey, i’m no Dev, and i’m simply trying to make this game looking with some sense (which it currently lacks at many areas of the game)
Example of a Korean TT
I mean I can pretty easily create a Korean TT that is just as big as the Israeli one with a similar amount of room to grow at least for air, I know nothing of ground but I assume that a united Korea tree would have plenty.
I also see no issue with uniting them as that is very similar to China with one main difference, there won’t be any NK players, and as with Israel starting at rank IV is just fine
I also think the two trees complement each other quite well, with NK filling the rank 6 gap for SK and SK filling in the rank 8 attackers as well as giving viable top tier
I’ve filed 5 different sources and none suggest that Korean ever recieved the F-86F25,…
H-5 is Il-28 (same aircraft)
And i basically gave every other aircrafts, even added those that North Korea used sporadicly before the Yak-9/La-7 gifts.
About MiG-21, variants are present.
And even with the upgrades, KF-5E can’t really be a 13.3 BR wise ^^"
