E.G. Chad, Niger, Mali, Central African Republic and South Sudan?
They have plenty of options to add to the TT.

There are only so many gaps to be filled, tbh. I’m trying to keep within the 3 vehicles / folders per line, and trying to keep copy-paste to a minimum.
I do have a list of potential additions in the post, and I’m sure there are more. If you have any specific vehicles in mind feel free to share them, I may have missed them.
But yeah, I do plan on updating it. Just has been lower down on my to-do list :)

Given that copy-paste has been reduced more than I expected in this tree I’d even give this one a pass, though I found it strange that there is no mention of Libya, although they wouldn’t contribute a lot in terms of original vehicles.

Thanks!
The reason Libya is barely in it is because there aren’t many unique additions that aren’t from various non-government factions in the numerous civil wars. I’m not including any vehicles from non-internationally recognised countries or insurgent / terrorist groups because of the political implications.
Maybe there are some good Libyan ones I missed? I’d be happy to add some if there are.
I have searched for one all morning but nothing has come up anywhere unfortunately, so, they’d probably be represented through camouflages or filler vehicles, but there is no significant gap anywhere as I can see.

Just clumping all African nations together and shipping it as a new tree seems wrong in many ways. They fight each other constantly so why are they in a unified tree? They were under provisional control during ww2, so why do they need to have anything below rank V? This would just ruin ww2 ranks more. Seems like bait.

You make it sound like this alliance is OP’s creation. I assure you, the African Union is very much a real thing.
War Thunder tends to consider geopolitical location more than direct relationships. Just look at East Germany, United Korea, and India in the British tree.
Because believe it or not, many nations use modified WW2 vehicles or weaponry even in the Cold War period.

cool concept but is also missing originality adding the South-African vehicles also wont be able to save this thing but it is cool and I do understand making it a full continent since africa as a whole does not have any countries that really has enough vehicles to make its own full tech tree like we saw south africa by far the most indigenous designs out of most only made it as a sub tree

They don’t operate any vehicle viable for the game far as I know.
It’s easy to just take some vague alliance and call it a day, but they haven’t made any reference to EU or BRICS, so what makes you think there needs to be a whole tree based on one?
This contradicts your statement. They are extremely far away from each other. They draw from both. Alliance & geographical proximity, not just one. That’s why SK should be in JP, but that’s another topic.
That’s not a reason to ruin ww2 ranks.
Honestly I think the South African subtree is enough. This just seems like unnecessary bloat to the game for a tree that no one will play. Just like what happened with Israel. People only wanted to play a few tanks from that tree. It could’ve easily been an US subtree. (For the time being, unless they do some revamp of nations.)
Do you think the 50+ nations in the AU are still fighting with sticks and stones??
Because many of the nations in EU or BRICS have enough to form their own trees, some of which are present in this game and others that have forum suggestions. Alone, no one African country besides perhaps South Africa could form a tree, so in order to see some of their vehicles in game it’s only natural to group them together using the alliance many are a part of.
It does not. India is in the British tree because it was quite literally a significant British territory for a decent part of its modern history, which means that Gaijin did in fact choose it based on geographical reasons rather than ones of historical relationship. That being said, I do agree that Gaijin on occasion will choose based on pure relationship as well, so I was perhaps incorrect to say that they lean more into location.
Regardless, my point there was to say that Gaijin has 100% combined nations before that are infamously opposed however share geographical proximity, so saying that the countries of Africa “fight all the time” isn’t really a good point against this tree. Again, just look at how ridiculous the feuding between North and South Korea is, and Gaijin still recently announced plans to put them together in a tree.
A T-34 with a 122mm or M13/40 with a 2 pounder is not going to “ruin” WW2 ranks. I can understand distaste against something like the M-51 or various modern howitzers we’ve been getting lately, but saying that all postwar modified WW2 vehicles will be the downfall of vehicles that fought in that conflict is totally ignorant on your end.
For you it may, but some of us believe—know, even, that other African nations also have a decent quantity of fun and unique vehicles that are often overshadowed by just about every other part of the world, and so it would be rather interesting to bring some to light in such a popular game as War Thunder.
The tree is unplayed because Gaijin did an incredibly poor job of making it appealing. If you want to argue that we should wait until Israel is fleshed out more before adding new trees, I get that, but you’re implying that it’s a demonstration of how little is left to add (which is far more than most people actually think, at least for ground vehicles).

Have you tried adding Chad and Libia into the equation?
These are militairy powerhouses of Africa and haven’t been implemented in the proposal yet.
Ivory coast, Guinee and Senegal also might have some interseting things due to conflicts in history.
Light is suspended, dark is member state.
BTW: Guinea was readmitted into the AU in January 2026
