Not just the leak, gaijin had confirmed they had plans to add Singapore to China in a community update or something and people including Chinese players went ballistic over it for multiple reasons.
Which CM?
I feel like looking at there equipment isn’t a completely sound way to judge what country goes to what, beacuse if Japan was allowed to export equipment there trees might look different.
Guys, who knows how good the Leopard 2RI’s body will be, worse than the Leopard 2A7V?
I think it might be better in some ways, worse in others, in general I don’t think it’ll be 12.7 material at all, given that it’ll have an armor profile similar to the 2PL just slightly better since it covers the hull more, but worse thermals and mobility, don’t know about its top shell, could be the same as the 2A5’s, overall sounds more like a 12.3 tank
Uh, you do realise ASEAN is not a membership union, right? But rather a platform for foreign policy discussions, similar to WEF Davos?
Sorry, but I don’t really relish the idea of a combined tree for nations with differing political philosophies, agendas, and security alliances. Might as well combine the US, Canada, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil into one tree because of hey, NAFTA! But even NAFTA is an actual binding commerce agreement, with responsibilities for member states, ASEAN meanwhile, does not represent any of that in its real-life purpose, it’s a platform for political discussion similar to WEF.
As a Malaysian WT player, I don’t want Malaya to have a part in this categorisation. We’re a commonwealth nation, and we’re fine with our existing historical doctrine and alliances.
Please exclude us, thanks.
So where do you want to see Malaysia? In UK?

Nah, it is a membership regional organisation although it doesn’t look like one, you still need to met some condition to get the membership pass

Even then it’s crowded as hell with India, South Africa, Australia and Canada already, UK is currently 1 of the best trees when it comes to variety

Yes, Malaysia was officially added in December 2025 (update 2.53 Line of Contact).
This discussion about ASEAN is probably less about the game and only about the suggestion specifically. Gaijin themselves probably just took the popular Thailand suggestion, needed more stuff for what they wanted to do and decided to look for what other nations in the region had.
I don’t think they considered this as representing ASEAN, at best in the same way that Britain gets “commonwealth”, with only two (and sometimes also Australia and Canada) out of the 56 nations and other members like Pakistan or Cyprus officially in other techtrees. I think we’ll see the same happen here because I doubt they’d make full 10 or even just 5 (like the suggestion) nation subtrees.
It’s more like a general theme they drew nations from as they felt was right for gameplay.
