i think you might need to double check that plenty of domestic own builds and own upgrades from Aus

You didn’t think to do a google search for “gaijin profits”??
i did checked and in current ground vehicules used IRL → 1 IFV is fully Australian.
Look up Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation and Government Aircraft Factories/Department of Aircraft Production/Boeing Australia/De Havilland Australia. Or this video for a brief overview:

As for ground vehicles, in addition to the 5 that are already in War Thunder:
There are a few more Australian Cruiser variants with 25-pdr and 6-pdr guns
Rhino Armoured Car
LP2 2-pdr Anti-Tank Gun Carrier
SP 25 Pounder Yeramba
Matilda Dozer Tank (and some flamethrower variants that would be unsuitable for War Thunder)
Various Portees with 2-pdr, 6-pdr and 40mm Bofors
M113A1 MRV
M113A1 FSV
Land Rover Series 1 106mm RCL
Land Rover Series 2 MILAN ATGM mount
Land Rover Series 2 ENTAC ATGM mount
AS9 Huntsman
Leopard AS1
ASLAV-25
ASLAV-25 TOW Turret
Boxer 133 CRV
AS21 Redback
Hawkei models including a NASAMS SPAA variant
Lots of other tanks we used had minor local market modifications as well, like the M3 Grants. These are just some of what I know about. Maybe they’re not all indigenous Australian designs, but they are all local market models modified specifically by us and/or built here. This also doesn’t include tanks we used that to my knowledge had little or no modifications worth talking about. Could still get them in Aussie camos and markings. I hope this helps.
Did you not see my post with all the Australian Cruiser tanks?
- AC E2 (25-Pdr)
- AC III “Thunderbolt”
- AC E1 (25-Pdr) with the twin mount
- AC E1 (17-Pdr)
- AC E2 (L/34) with the long barrelled 25-Pdr
That’s 5 vehicles that can still be added. There’s also the Rhino Armoured Car. At least 2 variants of Universal Carrier with 2-Pdr guns. Numerous portee trucks.
nope i just though they were rich since so many low levels buy premuims.
@Jarms
No offense guys, this doesn’t make a full TT
And you have more chances to be tagged along UK
But i do reckon, that i was quite in the wrong.
(Local variant just are normal thing, even F-16 in Israel TT are local variant in the end)
Did I say Australia should be it’s own tree? No.
I was just pointing out you’re wrong about Australia having no unique vehicles.
I agree, Australia has nowhere near enough for an independent ground tree. I even experimented with a Canada+Australia/New Zealand (any tree Australia is in should have New Zealand as well in the ANZAC spirit) but I still felt that was not quite enough (probably better than Israel though lol). I’d like to see Australia added with a line or two in the British tree.
With regard to the:
- AC E1 (25-Pdr) with the twin mount
Would that be with, or with out an autoloader?

Huh. Never knew that existed. Only blueprints?
I’m pretty sure they can’t fire individually though.
Just plans. If you are only trying to rip the turret off, you don’t need it stuffed with optional add-ons. I can kind of see the thought behind it, if there is less space because there are two guns, then a mechanical loading system might make it easier than having a human loader. But if Germany can have Panzergeschütz Ausf. Napkin, why not Australia? Gaijin have already turned the Hedgehog into a self-destruct system and rocket launcher despite the pile of evidence to the contrary, surely they can make amends somewhere else.
Paulie, decoupling the firing linkages would be just about the most trivial part of that whole system.

Any other unknown AC prototypes?
The temptation here is to say no, but as you don’t know what you don’t know … they remain unknown for now? I’d like to think that there are because then there is something new to learn in the future.
I think you’ve a pretty good handle on them. The only thing I might add is there was some consideration towards fitting the Littlejohn adaptor, which there is a little more weight behind because that is also true of the towed and other 2pdr guns, not that that went anywhere either but this is with-Warthunder-hat-on style thinking.

And even more importantly we are still a British realm. The king of England is the king of Australia. The king is the head of the Australian Defense Force and assets of the Australian government I.e. Military equipment are property of the crown.

No one is asking for an aussie or Anzac tree. We only want representation in the British tree as we should be.
There is a lot of uniqe Australian built and usex equipment going back to ww2. We manufactured our own planes, guns, tanks, armoured cars, trucks etc and today we still build our own equipment. We build our own navy, helicopters, combat vehicles still today.
Warthunder is mostly being asked to give us peace of mind that our vehicles are in the British tree where they belong. Precedent already has Australian planes, and naval in the tech trees and premiums in tanks and air. Be consistent, we belong in the British tree more then India.
No you aren’t - you are the Realm of Australia.
see Commonwealth realm - Wikipedia
They are the same person, but King of the United Kingdom and King of Australia are separate titles and separate legal persons.
The King of Australia is “the Crown” in Australia, but not in the UK, and vice versa, and the King of Australia is the head of the Australian armed forces - not the UK ones.
