Avoiding Hypocrisy and the Double Standard - US Abrams to the Chinese Tech Tree

Hey they have done it in the past, its clear that china doesnt need the abrams nor is it historical so theres no reason for them to have it at all.

I saw a lot of Chinese players unhappy, so I wouldn’t pin that on just Westerners. Not to mention that this is an international forum and not everyone is Western. There were also Singaporeans who were unhappy, but I believe their response was a bit mixed.

Thai VT-4 was never confirmed or denied. This is a lie.

Yes and no, they did directly address the issue with a blog post and pseudo apologized to the chinese player base but never said it wouldnt come.

The loading method of gaijin is very strange. Sweden can only have mi28 by touching it, su30 can have kh38 just because the hanging theory can mount kh38, M1A2T’s kewA2 is the same. Japan even has gaijin making f16

There is only a Yes, not a No.

Gaijin never confirmed the VT-4. It was leaked, but never confirmed.
Gaijin never denied the VT-4.

So my statement, saying the VT-4 was never confirmed or denied is true.

They never mentioned the VT-4 iirc, just the fact that no Chinese-operated vehicles are going to Japan.

Regardless of the VT4 china doesnt need it in the TT, the 99A and VT4 it self fulfil the MBT roll in some ways better over all than the abrams.

My personal view is that if a country operated a vehicle, they should receive it. The Chinese tree is split between the ROC and PRC. The M1A2T is ROC, so it should come to the Chinese tree. Obviously other people’s views will differ, but I personally believe that all vehicles (within logic and balance) should come to the operator nation.

By that logic half of Sub tree vehicles wouldnt exist, for example the OPLOT for pakistan was never put in service. Many more vehicles fall under this, to be fair the rules on this change alot and they are very inconsistent. Even if china keeps the M1A2T the americas should get a later variant to match the M1A2T.

if a nation that didnt design the vehicle didnt accept it, it shouldnt appear with its flag.

if a nation designed a vehicle but didnt use it themselves they ought to get one tho

Honestly if America got a SEP V3 or SEP V2 late to match this new chinese abrams it would make sense but no the most modern abrams in game is now in china… Just give them the F35 ATP

china basically has a F-35 in the J-35. only difference is that they couldnt build an engine powerful enough for it to be a total theft of design.

Even then, its the concept of america being swept under the rug this update in regards to copy paste.

america and germany usually get the cream of the crop, they can go a couple updates without getting a new top tier meta breaker every so often. However i do very much oppose when its just american kit thrown into other trees first to accomplish that

for this past year
USA
naval - no
air- no
ground - no
helis - no
Germany
naval - no
air - yes (AESA EFT)
ground - yes (2A7V)
helis - no

when was the last time USA got a top tier meta breaker? i just want the F-15C GE to be a competitive 14.3

The AH64 was good for a while then everyone and their mother got one so we hade maybe 2- 3 months of “meta”

Mi-28NM

it was barely even a month before it was spammed to everyone too. only UK shouldve gotten it other than the US imo. and now, they are adding CIRCM to every single AH-64E off of absolutely nothing

Historical accuracy? never knew her

wow we got one year of everyone else catching up.

F14 IRAF

RDF-LT

AH64E

Ye, no this i disagree with.

USA was never meta in naval. by summer 2025 everyone had stuff that could readily compete with US top tier air. hasnt been meta for ground in a long time.

F-14A IRIAF well over a year ago and it was pure skillcheck and AFK detection , and 64E was overshadowed by the 28NM. RDF-LT isnt even mentioned when talking about best top tier ground vehicle
