It has come to my attention that with the new update being released we will now have a new Canadian vehicle in the game. while i appreciate the devs are adding them. it leaves me to wonder, why has Canada not been made into a minor nation subtree?
We have Belgium, Hungary, Thailand, Finland, Switzerland and Holland as subtrees.
Heck, even south Africa has a top tier spot with the Grippen in the British tree.
Yet for Canada all our vehicles have been split into multiple different nations. USA, Germany and Britain.
While i understand subtrees were added to bolster minor nations, it annoys me that Canadian vehicles are scattered across multiple nations. and cannot be put into one line up. A prime example is the Canadian Leopard 2A4M premium in the German tree, and the latest CF-188 Hornet in the British tree.
We also have the RAM 2 in the US tech tree as well as the skink. again i understand that both were added to the US and British ground tree after a bit of backlash. i feel like it’s time to fix this issue wholly by adding the Canadian subtree.
This could also simply be modern vehicles, since the Canadians have had historically used other nations vehicles, but as such these modern vehicles could add variety to the British tree.
I also find it sad that most of my nations vehicles are locked behind a premium paywall.
all i want is to represent my nation in a game i have spent WAY to many hours in. and not have to pay 100$ for it…
to be honestly, simply because their vehicles are so spread across trees and there is valid justification for them to be, they will likely remain this way
Its so sad that majority of the Canadian representation is locked behind a paywall. All modern vehicles besides the ADATS is locked behind a paywall.
Silly me had hopeful thinking that we would get a tech tree CF18.
One of the worst parts about situation as well, is that the new CF-188A costs $110CAD, and then the Leopard 2A4M costs another $100CAD. $210cad for two vehicles, that aren’t even in the same nation lol.
C2A1 will forever only be in the German tech tree.
And 2A4M has an equivalent in the British tech tree already: Challenger 2 OES.
And currently, there is no alternative Leopard to replace 2A4M with.
Not being able to make a lineup is a weird concept to me.
I can’t put F-104S with HSTVL.
I can’t put T-55M with T-62M1.
I don’t see those as flaws personally; so I don’t understand that perspective. I acknowledge it… I just don’t understand in a forum & game rules compliance manner.
I have no opinion on this topic itself. I’m just sharing my perspective of vehicles around the idea.
It’s the same feeling for many of us Canadian players about how Canada is treated in WT. This update will add 4 vehicles to Canadian operated (two of them bug fixes), and we have more vehicles than some sub-tree we don’t even have a home. Well, I have reasons to dislike sub-trees in their current form a prefer other options(without a rework of sub-trees), but at this moment, a home in one TT is what is really wanted.
Well, we can’t do much to fix the status quo, there are some things that could be done, like voting and commenting on both the Canadian tech-tree suggestions and even more so the vehicle suggestions. Making suggestions also goes a long way, tho if you plan on doing that(it has a suggestion tracker so you don’t snipe one someone else was/is working on) or just want to be in a place with other people interested in Canada & Warthunder, I recommend joining the Discord server.
