Good points here.
Nothing against Canada… mostly just against copy-paste.
I understand the desire to have Canadian vehicles (not just skin)… but on the other hand it is hella annoying to play against an entire team of (for example) functionally identical MiG-15bis from 3 trees at 7.7-8.7.
I can honestly live with the fact we will probably never see a Canadian tech tree; but there are feasible things that could be done as a half way point.
The main thing is to pull away from them only being premiums, fomo event vehicles; and most importantly not scattered across multiple nations. More decals and skins would help too to a lesser extent.
It’s not the only solution, but I also think it would also be cool to expand the metadata associated with skins to effectively convert a vehicle in real time into one of a different nation.
For example, if you slap a Canadian skin on the NF-5A, it acquires a Canadian flag, Canadian/English voice lines, credit towards tasks requiring Canadian vehicles, etc.
Well, unlikely to get weapons that are WT possable the first RCAF PC-21 is on the way.

Other major news, for something that will be WT possible one day,
The P-8 Poseidon fleet Canada had ordered had a major milestone in February, with the main body of the airframe being put together.
I do like that but I also don’t at the same time.
The reason is because it would affect a couple things:
A: The price of those skins would go up on market because of demand and people willing to pay more due to it providing more active benefits.
B: You would then have something that can help tasks or potentially other benefits that are now paywalled essentially.
So I like it but the features would have to be very carefully picked.
