With what a certain president said, if Canada finish in the US tree it would be just an damn insult and a good reason to delete the game for a lot of Canadian people.

To be fair, they straight up just buy US defence companies/parts of companies. At this point, how British is BAE?
They bought LM Sanders (likely a big part of why their EW stuff is good), they bought United Defence (Bradley creator), Armor Holdings, Tenix Defence (Australian but still furthers point about BAE being British on a technicality), Atlantic Marine (shipbuilders), parts of United Technologies and Raytheon, aerospace division of Ball Corporation, and likely more. The majority of their money is made by their US based subsidiary.
The question you should be asking is how American are the companies BAE bought? 😉
Also let’s face it, the USA is the last TT which needs a subtree. It’s like saying a fat person needs to eat more McDonald’s

Never gonna happen. Canada was confirmed awhile back won’t ever be a Sub-Tree.
Remember they try and still want to claim Israel, hmmmm I wonder how many French and British Tech they want. I mean they can’t cherry pick if they want a sub then they must have all of it.

How american is all the American companies BAE bought out?
Pretty American
No, a BAE subtree is not what I want, just saying that even if there was, it probably wouldn’t all go to UK anyways
When a company is bought out by a foreign one it loses most of its national ties unless its for PR like with MG or Land Rover who pretend to still be British but are both Chinese and Indian now. Its the same for Lockheed Martin AES, which is now BAE (ES)

Wait LM is now BAE xD
not all of Lockheed Martin, only some parts of it. the main part you are thinking of is still USA owned. BAE also owns some old parts of Boeing and make parts for their aircraft too

It didn’t though, BAE has a full US based subsidiary, and when they bought LM Sanders they still maintained the ties because they needed the facilities and expertise to be able to make the EW suite for the F-22.
Well BAE has become the true monopoly of defense lol, it and Rheinmetall completely dominate europe in tech, Rafael does the same for the middle east and the CNIG group for asia, i’d personally say Raytheon and LM are the biggest on that side of the world but to see BAE beginning to spread influence overseas is funny

BAE has been around in US for a while now, mostly off of buying US companies though
They are #6 defense company here so they have a ways to go
If Britain can get 2 subtrees (SA and India) and vehicles from a third (Australia) which will give it access to pretty much every single top tier vehicle (aircraft at least), then I don’t see why US shouldn’t receive a subtree.
US is quite lacking in the 8.3-10.3 and most of the vehicles in that range are ending up as premium and event, even worse is that if Stingray light tank is given to Thailand, and not to the US (or both at least), US literally won’t have a single tracked light tank with a large caliber cannon because all of them ended up as event or somewhere else.
By far the biggest outside of America is a significant achievement, since you practically rely on defense companies to keep your economy afloat

America does NOT need a subtree and likely never will, alongside russia they are the two largest and easiest tech trees in the game and absolutely do not require fleshing out in ground, air, naval or helis

I have to say the US is the last nation that needs a sub, plus there no room for it.
India and Australia if we are lucky would prolong Britain life as we would just get Typhoons with Tornado and maybe a few harriers.
Anyway if you did get a sub tree 100% guarantee you will just kick off about C&P.
