2- HARD NO.
I demand my 3 Canadas.
the lazy Canada
the smart Canada
the stupid Canada
This would be less needed if Gaijin added simple color coding. If it was clear which was the main Finland for example I don’t think I’d mind having the option to select three of them.
If I don’t want to be confused, maybe I just don’t select them, but the option doesn’t do any harm so long as it’s clear where it’s placed and where there’s only one-off vehicles.
Maybe someone who really loves Poland might appreciate three Polish tech trees, I wouldn’t want to limit that. (Hopefully even add a fourth with an independent Polish tree)

It doesn’t matter because what we pick for our client will never show up to other players.
Edit:
Like this: I will only see.
The only way other players will see Columbia is if I bring Kfir C10 into a match and they have this setting checked:
The only way they see Bangladesh is if I have VT-5 in my lineup and they have “Use operator flags” checked.

Yep, can’t confuse anyone but ourselves.
What I meant with color coding though, is that currently there is no indication for subtree placement in game, it’s all either news or forum statements. In game the only way to tell is to look where certain nations vehicles are placed which is very unreliable and misleading.
But I’m all for keeping the options, they just need to communicate what nation goes where permanently, and what is just a one-off.

If you have the time and maybe some more opinions on it, you could look over my attempt at improving the nation selection for the Subtree Rework suggestion in a planned update.
I’m looking for more opinions right now to make sure that any changes to the suggestion are the best they can be and nothing major is forcibly added / changed without warning.

solid idea but for me not the most urgent stuff they need to redo. isnt the idea a bit flawed when it comes to the grind since some nations do lack many tanks/planes to have a somewhat grindable techtree

Probably not, but it’s the part that I like to care for. I’m not trying to imply it’s the most important or urgent issue.
I’d rather get some more player opinions and discussions to make sure the idea is something I’d consider ready to implement. It’s not something I can do entirely alone.
That is exactly the point. Some nations simply don’t have entirely grindable techtrees, however could be introduced if they could share lineups with other nations. That’s what subtrees are.
This suggestion is an improvement to those subtrees. Instead of grouping nations together in one research tree, subtrees are now set up as their own research tree, but grouped with another. So instead of for example a British tree with some Indian vehicles in select holes and many locked as premiums, there is now space for a British and Indian research trees that can be expanded on as equals.
They can still share lineups in much the same way they do now, but they get more space, and more autonomy that allows players to more individually decide what they do or don’t want to play. Think of it as “subtrees+”, where all the benefits of subtrees are kept, but the benefits of independent nations are also added.
Though if you want proper detail, you can go back to look at the details in the actual suggestion where it’s written a lot better.

I also noticed that France can’t have an Israeli flag despite the old Vautour premium
Some of you guys take this way too seriously. For example:
Me putting a Kazak flag instead of USSR/Russia doesn’t mean I have anything to do with
Kazakhstan, or I’m taking a political stance against Russia. I didn’t put the Iranian flag for the US of A, because I have something against the West. I didn’t replace the Chinese flag with the Vietnamese one because I’m taking a stand against how China treats other nations in the South China Sea. No, this is a damn video game. Who cares. Choose whatever flag looks cool and run with it.

Once again, all of this would be solved by replacing the flag customization feature with allowing flag customization on tech tree and stat card through wt live. Idk how to make suggestions like this. Do I gotta make a new thread?
Although now that the new system has been implemented, I doubt they’ll get rid of it.
I’ve seen some people who fail to understand this new functionality. Remember:
You only see what flags you have set for each nation. Not what others have set for it.
Someone was having a whinge on a TEC video about how this new mechanic will cause there to be 20 flags ingame and how will they remember who is who…
This might surprise you, but different teams work on different things. I doubt the people who make the UI also tweak aircraft weaponry and such.

(Not) very nice :(
You’re right, i edited my post. I’ve had a couple wins at 9.0 USSR today and both have been nukes, that is how it has been. Not sure if all the experienced players are spamming for the new Chieftain or what is going on, lol.
Been playing top-tier USSR lately and that’s just easy win mode. But 9.0 USSR is usually easy too, ah, idk.
No worries! I’ve only played at 11.7 and 10.7 since the update and I can’t say I’ve had any better luck with my teammates than you have. You’d think the 5x daily backups would help a bit but I honestly can’t say I’ve noticed.
I might have to take the Object292 out and see how it’s going since the decompression.
You’re right. Still seeing a bunch of one death leavers. I think many don’t even know about this new feature or simply don’t care.
I’ve not tested if it’s possible, but maybe people are using more than one backup every battle (on some other vehicles they brought) and thus burn through their daily ration in less than 5 battles, maybe as few as 2. IDK how other people’s habits are but I guess you’ll play more than 2 battles
has gaijin community managers and devs avoided this thread or have they acknowledged something
