Quite a small, yet very significant update to my ground tree
Finally added a toptier MBT - Leopard 2A8 (Czech goverment agreed on its purchase a few days back, and the official contract should be signed by the end of this year).
On top of that, I´ve added another 4 vehicles (meaning 5 in total in this update), added rank 8, changed BRs and ranks of few vehicles and few other changes.
New vehicles
Leopard 2A8CZ (Rank VIII, BR 12.0, Researchable)
Armament: 120mm Rh120 L/55A1
Max speed: 72km/h
Armor: similiar to Leopard 2A7 (probably slightly improved)
APS: Trophy
(Picture is only a placeholder. It shows a Leopard 2A8 demonstrator based on the Leopard 2A7 (specifically Danish variant i think). No true Leopard 2A8 has been produced as of now, and deliveries should begin in 2027, with majority of the tanks to be assembled directly in Czech Republic)
KBVP Pandur II Prototype (Rank VII, BR 10.7, Event)
Armament:
30mm Bushmaster II
2x Spike-LR
Max speed: 105km/h
Armor: can withstand fire from 14.5mm
This vehicle differs from the production variant by slightly different hull, Spike missiles placed horizontally instead of vertically, different placement of smoke launchers and lack of commander CITV
S-10M2D (Rank VII, BR 10.7, Researchable)
Armament: 4x 9M37M missiles (+4 additional)
Max speed: 62km/h
Armor: max 7mm
Czech modification of the Strela-10, featuring modified IFF and PVK-10M commander station, which allows the Strela to receive information about air situation from friendly radars, improving its ability to detect enemy aircraft
OT-64 with M40 (Rank IV, BR 6.7, Squadron)
Armament: 106mm M40
Max speed: 94km/h
Armor: can protect from small arms fire
Uruguyan modification of the OT-64
Škoda 6MTP6 vz.34 (Rank I, BR 1.0, Researchable)
Armament: 37mm KPÚV vz. 34
Max speed: 45km/h
Armor: none
Other changes
KBVP Pandur II: BR changed to 10.3
KBVP Pandur II Samson: BR changed to 10.3
Corsac IFV with Spike and Bushmaster: BR changed to 10.3
Scipio with Spike and Bushmaster: BR changed to 10.3
KBVP Pandur II PAO: BR changed to 10.7
CV90 Mk.IV CZ: Moved to rank VIII
CV90 Mk.IV SK: Moved to rank VIII
CV90 CZr: Changed to premium
Škoda 6MTP6 Z1: Foldered with Škoda 6MTP6 vz.34, BR changed to 1.3
Number of vehicle after the changes
Rank I: 21 researchable vehicles + 10 premium vehicles
Rank II: 16 researchable vehicles + 2 premium vehicles
Rank III: 12 researchable vehicles + 4 premium vehicles
Rank IV: 15 researchable vehicles + 7 premium/squadron vehicles
Rank V: 22 researchable vehicles + 6 premium/event vehicles
Rank VI: 24 researchable vehicles + 8 premium/event vehicles
Rank VII: 18 researchable vehicles + 5 premium/event/squadron vehicles
Rank VIII: 3 researchable vehicles
Total vehicle count: 173 vehicles (making it by far the largest techtree in game, having 12 vehicles more than the Soviet techtree and more vehicles than France and Sweden COMBINED)
Of that:
113 fully indigenous (I.E. developed and produced in Czech/Slovak factories) (65%)
50 upgrades of foreign vehicles (mainly of licenses) (29%)
10 copy-paste (vehicles that would play same as their in-game counterparts) (6%)
I could be wrong but apparently, Czechoslovakia made the first mass-produced WHEELED howitzer.
152 mm SpGH DANA
Pretty neat
Sorry for the delayed notice but can you modify the red text in this comment, red is reserved for mod use.
Better photos:
Sure, no problem. Should i modify the text just in the most recent comment about the techtree update (the one you replied to) or all of them?
Also, does the ,red color ban" also include different variations of red, such as scarlet or blood red, or does it include just the classic red?
Otherwise i will probably have to use some variation of brown ofcourse, but that almost certainly just wouldnt look as good as red imo
I would say all types of red, I noticed on a few other comments on other suggestions you had red but I wont really ask you to go back months and change everything as that is too much to ask but just going forward try to avoid the use any form of red font color.
Here is a snip from the Forum guidelines.

Yes, i love such gun trucks.
Are there any photos of the TITUS in Czech service fitted with the ARX 25 turret?
Sadly no,
AČR (Czech army) only uses versions that serve as either staff command, fire support coordination centre or signals vehicle. These versions only have pintle mounted machine gun on the roof because they would be behind the front lines
here’s a picture of Titus that is in service
Hi,
I found more vehicles that could be added to the tech-tree.
TITUS 6x6 with a French RapidFire unmanned turret
Crew : 2?
Armament :
- 40 mm CTA auto-cannon
- max 4000 m range for aircraft
- It can fire airburst, HE, SAP, proximity and APFSDS (penetration of 140mm RHA at 1500m)
- 140 rounds of ready rack ammo (maybe more stored?)
- 200 rpm?
I’m not certain if any prototype exists (this is the only picture i could find, and I have a suspicion that its just proof of concept).
BOV 8x8
First official Slovak Patria AMV XP 8x8 (locally named BOV 8x8) in IFV version.
Its basically same as VYDRA that is already in the tech-tree but it is on a newer hull and uses lightened version of Turra 30.
Slovakia plans to buy up to 500 vehicles in multiple versions (IFV, APC, SPAA, Mortar, Recon ect.).

Waran 4x4 Shorad (Poprad II?)
Crew : 2?
Armament : 8 Piorium or Grom missles (probably more stored)
Its a successor to the Polish Poprad Shorad system.
Its based on a Waran 4x4 (which is Polonized Patriot II), still in the early stages of development so there will be changes.
So probably for the extended tech-tree.

Also I wanted to ask about why you decided not to include Ottokar-Brzoza and Waran anti-drone variant in either of the tech trees?
According to a spokesperson:
“Plans are underway at the moment to integrate this system on our own TITUS vehicle”
However, as is the case with quite a few French projects there’s usually not even a photo to prove something is even happening.
In any case, the TITUS ARX 25 and TITUS RAPIDFire (if photos do emerge of its existence) would go to France as they were French projects which the Czech Republic had no participation in them. Whilst the TITUS is based on a Czech chassis, the rest of the vehicle is produced by Nexter and it is overall a French product. TITUS’s were even produced in France for export to countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
+1. Should be added a Sub-Tree for Russia in my opinion
I’m flagging you, because you are insulting thousands of players.
Nobody wants their nation to be a subtree in russian tech tree
It’s already serving as a filler lol
If anything Czechoslovakia would be a Polish sub as part of a EE nation.
Would love to this tech tree added.
Visegrad 👀
Edit: Czechoslovakia tree still a cool concept though.
there is a ongoing movement for adding czechoslovakia xd
Even if it would be just Poland and Czechoslovakia for Visegrad, it would still be coold TT full of interesting vehicles for both ground and air. Plus i think Poland and CZSK would fill each other gaps pretty well.
