Dutch and Belgian Aircraft are Joining the French Tree!

it has cultural relevance, the exact way they have used to integrate other nations equipment. Everyone loved hopping on Britain mains crying over the Canadian Leo. I for one am glad Germany got a taste of the “same” treatment with piss poor reasoning not benefiting them. While I do agree with you to some extent, I’m glad to see the bad takes handed out equally.

Not slowly at all, considering that they do more in a single year than some AAA devs get done in a development cycle to then sell for 80 bucks.

There’s a reason why WT is one of the most long-lived and most successful MMOs ever.

Because Italy should have never been an independent tree. But it’s gotten better with Hungary and will get better still later on.

If we can’t condense tech trees into one another, the next best available option is to consolidate them, which is what they’ve been doing.

A better one.

I’ve seen a friend of mine get enough nukes in the thing to know the problem isn’t the vehicle.

Let me clarify. Some of the things you said, like for example

… make it sound like you’re actively not enjoying the game. Now, it’s one thing to discuss whether you and I prefer this or that solution to this or that feature in the game, but it’s obvious that if your outlook on the game is overwhelmingly negative overall, you’re also going to feel negative about a sub tree.

God, please no. We already have too many independent tech trees in the game. I strongly support more nations being added, but no more independent trees.

Once again, BRD and DDR vehicles are in the same tree. The game doesn’t group vehicles like IRL. Otherwise we’d still have locked matchmaking.

Yet.

If you are being specific to the exact configuration as will be presented (we don’t yet know the exact ordnance fitout and there are a few potential options which may constrain things) The US, and maybe the Swedish / German / Italian Tech Tree (via future sub trees) may be able to get equivalents or close counterparts in the future from a few client nations as the MLU / OCU was fairly widely used (or if they properly modeled the -ADF) .

Lmao what?

Because Italy should have never been an independent tree. But it’s gotten better with Hungary and will get better still later on.

So more than half a decade later we’re still waiting for it to get good, Japan taking even longer and has been overtaken by Sweden in a few years for what it’s been waiting for for close to a decade.

A better one.

Negligible difference not worth grinding a tree for.

Really solid argument there lol…

make it sound like you’re actively not enjoying the game.

Just sounds like I’m critical of the game and it’s design and you’re trying to make it something it’s not for whatever reason.

Belgium and the Netherlands share (command over) the Benelux airspace, same goes for their navies
Luxembourg just tags along

Dutch integration/deep cooperation with the Bundeswehr is something very recent, something that even post-dates German reunification. Arguably we’ve used a lot of German equipment, but the same thing can be said about American, British, French or even Swedish equipment.

Belgium and the Dutch in France… but what an insult again.
We are really tired of seeing “new nations” merging with others without respecting their own historical identity.

Under the pretext that one country sold equipment to another, they will therefore be merged together? So Gaijin will merge the 197 countries into the 9 Nations of the game?

Do not forget: the Royal Belgian Army, although close brothers to France, has always favored USA, Italian and German equipment.
The Dutch don’t even talk about it…

In this case… When will the Ukrainian units (with a flag) be in the Russian tree ?

Please, stop this and make single trees for all nations without mixing
Please, respect nations, their histories and their flag.

👎 I don’t approve of that!

Look at what CoD does and get back to me.

As I said, Italy should have never been an independent tech tree. It was a mistake. Let’s not even bring Israel into the conversation.

The players are not innocent in this, by the way. More tech trees are requested all the time, even though they’ve always been a terrible idea. Some of those requests are being repeated in this very thread.

However, you cannot honestly say Italy right now is remotely comparable to what it was at launch.

They’re obviously doing them one at a time. We had Sweden, then Italy, then France. Not sure if China or Japan next, but obviously the rotation will continue.

Subjective opinion which, judging by the increase in Italy players, clearly many people don’t share.

It is. Do you think it’s a coincidence that light vehicles keep going up in BR? In a game based on capture points and pinpoint accuracy, mobility and RoF are the meta. All the more so given the connection to flying.

That’s my point, you don’t sound like you’re critical of the game but like you’re pissed off at it and feel forced to play parts of the game you’re not interested in.

Usually criticism in a leisure context is about stuff that can be done better in a product you otherwise enjoy overall.

I don’t know about you, but if I’m watching a TV show and I think it’s hot garbage, I drop it. If a book is crap, I DNF it. Same with a game.

Considering this is primarily about Leopards and such the recent part is more relevant, as we’re not talking about Dutch WW2 tanks.

I think you’ll find sympathies running a bit short when the ground tree is what it is. Unless you purely play air.

there’s more to the game than a bunch of Leopards

Top tier syndrome.

Dreadnought and Ikoma were commisioned in 1906

No idea… Call of Duty has released more than 10 games in the period WT has been around.

The players are not innocent in this, by the way. More tech trees are requested all the time, even though they’ve always been a terrible idea. Some of those requests are being repeated in this very thread.

Players request everything and nothing, every feature has been requested to be added and for it to be removed, ultimately it’s snail that is responsible for adding things that are worthwhile additions to the game, as much as they want to shift the blame to the players as well.

They’re obviously doing them one at a time. We had Sweden, then Italy, then France. Not sure if China or Japan next, but obviously the rotation will continue.

Sweden is already far superior to Japan in a few years whilst Japan has been in a sorry state for the better part of the decade.

Subjective opinion which, judging by the increase in Italy players, clearly many people don’t share.

I’m not seeing the increase, and if there is, the OF-40 isn’t the reason.

It is. Do you think it’s a coincidence that light vehicles keep going up in BR? In a game based on capture points and pinpoint accuracy, mobility and RoF are the meta. All the more so given the connection to flying.

Well my dad’s friend’s uncle’s son said otherwise.
Light vehicles go up in BR because of snails inability to create a damage model for them that works and instead rewards no armor best armor that makes a milktruck more survivable to modern MBTs than modern MBTs.

Aubl isn’t a good vehicle by any means however and the HVG even worse.

That’s my point, you don’t sound like you’re critical of the game but like you’re pissed off at it and feel forced to play parts of the game you’re not interested in.

Again you’re making things up, just drop this dumb narrative if you want to continue the conversation, this was getting old an hour ago and repeating it again and again isn’t helping.
I can be critical of a game design choices without having to stop playing the game.

Okay, because the Dutch played such a major role in WW2 and the cold war? It has nothing to do with the scope of the game but rather what vehicles of value can be added to the game as a result of this, which will mostly be modern vehicles as stated.

I disagree, even if the dutch lost their entire mainland AF quite fast, they were still part of the war effort, whith many unique planes that would prove a great addition to the game. They also continued the war effort in the British and Australian AF respectively.

That’s… the point.
You can access most of the content that gets added to WT for free. CoD will ask you for a full AAA price every two years in exchange for much less than what gets added to WT in a year.

They’ve never blamed the players for asking for tech trees. And I do agree that the final decision was theirs, so it was still a mistake. But let’s also not pretend that the devs don’t follow trends of interest. There is an order of magnitude between requests for new trees and many other silly requests.

At the cost of sounding like a broken record, if it was built, it’ll come to the game. So Japan will get a nice big injection of content too. Probably soon.

You were literally given a link to Data Project by Thomas_Belgium earlier in the thread.

No, you’re right: it’s because of the Hungarian sub tree injecting content and filling gaps. Which is what I’ve been saying all along.

While talking about players I know may be anecdotal, the increase in BR for light vehicles across every tech tree and rank of the game is factual.

That’s certainly a factor but by no means the main one, because surviving shots doesn’t net you that much extra score. Mobility is by far the largest factor. Everything else cascades from there.

Literally just responding to stuff you’re saying, buddy.
