Germany is still under US occupation, just give it to the US as a subtree.
And since the US speaks english, Germany and the US need to be implemented in the UK tree.
Easy.

Hunter wasn’t heavily exported.
we sold some to the indians because they couldn’t (still cant) make a decent jet fighter as seen by what happened with Marut. The Swiss as they were also buying our Centurions and the Swedish, who were also buying our centurions.
It was not a commercial success at all.
By Jingo you have a deal
this is second hand sales and sales so small its irrellevant. did forget about the dutch, they bought pretty much anything we would sell them. same with the saudis.
Its no American or Canadair sabre or fiat G91
and Rhodesia was still British at the time so doesn’t count. The rhodie hunter is the unobtainable premium btw, do want to get my hands on it.
*dont bring up the US exports XD
I will give you sabres but you are dead wrong about the rest.
Sweden bought 120 hunters. With only some 1900 hunters being made thats also relevant number.
770 being made, significantly less than hunters, and was used only by italy, w.germany, greece and portugal. Much shorter list than that of hunter operators. (Also US tested 2 but only tested).
with well over half of them being in RAF service.
140 indian
only 24 in dutch
160 swiss but a lot were second hand and not bought directly
112 belgian.
FOUR saudi
SIX somali, seriously the somalians had more than the saudis
couple aircraft here and there for the others isn’t really anything, most of them were sold out of British, dutch and belgian airforces.
and still tiny compared to aircraft exports from other major arms seller countries
Second hand export is still export as there are usually origin country approval requirements.
And back to the original point, hunter was exported, and britain phased out theirs and moved onto more advanced design, whereas other countries had to upgrade theirs.
Sad fact, but nevertheless it means britain cant get more advanced hunters unless its from different airforce.
i am pretts sure the german one is the one with the gian cupola weakpoint
realy crying about a t-34 thats a step in between the 2 russian version and sits at 4.3? russia still has the better ones sitting at 4.7
tell me again how many trees have bf109, leopards of any kind etc.
Take a guess what export nations are, all the ones you named are either captured look at franch panthers ,swedish king tiger 2, japanese tiger etc, or imports from cold war were germany was quite restricted.
China gets vehicles from 2 sides of the world as well, thats history. Most nation has a lot of stuff of other nation. Just that ww2 stuff and cold war for the most part dont matter to gajin since top tier makes the money and aims to be more unique there when possible
