How about regional tech trees instead of national?

With the recent drama of china vehicle in japanese tech tree and game being online for years now and changed significantly, how about a complete overhaul of a tech tree idea?

Make them geography driven, not national.

rough idea

  1. America - USA, Canada, Mexico, an entire South America…
  2. Western Europe - France, England, Italy, Spain…
  3. Central Europe - Poland, Czehia, Balkans, Hungary, Turkey, Ukraine… (Germany could go here, boosting lower BR and not making Western Europe too powerful)
  4. Northern Europe - Scandinavia and Baltics
  5. Eastern Europe - russia…
  6. Middle East and Africa - SAR, Israel, Iran… oh my… (but this area is at war for 2000 years now…)
  7. South East Asia - India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand…
  8. East Asia and Australia - Japan, China, Korea(s)…

What will it do for the game?

  • less political issues and ability to add any nation to the game without controversies
  • copy paste will not be seen as a lazy addition
  • fresh dynamics for sesoned players
  • much better lineups for small countries
  • gaijin can sell the same premium vehicle yet again for a different TT like they did with STRV 81

India and Pakistan are South Asian countries (including Sri Lanka), and the border of Southeast Asia is Myanmar.

No matter what you do with tech tree someones is going to be offended by some geopolitical issue.

Don’t worry they don’t need to rearrange tech trees to do that.

Copy paste will always be seen as lazy by most people.

But if arranged that way, players will have a choice how they want to fill their lineups.
eg.: Will it be China only, or maybe Korea only, or mix of everything if they wouldnt mind?

No.

This idea would work only if something like the subtree rework idea was applied as many of the tree would be too large to fit all the vehicles.

How do you handle matchmaker?

How do you get semi-historical battles?

Are we going to turn ground sim and air sim into arcade/high tier ARB civil war with this?

A big appeal of air sim is having axis versus allies. With this, you rob us of that appeal.
