I don’t think anyone believes Australia could be an independent tree. Indeed, my tree suggestions are sub tree suggestions, and my poll options in this thread are asking who it’s going with.
USA and Russia are the two nations who will never need tech tree help. Canada has direct links to UK, so having Canada go to UK makes more sense, if those were the only two options presented.
As I said earlier though, I don’t think Canada or Australia should be confined to the UK tree, I see other options that are more fun and interesting, or flat out better for the game.
To be honest, I don’t really see why people think UK needs any additional help at all. Any gaps it has could still be filled by UK vehicles. I assume that if additional sub trees were added to UK such as Canada or Australia that were surplus to creating lineups (meaning, they aren’t needed to help make lineups at a given BR) they would make less money for Gaijin because people would be less incentivized to buy content to get them.
If it was a whole new tech tree, like with the Pacific Nations idea, or Canada and Australia together, people would buy premium vehicles for it to research the tree faster, they would buy additional crew slots for the new tech tree etc. They might even spend money on converting rp or buying crew xp to level it all up faster. If someone already has all that stuff for UK, and has 5-6 vehicles in every lineup, why would they want to buy more?
i have heard the simple “Leave as premium vehicles” idea but frankly i don’t want to grind a whole new tech tree for certain vehicles that the nation im currently playing as has the basic ones. for instance the whole USA F-15 debait, brand new vehicle for all nations yet the nation that created it gets the worst one? so i feel like greece should be added to usa for said reason, as you get access to some final teir versions of vehicles you wouldn’t have otherwise.
and personally i don’t know about you but i’m trying to avoid adding new trees as much as possible. i made a nation map and i simply removed israel as an independant tech tree because of how badly gaiijin has handled it, or could possibly do so. the only reason israel seems to stand on it’s own is it’s not a simple copy paste of any specific nation and it’s just yucky
i mean one big issue with working out this stuff is at one point it’s not so much “this nation needs help with their BRs” and so much where do we put this so players can enjoy it
it’s the australian breakdancer, who obviously had NO breakdancing skill, it looks like a baby rolling around more or less and that’s why it gets thrown around so much as it’s relatable to how well the average person can breakdance
My issue with “leave Australia as premium vehicles” is the number of Australian vehicles I personally want in the game and how long it would take to add them at the current rate of addition. Not to mention, I would have to buy all of them every time. Although on the subject of money, I would probably be someone who buys things like crew slots, all the premiums, maybe crew xp etc. for a new tech tree Australia was part of.
It’s important to remember that just because USA doesn’t currently have the best version of an F-15, that doesn’t mean it needs a sub tree. USA will still get better F-15s later on, this is just the order of release Gaijin has done them in so far. But there are vehicles out there that other nations will get better versions of simply because that’s what happened in real history.
New nations will still need to happen, there’s lots of interesting content out there that doesn’t fit within the current tech trees (for reasons such as the 5 line tech tree limit that apparently exists, although I’m still quite ok with the alternate tab trees idea). Israel wasn’t handled very well, but that shouldn’t put us off wanting to see the content we want to see. And hopefully Israel will get a major content boost at some point anyway.
Well it did go to the British tech tree. It does mean we can’t use the M1A1 AIM and F-111C together. Sad Australian noises. I’m not disappointed the F-111C is in the British tree, I’m disappointed the AIM is in the USA tree unlike any other Australian vehicles.
That’s why I want Australia in a tech tree where everything is together and a large amount of its content is introduced. That’s why I make threads like this. :-D
Btw console players can’t use custom skins, but I can slap a RAAF roundel on the US F-111s.
oh yeah that reminds me, someone found a lead saying F-35As could use ASRAAMs, AUS is the only country that has ASRAAMS and F-35As but it says you got rid of em after selling your F/A-18Cs, did you have any in surplus so that F-35As can use ASRAAMS? because it seems odd that they’re compatable but nobody has a use for htem
I just wanted to thank everyone for the votes and input. Even if my preferred option was not popular, it was still interesting to see how, as of typing, 95 people voted.
