Hypothetical Poland/Eastern Europe Naval Tech Tree Project

Hello,

I am creating this thread to propose and discuss a potential naval tech tree for a hypothetical Poland/Eastern Europe tech tree, which has been rumored in the past.

I’m not writing this as a suggestion because I have not done nearly enough research to qualify it, and I’m hoping that through discussions here I can find some decent sources to potentially expand this to a full suggestion in the future.

This tech tree is (currently) a composite of the navies of four nations: Poland, which is rumored to be the main flag of the nation; Austria-Hungary, a predecessor to many Eastern European and Balkan states; Ukraine, which has access to the Black Sea; and Yugoslavia, another predecessor nation with significant naval history.

Each vessel in the tech tree is labelled with its country of origin (PL, A-H, UA, and YU respectively). Also included tentatively are Soviet vessels of the Black Sea Fleet built in Ukraine. I don’t think Gaijin would go for this as it would be controversial, but these vessels would mostly be copy/paste from the current USSR tree and help fill lineups, so I’m including them. Other vessels of similar types could still be added to the USSR tree. Otherwise, all listed (UA) vessels were at one point or another controlled by independent Ukrainian forces.

I currently have two completed Bluewater lines:

Ranks I-II

ah pl ua yu bluewater ver 1 rank 1,2

Ranks III-IV

ah pl ua yu bluewater ver 1 rank 3,4

Ranks V, VI, VIII

ah pl ua yu bluewater ver 1 rank 5,6,7

Based on my preliminary research, the Bluewater section has fewer options than the Coastal section will, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I was able to find!

Let me know what you think and offer me suggestions so I can keep iterating on this and hopefully one day turn it into an actual Suggestions post!

Since I’m sure someone will ask, here’s what the bluewater tree would look like without the USSR vessels (I think it’s still pretty good)

Stalingrad and Sovetskaya Ukraina are Soviet, why would they go to some random European tree, Ukraine in general will go to the Soviet tree.

Not a bad idea here, though not sure how they’ll work Austria-Hungary, considering Hungary is an Italian Sub TT. As for the Ukrainian Stuff, I think you can leave Soborna Ukraina in your second TT. As for the Soviet ships built in Ukraine, I don’t think there’s a strong case to be made for adding those as part of the TT.

I think it’s fair to give their naval assets to this tech tree on the basis of need. The Italian TT is more robust without A-H than this tech tree would be without it. Plus, if this hypothetical tech tree contains Croatia and Yugoslavia as the leaks suggested, then A-H is also a predecessor to those states.

I could, and it would be another unique vessel for the tech tree. But I also think that’s the exact reason why it would be disputed. The Soviets technically held onto it for longer, and since it was a project, neither faction used it for anything.

I’ll consider myself “on the fence.”
