My guess is some vehicles just lack enough info and the naval units might be too modern. Could also be that USSR just doesn’t need a sub or another country like Bangladesh is planned for China (imo, China should be the next one to get a subtree)

You could list a couple of vehicles

Iran has a rich and unique military history with a mix of Western, Eastern, and indigenous equipment that would fit well into War Thunder’s vehicle combat focus. Israel was successfully added despite a heavy reliance on copy-paste vehicles in ranks IV–VII (with unique top-tier content). Iran can follow a similar approach while offering several distinctive vehicles and loadouts that are not currently represented.

Key points in favor of inclusion:

  • Unique high-tier content: Iranian F-14A Tomcats with domestic missiles (Fakour-90, Sedjil), upgraded Phantoms (F-4E), indigenous fighters (Azarakhsh, Saeqeh, Kowsar), and modern SAMs (Bavar-373, 15th Khordad, Raad family, Tor-M1, etc.).
  • Ground forces: Mix of upgraded Western tanks (Chieftain/Shir, M60 Samsam, M47 Tiam/Sabalan), licensed/Soviet vehicles (T-72S, BMP-2 with Dehlavieh ATGMs), and indigenous designs (Zulfiqar family, Karrar MBT, Tosan light tank, various ATGM carriers and technicals).
  • Air defense and missiles: Strong indigenous SAM and ATGM programs (Toophan family, Dehlavieh/Kornet copy, Almas, etc.) plus ballistic/rocket systems that could support future content.
  • Iran already operates vehicles that exist in the game in modified form, so implementation cost for lower/mid tiers would be relatively low (similar to Israel), while higher tiers provide genuine uniqueness.

Iran has an active player community and a long military aviation and armored history that would add interesting gameplay variety, especially with mixed Western/Eastern weapon loadouts on the same airframes.

Useful open sources for research (Iranian military equipment):

Additional neutral references (Wikipedia / Oryx / GlobalSecurity) also document the mix of indigenous upgrades and imported systems.

What difference does it make? Gaijin don’t care. They love adding copy paste.

AI can skimp over a lot of details, I would recommend looking at tree proposals instead

Both Iran and Greece have a good amount of unique vehicles. I’ll share Greek examples:

Wouldn’t say full but definitely much more saturated than Israel.
