Improved Techtree Searchability

With an increasing amount of vehicles in the game, finding exactly what you want in a techtree can be a bit time consuming at times. Especially when things like warbond tasks or battle pass tasks can require very specific vehicles to be completed.

As such, I suggest adding more searchability option to the techtrees, namely, a BR limit and a vehicle type filter.
They could simply be added next to the existing search bar, as seen here:

The functionality is very simple, really. Move the sliders in the BR limiter, and all vehicles outside of the selected BR range get greyed out in the techtree. Click on the vehicle type filter, and it brings up a list with vehicle types (heavy tank, medium tank, light tank, tank destroyer, SPAA, etc.), where you can select the ones you are currently looking for. Simply tick a checkbox, and all other vehicle types will be greyed out.

Together, these two small upgrades could help find what you’re looking for much easier. It also helps with lineup building. Want to play 7.0? Set the BR slider to 6.0 to 7.0, and you’ll immediately see all vehicles that might be relevant for that BR. Also need a tank destroyer in your lineup to complete a warbond task? Check the tank destroyer box, and you’ll immediately see only the relevant vehicles.

As a search mechanic already exists that does something similar, only by vehicle name instead of BR or type, this should hopefully not be a massive task to implement. But I still think it would improve the game.

isnt the filters button right there, achieving the same task?

I couldve sworn that that button lets you search by vehicle catagory [Aircraft, Tanks, Naval] and Rank.
I dont recall if it lets you search by subtype, but thats not a big thing honestly since you can just use your eyes to spot the colour differences

I photoshopped that in to show what it might look like. Only the search bar is currently ingame.

Better than the current filter that only shows up in the crew slots, which also still is stuck on Tier selection instead of BR. That one also only filters the crew slot scroll down list of vehicles in that crew slot, but not the tech tree itself.

Best regards,
