Independent Polish Aviation Tech Tree (re-posted for the new forum)

As with the other post on Yugoslavia, I decided to move the thread on the new forum and provide a place to discuss Poland as a new nation. Like the previous, it’s a suggestion that had been passed to the devs a while back.

I made it before 4th generation jets were added, so bear in mind back then we used to think tier 7 would comprise modern jets and that’s why the MiG-29 and F-16 are not tier 8.

There are a total of 120 aircraft.

Love your work! As for personal preference, I’d move the PZL.55 above the Kania, which actually accepted instead, and probably switch some of the licensed aircraft with the polish premiums, but other than that, absolutely amazing!

Thanks! ♥

If I were to change something (I’ve lost the photoshop draft of it unfortunately), I would fix my mistake of assuming and naming all Polish planes under the “P.” suffix.

I moved the PZL.55 to tier 2 because performance-wise it seemed fitting, and I do not have any of those paper premiums in the main tree because of they never came into existence. I would love Gaijin to make an exception for Poland though, because then it could turn out to be a more fleshed out and unique nation in air than some other nations!

Poland deserves its own tree.

The FA-50GF, whose deliveries were completed two weeks ago, is intended to replace the Su-22, so it will be suitable as the last vehicle in this TT’s attacker line.

Sounds very good! What are the specs?

Interview with Polish Air Force Brigadier General Ireneusz Nowak: https://polska-zbrojna.pl/Mobile/ArticleShow/37927

The FA-50GF was created as a modified version of the TA-50 Block II, which was being built for the ROKAF. This was done in response to the Polish government’s request to “deliver it as quickly as possible”.

The TA-50 is an aircraft developed based on the T-50, capable of using radar and weapons, but lacking RWR and CFDS. This is because the TA-50 is a Lead in Fighter Trainer (LIFT), intermediate stage between the T-50 and the FA-50. Pilots aboard the TA-50 are in the final stages of training (that is, training has not yet been completed), and it is difficult to consider them capable of performing full-scale missions into enemy.

The FA-50 is an aircraft developed based on the TA-50 and is no longer a training aircraft. It is intended to be capable of carrying out combat missions, so of course it is equipped with RWR and CMDS.

Newly installed CMDS for TA-50. From 0 places to 4 places.

The TA-50 Block II brings the existing TA-50 into line with FA-50 standards for efficiency in production and training. (There are some differences in detail, but it’s probably not something we’ll pay close attention to.)

The TA-50 Block II reflects FA-50 modification experience, has improved maneuverability, can use precision-guided weapons (KGGB, GUB-12, GUB-54, etc with AN/AAQ-33 sniper pod), and can perform night missions.

Ground simulator and cockpit

If you would like to know more details about the T-50 family, you can see my thread.

Hi, I’ve been working on Polish Aiviantion and Ground TT for past 3 years and I did look on your old page to see this TT but…its kinda mid lol.

Sorry yes you did put effort into it, but it looks like you puted eveyrthing in there but also nothing, it very much reminds me of how WG creates its techtress - just put anything in there to fill up the gap, it feel so full but as well empty.

I did manage to make Polish aviation TT with 33 uniqe and original aircraft and 51 copy pasted aircraft

which yes doesn’t look very promising but my ground TT (which I’ll post later on the forums as well on YT as a video discussing the whole problem and arguments for it and why adding it as a subtree will ruin the whole vibe and basicly throw it to trash whole potential.)


Yes I did made it in microsoft paint and the “originality” one looks like crap (beacasue I was too lazy to fill the gaps lmao) but the whole structure remains

Explanation of the colors:
green - original/very difrent from thier originalcounterpart
blue - modyfied by polish but not difrent from thier orignal counterpart
orange - uniqe vehicle, that doesn’t have there direct counterpart in game
red - copypaste

And criteria I tried to stick to while making it was:
1. Created as a demonstrator and preliminary prototype
(which was built from scratch)
2. Was a real project intended for production
3. Premium vehicles are special vehicles for Poles, have a deeper history or are a tree vehicle that works differently

I do apreciette your work and effort but if we want to show players that Poland has any potenial we can’t give them something that doesn’t existed.

Also its funny how in my verision there are 87 copy paste vehicles and 87 orignal and uniqe so yeah we have 50/50 TT (and much more uniqe than Chinas lol)

I’m sorry, but how exactly is your suggestion better?

All you did was butcher the tree by removing many domestic aircraft, a lot of them which were actually real, and added more copy paste.

It’s really small and not much better off than China.

The paper aircraft are almost exclusively premiums for a reason.

Ok lets break it down:
PWS-1bis - too slow, very weak armement - basicly PO-2
PWS-10 - difrent name same problems
PZL P.8/II - okay we’re getting somewhere its decant
LWS-3 Mewa - why 3 versions? like its not a big difrence between one or another
Żubrs - same again why so many of them more ≠ better/more orginal, also they’re kinda bad as a bombers that’s why is so low in my TT
image

and what in the crap hepped here? some random Lithuanian Planes, another counterparts to PO-2 and one actuall plane that is not a project (like PZL P.3) the Kobuz
PWS-33 (I/II) - why? you really want people to suffer don’t you? 1x 7.9mm Vickers MG and 2x 12.5kg bombs? why?
PWS-19 - why again…I mean it can take a bit of bombs yeah…but its again PO-2 like style of plane
Lublin R-XX - okay? 1000kg of payload, seaplane…that was only a prototype but okay iteresting choice
CANT Z.506B - its italian
PZL’s P.24 - a good 1.7-2.3 planes not great not terrible
image
didn’t exist project only
image
didn’t exist only scteches and predicted data
image
okay?
image
was used by those coutnries, good planes
image
the prototype wasn’t finished
image
my dude will be taking Strela-2M on 4.0 💀
PZL P.45 Sokół - another plane that wasn’t finished
image
solid strike aircrafts but why two of them? two prototypes of the same plane
image
Jastrząb A and B didn’t existed only finished one’s was I and II


that’s Jastrząb II we don’t know what the diameter of the wings was only sketches
image
I don’t even know what heppened here
1st of all why seven?
2nd of all where did you even find something like PZL P.37/III Łoś and Łoś Bis?
3rd of all more better/more orginal they’re not like day/nigh difrent from each other they share the same armament of max 2600Kg payload, its not HE 111 planes with difrent bombs
image
didn’t exist
image
like 3/4 of planes you putted here would be cool and dandy if they’re were at least finished and not 7 times same plane nothing changed inside at least
image
didn’t exist
image
guess what it didn’t exist
image
IŁ-2 and IŁ-10 (that was produced in Czechia) okay cool
image
I know that some pilots in korean war was polish by US side…or have polish roots, but we don’t need 3 of them, if it was a case than half of the Isreali TT should be filled with Polish planes and pilots when most of the jews that lived there after the war was polish
image
image
sigh very wholsome but still if we consider all of the pilots that had polish roots than we should have more than that, and again more better/more orginal
image
wasn’t realised fully or should I say It didn’t exist
TS-11R Iskra - its not like a weather radar could do something in this game, also
image
why there are so many of them bro 😭
they’re copereble to Yak-17 or Me262 with there speed and AoA
image
again why difrent version of same aircraft…at least the
image
nop its premium

The M-91 was the firts one of them all and ok that’s good
M-93M was a M-91 that could carry more bombs not something that GJ cares about
M-96 had difrent wings so the only difrence is slight diffrent AoA and flight perforemce than the previous ones and M-93K was the only one to have stronger engines
image
very cool plane, unfortunately it was a wooden mocup and the protoype was scrapped due to KGB interference
image
just SU-22UM3K no need to add names to it
image
I’m not mad at this beacasue your tt is kinda old and we didn’t knew we will have FA-50

in conclusion, more better/more orginal beacasue putting same plane that had a little difrence than the previous one will not convice GJ to add it, they had a little difrence that didn’t really impacted its flight performence, and adding planes that flew in stall speed 209-280km/h was not a good idea, if they only had better armament than 2 vickers MG I woulnd’t had a problem with that, same to the rest there are some good choices and interesting ones but once more - more better/more orginal
beacasue the mindset behind all of the TT I saw was the same "add more it will look better’ not it will not? it would look like a WoT or WoWP type of a tech tree, where you don’t need all of this, all is needed is planes that existed, they were flown and tested and we know more than just predicted data
well maybe I’m wrong, maybe gajin will pass this and the planes you suggested won’t be a problem but imo more better/more orginal

The paper planes are premiums, obviously, and it doesn’t affect the tree in any way. I added them there for the sake of it and they don’t necessarily have to be considered, and you should know better, but I think you made that argument to make it look like you have a strong standpoint by having a longer comment.

The Orlik doesn’t get Strelas.

There’s nothing against having Lithuanian and Latvian planes as premiums; countries with strong historical ties to Poland.

Neither is there anything wrong with having the PWS planes because most reserve matches happen on small maps at those speeds.

But what flabbergasted me the most is how you’re mostly annoyed at having multiple variants of the same planes. Do you not understand how tech trees work? We have 14 non-premium Bf 109s in the German tech tree as just one example, and plenty of premium planes with pilot names in them. Are you new to the game or were you simply try too hard to discredit this suggestion by making it seem like you made a strong case for yourself with a long comment? For what reason exactly? Did you want to make this first and it annoyed you when you found out somebody already beat you to it? It just cannot be that you’re honestly disturbed at seeing more than 1 PZL.37, for example.

Is your butchered Polish tech tree idea of 90% copy paste better then? What originality does your version add?

Tech trees are meant to be fleshed out enough, otherwise they would be considered sub trees. No one would play Poland if Gaijin considered your proposal.

The paper planes are premiums, obviously, and it doesn’t affect the tree in any way.

so what’s the real point in adding them?

but I think you made that argument to make it look like you have a strong standpoint by having a longer comment.

if I did kept it short there wouldn’t be any good context to it, and its hard to prove something so long in very short statement

The Orlik doesn’t get Strelas.

I mean all 5 sources I know about that aircraft and the MANPDAS luncher says:
image
image

image
and no the last picture is not PZL 130 its PZL 104 Wilga with Strela-2 (Strzała-2) to prove that we did put MANPADS on our prop planes
only thing I lack is a pciture of Orlik with one but the only source that doesn’t state the fact that orlik had one is Wiki

There’s nothing against having Lithuanian and Latvian planes as premiums; countries with strong historical ties to Poland.

I mean if we look from this perspective we have strong historical ties with germany, russia, uk and france, I just don’t understand what those planes in general have to do with us, when none of them taken part in any conflict poland fighted (besides WWII) and all of them had little to do with Polish Military Industry.

Neither is there anything wrong with having the PWS planes because most reserve matches happen on small maps at those speeds.

okay but they need to reach that speed when yes top speed is 209-253km/h but the cruising speed is 150-180km/h when all of the planes have cruise speed at min. of 300km/h (with exception of HE-51 that flies at 280) to prove my point
image
BF2C-1 cruise speed on stock is 363km/h at 500m <>
image
P-26A-34 cruise speed on stock is 348km/h at 500m <>
image
He-51 cruise speed on stock is 285-295km/h at 500m <>
image
I-15 M-25M crsuise speed on stock is 333km/h at 500m <>

and so on (I’m not puting all other reserve planes to prove my point 💀💀💀)

But what flabbergasted me the most is how you’re mostly annoyed at having multiple variants of the same planes. Do you not understand how tech trees work? We have 14 non-premium Bf 109s in the German tech tree as just one example

but BF109 was consitantly modified and upgraded through the war when PZL 37 Łoś had only two version and only difrence was the stabilazer with version I with only one and version II with two stablizers but in the production we only used A and B the A had less powerfull engines and B with better ones, and I wouldn’t mind all of those planes if they weren’t so similar, I mean A and B cool, but in a folder since the difrence is a engine that’s all and the payload is the same 2,6k Kg

also
image
adding P to (almost) every PZL plane is anachornical since P was putted on planes that was constructed by Zygmund Puławski and he died in 1931, and yes PZL P.24 has P in it but its beacause it was further modification of P.11

and plenty of premium planes with pilot names in them

I don’t have anything to it its just, strange to put a random Sabre in the middle of the Mig-15 tech tree when the guy who flown the F-86 was polish by his roots, same to Thunderchief, its just half lazy beautification to convince people to your TT

Are you new to the game or were you simply try too hard to discredit this suggestion by making it seem like you made a strong case for yourself with a long comment?

I’m not new to the game if I was I wouldn’t be here in the first place you seem to be annoyed by the fact that somebody discreddited you with more knowledge and arguments, and long comment? what are you like 15? should I put Subwaysurffers on the edge of your screen to keep your attetion? that’s what disagreements looks like - strong points, long coversation, there’s no “Nuh Uh” in here if you want to argue and talk like a man stop hiding behind “Long comment good argument”, go cry about it on reddit or something, you haven’t met someone like me in a long time, maybe even ever that’s why you try to discredit me beacasue my tree “is butchered beacasue 90% of it is copy paste” its not 90% its 64%, its better then putting every signgle plane that has polish checherboard even if this plane didn’t had a test flight - just put it here, they’ll be happy about it.

If I put my TT next to yours it looks poorer than yours that’s a fact but, does this mean it will be not fun to fly? (not griding, grind will be mid pain 5/10) its better than having 7 Łosies in one line that play exacly the same, beacause its not a big difrence when all of them had same payload and body, only engine difrence, so its a copy paste of the same plane, it wouldn’t be a copy paste at least rude one if they were difrent from each other from at least payload. its not BF 109 its a inter war era frontal bomber plane with two difrent production models two protptypes, and all of them share the same - payload and armament, and the engines? yeah cool you won’t overheat in 2min after WEPing too much, with Łoś/II and Łoś B. The true point of this long ass statment is if you put 7, 5, 4 planes in one line (without at least foldering most of them) that had a little difrence between them you just made a copy paste plane, or a stop gap to show that your TT is better beacasue the more the better, imagine this:

you want to play brand new SU-24 as a newbie, you load up the game and you see, every single SB-2, AR-2, Pe-2 (early), Yer-2, Pe-2 (late), Yer-2 (late), Tu-2’s and Mig-27 in one constant line, would you be happy? that from 14 planes to grind up you need all 25 to get to the SU-24, would you be happy about it? and I know these are only 7 planes out of 16, but still 7 almost indentical planes that play the same, pure pain…I mean no pain, no gain lmao, but it would be very boring.

What originality does your version add?

none? but at least all of the planes I added was in production…

Tech trees are meant to be fleshed out enough, otherwise they would be considered sub trees.

…so to which tech tree poland should be as a sub nation? USSR? Germany? maybe UK?
They approved Israeli TT wdum? most lazy and fake TT that is specificly made (in air tab) from 25 copy paste planes and 4 fairly orginal, so I don’t see the problem here,
also its not like the polish community will let gaijin add poland as a sub tree without a backlash.
