Indian Mig29 to UK tree and Rafale

If only indigenous stuff, sure. If not, no, and why should India even be added to the game?

I agree with you on this. Add indigenous vehicles as well as versions of vehicles with unique weapon combinations(Su30MKI with Astra[which is basically a better R77] and ASRAAMs for example). No one wants more copy-pastes.

And as for why India should be added; its one of the largest and most capable air-forces in the world right now. It was ranked third after the USAF and USN in terms of capability by WDMMA. It has over 700 fighter jets, with most having received indigenous upgrade packs and integrated with weapon systems.

If it were upto me, India would be clubbed with some other commonwealth nations and made into a separate tech tree. But because Gaijin said hey fuck you, you are in the Brit TT now, we all have to make do with that.

WDMMA states in the 2024 report y’all are the 6th strongest… Behind all the US branch and Russia.

Also, no, India should not get a separate tree, it would be a China like nation but worse since there were very few domestic vehicles to start the early ranks with until like Tier V, especially for Tanks. I’m tired of the Copy Paste- I hardly need more with India.

At best, as seen with events and stuff, slightly modified vehicles without a mainstay nation go the nation the tank originally hails from. So India to either Russia or GB, preferably split amongst the two depending on whether the chassis of origin is British or Russian.

Edit: show me a tree for India that uses exclusively indigenous vehicles, and then maybe. But that means no T-90s, T-72s, Centurions, etc. No Sukhois, no MiGs. If you show me one with enough actual content to be added, then sure, I’ll support it.

Okay my bad
I was reading from the google cliff-notes. I stand corrected.

Hey look, I am not asking for a completely new tech tree nation, just a sub-tree along with other commonwealth nations like Canada, Australia, NZ and Singapore. I don’t want India to be split between UK and Russia. I want it to be a part of a new tech tree. I think everyone here would like that.

they could do like israel

Past a certain rank in either UK, Russia or France, you can access the indian tree

would avoid a lot of “sub tree” discussion imo

Problem is, that there arent a lot of unique Indian modified/indigenous platforms until like 11.0(for air atleast)
There would HF24 at like 8.3-8.7, Ajeet at 7.7 or something and then BAM, straight to a 4th gen fighter.
There would essentially only be Rank 7 aircraft to add to start with(if you are only looking at unique aircraft/modifications)

I personally think the new Commonwealth tech tree is stupid. And I’m not saying that just to disagree- I’m saying that because I genuinely think that.

Why should I bother to play any other nation, when in the end, the Commonwealth tech tree just gets what they have but better? Why should I play the US for the M1 Abrams and Russia for the T-90 when an Aussie Abrams and Indian T-90 will be in the same tree? Why should I play Germany for the Leos? A Commonwealth tech tree isn’t just copy paste from one nation: it’s a copy paste of all of the best vehicles from every nation put to one. That’s stupid, and not something that promoted interesting (or more importantly) healthy gameplay.

So no, I do not want a Commonwealth tech tree. Because I know that in the end it’s just going to ruin the point of playing any other tech tree in the game.

I guess the Zeros, Ki 43, 44, 61, 84, 100, J2M series, N1K series, R2Y2s, Kikka, etc are US planes huh?
Heck even in jets, the T2-K and F-1 are japanese jets. Also the US planes, Japan gets access to are literally modified like the F4EJ Kai and F-16AJ.

The majority of Germany’s jets are not copy and past, The Cl-13s are different from the F-86 sabres the US has, the Lim 5p is different from mig 17, Mig 19S is different from the USSR mig 19, Mig 21 MF is different, F4F early and late are different, etc.

Britain does not need a Mig 29, if you want to play a Mig 29 play the USSR. The T-90 being added to the British tech tree was a mistake and in all honesty it should be removed and replaced with something else.

Thats fair i guess. Well then I think it should just be a british subtree. I don’t think any other country had its equipment split between different nations(except israel but then they also got their own tech tree so thats fine) and I would hate to not have a proper lineup for my Indian vehicles, not to mention that grinding two different nations just to play a few vehicles is not fun at all.

UK have lot of planes can fit more in TT it doesn’t need Russian or France planes to make up for it

We can only fly one plane at a time so having both top jets isnt an issue.

More the merrier IMO

More UK planes, not Ru or French planes in the UK tree

Almost no one wants that. Russian, and French players wouldn’t be happy if their premier aircraft are copy and pasted into another tree, and British mains would rather see British planes be added, rather than getting Russian/French copy/paste.

No, I simply don’t want to see my beloved SU-30SM in the Indian and British line, at most in China, and in the future premium or event of some nation.

India’s just gotta be their own tree. Remove the Bison and others from Britian.

Britain doesn’t need the Rafale/Mig-29/Su-30 because it already has the Eurofighter

I personally think it should not get it because sub tree copy paste vehicles just delude the tech trees and in this case would make grinding France/USSR redundant because there would be nothing special in the French/Russian tech tree.

Look at it like this:
Why would anyone want to grind France/USSR to just get the Rafale/Mig-29/Su-30, if you could as well grind Britain to get them all the Rafale, Mig-29, Su-30 and the Eurofighter.

Germany got cucked with leo 2 being whored out to every nation under the sun, and while they werent happy nothing serious ever happened and most dont care anymore. UK at this point is turning into a frankenstein greatest hits tree so why not go all the way.

I can speak as a GB main.

Most english jets have been added to other trees but as better versions. While being very overtiered at the same time.
Hunters
Meteors
Etc etc

The jets we inherit from others are never the best version… phantoms, gripen etc etc.

Outside of the F3 and the typhoon(im.reaching even with the F3) the tree has very little that even competes…

At this point GB has nothing unique to make anyone want to grind it…

The Swiss Hunter going to Germany while the Canadian Leo also going to Germany is just hypocrisy.

The Aussie Abrams going to America while the Pig going to Britain also is hypocrisy.

And then there’s the Skink/Ram debacle.

Consistent inconsistency.
