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.
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.
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.
If anything it should have been in UK tree
US never fielded it ,Canada did
So complaining for anything else going to other nations is mute point once you look at adats
F3 would be a really solid aircraft if they Fixed BOL. In fact with the exception of GR1 (which is technically missing BOL) you could dramatically buff and thus make most of our Rank VIII aircraft competitive by fixing BOL. A few others need a little more than just that, like the F3 Late needs Phimat too, but we’d have a really solid set of aircraft.
Want decent dogfighters? Gripen, Typhoon and Harrier Gr7
Want (what should be) decent SARH trucks, F3, F3 late and FA2
Want to base bomb? Tornado Gr1/GR4 (and I have been having an absolute blast at the moment in the GR4)
and thats without our missing stuff. Harrier Gr9A for example is going to be hilarious to use.
So. I dont necessarily agree, I think we actually have one of the more unique top tiers, just Gaijin is currently artificially nerfing it and we are missing several really really good additions that will be an absolute laugh to use
