Italian Bell P-39Q Airacobra

Sure… then point me to the Italian rank V jet bomber… or maybe the high rank IV Italian bomber… or maybe the rank VII strike aircraft that isn’t the AMX, or maybe the plethora of rank VII+ 10.0+ aircraft that Italy doesn’t seem to have. Or the dozens of not yet added WW2 Italian tank designs, which also don’t seem to exist because Gaijin filled it out with German/British/American copy-pastes and “Pizza trucks” (as the community likes to call the unarmoured gun trucks). Then I also have to ask, if Italy has enough to cover every empty gap in the TT, then why after so many years have Gaijin not filled those gaps and looked for alternative solutions instead, almost as if they don’t have the right vehicles to fill those gaps (e.g. look at the controversial Leopard 40/70 at a super low BR that was needed to fill out Italian mid tier AA, yet didn’t fit in well).

Firstly, only the air subtree is purely copy-paste (so far, it is still incomplete). Secondly, how tf does that mean that I shouldn’t suggest indigenous Hungarian vehicles???

Not my fault that better photos didn’t survive the war. But you were wrong to say that not a single original photo of it existed. Also we know perfectly well how it looked, considering 3D models for it have already been made.

No it doesn’t, I never said “all” or “most” or anything like that.

Planes: 13/62 copy-pastes; 20.97% (21%)
Tanks: 14/61 copy-pastes; 22.95% (23%)

Not exactly relevant, and there are barely any anyways.

Well duh, there aren’t really copy-pastes in naval in general.

More like 22%, which is nearly a quarter of the whole Italian tree… that is quite a lot… compare this to the Japanese air tree which has 7/86 copy-pastes (8%) and for ground 8/56 (14%), so an average of around 10%, which is less than half the copy-paste of Italy. The UK has 4/67 (6%) copy-pastes for ground and 2/98 (2%) copy-pastes for air, with an average of about 4%. Italy’s 22% is a lot compared to this. I think only China and Israel have a higher proportion of copy-pastes… and they have a reputation for being copy-paste trees.

It is. What is so useful about it that the dozens of rank II-III prop fighters can’t do?

Not gonna lie, but tons of people from several countries spam the suggestions thinking that quantity is better than quality, but that’s not going to make Gaijin suddenly notice anything and start working on indigenous Italian designs, so this isn’t some master strategy.

Well the vast majority of the community disagrees with you.

Ok, what are we supposed to do about the fact you hate Hungarian vehicles and you don’t think they are “worth adding”, even though there are 10-11 indigenous Hungarian vehicles you still don’t want half of these? Or any of the useful copy-pastes, yet you want every single Italian operated vehicle, even useless copy-pastes???

Then I can’t believe you would say you don’t want indigenous Hungarian aircraft, but you would want Romanian aircraft instead, one more non-Italian nation with a similar amount of indigenous and copy-paste vehicles as Hungary! Imo, only 4-5 Romanian aircraft are worth adding, so that would be a stupid addition!

And did you genuinely just suggest that Romania would eventually get a standalone TT, in the same comment that you think Hungary shouldn’t have even been a subtree!? You are crazy, you do realise Romania could never be a standalone TT and even as a subtree, they lost out to Hungary!

Well obviously, nobody likes being given 10% of the original indigenous vehicles that a country could get, and then being flooded with copy-paste fillers.

Yep, you are crazy. Finland’s copy-paste subtree is fine, Romania can apparently become an independent TT lol, Italy should get every copy-paste they ever had, but Hungary, with arguably more indigenous vehicles than both Finland and Romania shouldn’t even get a subtree. Wow, try convincing me you have nothing against Hungarian vehicles.

If they have enough vehicles for a ground subtree, then they should get a subtree. How comes you aren’t saying South Africa shouldn’t be a subtree?

Since when was an air subtree about the jets? Also, you think the Finnish air subtree is fine? Hungary has more indigenous aircraft than the Finnish air subtree. Oh, and at that rate, Romania wouldn’t have enough ground vehicles for a subtree (yet alone a standalone TT), so by your logic Romania shouldn’t be a subtree either because it doesn’t have the perfect amount of both indigenous ground and air vehicles.

And finally, Hungary does have a few domestic cold war ground vehicle designs, so please only talk about a subject if you know what you’re on about. Never have I read such a load of rubbish.

Putting words in my Mouth

The region surrounding Romania could be its own tech tree with the vehicles it has

Also never said this, not even part of this conversation

South Africa actually has a full sub tree for ground, there was no reason for a hungarian sub tree, Italy didn’t need a subtree thay consists of low effort soviet planes.

Just because something has a ground subtree does not induce the need for an air subtree, Italy and Britain could’ve gone without one

Does it now? The vast majority equals nothing if it is slient

I will agree with this. This plane doesn’t bring anything interesting to the Italian tree. I would much rather prefer the Fiat G.55 based trainers.

Nah it’s not really about spamming so that maybe Gaijin will notice Italy, i wrote it down pretty badly, i mean that if there are a lot of high quality suggestions, Gaijin will not only understand that people care about getting something nice for Italy, but it will also have a huge pool to choose from.

Yeah, you’re right… I write way too much, but points take a lot of explanation and support to be useful, but I guess I could just leave it at “No, I disagree.”.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense, but I’m sure Gaijin can quickly find the copy-paste vehicles that Italy operated without needing to search on the forums. I think more obscure vehicles deserve the effort of suggestions.

Also, I don’t think Gaijin doesn’t care about Italy, I think they are understaffed and overworked with too many things to do and add, so it takes them years to add considerable amounts to countries like Italy. I think they are really harsh to the Italian TT in terms of BRs. So many Italian vehicles are really overtiered, like the Re.2005 fighting freaking F-84s! Or the G.91Y and YS… but overall Italy does have a lot of nice things to enjoy.

Why are you trying to shift the topic of what I was replying to with a completely irrelevant poll?

I think the community doesn’t agree that tech trees should get every single vehicle they ever operated and you respond with a screenshot of the poll about this specific aircraft, rather than a poll on what we are talking about. Proper NPC behaviour.

Also, almost all suggestion polls have more yes votes than no votes. Usually the ratio is between 90-98% yes, so an 83% yes ratio (with only 58 voters) is not exactly a prime example of this vehicle having huge support. Bear in mind this is on the Italian aircraft suggestions section, if we asked the average WT player regardless of nation played, I think the ratio would be much lower.

Finally we agree i see 😅👍🏻 but i still think that suggesting something “copy paste” it’s not gonna harm as it will just be sent on the suggestion page along side all the others. It’s just that at least it’s there.

Its finally settled

I think the fear that Gaijin will forget about Italian stuff is less of a fear of that and more of a fear that Gaijin will end up adding a Hungarian vehicle over say an Italian vehicle that would fit in at the same BR

Considering the Hungarian stuff are nicely “segregated” into their own lines with a few things like bombers, strikers and SPAAGs being mixed into the Italian lines, I think this ‘fear’ is unfounded. I mean the Hungarian bombers were not taking the place of anything it seems because from what I’ve seen the Italian bomber line didn’t seem to have much potential past rank III, and the strikers didn’t take the place of anything either. I’ve looked at all of the possible Hungarian strikers, bombers, and SPAAGs, and none of the ones that Gaijin are likely to add are competing with Italian designs for any limited spaces. Trust me, Gaijin would never waste their time doing any research into a Hungarian vehicle with little surviving information on it, when they could much easier just model a well-documented Italian vehicle. I don’t think this should be seen as Italian vehicle vs Hungarian vehicle competing for just one single space, when often both can be added and moved around at will.

I think the fear is unfounded as well, based on what I’ve been able to see there are very few areas that anything could conflict

Which ones? I showed you the 10-11 indigenous Hungarian aircraft, and you proceeded to say 4-5 are even worth adding, that means you don’t want half of them. You made it clear that you despise all Hungarian Soviet copy-pastes, even the ones that serve a useful purpose. And you clearly want every single Italian operated vehicle (including useless copy-pastes), just look at what you wrote below, remember?

So yeah, not sure what words I’m “putting into your mouth”.

Ok, and now you just shift your argument from “Romania can be a standalone TT” to “never mind, I meant the region around Romania could be a standalone TT”…

Like, what does that even mean? Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia as a standalone TT? Or maybe you mean Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria? Or that, but excluding Hungary?

But if you truly meant Romania should be a standalone TT while Hungary “doesn’t deserve to even be a subtree”, then that’s just crazy, considering they have about the same amount of vehicles to offer.

You may not have mentioned Finland, but if you think Hungary must be removed, then you sure are implying Finland and South Africa should also be removed with that logic!

So does Hungary… like keep up. And if you’re going to say “it isn’t indigenous enough”, then I will say Hungary could have 15-20 indigenous ground vehicles, not my fault Gaijin only put effort into modelling South African ground vehicles.

Said no one, ever. Literally for years people have been asking for a subtree for Italy, and Hungary became the prevailing candidate for that project, and while the subtree was implemented relatively poorly, most people are still somewhat happy with it for at least bolstering lineups and providing Italy with a fresh new player-base and a few unique vehicles.

You are literally equating the top half of only the air subtree with the entire Hungarian subtree as a whole, which isn’t even fully finished btw, saying therefore it sucks. That’s like me saying “top tier Italian jets are all American copy-paste, so let’s remove the entire Italian TT”!

First you say the whole Hungarian subtree shouldn’t have been added, then you say “well a ground subtree is fine, but I don’t want the air subtree”. Make up your mind. Also, there was a need for the Hungarian air subtree, that being filling out the bomber and striker lines for ground RB, and giving Italy more high tier jets, both of which Hungary did, and it didn’t seem that Italian alternatives had been found. Oh, and Britain has so much more aircraft than Italy, and they have a 5th line, so they obviously didn’t need an air subtree, whereas Italy air was very sparse and did need a subtree.

Say just out of curiosity, does anyone have a list of serial numbers of the P-39s Italy ended up getting?

Nope, sorry, if you wanna go to Rome in "Via della Dogana Vecchia 29 " maybe you’ll find something in those archives, but i don’t think that’s very likely, right?
