Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Well Sweden is a tech tree with 3 aircraft per rank so I guess it’s enough

(In the early days)

Not sure if we should put the bar that low

Don’t expect a TT like the USA or USSR…

Compared to Israel, Poland can offer something more than Kfir and Merkava. And again, you can receive vehicles from Eastern Europe that no one would want to see either in the USSR or elsewhere.

+also

These actually cool and unique modernizations can be added to other nations as fillers or as event vehicles.

Sometimes you have to suffer))

At top tier for Poland you can choose from like 4 nations

Abrams, Leopards, T-72, K2PL and their home grown tanks

That’s not a good argument for a Poland tech tree, just sayin

Aircraft simulation means nothing when the gamemode simulation is poor. I think this is the bigger issue. SB has immense potential to blow DCS out of the water by being both immersive and user friendly. But its been so badly neglected that its a joke to even compare them.

So many features are not modeled yet, so many things have bene missed. Even basic things like UI configuration is extremely lack luster in WT and in SB, most of the cockpit HUDs are an after thought.

CCRP for example semi-works if you hack it by taking a mix of Guided and unguided weapons. But take Guided only, no CCRP interface at all.

WT has great potential but they seem to focus only on the third-person arcade aspect to the game. Which is no good for those who play the immersive cockpit only gamemodes like SB

Still, Israel makes their own tanks while Ukraine uses post soviet tanks as a base for their MBTs. Same with IFV/APC/LTs.

I know but it does make a heck of a good line up though.

But I think they will pick the K2PL and the Twardy tank

Definitely Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Poland, Yugoslavia.
Arguably Benelux, Spain, the Koreas and Turkey.

Not a tank geek myself, but I’d take the Twardy tank just for the name

Switzerland is not even close to good tech tree material

Plus Smin said the Hunter was a one off

Id still not entirely discount something from the south Americas. It is an area of the world not well represented outside of 1 or 2 vehicles in other trees. Not likely but prehaps worthy of the list

I take it you have not explored their air tree (which is alright, has some stuff) and ground tree (which is absolutely excellent)

Yeah, but that would involve more than just a handful of nations to make into a functioning tree, so it’s a bit iffy.
Still, you are right.

Behavior, or in this case, the relationship of pilot behavior & war game behavior, is always realistic.
Why? Cause doctrine isn’t the same around the world, and is changed simply by a commanding officer disagreeing with the doctrine they’ve been taught.

That’s what I love about War Thunder. It’s realistic, peak realism, but no milsim is to be seen.
I’m extremely anti-milsim because they’re doctrine junkies instead of allowing unique thoughts & strategy.

And most video game players hate doctrine junky mentality.

Did switzerland build their own warplanes at any point?

Yea for some it’s full of cheesy aircraft :)
