Hello everyone. I’d like to present a propostal for a new tech tree for War Thunder: The Latin American Ground Forces Tree (or just LATAM tree for short).
This project was made by a team of players from Latin American countries (myself included), as well as Latin American tank enthusiasts from around the world, and it provides a wide variety of interesting vehicles. It focuses on domestic designs (such as the Osório, Tamoyo and TAM), unique modernizations of foreign vehicles (such as the Tifón-2A, Firefly Repotenciado and AMX-30VE) and foreign vehicles made to a Latin American country’s specifications (such as the LTP and the PT-91P), with only a few “copy-paste” (already in the game) vehicles to fill in small gaps or to form strong lineups.
Latin America is often forgotten when it comes to the topic of ground vehicles, and the current state of War Thunder is also a reflex of that, featuring only the TAM series. This proposal also seeks to raise awareness of the community to the diverse nature of the vehicles of this tree, which would undoubtedly benefit the game a lot.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the complete tree:
Please be aware that the position of the vehicles within the tree, as well as the ranks and battle ratings are merely a suggestion made by us, to get a good sense about the tree.
The Ground Tree is made out of 14 Latin American Countries. Argentina, Brazil and Chile make up more than half of it, with the other countries complementing it.
Graph
A Brazilian Ground Tree would be incomplete, and so would an Argentinian or Chilean Ground Tree. All countries in this coalition tree complement each other almost seamlessly, something that is also noticeable on the other LATAM trees that are currently in the works (helicopter, airplane, bluewater fleet and coastal fleet LATAM trees coming soon!)
Check the spoiler below for a brief detail on each vehicle present in the tree. More specific information on the vehicles will be shared in this thread as the project progresses.

├ VBB-1
Viatura Blindada Brasileira 1
The VBB-1 was the pioneer in Brazilian armored car development. The M8 Greyhound was seen as a good starting point thanks to its reputation in the Brazilian Army, but the VBB-1 was designed to be simpler. Since it’s a 4x4 vehicle, that means it is lighter and faster than the 6x6 vehicles that would come after it.

The Nahuel is a remarkable achievement by the Argentinian industry during the early 1940s. Being the first tank both developed and serially produced by a Latin American country, it featured thick armor of 80mm at 55 degrees at the front, and great mobility thanks to its W12 engine outputting 493hp. Its only handicap was the 75mm L/30 Krupp cannon it uses, which is only able to penetrate approximately 57mm of armor.

M4A1E9 Sherman
Until the arrival of the M-50s and M-51s from Israel decades later, the M4A1E9 was exclusively the only variant of the Sherman to be used by Chile, aside from the armored recovery vehicle version. It’s distinct from a regular M4A1 thanks to its spaced suspension, which was made so that track grouser extenders could be fitted to both sides of the tracks (this could be implemented as a module just like Winterketten or Ostketten). It’s technically not a “copy-paste” as this specific variant is not in game yet.
