Latin American Ground Forces Tree

Yes. Take a look: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1aeln39/1000_votes_in_less_than_48_hours_what_do_you/?sort=new

It was the top 1 post on the WT reddit back then. Lots of exposure came from it.

You are talking to the one user that insists that South Korea should be a subtree of Japan despite the fact that not only that everybody else completely rubbished it and every “argument” for it but also Gaijin themselves explicitly stated that both Koreas will be their separate TT some time in the future in a dev Q&A. While simultaneously rubbishing other TT & subtree proposals (even popular ones) with terrible arguments. Even if he points out a legitimate issue with the game or with the current state of TT’s, he’s largely doing it for the wrong reasons.

I would not take him too seriously because of that

I almost forgor :skull:

Here it is:

I’ll later make a list of all changes, but to summarize:

  • Added Leopard 2A4CHL (Proaco) as one of LATAM’s top tier tanks. This “Proaco” name is a reference to the undergoing modernization that Chile is doing to their Leo 2A4CHL tanks. So far it received new and modern optronics, but with Peru working towards the acquisition of a new MBT, it is likely that it’ll also receive upgrades in armor. It should also be given the DM53/DM63 as its top shell (which Chile is rumoured to use).
  • Added the K2PE Black Panther (or maybe we should start calling it “Pantera Negra” soon…) as the other top tier option. With all the news throughout 2025 about Peru looking to acquire the K2, I think it’s safe to assume they really are gonna buy it this time. Some banners in SITDEF 2025 labelled it as being “K2PE” instead of just “K2”, but it’s unknown if there will be any Peruvian modifications to it.
  • Added NASAMS 2 and Buk-M2EK as LATAM’s top tier SPAA vehicles. The way things are going, we may have to add Venezuela’s S-300VM…
  • Added the CV90120-T as the top tier light tank for LATAM. Brazil has trialed it, and could very much use another 12.0 to go alongside the Centauro II BR.
  • Added the MBT-2000 as a premium tank for LATAM. It’s a very capable tank and well-suited to be LATAM’s “top premium” tank (a standard that is followed in pretty much every tree, with a premium tank at 11.7 or 12.0).
  • Added the T-90S as an event tank, strenghtening 10.7 and 11.0 lineups. Basically the same as the Bhishma TWMP.
  • Lots of BR and tier rearrangements, especially making so that each line has a limit of 3 obligatory vehicles per rank (the excess being foldered).

Happy 2026!

Good question. Somehow I had figured it wouldn’t be much use since it doesn’t have a tracking radar (only a search radar on a separate vehicle), but now I realized that IR tracking optics exist. My mistake lol. I’ll add it.

Interesting… but I think that to be added to the game, it needs to be self-propelled. Unless Gaijin decides to add placeable static AA for the player.

PS: btw Brazil is also working towards the acquisition of the EMADS as well. So we’ll have a couple of good options for top tier SPAAs.

Well the Israelis and other operators have the radar and the launchers set on a truck, so they are mobile, not stationary. About the type of trucks colombia will use with this system no idea

In what BR do you think it would fit?

That depends a lot on how Gaijin would implement it.

If the Guarani (RBS-70) is added in the form of the launcher vehicle only (so no radar), it’d perform similarly to the Lvrbv 701 (or a bit better, since 3 missiles ready to fire instead of 1) which is 9.7.

If added in the form of a “fleet” (radar vehicle and two launcher vehicles) but only one launcher vehicle can engage a target at a time (and manually by the player), it’d perform similarly to the ASRAD-R which is 10.3. The radar would tell you where a target is and you’d perform the IRST tracking by yourself with one of the launcher vehicles and conduct the missile towards the target. The second launcher vehicle would stay idle, working more as a spare vehicle to use when the first one is reloading or is destroyed.

Those two options above would work with the mechanics already developed by Gaijin, but there’s a third option that would involve a slightly modified mechanic from the “fleet” form: The radar vehicle would point the targets to the launcher vehicles, and those would independently do their own IRST tracking without manual input by the player. As such, you’d also be able to engage up to two different targets at the same time, as long as their IRST tracking is kept. This would make it worthy of 10.7 or even 11.0 (you can’t go much higher than that because the missiles have limited range and IRST tracking only gets you so far).

PS: Gaijin can also do the same as they did with the Type 81 (C) Tan-SAM Kai and add the Guarani (RBS-70) in two forms and fill two BRs that way.

+1 we need this in wt

gaijin should already start working on this ASAP. they have both an air tree and a ground tree, both with very well picked premiums, a little bite of copypaste to avoid some extra work, and even then a lot of chassis are reused from other nations.
The only hard parts would making a flag to show next to other nations while on the hangar and of course modeling all different munitions, vehicles and making a new shade of green or brown to add to copypaste.
Also I feel like we need decals

It’s like the garford

Gaijin already solved this problem by letting the player choose the flag and country name to represent the tree the vehicle is in. This basically paves the way to coalition trees without the need to create a special flag for them.

What’s the general opinion on this thing?

The CBLR 20(I just made that up tbh, there’s no official designation as far as I know) or Carro Blindado Ligero de Reconomiento is a modified M8 from the Mexican army it features:
• new engine
• modified hull
• 20mm GIAT dual feed(? cannon
• coax consists of a 7.62 mg or a .50 cal mg according to some reports
• armor 3-19mm
• 4 crew
• don’t know about if it has a stabilizer

Maybe it could work like your average scout car like the Type 87 rcv

Depends if it has APDS rounds or other modern tecnology.

If not it may go to a very low rank, where you dont even have scout hability.

I left it out in favor of the DN-V Toro, which is a more unique option imo.

If you search a bit you quickly find a lot of vehicle options from Latin American countries that feature a 20mm autocannon or a 90mm low pressure cannon. Adding all of them would mean bloating the tree with what are basically sidegrades at best, so we have to focus on the more unique ones.

Now that EMADS has been officially selected by Brazil as its newest medium-range air defense system, it can already be added to the tech tree
