im going to say this like I have said to everyone else the domestic light tank like for Britain would have been cool but would also have just been worse for the tree

Why? F-14 was used well into R-77 timeline for good reason.
Notching ARHs is easier than people seem to thing.
I mean, despite people constantly saying there’s more to a tree than top tier, the top tier of a tree really defines it. All of the japanese top tier being copy paste would be really boring imo. I’d rather have the tree stop below top tier and just play USA if I want to play an Abrams for example.
And why would that be?
Britain is one of the foremost producers of light vehicles in use around the world with a big variety of missions these vehicles are supposed to do.
Hell, it would likely be one of the most diverse light vehicles lines if anything while being able to follow the tree from rank I up to rank VIII.

That’s been passed already, that one’s just a catch-up.
You guys think it’ll be added as it was demonstrated or with the chance that it will come with what was specified for production?
How so? They play almost entirely the same
Passed to devs generally means nothing for the game and is just a fancy tradition unfortunately, but I hope that the ones present in this passed to devs do make it in game soon as they are all very cool options.
Usually, gaijin adds demonstrators in the configuration they actually had. See PSO, AZUR, …
diverse doesnt mean good, look at the rooikat mk1d and MTTD both of those are better then the Vickers mk11, and who said we would even get our more modern light tanks knowing gaijin it would have ended with the CVRT family which again would have left the UK in a worse spot then SA.
The SA sub tree is also by far the best sub tree in the game with only a single copy past tank being the eland 90 every other tank is domestically built by south africa
Being a different platform at all.
I’d argue that the Type 74 can be played much more aggressively than M48 though and requires more finesse with it’s suspension and whatnot.
A case of standard reliable vs one that is better for those who like using tricks.
The only diversity it provides is visual. Otherwise the M60s just play like slightly worse Type 74s.
And yeah, it is copy-paste, “oh b-but they upgraded their late model M60s!” So? It’s still an M60 with little changes and everything else is still directly taken from other trees.
Might as well just make the US and Russian armies stationed in Japan subtrees instead.
Ah well, the lack of LWS will definitely hurt it. The reason for what was specified for when it would have been produced was the addition of GALIX that was on the Vextra TML.
Sometimes passed to devs make it within the next patch or two, while some never make it in.
We’ll just have to see then on what they decide.

there have been cases of vehicles that made it in right as they were passed
Well diversity definitely isn’t a bad thing to have.
Whether a vehicle is good or not can’t really be assessed properly until it is added, so I wouldn’t say it would either be better or worse gameplay wise, we just don’t know. What I do know is that it’s a huge waste of a critical part of the British army.
Just as practically no part of ZA is copy paste the same could be said for the domestic British stuff.
In my personal opinion it’s also a waste if what could’ve made for a cool independent tree in South Africa, but that’s more my side of viewing things.

Well, the higher rank vehicles will consist of unique ones like BM oplot, Gripen, T-50, Stingray and more.
I especially hope that Nanchang J-12 and Vextra POLE make it as well as Vextra 105. Those vehicles I’ve been wishing for for quite a time.

I’d rather not see a tree go practically ignored and not growing over complaining about copy/paste that isn’t even a true copy.
Without a sub-tree I could only imagine Japan lasting another year at most, at that point they would have too little to really upkeep themselves.
