At the moment both the F-104S TAF and Mangusta seems to confirm that to be the case, but like Texas_Engineer_Mike said, it isn’t definitive proof that all future Turkish vehicles would go to Italy.
As we know, there are many different rumors and ongoing projects for subtrees/minor nation implementation floating around at the moment (BeNeLux, Thailand, Switzerland, India) so I can’t see Turkey coming very soon anyways.
Which makes sense from a premium standpoint, just saying that it means we may not see those vehicles in a Turkish tree that the community has been asking for unless Gaijin unlists them as Italian premiums.
If they cant see the Benelux being a candidate for a full nation then yea I can’t see any other country other than Poland to be the next independent one. Even with that I can’t see this happening for at least 2 years from now
Gaijin is always trying to get as much profit from each 3D model as possible, so the possibility to C&P one in the future to another TT is a huge advantage for them.
Obviously this can be attributed to Gaijin’s unwillingness to create an entirely new tree out of Benelux, Israel as the most recent came out incredibly unfinished and half-baked, so I highly doubt they would be up to put in even more effort for a Benelux one.
Imo Terminator 2020 specifically will most likely go to Israel as it was modernized with strong help from Israel and the project itself was highly insipred by Kurnass 2000 program
Most unfortunately. I understand it from a business point of view but generally I think they could get higher profits if they invested in more interesting premiums and event vehicles while spending less time creating a new tree or subtree full of copies to sell said premiums.
Which in doing so will probably spawn unecessary hype from the community about the possibility of Turkey going to Israel. I’d rather they just tell everyone that Turkey will be spread out among various nations rather than staying vague about the possibility of a tree or subtree.
