I think my biggest issue with ASEAN as a subtree is that it is just too undefined.

There is a pretty significant split in nations, where there is the founding members with their mostly western equipment, but also nations like Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam that joined later and mostly operate redfor equipment.
Yet Gaijin (as it was leaked) seems to be moving them all together, which I believe shouldn’t be done outside of a standalone ASEAN tree.

I personally think there is 2* distinct parts to ASEAN that Gaijin can split when doing subtrees.

  • Founding nations of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines Singapore, Thailand. These have mostly western equipment and could form a coherent subtree for Japan
  • Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar with mainly eastern equipment and closer ties to China. These could be part of a larger subtree for China alongside Bangladesh, Pakistan and maybe North Korea
    *Excluded Brunei since I just lack info. Excluded Vietnam since they don’t really fit either group, being an eastern equipped nation with poor relation to China.

Gaijin seems to have been too hung up on a combined ASEAN to see this separation, which might be their reason to consider changes to their plans. If their goal is to keep ASEAN combined, it should be an independent tree.
That doesn’t mean they still do this though, the leak is fairly old by now and I’m sure they figured this out already since then. For Gaijin this leak was a great way to gather feedback without taking direct responsibility, it wouldn’t surprise me if it might have even been intentional.
