What no more PTSD causing RWR, count me in !

Its the French tree. People play it to play French tanks. Why would they want a German tank?

citation needed followed by assuming everyone plays with your personal motivations.
Being able to have mixed lineups is awesome, I love having more options. You’re free to play only the domestic French vehicles if the others don’t interest you.

Might aswell get ride of TT in general then. Just have a mashup of all nation mix and match.
That would be the ideal, though of course not at all a viable change to the game at this point (would utterly break progression/premiums/etc).
Ideal? That’s the worst case scenario.

They want WoT in WT.
You get any combo of options you want for your lineups, that’s very much the best case scenario. You want to make a full lineup of only domestic French tanks? Go ahead! Want a French, Chinese, and Swedish tank? You can do that too!
More choice is better.

Which is one of the many reasons for separate nations being better. You get the freedom to choose any of the nations rather than being forced to play an illogical melting pot.
Nope, I have zero interest in HP bars, weird accuracy circles, or any of that other non-technical-realism silliness.
WT’s core strength is being a sandbox of technically-authentic vehicles to play around with. WoT is very much not that.

Actually its closer to citation needed that anyone agrees with you You’re one of the only people I’ve encountered who isn’t at least somewhat displeased by this. (Note that I’m saying people disagree with you, not that people aren’t playing them (although I rarely see dutch tanks anyway so maybe both are true?))
National trees exist for a reason. There’s an obvious preference in the playerbase for playing nations and not just clusters of vehicles. Evident that even Gaijin still agrees somewhat since they still limit vehicles based on nation, despite their arbitrary rules for tree-less nations.
What does confuse me though, is that Gaijin is very clearly anti-consumer. Subtrees mean fewer people are going to end up playing other nations. Like, why would someone play Germany when they can play France or Italy and get Leopards there? Or for me, why would I play Russian air when Japan could get an Su-30MKM?

Actual in-match gameplay is about lineups, not trees. Having more options for your lineup is more freedom of choice, fewer options for your lineup is less freedom of choice.
Even if you prefer trees to be segregated, it’s objectively less freedom of choice to wall things off from being used together.
Yeah nah, mate.
All you are advocating is META builds. Not line up uniqueness which is achieved by different nations having different vehicles for different strengths.

Ironically, these sort of go together. Trees exist to split up research and also split up premium vehicle purchases. Devs add a new tech tree? You’ll have to purchase brand new premiums for every vehicle branch of that nation, oh and also start the utterly horrendous crew skills grind from scratch too.
As I said, this angle is actually the main reason not having trees wouldn’t be a viable change, it would break the game’s monetization/etc.
As already said just a few posts ago, to play all the other vehicles in the tree.

Wouldn’t the grind through some atrocious blob of vehicles be genuinely hellish though ? National trees actually make sense, I agree the whole crew skill grind is awful, but from progression standpoint it’s less vehicles to get what you want
And the capstone of a tree or vehicles that would otherwise be unique shouldn’t be express delivered to multiple other trees, say what you want but it does ruin the uniqueness of a tree
Whatever, you’ve already made up your mind and clearly have no intention of ever changing it.
Anyway, something more productive. Does anyone know if the F-4EJ Kai was tested with AAM-4 or AIM-120? Possibly by the ADTW?
EJ Kai with AAM-3 and AAM-4/AIM-120 could be a pretty mean 12.7/13.0 tree/sqv/premium vehicle.
