It’s a weird concept but I suppose it could work, it would be nice to get another country in there but like with Russia any country you can reasonably use will just be 90% C&P, which isn’t good for the main nation or subnation.
Like I said, Turkey could work but may be too big still for the US.
The other issue is that the nations with interesting additions tend to also have a lot of variety, something with a small military but unique vehicles, not something I can think of off the top of my head
i mean, what would better fit the US than its own MIC? all the issues you mentioned wouldnt really matter if they added a defence industry subtree
One of the biggest problems facing the entire subtree debate is the number of lines a single nation can have.
I think we only just found out about the “No more than 5 lines” rule last year but already it’s heavily limiting the game.
If Gaijin could rework the UI so that more lines could be visible at once on old monitors, I think quite a few subtree controversies would disappear.
more like rebranded soviet tech in this case but sure
As a south Korean, emotionally what I want SK for is own tree with NK.
But thinking of gameplay, it would be okay with sub tree of Israel with turkey. SK tree’s strong point is on it’s mbt and big gun light tank, while weak point is SPAAG.
Israel and turkey has good candidate of SPAAG, while Israel lacks good MBT on its top BR(just another Merkava Mk4 based one left)
While Israel and SK has some military bond. SK acquired and examined T-62 and T-72 from Israel as they send captured ones) and quite amount of indigenous developed SK weapons uses Israeli components.
What SK peoples do not want is being sub tree of USA. First, USA tree is already too big so SK being sub tree of USA would mean just some vehicle like current Benelux sub tree.
Second, US team sucks because so many new inexperienced players choose US as first tree.
5 lines is already limiting, it’s only going to be more so in future, also they need to do helicopter tree style split line for China’s first air branch, splitting it into ROCAF and PLAAF light fighters
That is vindicating to hear, I knew I wasn’t mad with South Korea to Israel
I mean, some nations could use more lines for domestic tech, but add a few more lines for more “1-line” sub-trees is flawed. As it still limits what could come.
Sub-trees need dedicated tabs. They should look like a full nation but could still be mixed with the host nation.
Ex. Our holy grail: Subtree Rework - Nation Folders
What if they made it so SK and NK had their own folders, SK linked to US, and NK linked to China/Russia, but if someone wanted to they could put SK and NK together for AB and RB, but for sim they have to either play it with the linked tree or just the individual NK/SK folders
No.
Read the nation folder suggestion, this doesn’t mean you can only play SK with US if using nation folders, my idea at least is that if someone wanted to they could have a united Korea lineup but if they wanted SK stuff in US lineup they could, same as how if someone wanted to add NK stuff to a Russian or Chinese lineup they could
I have. It still shouldn’t be tied to America.
He really wants it and everyone else really doesn’t, it’s quite funny
Then who? Also, my idea provides a way to play SK/NK independently to make most people happy
Independent.
I firmly believe the Hornet might be coming next update. I don’t have anything else to say.
As long as F-15E gets SLAM-ER (when game is ready for long range stuff like that) this would be fine
I’m fine with jumping straight to JASSM-ER too
If anyone gets SLAM ER, besides you’ve got it on the F/A-18
Hornet/Super Hornet is a very different launch platform from an F-15
And like you said, there are other weapons it could get
