It’s not all Chinese vehicles though. It’s more like announcing on Independence day that some commonwealth M1 Abrams is being added to UK, which I doubt many would care about.
Still, personally, I’d say if the date is such an issue it can just be released later, and this update they can fill in with a quick Indonesian Leopard 2A4 instead. It’s an easy copy to make outside of their current planning and can still work as premium.
Except by Algeria which very ouch, everything else has an base and has some sense behind. And I won’t support soviet slop into the French tech tree, fewer tech trees with actual original content at higher battle rating and this should remain unchanged.
Discussing politics in a game with no politics is also very stupid at my point of view. Gonna take a hard path here but we’d have Ukrainian vehicles in-game a long time ago if people’s brains didn’t work like: “No, you can’t just add a nation where realistically it should be” or something down this line.
People will disagree based on pride because my nation/this vehicle is better and should not be with this one another. This is unhealthy for the game. Locking new content based on political opinions is unhealthy for the game and community, isn’t that obvious?
I’m not referring to the flag in the vehicle information page but the icon on the bottom of the tech tree page. It is shown as the actual Japanese sun flag in simplified Chinese language, while in other languages it is still the rising sun flag of the IJA.
