The US doesn’t need Turkiye. Since the US still has plenty of Domestic planes, tanks, boats and helicopters options left across all br’s.

Italy on the other hand - Hungary has been left for dead, same can be said about Romania. Perhaps it was planned this way for the addition of Turkiye.
Not only that, Italy and Turkiye have a very strong Defense and Strategic allience, since both are key players in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
Also deepening collaboration in defense, including partnerships between Baykar (Turkey) and Leonardo (Italy) on drones, and discussions on Eurofighter jets.

How about Turkey be the face for the Arab united tree like Poland for EE ?

What the US (and all other tech trees) need is all the varients added rather than 1 single new vehicle.

We have 1 single LAV in the US tech tree

I don’t want a subtree in the US. We don’t need to fill spots, we need to get what is already ours, and the stuff that is ours in game that we still haven’t received.

If PL-5EII was added with limited IRCCM, why 9X cant be added to 14.3 planes, but limited to FoV narrowing?

@Deathmisser
Türkiye and Saudi Arabia should not be grouped together in War Thunder because their strategic relationship shifted from cooperation to open rivalry during the 2010s, reflecting fundamentally different political alignments and military interests. While both countries initially opposed Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian civil war, this temporary convergence quickly broke down due to deep ideological disagreements—most notably Türkiye’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which Saudi Arabia strongly opposes. This rift became clear after the 2013 Egyptian coup, where Ankara condemned the Saudi-backed overthrow of President Morsi, marking a decisive divergence in regional policy.

Tensions further escalated when Saudi Arabia actively worked against Türkiye on the international stage, including blocking its bid for a non-permanent UN Security Council seat in 2014. The relationship deteriorated even more during the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, where Türkiye openly supported Qatar against Saudi Arabia. By 2018, Saudi leadership publicly labeled Türkiye as part of a “triangle of evil,” discussed sanctions, and took cultural and economic measures against Turkish influence, while Turkish leadership responded with harsh rhetoric in return.

Given this sustained period of political hostility, competing regional ambitions, and lack of military alignment, combining Türkiye and Saudi Arabia into a single faction would be historically inaccurate. In War Thunder, where national trees reflect real-world military doctrine, alliances, and geopolitical positioning, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia are better represented as distinct and separate entities rather than allies.

“Turkish - Arab Relations”

That would be like adding Ukraine to Russia.

No, a quick search on the internet. Read from 2010 to 2020

Yeah, even less domestic equipment.

That’s exactly why we don’t want one. I have seen how sub trees get implemented, no chance in hell I want that.

Well judging on how it was a massive wall of text that appeared out of nowhere with near prefect gammar, it was a bit fair to assume it was ai. But i will admit that i probably did jump the gun a bit too soon.
