I agree, it’s not unreasonable to expect a workaround or fix for this issue, especially considering it’s already 2024.
Regarding the user interface (UI), a complete overhaul is definitely needed. Recently, I’ve been thinking about suggestion for reworking the interaction with the weapons selection screen (as well as many other aspects of the UI).
Instead of displaying a static list of weapons, why not take inspiration from the old Gunship 2000 or Strike Commander game?
Imagine a dynamic system where the weapon stations change in real-time. As you switch between weapons, there could even be an animation of the ground crew loading the pylons with the selected weapon. This approach would add a layer of realism and depth to the game.

Perhaps it’s just my nostalgia speaking (being born in the 1980’s) with Microprose & Flight sims Etc
Additionally, I’d love to see the return of uniforms adorned with medals.
Picture this: when someone checks a player’s profile (similar to how it works in EVE Online), they can select the nation the player represents. In response, the character would don the appropriate national uniform and proudly display their hard-earned medals. (something to showoff / brag to other players)
Like this screenshot represents, but not over the top as shown (Getting Russian mains vibe of this guy)
Personally, I like the limit. As all they’ll use the extra lines for is to add more C&P sub-trees.
And by the end, a TT like the UK(with everyone saying they should get every Commomweath nation as a sub-tree) would have every vehicle in the game. At that point why play anyone else?
Being forced to make more TT means more focus on unique vehicles/national military histories. (as TTs represent the nation, not the industry as people so often think)
One of the cool (working) projects being developed between the UK and France, I hope to see many vehicles using it arriving very soon for both our countries.
Israel had only premium vehicles iirc and even in different tech trees. Argentinia has already 3 vehicles in the tech tree. It’s very unlikely especially because there would be other trees much more likely than latam or argentinia to get added first. Looking how often gaijin is adding trees it’s very unlikely this will ever change.
There are newer statements from smin that this still didn’t change aswell than posted by @Motherhen357 (I believe in the “F16 for germany” thread one month ago or so)
