Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I do hope they do another road map/feedback form. As I know I definitely would bring up this. As it is the only way for me to support sub-trees again as it will allow for all the room they need and in turn proper representation to sub-nations rather than the 1 line of C&P and all its unique stuff being event vehclies.

This is really great. Few things are more urgent and necessary than a rework of the trees/subtrees.
We should all support this idea because it’s the best way to avoid being sold the same vehicles twice, as the Israeli experience has taught us well.

It’s simply perfect

TBH, Gaijin might not like this improvement since it will reduce the C&P work.
Also would raise questions like whether districts without sovereignty should be recognized as an individual subtree or not.

What do they have that is “better” than the US version, except for the Ayit? Don’t tell me you actually think 20 Magachs or the 10.3 Chaparral is usable.

Netz doesn’t get sparrows. Barak 2 is a worse 16C with worse fox 3s. Baz is identical to F-15A. Baz Mesuphar is straight up worse than the F-15C because no HMS mode or ability to guide multiple missiles.

I’m sure we’ve discussed this concept a lot over the years. I’m also quite sure that we debunked the idea that pages with subnations and interchangeable lineups would reduce the amount of copy-paste. I mean, it won’t be different from how it is now. On the contrary, there will be plenty of space to add a Dutch F-16 and a Belgian F-16, allowing everyone to choose which one to research without affecting research progression. Gaijin will have more freedom and flexibility to offer more copy-paste, even with some small visual and gameplay differences between vehicles of the same type.

Neither is Taiwan.

The major function and purpose of releasing C&Ps is to extend the Life Time Value, IMO.
Pages of subnations do provide more space for C&P, but for Gaijin, these C&Ps can’t extend the LTV, since players don’t have to spend extra time research every new vehicle and could easily ‘speed run’ the whole tech tree. So my point is that Gaijin may not be motivated to implement the system nor to release more C&P in that system.
As a player, this is surely a good thing for me tho. Just can’t really expect Gaijin to take the step forward.
I also doubt if Gaijin could implement that without any bugs or critical game failures( bruh

like next plane or smth

A-10C is going to be fine. Even if they give it none of the better ordnance it should carry over the A-10A, just getting a targeting pod for the 65Ds boosts its capability significantly. I already do just fine using it in GSB against handheld S1 players. With even the most minor of upgrades it will be able to contend in top tier ground battles.

And if it gets SDBs or other longer range options it will contend even better.

I think they will never do it, because for Gaijin one of the main purposes of subtrees, at least for “minor” nations, which have 4 lines at max by their own, is to prolong the grind towards the top of the tree.
Just like you have to research Hungarian lines even if you aren’t interested in their stuff. Unfortunately it also kills one of the main advantages of such smaller nation TTs, when they get chosen because the grind is much faster than smth like overcrowded SU TT. In general I pretty much doubt that they will do smth like described in the suggestion.

Its how they prevented swedish players from getting their only rank 8 when the JA37D came out at the same time as the f16/mig 29.

The more fucked up part was that they made you either grind the entire finnish tree for the mug 21 or buy the Saab 35XS in order to rank 8.

Though sweden only had 3 lines of which most aircraft are “fighters” and copy paste strike versions of those fighters. Regardless both sweden and isreal are the only air nations to only have 3 lines. So both nation could get 2 sub trees just for air.

Finland added the fourth line but it aslo had to have a swedish jet added to it just to expand it.

Let’s say Swiss is indeed coming with an F/A-18.
That would justify a rank 8 premium for Germany.
What would be some good options?

The other F-4F ICE, I would say.
