Seriously though, Spain does not belong in the same category as Pakistan, Argentina, Norway, or Switzerland
I think PAK, Myanmar, and Bangladesh are more suitable as subtrees in China, just like the Low Countries Three Kingdoms subtrees in France
No that’s not quite how it works-
Sub tree importance should be based less on raw number of vehicles and more off of “is the progression through this tree comfortable?”
Sweden is a small nation, but it really doesn’t have pain points throughout its rather small tree. Lot of lineups ever since Finland got added.
Meanwhile you have larger nations such as France that has a gigantic gap between 9.7 and 12.0.
Gaijin needs to fix the quoting system it looks like you took a quote from me.
Subtrees are first and foremost used to fill gaps and add diversity.
yep, those 2 subtrees are 28 out of 350+ vehicles, still nowhere near most, in fact not even on the level of Finland or Hungary yet
They are currently exclusive and therefore de facto subtrees for the definition you gave.
and my argument has always been to keep nations together, so if they do add more Iranian vehicles, they should be to the US subtree.
You also still haven’t answered how Australia would harm Britain’s national identity, given that Britain already has a significant number of US manufactured vehicles in its tree, and that is most of what Australia would be
kinda what I was getting at. They shouldn’t be used to just fatten up a tree. They should be used first and foremost to help trees that actually have gaps in progression.
Now assuming nobody is in dire need of help? then you can use it to add diversity
Maybe I’ll express an unpopular opinion, but I’m really looking forward to a new premium rank VIII aircraft for Japan. Maybe it will be the F-4EJ Kai with AAM-3 or F-15J
What I was getting at, is that the proportion of a nation that is subtree isn’t actually the important thing, the US and USSR aren’t more deserving of a subtree because they don’t have one yet, in fact a nation like Sweden, with a struggling air tree, is much more in need of a subtree, despite already being over 25% subtree
Don’t know why that would be an unpopular opinion, the F-4EJ ADTW ain’t great at all as a premium.
I’m not seeing them add a premium F-4EJ Kai tho, maybe the F-15J, maybe something from Thailand.
@Smin1080p_WT How long will it take to change the track model?

Until the end of time
So, we’ve got some AMX-13s, some Leopard 1s and 2s, even an M47, what happened to national identity?
We could go through India too if you want, I promise it’s even worse.
If all of those are acceptable additions, then again, what is the argument against Canada or Australia.
I think this off-topic discussion has gone on long enough. No looking at India would only cement my position more about Canada and Australia not being Sub-Trees.
tbh most of the important stuff on this list is already in the game, and most of the missing stuff is a load of nothingburger that wont help britain where it needs it.
I disagree a CV9035NL would be a huge addition to GB.
I mean would the F/A-18 be worse than the Rafale, or the MiG-29K, or the SU-30MKI for Britian, say you had to pick one of them, which would hurt the least?
yes
I hope it won’t be Thailand
