Forgive me for going further, but while I may see the first point as valid (with the sacrifice of gameplay variety consisting of Leopards and AMX-30s) I’m unable to understand how there weren’t any other better choices to choose from.
Geographical factors seem to be a stretch from my perspective, it’s like adding a Philippine subtree to Japan simply because they’re in Asia and share similar alliances, while they’re entirely different countries that you could argue don’t share much cultural connection (with Greece and Israel being more extreme).
Wouldn’t there have been any other better choice instead of ruining the potential of a possible Greco-Iberian TT with such a bizarre decision (from my POV)?
I think it’s best we don’t fight against Greece Leopards for Israel and instead think about how to maximize this absurdity and push for Leopard 2s in the remaining tech trees.
This follows much of the same reasonings we have already done with BeNeLux, Switzerland, Finland and others being based mostly on Geographical situations and gameplay needs. So nothing is really new here.
The key focus being the gameplay point and a nation that can be added to offer things Israel on its own cannot.
The year is 2026. Everybody and his mother has got a Leopard 2. Rheinmetall has achieved monopoly over top tier and profits are skyrocketting. There is no end in sight.
X vehicles do not come instead of fixing bugs. They are not related at all. They are being added to provide gameplay that those vehicles themselves do not provide. No matter what report is fixed on Challenger, it remains a Challenger. The purpose of these sub trees is to diversify gameplay options, nothing about sidestepping reports as you are trying to spin it as.
On the one hand you are complaining about foreign tanks from the commonwealth being added to the British tree, the next second you are asking for Leopards. Its a bit of a strange dual take.
I look forward to being proved wrong in that case.
But when things like the Stormer HVM really needs TLC but Strela and OSA are added instead… Its hard not to draw conclusions.
I am not asking for a Leo 2. But rather pointing out the opposite handling of the situation.
Leo 2s were added instead of fixing Leclercs, Arietes and now by the looks of things the Merkavas. Abrams probably will eb added instead of fixing top tier chinese tanks.
Gaijins default is to bodge trees with C&Ps instead of spending the time needed to fix existing vehicles.
We’ve just seen this again with an Australian F-18 instead of Tornado F3 buffs
So Chally 2s still not fixed but also no C&P is a wierd situation to be in currently
