I think it just might be submarines.

Watch as they also put in one of the UAE/Jordanian Leclercs in a non French tree

where would UAE or Jordan even go? I could only see Jordan going to the UK which already has two subtrees (India + South Africa) and a bunch of non-exclusive subtrees (if thats what they’re called, whatever Canada and Australia are)
As of this update, France is the only country left without a pack premium for rank 8 air, is it known that one is planned for it in the last major update of the year? @gromvoiny

Idk, probably gajin will just spin a wheel and pick the nation it lands on at this point.
Or they add the trialed one for Sweden.
reminds me of a funny list i made yesterday

Depends on which variant. J-10s could get ‘fixed’ FM wise, since RN the drag is at least 1/3 more than a gripen which I am guessing doesn’t reflect the truth and then there’s the engine, ranges from 12-14.4 tonnes depending on Al31 or WS10.
And Czechoslovakia too!

Yes, that one too! They’re wasting resources and energy on countries they want to implement as subtrees that are militarily, historically and flavor-wise irrelevant for video games (Indonesia, Singapore etc…), especially for WT’s setting

Tbh I don’t mind those countries also getting representation, they have quite a few vehicles to offer.
Main issue is the insane piece mealing of the nations.

Honestly even with that sometimes being the case, I still don’t want to see them represented barring premium status. They ruin the flavor and distinct identities of the hosting nations in said respective trees.
