Agree with the first half, disagree with the second.
The Soviet tree should be represented by it’s successor states, Ukraine being one of them. However, current world events prevent that and I doubt we’ll see any Ukrainian mods anytime soon.
Regarding T-72 mods, I’m not sure. Germany got their Canadian Leo 1 MEXAS despite other Canadian vehicles with the UK or US, the US got the Aussie M1, despite other Aussie stuff in the British tree, but then the Brits got the T-90 Bhishma. Unless the T-72 mod is in it’s own tree, it should realistically go to the Soviets. Look at the T-72M2 for example.
yea, that’s what I am referring to. Instead of the Slovak Moderna … some other Soviet T-72 mod would’ve sufficed during that time … like the cool T-72M1M.
There are numerous Soviet mods still left to be added.
If you fill it up with other countries’ mods where will you add the cool Soviet ones? How bloated & cluttered you want the tree to look, then?
Instead, why not make another tree? Based on Yugoslavia? Or Visegrad. And add the non-Soviet mods there. Add sub trees there even.
Much cleaner and intuitive. And better than cramming every little mod under a single tree.
should be represented
what should be has long been abandoned in WT, after Merkavas in US and T-90 in UK.
USSR tree doesn’t need all the world nations’ T-64/T-72/T-80 mods.
There are soo many unique Soviet and Russian vehicles & prototypes still left to be added. Add those first.
Highly depends on the country in question and whether they have independent potential or not.
T-72AV is a very sensible addition for USSR whereas the AMBT makes sense for USA, but there can also be arguments made that something non-Turkish should’ve been added due to said potential.
Personally I’d love to see vehicles from ‘minor’ nations if you will, especially those of the Arab world.
They have been poorly represented despite their influence and military histories and I don’t believe they will be getting trees, but things such as Jung Jungental would be awesome in German tree for example.
Totally depends on Gaijin’s internal roadmap (which changes a lot, as has been seen)
Merkavas & Magach were given to US. Not 1 or 2 … but 4! Only to get a proper Israeli TT later.
Same happened with UK’s Swedish Strv and the Chinese vehicles in US & USSR tree.
And recently UK got the T-90 Bhishma as well.
I’ve been seeing multiple suggestions recently for a Polish TT in WT. On the other hand, Gaijin already added Leopard 2PL to Germany. (The Indonesian Leopard 2RI could’ve been a better candidate for that now, don’t it?)
So … what I ask is, instead of doing a T-72M2 Moderna again for USSR i.e adding a Soviet vehicle mod from a nation with a tree/sub-tree potential, instead add from minor nations, as @Mahiwew states. Like the T-72AV TURMS-T.
In simpler terms: don’t add Slovenian M-55S or Polish PT-91 or Czech T-72M4CZ etc to USSR in future, instead add Iraqi T-55 Enigma or Belarusian T-72BM2.

M1A2 (export) below if you don’t know
The F4U-5 Corsair. It would be fairly easy to implement, given that we already have the airframe mostly modeled ( On the AU-1 and F4U-7). All it needs is the correct power curve and engine overheat temps.
You are free to suggest other test/prototype/produced-but-not-fielded vehicles for other nations.
I am sure there is some type of obscure Bradley or Scimitar test variant which will absolutely be on par, if not better, than these suggested BMP-3 variants.
If not, then there is a pill to be swallowed.
These vehicles are real, functional, and very well may be added if Gaijin decides so, for any reason.
And you can only be mad at the other nations for not having any counterparts.
