USS Indiana (BB-1) would be cool, any config, any year.
In Iran, the Western technological group was already established by 1980, so the Eastern technological group will be weaker.
Imagine if Gaijin really went with the idea of giving Iran to UssR,
Imagine … a Soviet F-14 and Chieftain
(Well Kubinka does have captured Chieftain, M60, M109 etc. )
Dont have to, considering the existence of Soviet vehicles in “Wester” TTs (ofc as part of Warsaw pact… which is not reflected in the game whatsoever)
This is just the worst idea ever
I mean, a unified Warsaw Pact tree would be neat (and balances out sim battles at Cold war vehicles eras)… but some nations already being taken as subtrees unfortunately
number of chieftains, m60s and other western tanks still more than russian tanks in iran
also iran is not ally of russia
in recent war between israel and iran and usa we clearly have seen that
if they add iran to russia, many iranians wont be happy to see that
it make much more sense to add IRAQ to russia than any other middle east nation
russia dont need IRAN, may better add some former soviet union nations to russia,
IRAN SUBTREE OF RUSSIA = NONSENSE
(im iranian)
It depends on the source of information, because if you look at everyone’s favorite Wikipedia, you get the feeling that there are about 1,5-2 times more tanks of the Eastern Technological Group

m60, m47, chieftain, m113, logistic tank like chieftain bridge and others, more in the army than irgc
most of russian tanks are in IRGC
me myself have seen many Chieftains in the army bases in Khuzestan
(the largest armored division of the army)
anyway, iran as a subtree of russia is ABSOLUTE NONSENSE
It is still better to have a source that more accurately determines the amount of equipment. Yes, the equipment of the IRGC and the Iranian army is combined into one whole, because few people see the difference.
The word “nonsense” is unknown to the developers.
yes its their game, they can do whatever they want but its wrong
maybe its like add vietnam to usa lol or something like that (vietnam want to buy f-16)
We already have Taiwan as part of China, India as part of the UK (India has been independent since 1947 and has no treaties), Germany controls Poland again.
Over kill concept, most Eastern European nations can go separately, and yes the Warsaw Pact concept is not really viable anymore
algeria makes more sense to add to the USSR tech tree as a subtree if we are not having the other USSR states recognized as a subtree/incorporated in to the tree
taiwan china = make sense (they was one single nation about 70 years ago)
india uk = make more sense
poland germany = more more sense
iran russia = bro… they have been fighting each others for the past 3 centuries and still not ally
absolutley
speaking of algeria

BMPT 62 to the game
its a T-62 chassis with the Berezhok turret from the BMP-2M
if they add the IRGC as subtree of russia it really make much more sense lol
but iranian army as subtree of russia? you really need to ask iranians (they wont show happy face to you)
adding some new modified IRGC tanks to russia (single vehicles not subtree) it make sense
like this one
