Imo Taiwan should’ve gone to the US, since their unique mods are all almost based on US vehicles.

I think those are fair reasons. I don’t mind “Copy Paste” for certain things. Like I don’t mind copy paste premiums as I don’t want premiums to paywall a certain unique play-styles.

I have a puritan no copy paste memo, but frankly I only find it intolerable when they add something copy paste then when we ask for an indigenous vehicle they say, “yeah but we already added [insert copy paste vehicle] so we don’t find it a priority and will not add it”
Another is when they put copy paste knowing damn well there’s something indigenous that could be there too. Like adding a Belgian M44 instead of the Lorraine 155 Mle.51

Gaijin is a for-profit company, and they will remove anything that may be controversial

What’s controversial is adding a tree without actually achknowledging the country’s existence. Now if you got some reason think that they are right to do so, then I will mute you before I end up getting suspended for it

PRC&ROC are like a tree, where neither is a subtree of the other. Since they both represent China, I believe there is no conflict

The problem arises from the lack of a Taiwan flag specifically. Other nations transitions between flags and names are shown within game. For example Germany 1940 —> East/West Germany —> Germany(modern). However, Taiwan is not only gone from the game entirely, but in the nation bar customizer, you can’t even select RoC! This is not reasonable and should be fixed

I believe the most significant reason is that East Germany and West Germany have merged, yet the ROC has not disappeared

I generally don’t mind copied vehicles in many cases that others would, for example in the next update the one vehicle I’m most excited for, the Thai Firefly Mk.1, is one. But this here is something I agree with 100%. They claim their priority is on new vehicles, and only development times are the issue, but then we get statements that make excuses about not adding them because they went the easy way.
Sometimes it’s even worse, like the Thai M163 that they never actually had, just so they wouldn’t need to model the M163A1 or Thai modified TVADS. Or with the Stingray, where they have the Thai service tank added to the US so they wouldn’t need to model one of the more unique prototype tanks.

That’s just more reason to add it. There is people playing this game who live there right now, and unlike East Germany they are still actively represented by this flag.
In case of another currently split nation, I don’t think they would add North and South Korea with only one flag, we would get both. I think this should always be done in such cases.

First of all, big assumption that ROC disappears and not PRC (jk, I don’t care all too much. If China and Taiwan could peacefully merge I would not be mad)
Second of all, that makes it worse since there are still people who live under the Taiwanese flag and is insulting to those who do.

Gaijin uses nations to define their tech trees, so it wouldn’t make sense to split China up.

Any differences aside from maybe ammo?
All the chassis upgrades of the Krab, Smokes, laser range finder, LWS, mount for 12.7, so far this is all that is known
So big thing is just smokes and LWR, neato
