this is the 2nd episode of the “what if …” series , a place where project never had a built prototype (so paper project and scale model , whatever if it is small scale or real life scale), and also the far future of WAR THUNDER :
McDonnell Model 1 (usa)
Bell XP-52/59 (usa)
McDonnell Douglas AH-64 "Sea Apache" (1st , 2nd and 3rd proposal)(usa)
two blade version was the first one to be made, however both of these are just models IIRC, Mi-28A with 3 blade rotor would be muxh more welcome than a model.
ofc the MI-28A with 3 blade rotor will come before those 2 , may i remind this list only has blue-print and mock-up , and anithing that’s inside will most likely not come until at minimum 7-10 years
Both dual-barreled Koalitsiya SPH prototypes in the same photo.
Might look obnoxious … but these were working prototypes and were seriously considered to be inducted into service, but the project later matured and instead went for the current highly automated 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV design instead.
Technically this vehicle is allowed to be added to WarThunder.
I’d like to add the M109A1B tested by the Soviet Union, I don’t think these are needed, just very interesting.
This one I believe this one was sent to the Soviet Union after captured by Iraqi Forces.
The last thing the Soviet tree needs is copy paste of other vehicles. Suggesting those is as delirious as the guys who want a US T-90 because they’ve got captured ones from Ukraine.
yea … USSR doesn’t need copy-paste vehicles (unless captured during WW2)
there are loads … and I mean LOADS of unique Soviet and Russian vehicles & prototypes still left to be added in every tier … starting from T-43 & Su-101 to Object 277 & 2S15 Norov to Object 187 & T-72B2 Rogatka etc
So yea, no copy-paste … as well as no more Czech/Slovakian or Polish or post-Soviet Ukrainian vehicles in USSR tech tree please.
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.
