Introduction

Hi guys.

I put together a Pakistan and Bangladesh Combined Tech Tree so I could better gauge how it would fare against other nations and if it would even be viable.

This Tech Tree has come very far and has not disappointed me.
In terms of Gaijin and their POV, this will pave the way for inviting a new population into the game.
Plus the large variety of vehicles in this TT and the looming demise of the speed of the snails developments in WT’s many other TTs leads me to expect that such TTs will prove invaluable in order to not just keep the game alive but also to keep providing new content to the player base while also inviting new players.

Pakistan itself is the Sixth largest military force in the world by personnel in service and the nation also possesses nuclear attack capability.
Bangladesh is the third most powerful military force in the subcontinent possessing the third largest military budget in the same region.

So it stands to reason that with the close ties of the, albeit shaky and bloody past, these two brother nations would make for a fine joint Tech Tree.

This thread shall play role as my archive for data and developments carried forth from the previous thread about this topic.

And as a trailer…

UPK-23-250 gunpods
Malyutka ATGMs x 6

General characteristics:

Crew: 3 (pilot, copilot, engineer)
Capacity: 4,000 kg cargo internally / 5,000 kg externally slung.
Length: 18.465 m
Height: 5.65 m
Empty weight: 7,489 kg
Gross weight: 11,100 kg
Max takeoff weight: 13,000 kg normal 13,500 kg with under-slung load

Having lacking ATGM performance but still possessing a number of them, it should fit well in a BR of comparable helicopters like the Mi-8 already in game.

UH-1H

First flight: 1956

Pakistani service years: 1970s

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois AKA the “Huey” is a utility helicopter of American design. Much produced as well as exported to a wide number of countries possibly over 30. Pakistan was one of those countries.

The aircraft is capable of carrying Rocket pods and ATGMS, as such, it should be balanced against comparable SPAA in the game.
