We highly demand war thunder to make a Pakistan tech tree thus it will attract may players from these big manpower nations like Pakistan and Bangladesh,
I suggest Bangladesh to be a sub-tree to Pakistan, also Pakistan has it’s own homemade tanks, IFV, APC’s, Frigates and fighter jets. Here’s a suggestion of what Pakistan Air, Ground and Naval tech tree should look like:
Ground Forces (Tanks and Armored Vehicles)
BR 1.0 to 2.0
- M4A1 Sherman: Supplied to Pakistan post-independence.
- M3 Stuart: Early light tank used in the region.
- T-34/85 (Captured): Hypothetical addition, based on regional conflicts.
BR 2.3 to 4.0
- Sherman Firefly: A British-supplied version with a powerful gun.
- M24 Chaffee: Light tank acquired through American aid.
- Type 59 (Chinese Export): Early medium tank variant.
BR 4.3 to 6.0
- Centurion Mk.5/1: British MBT used in small numbers.
- M47 Patton: Acquired via US military aid.
- M36 Jackson: Tank destroyer, possible export model.
BR 6.3 to 8.0
- Type 69-II: A Chinese-supplied MBT with improvements.
- Al-Zarrar (Prototype): Early variants of this Pakistani upgrade of the Type 59.
- M48A5 Patton: Modernized version with better armor and firepower.
BR 8.3 to 10.2
- Al-Khalid I: Pakistan’s main battle tank, copy of the Chinese MBT 2000 Upgraded with immense firepower and mobility.
- T-80UD: Ukrainian-supplied MBT with advanced armor and firepower.
- Al-Khalid II: Latest upgraded variant, with improved firepower and electronics.

In fact, there are many options, such as BM Oplot-P, T-80UD (6TD-2), F-16C or 85II and the like. I’m very much looking forward to seeing Pakistan join the game and hopefully see this great plan by June next year.

Authenticity of this news is quite questionable. They’re citing air chief but they wrote the name of previous air chief. Source is probably some indian news channel.
seeing as Pakistan also bought the J-10C(P) and the close co-op with china… Bangladesh would most probably go for this as well. theyve taken in chinese jets before like the A-5C so im not dis-considering this atm but lets see

Hopefully the new turret for T-69 IIG wont be a Cockerill 105 turret. That turret is so ugly XD

I wonder why a new gun because the old one is also a105 iirc.
Old one is based on L7 cannon and its not as good as the newer 105mm guns. I think this tank is going to receive the VT-5’s gun. That will reduce logistical issues and operational cost.
oh old one was rifled??? thats a big upgrade ngl
VT-5 also uses rifled gun. Upgrade tender for T-69IIG had mentioned rifled bore main gun
From squadron vehicle rank 8
Squadron vehicle it’s Block I only because outfitted KLJ-7 radar, WVR PL-5E II and BVR SD-10A
For researchable tree, battle rating 13.7 and located after JH-7A. my guess.

Bangladesh is going to produce Tanks and combat vehicles locally. Maybe we are going to assemble VT-5 and Patria AMV. Hopefully the tanks and combat
vehicles will have some unique modifications.

VT-5 would be especially beneficial since it basically fulfills the quick and rapid defense vehicle requirements that bangladesh would be suited for

Locally made VTOL drone of Bangladesh navy. Its possibly used for recon purpose. In game BN ships can get this drone as a modification.
