South Africa with India could actually be really cool, but both are in Britain sadly…

As the suzerain of the United Kingdom, the British tech tree can be changed to the Indian tech tree, and then British weapons can be kept within it.

Saying this as a Brit who has completed the British ground tree.

I don’t think it really makes sense to have Indian vehicles in the British tree. Our tree is already packed full of great domestic options. It’s not like we need them, and given they have such s unique identity, shoving them in with our tree just doesn’t feel right to me.

Quite frankly, I’m reaching the point where I’d actually enjoy a new tech tree coming to the game. Whether it’s exclusively Indian or a combination of nations that make sense together, I’m pretty confident in saying it would make a far better tree than Israel has.

On another note, it’s also a nice way of pleasing the people who want things like an Indian T-90 in the game without inviting a host of copy-paste vehicles into the British tree that make absolutely no sense being there.

Historically speaking UK also colonized USA, but we dont USA as a British subtree
Why?
Because it has unique vehicles of its own, like India
India deserves a tech tree more than Israel, more and more unique vehicles, missiles and weapon systems.

Why would you think that Indians hate the British
Most of that sentiment was gone 50 years ago

Gaijin’s main argument isn’t that India was a British colony but that it historically used many vehicles from Britain and remained close to it in its relations. Which isn’t really wrong I guess, but the vehicles become less and less compatible at higher ranks

Oh yeah totally, Let us just forget the Genocides committed by the brits. But I won’t go too much into the politics.

My counter argument to that though, is that a sub-tt wouldnt be required to get any of our export vehicles, and those that cant be gotten via export arent needed in any way. They literally add nothing to our tree we couldnt already get better domestically or via export rules

Well in the future Indian navy would be definitely help GB naval tree

In what way? They have no top tier Bluewater that could match the Soyuz, and the rest of the tree is fine

In coastal and missile destroyer where British domestic… is not worst for now but not optimistic in future

Missile destroyers we still don’t even have a county-class. Then there is also Australian options like Charles F Adams.

Genuinely where the hell is the county classz neither seaslugs nor seacat are better than rim-24 and the s-125 already on ships

Eh… Sea slugs are double the warhead size as the rims, but with half the count.

So they could be more powerful providing they aren’t Britain taxed.

But yeah, I don’t get it either, they should be fine

Actually I am quite happy that we have some stuff in Russian TT as Ješterka or Moderna but could be more. I miss for example L-39 in TT.

It have some practical advantages as I dont need to research whole TT again from begining + much better setups.

Dedicated sub-tree lines should not exist. Any “sub-trees” should just be implemented as standard vehicles. For the longest time South Africa stole space away from a dedicated British light tank/armoured car line because Gaijin can’t do more than 5 TT lines due to “limitations”.

Gaijin had to do their British TT reshuffle just to squeeze in more vehicles.

Also, my preferred option for India would be something like a Commonwealth of Nations/BRICS “minor” tree, with South Africa and India being the headliners. The Commonwealth Realm could then also be a separate tree so that way the British don’t get an Abrams and Leopard 2 via Australia and Canada. The British actually have enough vehicles to be apart of the “Big 3” themselves. I made this as an example ages ago (needs BR adjusted and some new additions added).
