[ Poll ] Should India stay in UK tech tree?

I don’t think that’s the main reason India was considered as a subtree for UK; India used a lot of British equipment prior to warming relations with USSR/Russia such as the Centurion/Vickers export tanks(Vijyanta)/Tempests/Vampire/Hunter/Gnat and so much more I don’t care to list but I will cap it off with them buying HMS Hercules, an Aircraft Carrier which used Sea Hawks initially and eventually replaced them with Sea Harriers.

Gaijin added the Vijyanta Mk.I and jumped straight to just adding Russian vehicles to the UK tree for some reason.

Which is the major issue everyone has with it.

If they added India for the British export, an official Sub-TT wasnt required, just add British export stuff.

But by adding it as a Sub-TT signifies they’ll add the soviet stuff, which we dont need

My first option is India to have it’s own tech tree, their are many vehicles from British, Russian & Indian.

The rest is upto the Gaijin, if any details on technical data is required which is OSINT in nature can be shared on this forum.

The Mig-21Bison isn’t copy/paste.

My thoughts is that unique indian vehicles should be added to Britain, but modified export variants should usually go somewhere else. And domestic British/Indian vehicles should always have priority over Soviet stuff.

It’s pure laziness, look how they butchered the BeNeLux subtree for another example.

I don’t care about India getting independence again and becoming the 11th nation of WT. If Indian players want it.

If it happens, it would be great that we receive another subtree like ANZAC or Canada as compensation.

But, become a subtree of Israel or Japan (asean) instead of British?
Nah. It shouldn’t happen.

Also, If we keep India as our subtree, direct soviet C&P like T-72 or Su-7 need to have lower priority than domestic options like Arjun.
It is essential.

Vehicle upgrades and weapons, without anything else, are always shaky connection at best, and one that gets brought up regularly, and i will never understand why people do that.

TAM 2IP uses israeli addon armor, and TAM 2C uses israeli FCS. None of them are in israeli tree.

Vilkas, Cv90 Mk IV, the last french Tiger helicopter, the last italian Mangusta helicopter all use Spikes. They are not in israeli tree.

If israel sold Merkavas to India, or India was producing them under license, then it would be another matter entirely, but as it stands, just having israeli weapons does not justify india sub-tree in israel.

but hey.

its better than that one bloke suggesting india being subtree of china because of BRICS.

IF india wasnt a UK subtree, youd be correct. But since it is and India operates those vehicles, theres not much you or me can do about them.

Which is why people object so much to it being a sub-tt. Just sounds like they wanted a way to add soviet stuff rather than fixing the British stuff.

Having made it a subtree was a mistake. They should’ve just made each vehicle go to its country of origin (Bison to Russia, Vijayanta to UK, etc) since India buys from everyone but is not unique enough to warrant its own tree, but now we have to worry about the UK getting an SU-30MKI…

Because India is also lion sir

Please tell me its not reference to that extremely specific current meme

It’s a reference to Indian hidutva weird fascination to Israel and always trying (and failing) to associate themselves as some kind of “Aryan people”.

Though I think people just got fed up with Israel TT. It’s just fucking Patton all over the goddamn tree FFS.

Personally I think it should stay as is. We do not need another tech tree in game we already have too many as it is.

and better than how messily its implemented in GB currently

imma be honest, india doesnt have enough unique aircraft (that are non C&P) to have its own separate tree, from a quick search there is like 5/6 unique aircraft that india could get (excluding c&p) so no, those aircraft would be better to be in the british TT

Hey, if it means Britain gets the Rafale, MiG 29, and Su-27, I’m all for it. Let’s make Britain the third best air tree in the game!
