I also think it’s incredibly dumb they did that. Out of all the Indian vehicles only the Vijayanta made sense as it was based of a Vickers MK1 unlike the other Indian vehicles. Even then it should’ve been one of those vehicles that get shifted like the French, Italian, Swedish, Chinese and Israeli ones.
Most subtrees or singular vehicles are added based on the military connection they have to the in-game nation. India has used various British weapons so it would make sense for it to be there but it of course also depends on players opinion.
They still view the US as dangerous adversary so the F-14 should not be there by your statement. Aside from that since when does political issue play a big part on the placement or addition of vehicles or Subtrees?
Hungary is a make sense though but Spain would have been a better option overall same with India where Canada or Australia could have been a more suitable option.
Honestly, I won’t even go into this discussion because I don’t know enough about Iranian and Indian people to make conclusive arguments for/against.
However, in Iran’s case - it is USA jet SOLD to Iran. The similar example would be having USA plane in Iran tree.
I do know about Czechia’s opinion on Russia, though. And I don’t think any of Eastern European countries would like to see any of their vehicles added to the russian tree. Well, majority of the people.
Weve made it to first version of “list of unfriendly countries” together with US and no one else.
So any post 1989 czech or slovakian vehicles dont make sense in russian TT, and even the pre 1989 vehicles dont make sense to anyone who read a history textbook once.
wanna give L-39 to russian TT, fine. add it with soviet insignias as planes that were operated by russia.
i think it will be a massively funny situation IF gaijin decides to add czechoslovakia to russia TT, because depending on wording of their possible devblog for such addition, they could face legal trouble within EU.
So then India would make sense as the UK has sold various weapons to them but of course player opinion matters (which Gaijin often disregards), like mentioned in my previous comment Canada or Australia would be more suitable.
I do understand some of the history of Eastern European countries and im not trying to get them in russia but instead try form their own thing like Yugoslavia. However certain vehicles will land in there.
Yet the vast majority of these Eastern Europeans are in an alliance, you also seem to forgot that Gaijin tries to avoid political issues that’s why i brought up the F-14 and India which despite their political issues still got added in the US AND UK .
Aside from that many support this idea (you can watch the suggestions) but i see you don’t and that is fine i respect your opinion however how do you intend to bring them in the game? A combined Tree gives them this option.
They don’t recognize geopolitical issues, they’ve even said this in the past, therefore anything about them not liking Russia is completely irrelevant.
Criminal charges such as? elaborate further because if you’re saying you they’ll face criminal charges for putting a nation under a certain flag in their game is actually hilarious.
Current implementation reflects historical alliances and
also consider Freedom of Expression and Sovereign Immunity, there’s also no legal precedent.
Even without the geopolitics, it feels like a waste to make Czechoslovakia as a subtree due to the number of vehicles offered.
Same goes with India as part of the UK and Hungary a part of Italy. India is being used as premium or event fodder while Hungary got none of its indigenous aircraft or modified cold war ground units. Czechoslovakia would most likely go down the same route as one the prior mentioned trees.
Would it take longer to implement a independent tree? Absolutely. Am I willing to wait? Yes as I’d believe more unique vehicles can be added when not vying for spots on a tree that seems to be strong all around.
It’s not that I don’t want the USSR to get a subtree, I just think there are better options.
