Yeah so it shouldn’t be a big deal that the US tree got the skink
It kinda is when the USA didn’t even want the Skink in the first place.

So it shouldn’t be a big deal that the US got a vehicle it outright rejected before testing began?
The US didn’t test it or otherwise operate it; only the UK and Canada did. Heck with the Skink, as built, the only relation is that the Sherman was a US design, ex. next to nothing. It should have the Skink in the first place, as it had nothing to do with it, along with not wanting it.

Then said premium vehicle has American markings and still is under a Canadian flag. Like I can understand the M4A5 because they tested one but not the Ram II they have in game.

Who needs the Skink when you have the USAAF and Bofors.

Its not a US skink, its a Canadian skink in the US tree
Its not operated by the US in game, its a Canadian vehicle still
That doesn’t make it belong in the US tree anymore. Considering the Canada that would allow it to exist in the US tree doesn’t exist as they never severed with the US in that way.
As the Canadian forces only marched with the UK and Commonwealth forces. Not the US, and not in a way that they should have even one Skink, much less two.
It stopped being a real Canadian vehicle the moment it was placed in the US tree, with disregard for its history and everything that made it a real vehicle.

US troops and Canadian troops might not have fought side by side in large numbers but the economic relationship of the 2 countries at the time is undeniable
Economic relations isn’t even a factor in war thunder so that’s a very cheap reason, but the Canadians has fought more side by side with the British than the US especially at the time the RAM I was a thing

There are many different factors used to determine which tech trees get which vehicles, the US and Canada were close allies in WW2 and are geographically close. They have more in common than Thailand and Japan, there is a case to be made for both the US and Great Britain so it makes sense that both get access to the skink and Ram II
So what about the Canadian leopards?
Or the licensed Lancasters and Vampire?
Or the LAVs?

Maybe as event vehicles, the biggest reason the US hasn’t gotten many Canadian vehicles up to this point is that there isn’t space in the tech tree for them. The US doesn’t need a Leopard since they have all the Abrams but I wouldnt be opposed if they added it an a premium. It would make about as much sense in the US tree as the German one. It would be cool to see vehicles that can be transferred between tech trees.
How about cope as the US would never get the Canadians as a sub

They all moved to my letter for gaijin for removing the skink from the US tree
They are not happy
The US already has Canadian vehicles tho? Who’s coping here?
Same as Britain, heck your are sitting in a Canadian blog that states the RAM 1 will go to Britain as tech tree same as the other two RAM’s, Skink, SPAA and Canadians ships ???
