If that leak is true, Gaijin should change his mind.China has many fighters and land vehicles that could be added. They can add a small number of modern tanks, but they can even add Pakistani and Taiwanese vehicles, and they have yet to add a Type 15 light tank, for example.You can’t implement a subtree in China while ignoring Germany, Japan and other countries that really need a subtree, it will cause a huge backlash.
China has many options for Subnations outside of ASEAN, Japan has few ASEAN countries that would be suitable.
Having China be 14+ nations [PRC, ROC, Pakistan, Bangladesh, 9 ASEAN nations, Chinese exports to Thailand, North Korea] only counting nations that are planned or already in their tree, while Japan gets <2 nations [Japan, Thailand - Chinese imports] is a very bad decision for gameplay.
Having this many nations will also hurt the nations present by taking away their space and making them simply band aids for problems with Chinese vehicles that will then be disregarded.
Instead it should be a more even split, where China and Japan both get more reasonable amounts of subtrees.
- China would receive Pakistan, Bangladesh and North Korea as planned, as well as Myanmar and Laos from Bangladesh. This makes for a 7 nation tree [PRC, ROC, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos], which is still a lot of content.
- Japan would receive Thailand, alongside western oriented ASEAN nations such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. This would be 6 nations [Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines], less than China, but still very good.
Though for both nations I don’t think this many nations are a good idea without a rework of subtrees, that allows these nations the space to be properly represented. Without such a rework I believe it wouldn’t be possible to give proper representation to more than 2-3 nations each, and even those would greatly benefit from a rework.
