Romanian and Yugoslav gorund techtree
ATTENTION: If you find any mistake here please let me know.
Introduction: Salutare and welcome to the Romanian and by extension the Balkan dream our journey starts 5 months ago , when i decide alongside my friend to make a detailed techtree for our country of origin. This started as a passion project but quickly evolved into more as we devoted more time researching for unique vehicles. As a standalone country Romania doesn’t quite have enough vehicles to make up for the gaps in its ranks that’s why we decided to add Yugoslavia and by extension the former countries that made up Yugoslavia in an effort to increase the amount of vehicles present in the tree. Having a fair amount of unique and quirky vehicles this country would offer a unique playstyle and a lot of fun to new and also experienced players. In the second world war as Germany invaded more and more of Europe Romania decided to ally itself with Germany hence it has German vehicles scattered throughout the ranks. The Royal Yugoslav army didn’t have much to offer in terms of early war except some weird tank amalgamations but it makes up for it later down the line. After betraying Germany Romania helped the USSR push the Germans out of Romania with the use of Soviet tanks and after being part of the Union Romania got access to cold war soviet vehicles. In conclusion the 2 countries have a sum of 72 vehicles (give or take 1) with a lot being unique in some way or another.
This is a chart detailing the procentage of original and foreign vehicles in the tree
Orange-Original , Cyan-Foreign
This shows that the vehicles are evenly split among the original vehicles and the foreign ones .
I tried my best to estimate the br of each vehicle and tried to keep premiums as unique as possible.
The Tree is divided into 7 branches , 5 researchable and 2 premium . The Yugoslavs have their own subtree branch but there are some vehicles scattered to make up for br differences and gaps. The ranks are not equally made , that’s why some have more vehicles than others, we tried our best with the spacing of the vehicles but it still has gaps in some areas which was especially prominent before adding the Yugoslav subtree.
The Vehicles
I tried to keep a balance between production and prototype vehicles but that is somewhat inconsistent.
WHY Romanian and Yugoslavia? We decided to put these 2 nations together because chronologically they had good relations and even now Romania has kept most of the countries as friends. One might argue that Romania should have been a subtree for Italy like Hungary but statistically Romania has more unique and addable vehicles than Hungary . This is the logic behind it being a brand new techtree instead of a subtree also if decided Hungary could also be added to Romania making it more of a Balkans coalition rather than Romania being its own country. Another option is combining Hungary with Romania only and adding Austria and possibly the Czech republic.
Vehicle that could be added
Nora B-52 -serbian Spa with 152mm gun - 10.0 ish
Bov 30 - a bov with dual 30mm cannons - maybe folder to the bov 3
Ingame the tree would work similar to the Swedish or Chinese one in the sense that some vehicles have playstyles that are already predetermined while others make you think on how to use the certain vehicle. There are vehicles for each and every playstyle.
Info each vehicle will feature a description and some additional info if needed with the addition of maybe more photographs of the respective vehicle. The link towards each and every article and some of the images is at the end of the page . The War Thunder wiki is also a main source of information.

Renault FT
Renault FT
Year: 1916 Development stage: Production ww1/2 tank by the french.
The creation of the First Armored Battalion in Romania took place in 1919, due to the Romanian-French collaboration. No less than seventy-six Renault FT were obtained, of which 48 were males (armed with the 37 mm/1.46 in Puteaux gun) and 28 females (Hotchkiss 8 mm/0.31 in machine-gun). Seventeen were refurbished both at the newly created Leonida Works (Ateliere Leonida) and in the state’s Army Arsenal in Bucharest.

R-35
Year: 1936 Development stage: Mass produced light tank given to the romanian ground forces.
As part of a rearmament program of the late 1930s, Romania sought to obtain a license for the local manufacture of two hundred French Renault R35 infantry tanks. By early 1938, negotiations for establishing a factory for the production of R35 tanks had reached an advanced state. By this time France’s own demands for rearmament prohibited further development, however. In August and September 1939, as a stopgap measure, forty-one R35s were supplied to the Royal Romanian Army. These tanks served as the principal tank of the newly formed 2nd Armoured Regiment. At the end of September 1939, an additional thirty-four brand new R35s passed into Romanian hands when the Polish 21st Light Tank Battalion (Batalion Czołgów Lekkich, or BCL) chose internment over capture following the German conquest of Poland and fled over the Romanian border. With seventy-five tanks on strength, the 2nd Armoured Regiment expanded into two battalions.

Year: 1941 Development stage: Only 17 build and at least one entered romanian service or hands at some point
The BA-11 or Broneavtomobil 11 (Russian: БА-11 or Бронеавтомобиль 11) was an armoured car developed in the Soviet Union . It was intended to replace the Ba-10, but production was prevented by the German invasion of 1941. The BA-11 was a heavy armored car designed based on a strengthened ZiS-6K chassis. Used during 1941–1942 on the Leningrad front, it was designed to attack infantry, cavalry, and medium armored cars. With 13mm of frontal armour, it was only slightly less protected than the most common Soviet light tank of the era

R-1
Year: 1937 Development stage: Mass produced tank used by the romanian ground forces .
The R-1 was a Romanian used tank that saw action during WW2 within the mechanized Romanian cavalary. It was a modified version of the AH-IV , a Czechoslovak-designed export vehicle, which was used exclusively by Romanian forces during the war. A number of 36 were used, 35 of which were built in Czechoslovakia, while one modified example was built in Romania under license. The R-1 is classified as a light tank.

R-2
Year: 1934 Development stage: Mass producted tank also known as the Pzkpfg 35t
Romania ordered 126 of the tanks on 14 August 1936 as the R-2 and received the first 15, which had been diverted from the Czech order, in April–May 1937 to display in a parade. They suffered from numerous teething problems and the Romanians put a hold on production until these issues were resolved. The constantly changing Romanian demands did not help the situation, but they refused to accept any vehicles until trials were conducted in Romania. Three R-2s were shipped to Romania on 12 July 1938 for the trials, but Skoda knew which one would be chosen and prepared the vehicle well and it passed all tests. After disassembly and checks of the trial tank were completed, the Romanian commission approved the design on 23 August. In the meantime, the initial batch was returned to Skoda to be upgraded to current standards on 28 July. Shipments to Romania began on 1 September with 27 shipped before the Munich Crisis forced the Czechs to hold all remaining tanks in case they were needed. 5 finished tanks and six almost-finished tanks were appropriated and shipped to Slovakia although they were quickly returned after the Munich agreement was signed. The last shipment departed on 22 February 1939.

Year: 1942 Development stage: Captured unknown number
The L40 da 47/32 was an Italian light Self-Propelled Gun (SPG) developed as an infantry support vehicle. Entering service in 1942, it proved to be immediately obsolete. Given the general lack of armored vehicles, the Regio Esercito (Eng: Italian Royal Army) was forced to use them up to the Italian armistice. After that, the surviving vehicles were captured by the Germans and, in smaller numbers, by their croatian Allies . On some occasions, the Yugoslav Communist Partisans managed to capture some of these and put them to use against their former owners.

The tanks were officially designated T3 (or T-III) by the army and were inscribed with both the German Cross and the “Michael Cross” to avoid confusion among the Axis armies. Almost all T3 tanks were lost during the battles of Stalingrad and the Don Bend, except for one tank. Another copy was kept in Târgoviște, for instruction. This type of tank was no longer delivered by the Germans to the Romanian Army, being considered obsolete. The two T3 tanks were later assigned to the Cantemir Mixed Care Group, formed on February 24, 1944, being lost during the battles for the defense of Transnistria.

M3A3 with 2cm Flakvierling
Year: 1944 Development stage:N/A (2 converted)
During the Second World War, the Yugoslav communist Partisans were often faced with shortages of war materiel. They were especially lacking in regards to armored vehicles and tanks. Luckily for them, after 1943, the Western Allies decided to send large quantities of all kinds of war materiel, including M3A3. These tanks were a welcome addition to the Partisan’s fight for the liberation of occupied Yugoslavia. By the end of 1944, the Partisans mounted captured German Flakvierling 38 anti-aircraft guns on two M3A3 tanks. What they actually intended with these vehicles is unclear, as the enemy air force was almost non-existing by this late stage of the war.

During the war, the Yugoslavian communist Partisans were often faced with shortages of war materiel, especially in regard to anti-tank weapons and tanks. Luckily for them, after 1943, the Western Allies decided to send large quantities of all kinds of war material, including M3# light tanks. While these tanks were a welcome addition in the Partisan’s fight for the liberation of occupied Yugoslavia, their guns were not up to the date and lacked serious firepower. By the end of 1944, the Partisans simply decided to resolve this issue by mounting a captured German 7.5cm Pak40 anti-tank gun on a few M3A3 tanks. While not perfect, these at least gave them a much needed increase in firepower, effectively being a weapon that could destroy any vehicle on this front.

Year: 1942 Development stage: Mass produced
One hundred StuG III Ausf. Gs were delivered to Romania in the autumn of 1943. They were officially known as TAs (or TAs T3 to avoid confusion with TAs T4 (Jgpz 4)) in their army’s inventory. By February 1945, 13 were still in use with the 2nd Armoured Regiment. None of this initial batch survived the war. Thirty-one TAs were on the Romanian military’s inventory in November 1947. Most of them were probably StuG III Ausf. Gs and a small number of Panzer IV/70 (V) (same as TAs T4). These TAs were supplied by the Red Army or were damaged units repaired by the Romanian Army. All German equipment was removed from service in 1950 and finally scrapped four years later due to the army’s decision to use only Soviet armour

During the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia (1941-1945) and the struggle for liberation, the resistance movements employed a collection of different armored vehicles from the USA, Germany, France, Great Britain, Poland, Soviet Union, and Italy. The Yugoslav Communist partisans used tanks and other vehicles that were given to them by the Western Allies and the Soviets, but also managed to capture a number of different Axis armored vehicles. Among these was the Jgpz 38(t) which the Germans were using by the end of the war in small numbers on this front. The captured Jagdpanzer 38(t) would be used during the war in limited numbers and would also serve after the war by the new JNA (Yugoslav People’s Army) army.

In May 1946, Romania received 13 Panther tanks from the USSR. They were initially used by the 1st Armoured Brigade, but in 1947 the equipment was ceded to the Soviet-organized "Tudor Vladimirescu Division "which was transformed from a volunteer infantry division into an armoured one. The Panther tank was officially known as T-V (T-5) in the army inventory. These tanks were in poor condition and remained in service until about 1950, by which time the Romanian Army had received T-34-85 tanks. All of the tanks were scrapped by 1954. The tanks were different models: Ausf. A, Ausf. D, and Ausf. G.They were shown to the public in 1948, during the 1 May parade in Bucharest, painted with Romanian markings. Until 1950, the T-V (T-5) was the heaviest tank available to the Romanian Army.

Tenk A
Year: 1948 Development stage: Prototype medium tank
In 1948 , a commission was assembled to study the tactical and technical characteristics of the future “domestic tank”. The tank was designated Tenk Tip-A . The Yugoslav designers faced a problem. To create an entirely new tank, a developed industry was needed, as well as a large number of well-trained and qualified personnel, which Yugoslavia lacked due to the poor economic situation after the war . As a result, the commission proposed a plan to modernize the Soviet t34-85 tank . According to the requirements for the new tank, its weight should be about 28 tons. It should also have smaller dimensions compared to the T-34-85. In addition, according to the requirements, it should be armed with a more powerful gun or a modernized version of an existing gun.
Three workshops were selected to work on the Vozilo A project . They were: Petar Drapšin , Djuro Djaković and Crvene . Initially, only the Petar Drapšin workshop, named after the Yugoslav partisan commander Petar , was supposed to work on the development, but later other workshops were involved. The tank was developed without any design work. Because of this, some negative consequences for the subsequent development appeared.

So-122 (premium)
Year: 1959 Development stage: prototype sherman with 122mm gun
At the meeting of the Chief Military Expert Council held on the 4th of February 1956, it was decided to rearmed one Sherman (due to the obsolescence of M4 tanks) with the 122mm A-19 gun, and to test whether this modification was feasible and cost-effective at all. The idea was that, by installing a large caliber in the M4 tank chassis, it would extend its operational service life. At the same time, this would increase its firepower and allow it to deal with more modern tanks and to be used as a heavy fire support vehicle.
The project design was assigned to the Military Technics Institute KoV (Vojno Tehnicki Institut KoV), and the head of the project was the Uprava Artiljerije. Fortunately for them, there was an independent earlier project with the goal to modify a few M4’s by installing a Russian V-2/2R engine. This helped to a certain extent to accelerate the development time and reduce costs.

Spat30/2
Year: 1980’s Development stage: Produced spaa/light tank
At the end of the 1980s, the Air Defense Artillery Corps of the JNA (Yugoslav People’s Army) was largely based on the obsolete M53/59 Praga and BOV-3. In addition to insufficient accuracy and range, these weapons were also characterized by poor off-road mobility, which was especially evident when cooperating with tracked vehicles. To solve this problem, a new SPAAG was developed by installing a two-man turret with two 30 mm M86 Zastava (30x210Bmm) guns on the BVP M-80A vehicle chassis. In that period, the J-171 computer-controlled targeting system and the even more efficient Motorola 6800 were introduced into the JNA’s armament. They were initially intended for the modernization of the M53/59 Praga but were also installed in the turret of the new vehicle. Two prototypes were made, and a pre-production batch was expected in 1989. Despite its good technical characteristics, this vehicle was never mass-produced. Priority was given to BOV-30, a SPAAG project based on the BOV hull. In the 1990s SPAT 30/2 was used by the Serbian JSO (Special Operations Unit) as an infantry support vehicle. After the disbandment of this unit, the vehicle was transferred to the Serbian Gendarmerie.
In addition to its main purpose, SPAT 30/2 can be effectively used against infantry and lightly armored vehicles. The armor-piercing projectile has a penetration of 60 mm at 1,000 m. In addition to three crew members, it can also carry four soldiers

After the Warsaw pact adopted a new national defense doctrine. However, this new doctrine required a self-sustainable local defence industry . In April 1968 a preliminary report regarding the production of tanks in Romania was proposed to the National Defense Council of Romania. The report was ratified by the Defense Council on 13 October 1972. The development of a Romanian medium tank effectively began on 13 May 1974. The Romanian Defense Council wrote the specifications for the medium tank. The new vehicle would have a weight of approximately 40 tons, a 100 mm main gun and a 500 horse power engine.

Bov-3
Year: 1979 Development stage: locally produced spaa
Along with the development of the BOV-1 vehicle, in 1979 work began on the SPAA vehicle BOV-3 with the cooperation of TAM (Maribor) and Crvena Zastava (Kragujevac) factories. First prototype was completed in the summer of 1980 and the first batch in 1982. After successful tests, the vehicle was given the green light for production, and the second batch was completed in 1985. BOV-3 was assigned to Mixed Air Defense Divisions of motorized brigades, but also to Air Defense Artillery Brigades of the ground forces. During the war, BOV-3 successfully operated against ground targets, where high fire density came to the fore. Today it is no longer present in the Air Defense Brigades. Due to its good mobility and great firepower BOV-3 vehicles are nowadays extremely useful as fire support vehicles in the Serbian Gendarmerie.

Sava M-90
Year:1984 Development stage: Attempted spaa
n the years 1984-1991, Yugoslavia developed its own anti-aircraft system of close range, which would use the developed crawler chassis based on M-80. In addition to the construction of their own system, the designers looked after the use of already developed systems - the result was a project using the installation of the launcher of the Soviet PLRK 9k35M on an extended chassis derived from BVP M-80A. In the early 1990s, at least 3 prototypes were made, of which after the break-up of Yugoslavia, one remained in Croatia, one in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (now Serbia) and the last allegedly used by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Serbia
