Sorry, but Gaijin have failed to consider the feelings of Australian and Canadian players. It’s not just British mains asking for Australian and Canadian vehicles to be added to the tree, it’s Australian and Canadian players simply wanting their vehicles in one place.
Why should Australian players have to grind 2 trees just to play all their vehicles? Because you can’t just bring the M1A1 AIM by itself, you need a lineup. The same applies to Canada, why should those players be forced to grind the 3 trees to play their vehicles?
Also, I don’t understand the argument for an Australian Abrams and Canadian Leopards not playing similar enough to the British Challenger when Gaijin gave the British a T-90 which is an even larger gap in playstyle.
Also, sure India and SA don’t have enough for an independent tree, but you could easily make a combined BRICS or Commonwealth of Nations tree. Saying you can’t do something when there’s obviously solutions is a fallacy.
This could’ve been something interesting.
Add a new folder (or two) to each tree and let players select one of the available nations to fill the folder as their subtree, if they want one. It allows players to chose which nation they want as their subtree while also not bloating the regular tree.
There’s plenty of ways they could, theoretically, go about handling these Subtree / Subnations better, than just fragmenting them all over the place, often with contradictory logic to where they end up.
I try very hard to understand the snails perspective, but when I see M1 AIM in the US tree, and F111C in the UK tree, under completely contradictory logic to why they ended up where they did… I give up.
The issue is Canada and Australia(likely New Zealand too(but it unthinkable they won’t be with Australia)) are “appeasement” nations.
If we look at every addition post Leo issue, they all seemed to be related to something else(heck, even some of them older additions feel the same way)
F-111C - Was given because Gaijin wouldn’t be giving them the F-111K.
Ram II - Due to the US being Skink. Why do I think this? The UK is one of the three operator nations of the Ram II if there was any real plans for the UK getting it would have had it years ago.
As for naval additions it likely due to the fact it hard to justify them going elsewhere we’ve been lucky they are in the same place.
Does the Chinese player base think that this is somehow exclusive to them? When the Merkava’s are missing a bunch of armor because it’s modeled as composite screens. When the Type 10 has a hollow trunnion because “Japan couldn’t possibly make a cannon lighter than the Rh120 without it making it hollow” and massive gaps in the turret armor. When the Leclerc still has a paper thin UFP. When the Arietes are still missing composite armor in it’s arrays. When Gaijin interpreting the CR2 TES kits being resistant to 30mm cannons as 30mm of protection. The ironic thing is that the Chinese player base constantly cries racism against them when we have more evidence of Gaijin saying that Japanese and Koreans couldn’t possibly build good tanks than we have anything about comments on Chinese vehicles.
not rly USA tho, weve got 2 export jet being the av-8a and c, which was removed from shop, and the other would just be removed from tt. rest of it is all domestic
you seem to misunderstand. The reason the Chinese playerbase specifically is still the most upset overall. Is because their community manager was actively sabotaging new additions for YEARS and only recently did they start getting fixed. so they had both regular gaijin goof ups, and literal sabotage
No, we do not.
But at the same time we do not control what decisions that Gaijin makes regarding additions. NO ONE asked for ASEAN before they did that stupid interview which did not represent what we wanted.
China has literally had a former tech tree consultant that actively nerfed and threatened unhistorical nerfs to vehicles. Is that not evidence enough?
We understand that other nations don’t have accurate vehicles as well.
China, France, Russia, America, and German ground are the 3 main nations that don’t want or need other people’s help. The others either have a few gaps (italy), underperforming equipment (britain), or nothing at all (Japan)
No one said they wanted ASEAN beforehand.
After the leak came out, there were some people that weren’t opposed to ASEAN, but still did not actively advocate for it and prefer to see domestic vehicle.
Yet this somehow became Chinese players begging for ASEAN?
Ok and? The primary forum mod who was handling most Japanese bug reports was a Korean who would go on acra live and bad mouth the Japanese playerbase. Just in this past year alone China has gotten more additions than Japan has gotten in the last 3. Its fixed now.
Key word “before”. Now that the option is even on the table they are falling over each other trying to swipe as much of ASEAN as they can. Then creating bad faith arguments like Japan is somehow lucky to be just getting a complete Thailand tree. You are even doing it now. “Well China had one bad CM, so that’s why it’s justified that people are trying to claim all of ASEAN”
See above my reply to Agent China isn’t special. Also it was an Chinese person who was the CM, so how is it racism when he was Chinese?
Even then, I’d argue the solution isnt to slap random equipment into the tree. I would say instead to fix the vehicles. If they are still underperforming, lower their BR.
Especially as slapping a T-90 into the tree doesnt magically mean the problems effecting the Challengers goes away.
