I also noticed that Germany has the wrong South African flag, should have the old flag, not the shitty newer one
Japan is kinda empty.
Ik its like “nation” flags. But everyone has so many flags so why not add Army and Navy flags?
And JSDF
and other non national flags for other nations too?
Also would be great to have Army and Navy flags for each vehicle to show its ww2 :D
Like chi-ri army flag - Ka-chi navy flag etc.

Personally I’d like more variation from the nation flags, such as updated versions of existing flags (1999+ Japan flag, 50 star USA flag, etc.) but also national versions of nations removed for only having navy/army flags before (South Vietnam, Weimar Republic, etc.)
I wouldn’t mind Navy / Army flags either, but I feel like all should get them, instead of being a gamble for nations getting only one. Maybe even connect them to certain milestones like unlocking a number of vehicles from an operator or getting to a certain rank in a research tree.

This is a great write-up. I’d love to see something like this in-game, especially if it gives Canada a chance to “exist” and, despite what was recently said, would hopefully see Canadian vehicles in a more streamlined tree somewhere as opposed to the current dissection.

Announcement: 800 votes and planned update!
Recently the Subtree Rework suggestion has hit another big milestone, breaking 800 total votes!
So thank you to the over 800 people who were able to help improve this idea by pointing out flaws for fixing, bringing up their own ideas and improvements and voicing their opinions on whether they’d want to see it implemented or not.
Changes to the Suggestion
Gaijin has recently introduced a new UI customization feature that allows players to select their displayed nations, as well as an option to display operator flags in battle.
This feature was not something considered in the making of this suggestion, and requires a few major changes to be done to integrate the Subtree Rework seamlessly into the game again. Using this as a motivator, the suggestion will get a major overhaul, including some minor changes that were planned before, but only now implemented.
However since this is very much a collaborative effort, I think it’s best to share those planned changes and give the 800+ current contributors, as well as anyone else who wants to improve the game, a chance to give their own inputs and ideas on the planned changes.
Planned changes
Updated Main Image
Some images may not be finished yet. This is “some images”Following the recent changes to the Japanese flag, the main suggestion preview image will be altered to include the updated Japanese flag.
Other nations will stay the same, as the intent is to show the shape of folders applied to the familiar “standard” set of nations players are already used to.
Updated Displayed Nation
Previously the Rework suggested simply displaying whatever nation was last selected as a research tree to be presented as the “main” nation.
Example: Thai techtree is selected, Thailand is listed as nationHowever with the new system, the player gets the option to select a main / display nation. This means that the nation shown in the nation bar will always be that selected in the menu, while all other nations research trees would be placed in the folder above it.
The only issue this brings up is the functionality to double click a nation in the nation bar, opening the research tree. Since now players can select one-off nations, selecting them can’t do that. To work around that I had two main ideas, but I’d like to hear more opinions:
- Separate “Default Research Tree” selection available when a one-off nation is selected as display nation.
- [ + ] Keeps functionality
- [ - ] May be unintuitive / confusing
- Remove double click functionality when a one-off nation is selected
- [ + ] Intuitive and easier to implement
- [ - ] Removes a functionality when using some customization options
Updated Nation Selection
The given nation selection will get two major changes:
- Color coded nations
- Orange indicates a nation that has a permanent home in a specific tech tree. This, just as the rework is meant to do, doesn’t differentiate between “main” and “subtree” nations.
- Yellow indicates a nation that is not permanently placed in a specific tech tree.
- One-off (yellow) nations that a player doesn’t own a vehicle from are hidden from view in the selection.
->This further differentiates them from nations that have a permanent home in the tech tree, which simply appear grey if no vehicle from them is unlocked yet. This makes them feel like more natural progression, while one-off nations are presented as a bonus to that.Including Military / Region / Other Non-National Flags was considered, but won’t be included as it doesn’t affect the functionality of the Rework and would be best fit as a topic for a separate suggestion.
Changed formatting to make reading easier
Some further changes might be made to the formatting, which might include shortened or simplified text, as well as possibly more folders. This is to keep the read time of the suggestion lower and make it more accessible.
If anything becomes difficult to read or understand after the update, feel free to contact me and help improve the suggestion!
And as always:
- If you have any thoughts about the planned changes, ideas for additions or improvements, feel free to add those and potentially help improve the game.

This aligns with my preference of all base category vehicles being on the same page for ease of organizing research and lineups.
As long as I always have the ability to see every ground vehicle on one page [and others for their respective pages] for easy thinking of research plans & clicking on vehicles to research, and for easy movement into lineups [drag and drop], I will continue to support this idea.
Player choice above all else.
