Hello everyone,
I would like to suggest linking the T-90M “Arena” to the T-90M in the Soviet ground forces tech tree instead of making it a completely separate vehicle that requires the full RP cost.
The idea is not to remove the T-90M “Arena” from the game. It would remain a separate vehicle, but it would be placed as a connected vehicle (foldered/linked) under the standard T-90M, similar to how some other variants are grouped in the tech tree.
Why?
- The two vehicles are very similar, with the main difference being the Arena Active Protection System.
- Requiring players to research another full top-tier MBT for such a similar variant makes the grind unnecessarily long.
- Foldering these vehicles would improve progression without affecting gameplay balance.
- Players who want the Arena-equipped version would still need to unlock it, but at a reduced RP cost, making the tech tree more consistent and less repetitive.
Benefits
- Less unnecessary grind.
- More logical organization of similar vehicle variants.
- Better consistency with other foldered vehicles in War Thunder.
- No impact on matchmaking or vehicle performance.
Thank you for reading. I hope the developers and the community will consider this suggestion.
