Dont see why i woundnt be They they could upgrade the Aim with its best round put it to 12.7 and add it to the UK as a different tank. and its prob likely in the future considering they gave 1 to china meaning they no longer consider the abrams as a US exclusive.
like sure, im not going to argue what gaijins future plans are. im just saying how things are - the M1A1 AIM isnt in the UK TT, and thus i dont think any other Abrams will be.
KEW-A2?
Well yeah their not gonna get the same aim for sure but the will prob get a diff version in the future considering when the aim got added the first time and people asked why its no in the UK tree, The abrams being a US exclusive was the justification given so id gamble in the next next 2 patches we mite see 1 for sure.
and at least unlike china the UK and US are very commonly on the same team in tank RB
yes
thats a fair point. i still think we should each just have our own MBT’s. Britain did not want the Abrams and did not make it so why should they get it? They already have the Challengers.
Another thing is choosing to play the UK then begging for American gear. why even play the UK if all you do is beg for American stuff
yeah i agree with pretty much every thing your saying but the devs have kinda thrown the whole nations having thier own top mbts thing out the window so i can see why british players are pivoting to wanting an abrams as well.
if they asked the average UK main though they would prob just want a chally rework instead but thats never happening so this is prob the best they can hope for in terms of tanks
they could do the nation folder thing others have suggested. where both US and UK could have acess to a folder of Australian vehicles, which are assigned a main nation. for example, Hornets, Abrams, and F-111C are US. the new IFV and ww2 planes are UK. so if someone wanted to run a pure Australian lineup they could, but if you wanted to run an HSTV-L with the new IFV or a Challenger with the F/A-18, you couldnt
That would be a pretty cool idea
IMO they should just make a new tree with Australia and Canada and move all of its vehicle to this new tree. Why they should be together? Idk but it would end the argument who would get Canadian or Australian vehicle
even combined they would not have enough unique vehicles to make a proper nation
here is the suggestion from @MAUSWAFFE
its a little different from my idea of allowing pure nation lineups but stopping ones like HSTV-L + Boxer, but its largely the same
Does uniqueness even matter in game any more?
Not as much as it did before but there would be no point in adding another nation just for it the have every jet and tank be the exact same as the US anyway
That’s fair
Big difference between China and UK in this game, there is a lot more potential money to be earned from the chinese playerbase.
China in game isn’t played all that much more than The UK is so the devs will throw the UK a bone from time to time plus its pretty low effort since its a copy paste so its in there wheelhouse.
true.
china has a quite aggressive wallet warrior culture far beyond the typical wales of the west
That is an option that has gotten a lot of support from the Canadian and Australian playerbase. I’ve even been helping make suggestions for the type of tree. Been the one doing the ground version even. Let’s just say, they have so much unique stuff(and stuff in general), I’ve run out of room under the 5-line limit.
your definition of unique stuff is a pretty huge stretch. and you do include many many variants of vehicles, which i dont have a problem with, but thats not the reality of WT unfortunately.
