- The Visegrad Group, also known as the V4, is a political and cultural alliance of four Central European countries: Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The group was established on February 15, 1991, in the Hungarian town of Visegrad, with the signing of the Visegrad Declaration. The main goal of the Visegrad Group was to promote cooperation and mutual assistance among its member states, particularly in the areas of economic integration, cultural exchange, and security. The group was founded during a time of significant political upheaval in Central and Eastern Europe, as the region was undergoing a transition from communism to democracy. The four countries that make up the Visegrad Group share a common heritage and a history of close cultural and economic ties. They are all members of the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and they have all undergone significant economic and political transformations since the fall of communism. One of the primary drivers behind the formation of the Visegrad Group was the desire to promote economic cooperation among the four countries. Since its inception, the group has worked to promote trade and investment among its members, as well as to coordinate their positions on economic issues at the European level. The Visegrad Group has also played an important role in shaping EU policy in recent years, particularly in the areas of energy security and the Eastern Partnership. The group has been a strong advocate for diversifying Europe’s energy supplies, particularly through the development of new gas pipelines and the expansion of nuclear power. In addition to its economic and political objectives, the Visegrad Group has also sought to promote cultural and educational exchange among its member states. The group has established a number of programs to promote language learning, student mobility, and cultural exchange, in an effort to strengthen the ties between its member states and promote a shared sense of identity.
Collective Security:

- Since its inception, the Visegrad Group has worked to promote closer military ties among its member states. The group has established a number of joint military exercises and training programs, as well as joint procurement and development initiatives aimed at improving the interoperability and readiness of their armed forces. One of the key objectives of the Visegrad Group’s military cooperation is to enhance the collective defense capabilities of its member states. The group has been particularly active in promoting regional defense cooperation and integration, with the aim of increasing the security and stability of the region as a whole. To this end, the Visegrad Group has established the Visegrad Battlegroup (V4BG), a joint military unit made up of around 3,000 soldiers from the four member states. The V4BG is designed to be rapidly deployable, and is intended to support EU and NATO operations in the event of a crisis or conflict. In addition to the V4BG, the Visegrad Group has also established a number of other joint military initiatives, including a joint air defense system and a joint cyber defense center. These initiatives are aimed at improving the collective defense capabilities of the member states, and at enhancing their ability to respond to emerging security threats. The Visegrad Group’s military cooperation has also been focused on promoting regional stability and security, particularly in the face of growing threats from Russia. The group has been a vocal advocate for increased NATO presence and engagement in the region, and has called for a more robust response to Russian aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. At the same time, the Visegrad Group has sought to develop closer military ties with other countries and organizations outside of the region. The group has established partnerships with a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, and Israel, and has sought to deepen its engagement with NATO and the EU. The Visegrad Group remains an important forum for military cooperation and coordination among its member states. The group’s efforts to promote regional security and stability, and to enhance the collective defense capabilities of its member states, are an important contribution to the broader European security architecture.
In-game Purpose:
- The purpose of the the Visegrád Group, or V4, in-game is to find an efficient way to add Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary while still allowing for growth to remain competitive long-term. On their own, these nations would suffer in the long run for not having the available vehicles to sustain themselves versus nations such as Germany, the U.S., or the Soviet Union. However, by combining them into the collective V4 Group, all four nations can thrive as well as offer players the opportunity to try a truly diverse tech tree. The tree itself is roughly broken up into three sections, Pre-war/WWII, Cold War, and Modern. The era transition has been made as smooth as it likely can be to prevent WWII-era vehicles from combatting late Cold War-era vehicles. All four of these nations in the Cold War-era operated almost the same vehicles with few derivatives. Many of these vehicles such as the T-72M1 evolved into nation specific variants such as the T-72M4CZ, the PT-91, or the T-72M1A. As players progress past the Cold War, they can experience the transition of these nations to more advanced vehicles such as the Leopard 2PL, the KF41 Lynx, or the STROP II. Jumping ahead of the problem, players are going to be first concerned with the 44M Tas (8cm 29/44M), the M1A2 SEPv3 and/or the K2PL Black Panther. The 44M Tas (8cm 29/44M) was added due to its uniqueness as well as a majority of the vehicle was assembled in sections, but was not completed in its final form. Next is the M1A2 SEPv3. This vehicle is placed in the event section as a recommended reward for winning in the World War Game Mode or in a Special Tournaments like the M60 AMBT or the E-100. The M1A2 SEPv3 can be swapped with the M1A1 FEP or M1A2 SEPv2 for balance as necessary. Lastly the K2PL Black Panther can be added or removed as necessary. Anyways hope you guys enjoy and please provide feedback in the comments section.
Special Thanks:
- A special thanks to the original poster of the Visegrad Group suggestion, @Miltaccfd as well as all others for their awesome work in preparing suggestions for the following nations: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary. 🫡
