That’s actually the preferred option from what I remember. Honestly I wouldn’t be opposed to it myself considering all their neat options they have for vehicle additions.
The other option discussed and the one that seemed to have the most support, was adding it to Japan with Thailand as part of a mega Sub TT. Also conveniently eliminated the need for Chinese stuff like the VT-4 to pop up.
There are plenty of vehicles in sub trees that are simply exports from other nations and still placed in a different nation
Finnish f18
Half of South African sub tree
And some more
I agree with your viewpoint
Right, but Gaijin should consider special ones.
VT-4 is unique when considering the historical context of China and Japan
But then again
That brings inconsistency regarding which nations can be grouped together and which can’t
Polish Leo
Chech ussr vehicles
Italian and Hungarian sub tree lol
Either way the solution is easy
It’s already not coming this update
So it’s not gonna be added during a sensitive irl time period
It could be added sometime may during Thai day
Give it a Thai name
Add it as a Thai event vehicle
Make sure it’s not merged in with Japanese vehicles but has its own line
Essentially enforcing the sentiment that it’s not a Japanese vehicle
But purely Thai
Fine, when you mention “consistency”, let’s group it.
First, when you are talking about historical consistency, like Czech vehicles in the USSR tree, Hungary with Italy. These are based on past alliances, occupation, or long-term equipment sharing that’s well-established historically.
When you are talking about modern partnerships, like Finnish F-18s, Polish Leopards. These come from current alliances or defense relationships that make in-game placement understandable to most players.
The VT-4 is neither — it’s a current Chinese-designed MBT with no historical tie to Japan and no modern defense partnership linking the two. That’s why players see it as different from those other cases, even if they’re also exports.
It’s a Thai mbt and the Thai sub tree just happens to be next to Japanese TT
To be honest I would support an individual ASEAN tech tree :(
I feel like most of the conversations and arguments overlook the point that it’s going to be added in “Thai” sub tree because it’s used by Thailand…It’s not the “Japanese Tank” but a Thai tank…
Exactly
discussion name. Name of profile.
It’s obvious what this is about to them
one of the reasons why the current “sub-tree” system is not good and that it should be reworked:
Nice Point
this is a literal AI output text and I don’t have to be an expert to see it
No one should call others AI, bot, hive mind or whatever who hold the idea other than you, that’s called racist, to be specific, dehumanization.
Also, do AI know about game tree design? Cuz from what I read, he knows about WT design well.
Me myself isn’t that good at English esp. about terms, so I use AI to translate words into English from time to time, and that’s totally ok.
It makes sense and thats enough :3
The forum doesn’t ban AI, as you see obviously we are not handing papers in Turnitin.
Listen man, as much as there were bad actors, please we finally got the thread somewhat on track, now and here is not the time for this.
I know, it’s just so tiresome. I just want to see my nation tanks in War Thunder under one tree so me and my friends can play them…Is that so much to ask for? No politic, no history, just shooting tanks and flying planes.
It’s just so tiresome at this point. This whole stuff should have died down the moment Smin said that there would be no VT-4 for Thailand.
