Yes, so is the F-4 but it is in multiple trees. Since Thailand operates the T-84, it has the best chance of making an appearance if it was a Japanese Subtree.
For reason of what? The vehicle is Ukrainian in origin? The T-84 is currently sitting in the CTK files, but placing the tank where it would have reasonably gone (Russia) would be the upsetting part for people. The Thai T-84 is just a tank. That would be like people throwing a fit over the T-90M and T-80BVM being in game right now due to conflicts.
That’s not true. The biggest reason for a german subtree is the lack of planes at rank 6+. Germany has atm less vehicles/jets than france even without the benelux subtree.
With benelux they get 4 more vehicles at rank 6+ air and if france can get vehicles there despite already having more then germany aswell with a subtree.
Plus france has still much more options for planes there compared to germany like an improved alpha jet etc. while germany has realisticly only 1 tornado, 2-3 eurofighters and a F-35 left
Thread cleaned up… This will be closed if it gets Political…
These Guidelines strictly prohibit the following:
3.1. It is forbidden to publish any texts, documents, images, recordings, videos, files, and other content which are in any way associated with:
3.1.6 political and religious agitation and propaganda, including propagation of conflicts; discussion of actual political and religious issues is also prohibited due to the provocative nature: we urge you not to draw comparisons between war-historical themes and any of the political events;
US: Australia, saudi Arabia
Germany: Switzerland and/or Austria
France and italy already got one
Russia: well could be Kazakhstan but it’s a huge export nation so probably a copy paste,
Sweden: norway Denmark, and Finland which already exists
Japan and china are both highly controversial so I’ll avoid it get too political
As for israel? I don’t really know all they cooperate with are mostly with US
If anyone gets sources would be cool
And that’s it for most part
P.S
We actually need subtrees for countries as it could really bring balance and close tech tree holes
And reduce faction wars between people in forums
Germany has atm less vehicles/jets than france even without the benelux subtree.
Germany has 151 Ground, 166 Air and 67 Naval vehicles, making it the second largest Ground tree, third largest Air and fourth largest Naval tree.
France has 85 Ground, 91 Air and 23 Naval vehicles, putting it at sixth place for Ground, seventh place for Air and seventh for Naval - dead last.
The BeNeLux tree gives France 10 more planes moving it up to sixth largest in Air. Fair enough France currently has 29 Rank 6+ aircraft (Third most) and Germany 26 (Fourth most) but, as discussed, they still have a far larger tree overall.
Potential future options gets pretty subjective but looking purely at previous forum suggestions you’ve missed out at least 4 Phantoms plus an assortment of F-84s and MiG-19/21/23s; End of the day Germany were more into building ground vehicles than air.
And circling back to your first point
The biggest reason for a german subtree is the lack of planes at rank 6+
Again they don’t lack planes at Rank 6+, they just have fewer than France does. Eurofighter is almost certainly coming before the end of 2024 so people need to have a crumb of patience, their heads won’t explode if Germany doesn’t dominate every rank every update. And for the record I do think the BeNeLux sub-tree is a horrible idea.
I believe Thailand is already being at least considered. Especially now that Gaijin has tested the waters with the F-5E FCU and received a very positive reaction from Thai players. The only real issue might be some Chinese vehicles Thailand bought in the modern day, as many Chinese players don’t want to see them under a Japanese flag.
Though I believe there is also a way to avoid even that last issue
The Entire Forum and any other Gaijin web pages… we know it can be difficult to keep politics out of discussions, main issue is pretty much summed up in the rule
“political and religious agitation and propaganda”
“propagation of conflicts”
“discussion of actual political and religious issues”
They have made a statement they aren’t planned as far as I’m aware, so I wouldn’t consider them to be anywhere near likely, despite technically being possible as plans may change. I believe a Thai subtree would still be more than functional without them though, as seen with the current Thai suggestions that have completely excluded Chinese vehicles.
There isn’t much options
SK is highly controversial
Thailand is literally the only choice
If they got chinese vehicles
Some will be added
Japan is in dire TT emptiness
And they don’t have much local technology themselves
So either add Thailand in it
Or make United asia tech tree somehow which also could be a good idea
(It will include SK)
So idk about controversy aspect
