We have been working on finding a proper solution for the implementation of Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree to War Thunder and now with the addition of Israeli Tech Tree Gaijin gave us best possible way to work on. After the initial release of Israeli TT, I have started working on my own project but it was rather sloppy and nowhere near of being a proper tech tree. After sometime finally found people who also were working on their own, and with our collective efforts here we are now presenting latest iteration of our Turkish Tech Tree Project, lo and behold:
Description
The Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree consists of 5 main research branches just like any other tech tree in the game. There is also sixth Sub-Branch which consists of Turkish vehicles modified, offered and/or tested by Kazakhstan. We have focused on including in-service vehicles to Research Section as much as we can but to fill the gaps we took the liberty of adding prototypes, demonstrators, test-bed and some one-off vehicles so it safe to say the tech tree is mixture of in-service (or ex-service) vehicles and prototypes. Of course we reserved most of the prototypes/one-off vehicles to Premium Section while trying our best to not hinder the research section from any unique or interesting vehicles. Premium Section consists of three branches (its not like the number of branches are important), it mostly houses prototypes, test-beds, specific vehicles, rare modifications, one-off offers and export models with/without success. Vehicles within the tree consists of combination of unique, modified or outright copy-paste vehicles. Please do note that, uniqueness might be relative term, so please do not start any heat about this matter.
For the time being, tech tree starts from Rank IV, much like Israeli counterpart, and has vehicles all the way down to the Rank VII and we have plans to move some vehicles up to Rank VIII once Gaijin introduces Rank VIII to Ground Forces. You should note that, tech tree is not finalised yet, some vehicles might be added, removed or moved within tech tree. Also more important note, take the BR arrangement of the vehicles with a grain (maybe with a pack ? lol) of salt since some of those vehicles are pretty modern machines and their specifications are classified (do not worry I’m not willing to leak any documents) or do not have proper counterparts to decide fitting BR. You are very welcomed to states your opinion about BRs of vehicles as well as overall Tech Tree.
The Tech Tree
As I’ve stated, tech tree consists of two main sections; Research and Premium (just like any other conventional trees), I’ll provide photographs of vehicles, maybe a brief info and relevant suggestions links if they are exists. Currently there is total 71 vehicles in Research Section, 44 vehicles in Premium Section and total of 114 vehicle in whole Tech Tree.
Research Section
Light Vehicle Branch
- ACV-15 (Dragar)
ACV-15 with Nexter Systems’ Dragar one-man turret armed with 25mm auto cannon. There are many similar vehicles to fill this spot but ACV-15 (Dragar) is, what I believe, the most numerous IFV within Turkish Armed Forces thus made it the research tree.

GÜRZ
GÜRZ is an Hybrid Air and Missile Defense System. GÜRZ made its first appearance few months back then as ASELSAN Point Air Defense System through social media. Images were from patent sites and closely resembled what was revealed in İDEF. GÜRZ has a large arsenal for an anti-air system for its size, armed with one 35mm Auto-Cannon, 4 MANPADS and 4 Medium/Long Range Ground-Launch Air-to-Air Missiles. Lethality of GÜRZ further enhanced by 3 AESA Radar with 360° coverage and fire control radar. Turret system seems to be modified version of GÖKDENİZ/KORKUT Turret System. Turret system is on Anadolu Savunma Seyit 8x8 platform with excellent mobility. GÖKDENİZ Turret System originally weight around 8.5 tons, with additional weight of missiles, radar and other systems (including systems mounted on vehicle), GÜRZ would weigh around 27 tons (17 tons vehicles weight plus 10 tons of equipment weight).

- Pars 4x4 (ARCT)
FNSS Pars 4x4 platform with ARCT ATGM system. Pars 4x4 platform was chosen for Turkish Army’s STA (Weapon Carrier Vehicle) Tender alongside FNSS’ Kaplan platform. Currently in service. Problem with this vehicle, its top missile would be OMTAS ATGM which is a fire-and-forget missile. Currently in War Thunder there is only one example of such missile on a helicopter. I’m not sure how it would fare on a ground vehicle, considering slow speed of L-UMTAS currently in game, it might not be that overpowered. Considering more and more tanks with APS getting added, this could find its way to tech tree. Another option would be limiting this vehicle with Kornet-E missiles.

System could be configured to carry 8x Cirit Missile, 4x Cirit & 2x OMTAS/L-UMTAS/UMTAS or 4 OMTAS/L-UMTAS/UMTAS. This vehicle also has same problem with ARCT platforms, fire-and-forget missiles.

- T-72KAE
T-72KAE is deep modernisation of T-72A by ASELSAN. Modernisation includes ROKETSAN’s BADGER Armor Package, ASELSAN sub-systems such as SARP-NSV, new Fire Control System, Laser Warning Receiver and CITV. Earlier version of this modernisation also unofficially labeled as Shygys. Later iterations revealed at KADEX 2018 and 2020, these iteration had minimal differences unlike the one revealed at KADEX 2016 Shygys. Main difference between KAE and Shygys is the side armor, while Shygys has ERA/NERA packages on hull sides, KAE only has slat armor. This change is probably made due to budgetary reasons or weight limitation. Do note that, neither Shygys or KAE is an official designation.
