China, Isreal, italy has also many many c&p vehicels, planes,…
Never judge a country about his c&p you should Look about his potential to make Players happy, more new Vehicles and the joy.
C&P is something we can‘t change because every country has its C&P Vehicle.
Nobody speaks about the Strv from sweden which Are upgraded and licensed produced Leopard 2‘s. What about the Typ‘s from China they Are T-55/62‘s and Isreal ervything is C&P despite the Merkavas.
Türkiye has C&P in his lower Br.‘s, the M48/60, Leo 1/2 and some APC‘s the rest is Turkish stuff. 50% C&P and 50% Original Stuff.
When you speak about Altays Production then Look at the Soviet Prototyps which of them Never got produced. So why Not Turkish Prototypes.
In my opinion is Türkiye an better Technology Tree then Isreal and China.

It looks great. It should definitely be added.That the Turks have been a warrior race throughout history. It would be a shame not to add the Turks to such a war game. They are one of the rare warring states today.

- Type: Self-propelled short-range surface-to-air missile system (SAM)
- Origin: USA
- Service in Turkey: Began in the 1980s

Role in Turkish Forces:
- Primary Use: Deployed to defend against low-flying aircraft and helicopters. The system was crucial for protecting strategic locations and key military installations.
- Integration: Often used alongside other air defense systems like the MIM-23 Hawk to create a layered defense network.
Modernization and Service:
- Upgrades: The Chaparral system in Turkey received various upgrades over the years to maintain its effectiveness.
- Replacement: By the late 20th century, the Chaparral was gradually phased out in favor of more modern air defense systems, such as Stinger MANPADS.
Significance:

Here are few M15 MGMC images in Turkish Service from Korean War
Those T-34-85 are more likely ZIS-S-53 rather than D-5T. There T-34-85s with several different road-wheel configurations. Some might be post-war built or they were just refitted with more accessible Star-Fish road-wheel
These T-34-85s are fitted with externally dampened Dished road-wheels, hard to tell which year as there were three similar designs built in 1941, 1942 and 1944.
This T-34-85 is fitted with T-55’s Star-Fish road-wheels. This one might be post-war built or simply refitted.
The one in the front is fitted with both Start-Fish and Dished road-wheels, the one at the further back has single Spider Web road wheels though it is hard to tell if its 1942 “Half-Spider Web” or 1945 “Full Spider Web”
That being said, they all still seems to be armed with S-53 and not D-5T though there is probably someone knows better than me correct me.
Single T-55A was bought from East German surplus after the unification.
I quite certain Turkey never acquired Chappralls ever, though it was offered to Turkey but nothing came out of it as far as I’m aware.
Our stance has not changed for including non-Turkish operated vehicles. They have to be either;
- Built and exported by Turkish defence firm
- Uses major components built by Turkish firms
- Modernised/upgraded by Turkish firms
- Used by Turkish Armed Forces either formally or non-formally
Barys 8x8 although is said to be produced by KPI, it is still a regular Mbombe 8. So I do not think the one with AU-200M makes sense to add though the one with NEFER (SARP 100/25 with its new designation) might be a contender. That being said there is Arma 8x8 with SARP 100/25 so makes it kind of redundant. Irrelevant info, Arma 8x8 smoked Barys 8x8 during trails.

SU-25 ML (SU-25 Lacin)
This Su-25 was modernized in Azerbaijan with the help of the Turkish company “TUSAS”, in addition to Soviet and Russian weapons after modernization can now carry Turkish corrective ammunition, smart bombs, and so on, and any aircraft of the Azerbaijani Air Force can carry Israeli weapons, including the MiG-29, which carry exclusively Israeli air-to-air missiles in addition to Russian ones.
And before the modernization these aircraft participated in combat operations Su-25Ml under number 23 made 60 combat sorties of which 58 were effective and has 58 stars
Features of modernization as plane was modernized by a Turkish company the translation was made from their website and if something is written incorrectly you can correct it

Highly unlikely to be included, I have not seen any source to claim M7 was ever used by Turkish Army.

If the Turkish tech tree comes, I hope there is no C&P like the Aselpod. The Chinese pod has been called “Aselpod” even though it is Turkish

The M18 Hellcat was used by the Turkish Armed Forces starting in the 1950s. Turkey received these tank destroyers as part of military aid from the United States after World War II. The M18 Hellcat served in the Turkish Army until the 1970s, before being gradually replaced by more modern models.
The M18 Hellcat was used by the Turkish Armed Forces primarily for defensive purposes and anti-tank operations. As a NATO member during the Cold War, Turkey deployed these vehicles particularly in border regions to counter potential threats from the Warsaw Pact.
Primary Areas of Deployment:
-
Greek-Turkish Border: Due to the tense relations between Turkey and Greece at the time, especially during the Cyprus crisis, M18 Hellcats were stationed in border areas as part of Turkey’s defense strategy.
-
Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia: These regions bordered the Soviet Union (modern-day Armenia and Georgia) and the Middle East, making them strategically significant. Turkey placed anti-tank units there to defend against potential threats from those directions.
-
Military Exercises and NATO Maneuvers: The M18 Hellcat participated in various NATO exercises where the Turkish Army trained its defensive strategies and cooperation with NATO allies. These drills often took place in the western and central parts of Turkey.
Although the M18 Hellcat did not see significant combat during its service in Turkey, it played an important role in preparing for potential threats within the context of the Cold War.

No, that is incorrect.
Turkish Expeditionary Force were given various US vehicles to operate, and even though M16 MGMC were one of them, we did not operate any M18 in Korea or bought any.
The image you used is from a skin, where it mentions that it is “semi historical”, which is in fact not true.
The text is from ChatGPT, which is an unreliable source, as it tends to give misinformation to please the user prompt.
Overall, this information is false, Turkey did not operate any M18 Hellcats.

The MZK 105 turret has undergone further development and hence have received a new designation as MAT.
Because of the 105mm low recoil gun the turret can be installed on wheeled platforms

We’ve actually thought about that as well, but we preferred Kazakhstan as it included more vehicles with Turkish origin.
Currently though, we cannot add any subtrees to our Ground Tree, because the tree is already on it’s “max 5 row” limit set by Gaijin for Tech Trees.
On air though, we are thinking about a possible addition of a “Central Asia” tree that involves Turkic nations, however I cannot promise anything yet.
Su-25ML-1 is already included on our planned air tree as a squadron vehicle, and we are waiting further information to be released for Su-25ML-2.
Thank you for your research, suggestions and feedbacks, have a nice day/night <3
