and ?
Neither Czechoslovakia nor it’s successor states are formally part of the Soviet tree.
Yes, there are a few (post-) Czechoslovak vehicles in the Soviet tree, but that does not make Czechoslovakia a part of the USSR in game.
Until there is a formal announcement of something like a Czechoslovak sub-tree it is not considered part of any nation already in game and thus it’s future is left ambiguous rather than being set.

Actually, this makes sense. A Ukrainian tree with a branch for Poland, or vice versa. These countries are neighbors. Both extensively used Soviet technology in the past. Both were influenced by the Soviet Union. Now they collaborate in the production of technology. They have jointly produced tanks. However, in my opinion, there should still be a main nation with its flag in the setup menu.
Nevertheless, I still adhere to the thought and idea that I expressed earlier about splitting the Soviet tree into Ukrainian and Russian.
In my view, it would be more historically accurate. After all, Poland and Ukraine are different countries that were never part of each other. Ukraine was part of the USSR. Placing Ukraine in the Soviet tree, in my opinion, is not advisable because Ukraine has too many of its own technological developments. At the same time, Russia has its modern technology. All of this together simply won’t fit into one tree. Moreover, Ukraine is a young state (in its modern state), and the USSR no longer exists. Playing with modern tanks under the flag of a country that only had non-modernized T-80s at most is a bit unhistorical.
So, it seems to me that a split tree of the Soviet Union into Ukrainian and Russian makes sense. And I see Poland as a separate nation with the Czech Republic as a branch of Poland. Or vice versa…

No its not, unless youre saying modern T-80s are soviet, the 2s38 is soviet, the 2S25 is soviet, Pantsir is soviet…Its no longer the soviet tree once they went post 1991, unless youre suggesting the soviet union still exists…
Not at all what I said, it’s the nation represented in game, the name of the tree is literally “USSR”. Don’t twist my words. And last time I checked there are more Soviet vehicles than Russian vehicles.

You might as well have an independent Russian tree then because they’re not the USSR either

Well in my opinion, its represented wrong. Just how the japanese tree proooobably shouldnt have the imperial flag as its icon, and the chinese tree should not have the PRC icon to rep both.
They really could just change the tab flag, and stop adding czech and other non russian soviet era
Meanwhile, I checked the Russian forum and found several proposals regarding Ukrainian tanks that have been approved and forwarded to the developers…
BMPV-64
BMPT “Strazh”
T-72-120
T-55AGM
T-64E
T64B1M
MTLB MT-12 “Rapira” and MTLB R7
There has also been a suggestion to introduce Ukrainian markings into the game.
It’s very strange, usually, on the Russian forum, there is little mention of Ukraine, or discussions are quickly closed…

Afaik these aren’t SA but FEP
No, if you scroll up a little you can see I made that mistake too. I was too premature with my assesment then and I can’t edit that post now. The way you can easily tell them apart is by the smoke dispensers as the Army and USMC both use different models. Even with its covers on in that photo you can clearly tell it is an Army Abrams.

A BMP-1 with a new combat module was recently spotted. It can sport - 30mm KBA-2 (2A72), 7.62mm KT-7.62, 30mm Grenade Launcher KBA-117 and 2x “Barrier” ATGMs, although some of these are clearly not mounted. It is also noteworthy to mention that the sides were fitted with additional steel overlays.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone once again! We hit a 3,000 vote milestone making this one of the most (if not the most) voted on suggestions across the forums, both old and new. Please continue to provide helpful feedback and hopefully Ukrainian vehicles will be added in one shape or another. 🫡
