Poland for sure

This tree would break the game seeing that this war means Ukraine would have basically everything at this point.
All their pre-22 soviet stuff then add all the Nato stuff they have received and all the additional RU stuff from capture.
Also not sure how Gaijin wants to handle things politically but having a game that puts two nations currently at war in the real world doing so in the game… if they do decide to do it, it won’t be for a long time.
On the contrary, wide variety of possible vehicles only gives devs more space for balancing and shaping the tech tree. It already has 70+ ground vehicles without any russian trophies and without any western vehicles.
if they do decide to do it, it won’t be for a long time
Again imaginary battles of 3D-modelled tanks have nothing to do with RL situation.
If anything, as independent European video game developer and publisher, company could pander to Ukrainian player base more, now that ru players have huge issues with domestic payment systems with unclear perspectives going forward.

I was thinking it would be pretty sweet if Ukraine adds one of there 30mm Combat Modules to a Strkyer APC

So they are adding the T-80UD a Ukrainian modification to the Russian tech tree. That is the biggest pile of bull**** I have ever seen.

I believe this is the Soviet T-80UD from before the collapse, not the post-collapse Ukrainian one.

Just because Ukraine is all over the news does not mean their a major military power or can be considered for a tech tree that would only be copy past.
Ukraine only has a few domestic vehicle most of which originate from the time in the USSR which we already have a tech tree for.

No they don’t.
I wish people would stop trying to separate country’s from their history, Ukraine and Poland were part of the USSR whether you like it or not. We have a tech tree for the USSR which has many of their vehicles.
ukraine is closer to russia way more than poland. if poland would go to germany i wouldn’t really care.

You could do that. It would be kind of cool to see some of Poland’s T-72 variants in the German tech tree.

Reaching for things never said
Awfully weird decision of Gaijin to add operator country then. Why distinguish Russian vehicles in the USSR tech-tree as Russian vehicles post 1991 collapse?
Waste of development time, money and effort. Silly silly Gaijin. Why would they ever have done this?
- They are functionally different, which makes them unique and therefore worthy additions. They offer things we don’t have in game.
Not related to the USSR except by some design and the steel used to build them 50 years ago.
Have you ever seen, in Warthunder,
T-Series Tanks with NATO - competitive transmissions?
Hard-kill APS?
Better-than-relikt ERA?
Through-and-through, top-to-bottom, competitive power plants?
Perhaps a T-Series tank with a NATO 120?
A T-55 with a bustle-loaded 125?
Hell, better base metal armour because better metallurgy was used?
Let’s not even mention the vehicles we don’t even have in game yet, in any fashion, used by UA and present in the tree
Not that having a T-64A and a T-64B(V) qualifies the T-64 series as being fairly represented, for example
OSA AKM, Nona, BTR-3/4, BRDM-2s, Ukrainian BMP-Ts, BMP-64, all sorts of Tank-IFV combinations.
- Even if we ignore the 5-line technical game limitation for the USSR tech-tree, a Ukrainian subtree isn’t realistic. Too much bloating in each rank (with 1-2 vehicles added per) and too much imbalance ant the top-tier even adding only the most notable UA vehicles from each line of the tech-tree.

Please name all Ukraine vehicles that can be add that are not Soviet or NATO origin.

Personally, I think it’s not that bad and adding T-80UD as a premium (if such addition was unavoidable) to USSR tree was the best possible solution:
- It marks the rarity of this vehicle and its limited use in USSR/Russia. While tank was manufactured in Ukrainian SSR (and should belong to Ukraine’s TT), most tanks were delivered to RSFSR territory, where they participated in some historical events (like shooting at “White house” in 1993 events) and then all of those new tanks (hundreds of them) in RF were scrapped after less than a decade of service due to inability of RF to maintain them.
- Current addition doesn’t automatically excludes T-80UD from future Ukraine (one and only manufacturer) and Pakistan (main operator) Tech Trees. It will all happen eventually.

That is a terrible way to measure things.
Modifications of vehicles should be judged by how differently they perform from other vehicles in the game.
Ukrainian vehicles are very much their own as user Suppie said, regardless of their origins.
Hell, nevermind the fact that Ukraine was one of the foremost Soviet territories and was one of the hearts of armament production of the USSR, with many Soviet designs hailing from the territories… “Name Ukrainian stuff but exclude it when made by Ukrainians.”

Yes. You are right but the most Ukrainian vehicles aren’t that different from what we have in game. I’d love to see some of the T-64s replaced by upgraded Ukraine one’s but they are still USSR vehicles so there is no point to a new tech tree. A small sub tree might be cool or like a premium T-84 Oplot and of course there are some cool ad hoc vehicle you could add.

What’s the point of separating them at that point?
That was my point to begin with man. Sorry if I didn’t express that clearly.

If a country has enough of such unique products it is worthwhile to have a grander addition than just having a couple of vehicles shoved somewhere randomly.
I find this to be the case for UA
