Please name all Israeli in-game vehicles that are not of Soviet or NATO Origin.
Please name all Chinese in-game vehicles that are not of Soviet or NATO Origin.
Please name all Hungarian in-game vehicles not of Soviet or NATO Origin.
Now let’s take this game even further ; since seemingly everything allowed in a tech-tree has to be both designed and built by the operator nation as an independent state (sorry T-64, moreso, sorry Morozov and KMDB)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from France.
(oops! sorry France, no American lend-lease, or trophy vehicles!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from Italy.
(oops! Sorry Italy, no German nor American vehicles in your lower ranks!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from Germany
(oops! sorry Germany, no full high-tier lineups until post 1990/1991 because you were divided after WW2!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from Japan.
(oops! Multiple vehicles with no replacement removed from Japan which already lacks lineups and a fleshed-out tech-tree!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from China.
(oops! entire tree gone!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from Sweden.
(oops! All top-tier MBTs gone! Almost half of the premiums, the only squadron vehicle removed and gaping holes left in the tree!)
Please remove all Soviet or NATO Origin vehicles from Israel.
(oops! tech-tree eviscerated until the top-tier!)
Here’s how I see it. It’s “too small” to be an independent tree. But too big to be a sub tree. If this was an independent tree. Could gaijin allow having an only ground tree? Because Ukraine’s air tree is slim to none.
Also into MBT list:
Serial vehicles:
T-64BVK zr.2021 (bit different from both T-64 you listed)
T-72AMT (there`s also a different version)
Non-serial/experimental vehicles
Early T-84 (Object 478 DU2) , which was one of the contestants for Greek MBT contract
Object 478 DU5 (Along with T-84-120 was a contestant for Turkish MBT contract)
Object 478 DU7 (contestant for malaysian MBT)
Object 478BEM-1(for the US with Drozd-1 Hard-kill APS)
Object 488 (Ukrainian Merkava)
its no ukrainian the t-80ud was a soviet tank produced and designed for soviet army it was used by russia after collapse aswell in smaller numbers but it was
Ukrainian T-90A with additional protection (Relikt+Kontakt 1).
Panorama image taken from the new video where this tank rescued another trophy T-90A from the mud with the help of BTS-4 recovery vehicle.
There was no purpose in keeping them. The entire point of the T-80UD was to expedite production to other union states to increase the production rate of the vehicle itself. The engine of the T-80UD was only built in Ukraine, and the powerpack was functionally and logistically inferior to that of the GTD-1000TF and its coupled transmission.
It… It was made in the SSSR. Plain and simple.
The hulls were produced in the RFSFR, while differing variations of the turret were produced in both the RFSFSR and the U’SSR.
Nobody’s claiming homogenous tech. The entire point of the T-80UD was to produce an equal alternative to the T-80U, making use of the higher hull production capacity of the Kirov plant, while making up for the downsides and low production of the GTD series.
Sweden gets a T-80U that’s functionally identical, and it’s a squadron vehicle. I don’t see why a premium would exclude it from any other tech tree that may come
