people said the exact same thing because swedish centurion in the british tree and now we’re here where sweden has an air tree, tank tree, and heli tree. Just because gaijin adds one-off vehicles from certain nations does not mean that the nation will not come.
Also, this comes from the server with relatively accurate leaks.
This is a different situation though, not only has the romanian OSA been added, but the Romanian IAR-91, (one of Romanias most iconic aircraft) has also been added into ITALY as well, besides the tech tree in general is a really bad idea, there are too much vehicles from each nation meaning the whole thing will be limited, or you can look at it from a different perspective, you can have some sort of Visegrad union (Poland, slovakia and the Czech Republic, not sure about Hungary), and then you can have Yugoslavia, what will happen to Ukraine? No idea.(Basically splitting the leak into half)
Was that edited one or the original one? The leak was updated several times, and various things were changed or removed. I sort of recall Romania might have been one of the things changed. But yeah, either way if true, it definitely could be a neat addition
An Oplot variant specific to Pakistani requirement. (not adopted, VT-4 Haider was inducted instead)
Essentially weight was reduced in comparison to standard BM Oplot config.
The thick Duplet ERA sideskirts that cover the whole length was replaced with a lightweight sideskirts that cover only the frontal half of the hull. (likely Nizh, since thinner).
The varta soft-kill APS was also removed.
Dont think Pak sub tree will get implemented proper, instead some of the Pak unique vehicles might get introduced as premiums/event/BP. Like the Pak’s uniqueT-80UD with welded turret.
And since this is a vehicle just trialed by Pakistan, has lower chance (not zero) of getting added to China.
But since, it’s just another Oplot variant, it naturally can get added to Ukrainian TT/subtree. Similar to British Challenger 2E.
T80 U was an exception as stated by Gaijin, not the norm … And Sweden also trialed Abrams, Leclercs … those won’t be added
Similarly, UK trialed Leopards & Abrams ~ wont be added
And Pakistan also trialed M1A1 Abrams in the late 80s
Well, the developers of the game showed their current position by adding the FAB-3000 UMPK to dev server and other types of those bombs into files, so we can probably not expect the addition of Ukrainian equipment, and even more so a whole branch of equipment in the game
I think this is a bit of an exaggeration. The addition of this weapon is 100% motivated by the russian part of the community (like this wonder weapon will crush all Western equipment due to ongoing events) but the practical significance of this bomb in game situations is… doubtful (in GRB it is a purely bomb for funnies, maybe in ARB it will be good for destroying bases but for that you still need to get there).
However, to say that they are affirming their negative attitude to the Ukrainian equipment with this - I think not (again, the weapon was added not so much for practical purposes as because of hype from the russian segment).
Therefore, I would not count this thing as something that will obliterate the concept of Ukrainian TT – and equipment as a whole – in the game
<>russian and maybe all of post-USSR countries military symbols are in game, but not Ukrainian
<>devs avoid adding Ukrainian equipment into the game even when it was accepted as suggestion as long as 6 years ago on old forum (only Ukrainian thing in this game rn is Falarick ATGM)
<>now, for Su-34 they add weapons which were made this year (FAB-3000 UMPK) and 2023 (all other variants of UMPK)
“affirming their negative attitude to the Ukrainian equipment with this - I think not”
I think they do, unless they just decided to add all of equipment from this ongoing war, which includes all of Ukrainian tech
