Yeah, I’m not a fool buddy, thank you, next!
And now list what isn’t copy paste, then you’ll see that the tree isn’t so bad after all
Buddy, you want me to list like 10 vehicles? No thanks, you won’t change my mind with “it’s different variants” or “it’s indigenous designs”, it’s the same bro.
There are plenty of countries or unions that can be added when looking at their content in an unbiased manner.
Ukraine is arguably one such country, because of their ridiculously good ground potential.
Aviation leaves quite a bit to be desired and there are superior options to Ukraine, but I assure you that pride often times isn’t really applicable, especially when the voter isn’t connected to the country in question.
Is Sherman Firefly copy paste?
I do not support Ukraine nor hate it, even though I live next to the country. It’s still copy paste, there’s maybe 4 or 5 actual from scratch vehicles, not some sort of BMP with a BMD hull
It is not in fact. It gets a different gun, a different and longer hull, different ammo, different reload.
Ukrainian modificationsof vehicles are often of similar scale, so why is that copy paste but Firefly isn’t?
You mean ukrainians putting soviet turrets on slightly altered soviet hulls? Yeah buddy, totally not copy paste. And that firefly remark. Compare the hull to other shermans, it’s completely different and is only 1 tank in an entire tech tree. Not the whole tech tree, next!
Soviet turrets like the locally developed KASKET or 120mm carrying turrets?
Regardless of whether the components existed beforehand, if they are put together in a configuration that hasn’t been seen before then it’s unique. This is per definition the truth.
Do Ukrainian engines, armaments, armours, transmissions and whole damn turrets mean nothing to you?
That just smells like selective bias.
And whether or not the Firefly is the only modification of a foreign vehicle in the tree (which it isn’t), what does it matter? It’s performance has been objectively and significantly altered, just like it is the case for Ukrainian vehicles.
Like it or not, Ukrainian tanks are unique because of these facts and because of the amount of these unique vehicles that can be added to Ukraine it would make for a (relatively) plausible tree.
And honestly, you don’t need to be a supporter of the tree to recognize it’s uniqueness either, but you do neither of these things.
Way to slander the engineers behind their products…
The ukrainian tech tree is not unique in anyway
With MiG-29 and Su-27 modernizations, they’re 1-off, sure, but it’s much like the numbers of the T-84. They add a lot to the aircraft, and they’re just as numerous as aircraft like the Su-25T/TM or the Russian MiG-29SMT.
That’s quite literally just a BMD.
Does that mean the VCC-80/30 is a copy/paste of the VCC-80/25? What about the Freccia / VBC?
An empty statement.
You will need to elaborate on that if you want to be considered valid.
Next :) ?
Ok so that’s 28(?). Now I need a count of all unique units
The fact that the textolite layer was replaced with an ERA layer does not mean that it has become less strong.
T-80UD with Drozd APS is literally BM Oplot 2000(Obj 478DU9) , just exported to U.S.
I’ll shut up
So now we are backtracking on previous statements?
Things are looking bleak for your argument…
Anyhow, namecalling is also quite revealing.
I am by no means a “ukraineboo”, I am simply calling out what is clearly wrong.
Yes, I do think Ukraine should be an independent tree, but I have also stated that I don’t think it is the best option to be the next independent tree. In fact, in regards to potential trees that I look positively towards this would be on the lower end.
This, right here. It’s more or less my opinion.
I do think the Ukraine tree is good however due to it being a partial tree I don’t want to see it soon.
Not until we see the 5-10 Rank 1 possible trees still and the better partial tree options.
