Could we ever see this in game?
How would it perform?
What br would it be?

Probably not for the next few years. Also blur out the faces of the soldiers. Don’t ask me why, it’s just a rule on the forums. And for BR, probably around the same as the basr 2A4. Since it doesn’t have that much extra protection compared to the base model (as far as i know, correct me if I’m wrong)

Blurred the faces thanks for telling me.
As far as I know the only ERA that they put on this thing is the Soviet Kontakt-1, they prioritize their Nizh for their massive amount of leopard 1a5
No.

No, it’s not even Ukrainian lol.
It’s Leopard 2A4 from NATO, with anti-drone reactive armor upgrades, etc.
I mean all the images as far as I’m aware are all in Ukrainian service so it is Ukrainian operated and modified, just not built.
As for the original question, I would probably guess a few years once fighting stops for most Ukrainian vehicles to be added, though I could see the BMP-1U and BTR-94 and maybe the AB-13 and Scorpion Kasket via export additions should those nations be added. Maybe the Mirage 2000-5FU since it was French modified.
I would rather the Ukrainian vehicles stick together though.

Will they be returned after the war ends?
Most of their top tier lineup would just be copy-paste Leopards, Abramses, and Bradleys that we already have in the US and German trees.
Adding identical vehicles with just a different digital camo doesn’t bring any unique gameplay value.
Gaijin would likely prefer adding countries with authentic vehicles like Czechoslovakia has ShKH vz. 77 or Zuzana 2
No mention any of the Ukrainian IFVs, anti air and local made/modified MBTs?

Not yet; we don’t have UA representation for now anywhere, hopefully not the way Canada/Australia was (and partially still is) represented through several TTs.
Leo2A4 with ERA would be close to the base 2A4 kinetic protection-wise, but should be better against chemical (even though almost all ATGMs at those BRs are tandem). However, from my understanding these ERA boxes are not just bolted on top of the base armor (at least on the turret) but on the steel plates – idk if it is mild steel or RHA/HHRHA similar to Leo1A5DK – therefore might have a little extra on top, but nothing significant.
Also they were using DM53 rounds, so maybe at a different BR due to ammunition

I don’t think he wanted to see a Ukrainian tech tree in the game. Just the variant modified by Ukrainian armed forces, the ERA to make it stand out from others Leopard 2A4’s.
As sub-trees yes.

We actually do, in the Japanese tech tree, in the Thai sub-tree. See BM Oplot-T and BTR-3E1.
I meant more like a playable nation, with flag, voicelines, decals/camos and stuff… (should’ve worded it properly)
We do have representation of vehicles through exports, which is true

No worries, just wasn’t that clear what you meant o7

Have you paid any attention to what they like to add in the last years, cause it ain’t unique vehicles that require new models
So then the Hungarian leopards are just German, then the Dutch f16 are actually American, then the Polish MiG 29 are Soviet. Where is the the logic? It’s operated in Ukraine, by Ukrainians, with Ukrainian modifications, therefore it’s Ukrainian
No because they were paid for by France
add ukrainian leo2a4/m1a1 as captured vehicles in the russian tree
Not much, as it has some extra ERA and Shields
Gaijin will never add a leopard to Russian tree.
Also that opens a whole pandora box of Russian vehicles in a future possible Ukrainian tree
