It’s not understandable, it doesn’t matter which country built the tank, it only matters which country’s forces it is in service for. The M1A1 AIM is the Australian Army MBT, it should be in the Great Britain tree along with all other Australian vehicles for the reasons I mentioned.

The British tree isn’t a commonwealth tree. It’d only make sense if it was unique to some extent, preferably Australian built like the Sentinel tanks. CAC Sabre is about the minimum uniqueness I’d say to be a British vehicle. But Britain getting Canadian Leopard 1s/2s and Australian Abrams and Indian T-72s/T-90s, Pakistani Type 90-IIs, Bangladeshi Type 15s, Jordanian Leclercs you can see how ridiculous this is, Britain would have EVERYONEs tanks.

The problem is, to someone like you who doesn’t really care where the M1A1 AIM goes, it doesn’t matter where it is. To someone like me who cares a great deal about playing the Australian vehicles, it’s extremely unfair for someone like you to say that it’s OK for my country’s vehicles to be split between different tech trees preventing me from playing them together in lineups. As the British tree is where Australian vehicles have been put, and it’s the most sensible place for them to be put, that is where ALL Australian vehicles need to be kept.
Why upset the only people to who the M1A1 AIM’s location actually matters?
If I didn’t care I wouldn’t bring it up, I’d prefer it stay US. Likewise I’m not very happy at all the South African vehicles in the UK tech tree. A separate combined commonwealth tree maybe.
They do feel like a replacement for what more homegrown vehicles could have been added instead. Then they put the Cent mk.2 in a Battle Pass ☹️ Oh, and the AEC being locked behind scarcity (I wouldn’t recommend it though, I never found much use for it).

The south africa tree was basically britian getting worse versions of their own stuff in literally every case, with the only good south African vehicles being the rooikat 105 and the class 3 p with the later not even getting into the British tree for some reason and gaijin now giving it a fictional th800 name to justify its inclusion in the german tree.

Eland is very good too tbh. Would have prefered Saladin 90
Though that is basically the AML-90? But yes replaces a Ratel asap in lineups.
If I recall correctly the SA line was a project by some third party enthusiasts (props to them) and so became a very low cost option to “fill in” some gaps, and now turn 8.3 into a HUGE lineup.
And both are trash compared to export prototypes mounting the Cockril 90, there is a warrior, spartan and stormer variant, and that is before you get to more obscure stuff.

At this point the brit tree really is a common wealth tree, the t-90s further proves this
I’m of the same opinion to be quite honest.
That being said, that doesn’t mean we can’t get our Lend Lease vehicles
most of which would really buff out the ground tree, the sherman III and V immediately come to mind
As a kiwi, I fear that when the MB339 arrives it will go to Italy and A-4K, well who knows?

United Kingdom needed T14 heavy tanks to replenish the 4.7 advanced queue
You can scratch Ram II off the list shortly. Still very disappointed how Gaijin are handling the US SPAA situation, incredibly lazy giving them a Skink. A vehicle the US had no hand in nor cared for.
Yeah I wanted T77 MGMC :(

Basically my opinion there are a few belter spaa that we might now never see in game
You can add the Canadian Leopard 2 to this list.
