Or there should be vehicle based match making, solving this prob and solving cold war germany etc.
Separate nato and eastern and whoever brings tanks from both in one line up cannot enter to matchmake

Lets solve ww2 first since thats backed by actuall wars. Eeastern german never fought the western one only was prepared to do so.

Шведы вместе с финнами должны быть на стороне немцев, как это и было во время WWII.

да 👍, (needed translate) but yes.

The guy you replied to made sense though? Nations need to be split up if you want real sim battles, that’s true even in ww2.

Direct example:

Air sim has the same issue.

I was flying Yak-1s last night and I saw a Bf109. Germany is on my side. I am fighting america and britain. Friend, right? Moments later, I was dead. Why? American Bf109. Later I saw a teammate cry for help. Bf109 on bf109 action. Had no idea which was which until the camo finally rendered and it wasnt just silhouettes.

Tonight I flew the bf109-F4. I saw a B-25j. I flew to intercept. Blue marker showed up - china.

Well china might be devided before and after ww2. Not in ww2 as they only fought japanese. (i mean realistically speaking they had no tanks what so ever in ww2 so…)

And italy still was axis majority of war simmlar tho finland.

Yes, but they both have POST-WAR equipment that makes IFF very annoying/impossible.

Like, it’a s similar situation as Sweden (ignoring Finnish subtree) - it’s post-war stuff but BR-wise it falls into WW2

Thats why the splitting nation is bad idea imo. I would just put the finland/sweden to axis till like rank III since there is simply no reason for them to be on side with soviets.

Honestly i doubt this suggestion will be considered as this essentially is all about a subtree, i doubt gaijin will put finland on to the axis side since finland is a subtree and not a main tree. It makes no sense why the US has Iranian F14 which fight against russia but again i think if finland was the parent nation it would have been Axis but sunce the majority of the tree is swedish i doubt gaijin will move them.

Poor argument. Historically speaking, Sweden and Finland both were VERY close to the Axis Powers. Sweden by all accounts was in the axis, without being in the axis.

I fail to understand your point regarding this, by all regards Finland was a member of the Axis for around 83% of the war? Considering they joined the Allies in October 1944. Sweden, as mentioned before, while neutral on paper, much more closely aligned itself with the Axis powers for most of the war.

Get your facts right before you shove your nose into something like this with poor arguments.

I, on the other hand agree with this post and it’s proposal.

I see that you do.
War thunder game engulfs much more than “the war”
We have vehicles from 30s to 2010? iirc. 80 year period (or even more), not 5 year period.

They specifically detail WW2-era sim battles, so this is irrelevent. They are correct - sweden/finland should be on the axis side during this time.

Yeah, this whole proposal is about ww2 era… I dont really give a f about modern stuff anyway. Is it that hard to read the title?

Even up to the modern day they are on the same side as former axis nations. Germany, Italy, Sweden and Finland are all in NATO, and Japan is aligned with the west. The only real grey zone is how Sweden and Finland were neutral during the cold war, and even then they both leaned more towards NATO than the Soviet Union.

… Are you missing the fact that he’s talking about WW2 era of ground simulator battles? Did you read the title of the post?
