War Thunder's lack of a UK tree

Machinery of War Discussion
1

In War Thunder there is many nations, USA, Germany, Japan. But no United Kingdom. What we have in game is called “Great Britain” and to anyone who probably did Geography would know that Great Britain isn’t a country. It’s an Island. Why? Why not have the USA called “America”? Or “USSR” named to “That part of Asia and Europe”? Why isn’t Japan called “Japanese archipelago”? Or Taiwan called “The island of Taiwan”? I think it’s time that the UK comes to the game.

Should Gaijin rename “Great Britain” to: His Majesty’s United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (or the UK for shot)?
  • Yes (God save the King)
  • No (I serve the Soviet Union)

It's even correct on the flag they have in game.

All jokes aside we should get our proper names and flags since it’s no longer a WW2 game

rename it to “commonwealth”

UK/GB is not the right name anymore, with the amount of not british nations within that tree and brits are even crying for more nations

which you already do

No, the Europeans and others call it “Russia”. So if the name “Great Britain” doesn’t suit you, then let it be called “England” 😂

That’s not really considerate to all of the Scottish and Welsh people who are proud to be in the UK. Too bad all Ex-USSR countries hate the USSR. And Russia.

Probably could rename the USSR to Russian SFSR

It still should be UK , from what I am seeing it is more about where and when the tech tree start. Not the present time , so USSR/UK still acceptable. I understand where you coming from but it is better as of now cause there are vehicle of other nation in their tech tree (like exported vehicle,…). It would be fine to rename them but I don’t think it is that important

Ireland is a Republic, with an Illegally occupied territory.

That would only be true if Ireland was a republic in 1914. Which the game technically starts at because we have Dreadnaughts in the game

It’s Great Britain, cause it doesn’t include Northern Ireland in War Thunder.

Why? Its official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain was predominantly used as shorthand until the 1960’s, when they instead started using the UK as shorthand. When people said GB they were referring to the kingdom not the landmass.

18

And that is true. But the USA Isn’t called America. The USSR isn’t called the Soviet Union. Germany… I guess German Reich isn’t on the cards so that’s why it’s just “Germany”. Why is the UK the only country to not have the proper name?

change it to British Empire and then you don’t need to concern yourself with this

Why would you want to even rename Germany that when we go to the modern era? Doesn’t make sense. The famous German Reich Leopard 2.

im also thinking its best to rename it to the commonwealth tree. apart from just the british, it now contains an entire south african branch, we can probably expect more indian vehicles, canadian, khalid for jordan. i wouldnt even be suprised of poland could end up in the commonwealth tree, since they already have polish vehicles here and there.
