Spain would most likely got to italy or france if it were to become a sub tree
Spain was also probably the more preffered sub tree choice for italy if you ask most italian mains since they actually had relations even after WW2

Brazil would’ve been a far superior sub-tree for Italy than Hungary, Spain, Romania or any other country one might think of adding to them
As spaniard i have to say: with France no please.

Imho you presented with these nations exactly the reason why wt needs a rework.
There is nothing wrong with trees and sub-trees - it is a matter of allocation of these nations to historical and political facts and timelines. And to change them at the right point of time; otherwise nations are just randomly allocated to historical or current allies or playing vs historical or current allies.
So instead of trying to fill line up gaps with subtrees it would make much more sense to allow multi nation line ups which were somewhere near reality.
I see countries like Spain with imho a minor contribution to WW2 (Blue squadron, Escuadrilla Azul) rather on a waiting list, but for countries like Poland things are complicated - invaded by Germany and the USSR, occupied and later joining the USSR, then Warsaw Pact member and them Nato member. And even more complicated if you look at France or Italy in WW 2 - fighting for both sides at the same time.
And this list goes on and on…so if your play wt as a war game these fantasy allocations within the MM are killing any connection to reality.

While I understand what you’re saying, I don’t quite get how it applies to the point I’m making.
My point was that all these nations could function separately from any other nations already present in game, thus eliminating the issues that arise when discussing them as sub-trees.
The point was aimed at the allocation of nations in the MM at different point of times - so even if certain nations would have “complete” lineups - the majority has not.
So i fully support everybody which want to see his nation in the game, but i see the need (for a somehow comprehensible war game) putting them into correct alliances. And if the nation is too small - allow multinational line ups to avoid further fantasy vehicles created just for the sake of filling gaps…
Idk how much of a good idea this is but I think that Spain should be added as a proper Italian subtree. They can fill it out especially at the higher ranks where Spain would be able to provide the Hornets and Phantoms since Italy never used anything but the Starfighter lmao
Not to mention giving Italy a proper MBT at top tier (Leopard 2E) and also fleshing out the lineup with the myriad of modified Spanish vehicles like AMX-30E, M48A5E (several variants), and M47E. Could be pretty interesting and maybe make Italy feel like an actual playable nation at the high ranks.
And the Centuaro VRCC is already in the game so there is some precedence.
Yes,spainish vehicles should be a to Italy.

Some kind of neutral powers tree?
My take would be an Iberian tech tree, with 2 branches:
-
Spain: Not only with Spanish vehicles, but Argentine, Venezuelan, and basically any hispanoamerican vehicle.
-
Brazil: Plus a Portuguese sub-branch, in case they’ve got something interesting.

No…? Literally zero domestic designs…
Would just make some spanish happy and nothing else.
And i am not just saying it because i believe that it’s not meant to be in WT, but i am also saying it because i am sure that GAIJIN is not willing to spend money on a short line subtree with some copy paste NATO vehicles…
man i hate to break it to you but the only one with some domestic designs is brazil, because of embrear, but they are not a lot either.
All the nations you listed have never even wanted to make their own vehicles…
ASCOD?
Verdeja?
HA-220?
CASA C.101?
VBL?
And we’re really going to ignore all of their fun modifications?
Life must be easy when you don’t research anything.

Er no it doesn’t, not unless we are having Galleons in Naval :)

Just for rank 7, they could get the f4c, the f1c/e/m, the f5a and mirage III, and maybe the regular ab8b, but i dont think that we will actually see them at least for a long while due to the Hungarian sub tree
To be fair, Sweden does actually have a wealth of military vehicles to draw upon, enough so that you can have a reasonably fleshed out TT even if its on the smaller side. Spain, from my (admittedly cursory research) doesn’t have anywhere near enough vehicles for a properly fleshed out tech tree. Its got enough for a couple ground premiums and maybe a naval subtree.

They’d be fair on basically all fronts.
In aviation they’d have a decent amount of modifications of aircraft as well as a few local airframes, including a jet trainer with armament.
For ground they have several domestic options, but also heavily modified foreign vehicles.
For naval I think it speaks for itself.
Only helicopters is slightly lacking, but with how little heli producers there actually are I think that’s forgiveable.
