What to Expect from a Potential Danish-Norwegian Subtree (Ground & Air)
As War Thunder continues to expand and embrace minor nations through subtrees—like South Africa for Britain or Hungary for Italy—it’s not far-fetched to imagine a Danish-Norwegian subtree being added, likely under the Swedish (Scandinavian) tech tree.
Here’s a breakdown of what such a subtree might realistically include in terms of air and ground forces:
🇩🇰 Denmark – Air Forces
Gloster Meteor F.8 (Danish)– British jet operated by Denmark, with national markings.
F-100D Super Sabre – Used by Denmark with some local modifications.
F-104G Starfighter & F-16A MLU – Standard NATO jets, used extensively.
SAAB T-17 Supporter– Light trainer aircraft, could serve as a low-tier prop.
🇳🇴 Norway – Air Forces
Republic F-84G Thunderjet– Operated by Norway, typical NATO configuration.
F-86F Sabre– Used post-WWII by Norwegian forces.
F-16A Fighting Falcon– In service with local upgrades.
De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI & Spitfire Mk.IX– Used in the early post-war years.
🇩🇰 Denmark – Ground Forces
Leopard 1A5-DK – Danish variant of the Leopard 1 with unique optics and features.
Centurion Mk.V – Early Cold War tank used by Denmark.
M113G3DK with 20mm autocannon – IFV conversion, good for light support roles.
Few indigenous designs, but some unique local modifications.
🇳🇴 Norway – Ground Forces
CV9030N – Norwegian version of the CV90 IFV with a 30mm cannon.
Leopard 2A4NO / Leopard 2A7NO– Modern MBTs with Norwegian upgrades.
NM135 Stormpanservogn– M113 chassis with a 20mm turret, used as a light support vehicle.
TOW-launchers on light vehicles – Including armored jeeps and M113 platforms.
Summary & Expectations:
A Danish-Norwegian subtree would fit naturally into the Swedish tech tree and could provide strong mid- to high-tier vehicles. Early tiers would likely rely on standard Allied/NATO vehicles (e.g., Shermans, Chaffees, Spitfires, Sabres), but with national camouflages and slight differences.
Key Highlights:
- Heavy NATO focus with local adaptations.
- Strong potential in Rank V–VII with modern IFVs and MBTs.
- Great synergy with existing Swedish vehicles (especially the CV90 series).
- Fewer native designs, but lots of variety in upgrades and equipment.
Final Thoughts:
A Danish-Norwegian subtree wouldn’t bring many “new” or experimental vehicles, but would offer a unique national flavor to familiar platforms. For players who enjoy NATO gear, Cold War aesthetics, or just want to complete a Scandinavian lineup, this subtree could be a perfect fit.
What do you all think about it? Should we get this, or is it too soon? As a Sweden main, I think the ground lineup is okay, but it still needs more air vehicles.
