Canada already has vehicles in the U.S. tree (Ram II and Skink), so expanding that into a full sub-tree is the logical next step.
• Stronger Allies & Neighbors: The U.S. and Canada have always fought side by side, share defense agreements like NORAD, and use much of the same equipment.
• Unique Vehicles Across All Tiers: Canada brings its own designs (Ram, Skink, AVGPs) plus modern Leopards, adding variety instead of copy-paste.
• Fixing U.S. Top Tier: U.S. MBTs aren’t meta right now. Adding Canadian Leopard C2/2A4/2A6 would finally give the U.S. a competitive Leopard to balance top tier.
• Easy to Implement: Canada is already partially in the U.S. tree, so Gaijin just needs to expand on what’s there.
Tldr: Canada as a U.S. sub-tree makes the game more balanced, more historical, and more fun.
No, no and no, sir. Respectfully, no. Canada was originally founded by Britain until it became it’s own nation, so if Canada is to become any sub-nation to anyone it should be Great Britain/UK and nobody else.
At the same time the argument can be made that they have enough hardware - some domestic, some C+P -to be introduced as a minor nation in the game. But a sub-tree to America? Absolutely not. Makes absolutely zero logical sense.
Here’s the biggest difference you’re missing here and I’ll keep it brief because of the deeply political nature of it; USA took its freedom by force because of gross mistreatment and corruption while Canada got its freedom democratically.
Naturally, for the last century plus everyone’s basically been all hunky dory and on the same team, however it would be extremely politically insensitive and ludicrously illogical to make Canada a sub-tree to USA. It’s not needed and it won’t happen, and it doesn’t need to happen.
And y’know. They were also in the tech tree beforehand, not a premium/event whatnot. Also the ADATS. Only reason we don’t have the leos is the same arguments yanks used to steal the Abrams.
Love how they’ll argue they’re terrible, but simultaneously hold the position Australian equipment should be in their tree like they’re fighting a small war when if the gear is so bad, why not put it in the Brit tree with the rest of our rubbish.
I personally don’t think Canada should be a subtree but rather vehicles for nations that need them. Germain originated vehicles for germany, American originated vehicles for the US and so fourth. Unless it’s domestically produced, that should go to britain.
