Why Canada Should Be a U.S. Sub-tree in War Thunder

That doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. Copying text from my suggestion is taking the easy way out.

Thank you for telling me that’s actually a really good solution that I didn’t think of!

Sorry, but they should be in the British tree just like Australia.

In WW2 they produced British vehicles as well as their own, they fought with British & Commonwealth Forces, and were under British command. After WW2 just like Australia, still recognize the Crown as their Head of State.

Also, sorry, but there are also far more Canadian vehicles in the British tree. There’s the:

  • Ram I (being added soon)
  • Ram II
  • Skink
  • ADATS
  • QF 3.7 RAM
  • HMCS Terra Nova
  • HMCS Brantford
  • HMCS Haida
  • MTB-460 (Incorrect nation bug report awaiting action)
  • Prendergast’s Spitfire (Incorrect nation bug report awaiting action)
  • CF-188A (being added soon)

All the US has is the:

  • Stuart VI (5th CAD)
  • M4A5
  • Skink & Premium “Pacific” Skink (still hilariously bad in historical terms that one)

The only thing that I agree with you is the fact all of the Canadian vehicles should be in one tree. Just not the one you’re suggesting.

What was the “gap or need” for the Canadian Leopards to go into the German tree? I don’t think they lack for their own Leopards or need Canadian Leopards.

I’m sure Gaijin must understand the frustration of Canadian and Australian players when you’re expected to grind out multiple trees just to use your nations vehicles. Might have been fun to make a line up with the Canadian Leopards and Canadian Hornets, or the Australian Abrams and Australian Hornets.

They wanted a 11.7 premium for the German tree that was also well known.

At the same time Britain didn’t have any “gap or need” when it comes to 11.7 MBTs.

Domestic options exist, such as:

Also the Leopard 2 KVT.

That’s 12.0 material, so can’t be a premium (yet).

Except that you can’t. The C2A1 is a event vehicle, the 2A4M CAN is a premium, none of which are grindable. The M1A1 AIM is a squadron vehicle which you can purchase or grind without ever having a single RP in the US tree. You can access all Canadian and Australian vehicles without ever having to grind any tree outside of Britain.

Didn’t realize we were promoting single vehicle lineups now.

The Canadian examples are some of the more unique and different ones to the standard German ones.

For events, vehciles need to be interesting so that people actually want them rather than “just another leopard”.

Similarly for the premium 2A4, Germany already had premium Leos. So something more unique was required, and with the existing Canadian event Leopard, it lined up nicely.

Look, I appreciate you responding to me. I really do.

As I said above, it’s just frustrating to a lot of us Australian’s and Canadians that we don’t just get a single nation to have all our vehicles. A lot of us was hoping with the news regarding the British tree reshuffle, the mention of a Commonwealth line, and the new Canadian and Australian vehicles we might have seen a shift in the official stance.

We dont rule out that more Canadian and Australian vehicles will come to the British tree. But that wont impact those that are already in other trees for those that own them.

disregarding Canda here.
Australia is in the Five Power Defence Arrangement (FDPA) alongside New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Great Britain which is a military alliance. Would that not immediately say that they should all be under the same British tech tree?

No. There are many international agreements and treaties in reality, however these are not relevant in game.

Hell no, Britain doesn’t need vehicles from 7 nations.

Little late to say that (there already are vehicles from 7 nations in the British tree)

Luckily the British tree is only the home tree for 3 nations so I’m still happy.

Canada and Australia are still not full sub nations.

Tbh with the kuwait and new Zealand vehicles in the tree as well that people always forget about (although in fairness both are somewhat forgettable vehicles in game wise)

The Desert Warrior and the Strikemaster are in the British tech tree because they are British-built vehicles.

Since a) Britain doesn’t operate the Desert Warrior or any of the Strikemaster variants
and b) Kuwait and NZ aren’t subtrees, both of these vehicles were added to the British tree.

The placement of these vehicles doesn’t mean that future Kuwaiti and NZ vehicles would be limited to the British tree (e.g. a Kuwait Abrams or a Kiwi A-4 are more likely to be added to the US tree than the British tree)

The placement of the Saudi Lightning or the Polish Sherman Firefly and the ORP Garland are similar examples
