Apparently it wasn’t slated for China but I think they’ve realized how big is the chinese community and how much they can earn from it.
but lets say metaphorically the list was real wouldn’t the cn community (me included) rather have more domestic equipment?

Yeah but what’s easier to add? More indigenous model that require more modeling or a subTree with some modifications and few unique additions? Just take a look at the other subTTs.
I really hope that list is just a troll, cause half of those changes are awful

I hope the list is real. Splitting tech trees into ww2/post war is very needed.
Let’s make ww2 war thunder great again.

The issue is that they keep denying fixes for indigenous tanks. Just look at 99A and its current state. China doesn’t need ASEAN. They can get Pakistan and North Korea, most ASEAN nations have zero connection with China militarily. I worry for the day that you can play Leopard in China and it will be better than the nation’s own tanks. I find that unacceptable.

Welcome to WT, the italian community waited one or two years to have the Janus optic on the Freccia and yet they didn’t even bother to give it the thermal imager.

Honestly, I hope neither is correct, North and South Korea need to be their tree not subtree’s.

I know this is off topic, but potentially seeing both North and South Korea be implemented as 2 different subtrees would be insanely dissapointing.
North and South Korea have more than enough domestic designs to form a unified Korean tech tree, to see such potential go to waste would be heartbreaking.

I hope it’s fake because apart from the cluster bombs everything sucks
yep I would add complete with documents directly from Leonardo…
like china and taiwan they fight but they still put them together without any problems
Very different, both Koreas still want Korea to be unified, the governments, however…yeah…
CCP and Taiwan are a completely different case, the CCP considers Taiwan part of China while Taiwan aka the ROC has stated numerously that they are not nor consider themselves Chinese. But that’s more due to the Warlord Era aka Chinese Civil War, to put it simply.
CCP won, and ROC lost. Won’t go into the details, so I’m keeping it as simple as possible.
So it’s true, WT is dying.
I think Chinse subtrees are fair, I believe some ASEAN nations such as Myanmar or Laos would be very fitting alongside options like Pakistan or Bangladesh, but all of ASEAN and especially Indonesia and Singapore are a very bad decision.
There is no reason behind these specific nations being added to China based on their equipment or military cooperation, while they also feel very out of place as mostly NATO aligned countries in one of our two REDFOR trees. This makes the decision (intentionally or not) seem very political, which goes directly against Gaijin’s intention to stay apolitical.
It would be best to give China different, more fitting subtrees, while NATO aligned ASEAN nations either go to Japan as Gaijin seems to have originally intended, or an independent ASEAN tree if Japan is seen as controversial by the people from these nations.

I don’t even know what the point of this was
but also on a conceptual level
Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos and Pakistan all have at least one type of Chinese vehicle in service, so all are fairly good additions. ASEAN are a bit…Weird, and some of them aren’t really in good terms (especially Vietnam and Indonesia)

It’s a weird choice…
It seems even Chinese players would’ve preferred different nations for China, so I wonder who even wanted this.
It isn’t to keep ASEAN together, since Thailand is still likely going to Japan. Even of not, an ASEAN tree could’ve been made instead of adding this many nations to a tree that can easily get many others.
It just doesn’t seem logical at all…
