Why is it "Confirmed"(cuz it's from a leak list) Asean going to china?

So in short:

  • Japan loses subtree options they need to fill roles and holes that cannot be filled theough domestic equipment
  • China gets cheap band aids to fix problems that could’ve been solved by fixing or adding their domestic stuff, and fill holes that more reasonable subtree nations could’ve filled too
  • All of ASEAN get thrown into China because somehow even close enough ties to NATO to buy F-35 gets outweighed by political argument Gaijin usually wants to avoid

How in their right mind do they think this is the controversy they can get away with? There is nobody to defend them…

The truly funny thing is when Chinese players have to play Leopards instead of 99A to have good experience at top tier. In the Chinese tree.

But make sure not to play Chinese tanks, because I doubt Gaijin will fix their issues when they can just argue “but you have Leopard 2!”

Nobody wins here…

why nobody is talking about SK sub tree to USA? T-80 and BMP-3 for USA?

Gods I hope this isn’t real

not only that, ASEAN itself partly was created to combat expansion of communism after NK, Vietnam and China lmao
Now it just straight up goes to communist China

Yeah, its a horribly illogical decision that brings up current geopolitical controversy in a way Gaijin should avoid.

And all pf that for something that doesn’t even benefit Chinese players. There is a rumor this was requested by sponsors in China, but whoever that is is certainly not acting in the best interest of Chinese players, but rather trying to push a political decision that has no place in game.

Chinese “One china” lmao
Thats probably it

I don’t think so, considering not a single ASEAN nation is part of China or even claimed to be China.

I guess it might be that a subtree for China was demanded (in exchange for sponsorship), so gaijin took their planned subtree for Japan and moved it over.

It is probably just poor judgement, but maybe Gaijin get’s it fixed before it makes international media for coming across as politically charged as it does.

what discord is this?

48

I was joking, im sure they definitely want to expand within ASEAN

Singapore and Philipines belong to the Israeli TT (Israel literally is the entire reason why Singapore exists and Philipines rely on Israeli weapons). Beyond that, I don’t care. Japan and Chna can take the rest.

Another leak shows that china is getting a singaporean 2A4 as a squadron vehicle if it’s real then i am extremely dissapointed in gaijin

You know it’s a troll when they think that Gaijin is going to backpedal on the economy changes we fought for in 2023 lol

If ASEAN really does go to China, i really wonder whether gaijin realize just how big of a international shitfest they’re about to receive. They couldn’t even handle a swarm of negative online reviews and now they’re tryna get the entirety of SEA to go after them? I’m not really surprsed anymore since this is something only the geniuses at snail HQ can come up with…

Also, i don’t play China or know much about their gear but don’t they have a quite alot of potential vehicles to juice their tree up with? Like hell, if they really wanted to add subtrees why not NK or Pakistan?

Japan with ASEAN makes more sense, would be cool if they went with the modern SEATO route with ASEAN + Japan + South Korea.
