Why was Pakistan given a Oplot

Huh? Pakistani trialed Oplot made configurated for them specifically, Pakistan became sub-tree for China (modern Pakistan and China are close arms partners), and Chinese TT can absolutely benefit from Pakistani Oplot as it is added on behalf of Pakistan

They don’t care about such offers. You can see it in my profile. The topic is not about takeaways, but still. I offered to make a choice of the tape - it was handed over to the developers and that’s it. As long as the Chinese players bring them money and are happy that they have been given another friendship, they will not stop.

A) Gaijin already had the asset (or most of it, not familiar with differences between Thai and Pakistani versions)
B) It was trialed by Pakistan
C) Pakistan is pretty much a subtree in China
D) Manufacturer isnt in the game (and likely wont be in the foreseeable future)

I’d say there too many people playing chinese tree just like the USSR tree… There vehciles are quite great as well. So people spent more money on a TT that they can grind without suffering too much just like the USSR tree.

The current in game vt-4 is under the Chinese flag not the Pakistan flag. Because it is a Chinese origin vehicle

The current VT-4 and VT-4a1 are the models shown in the Zhuhai export shows. Pakistan’s VT-4 variant is called the Haider and not in the game yet. No country has bought the VT-4a1 yet, so it makes sense for the two current VT-4s to have a Chinese flag. The Thai VT-4 is a different configuration for the VT-4 than the ones that exist in the game. You can google pictures of them.

Pakistan and China have a very close relation, much closer of a relations than their historical relation with UK.

I mean, they straight up added a Mi-35 into the tree a while back instead of the Soviet tree. If that doesn’t tell explain the relationship between China and Pakistan, I don’t know what can

You’re right, and that’s terrible.

China gets a Thai VT4 and then also a Pakistani Oplot- a vehicle they chose to buy the VT4 over.
Guess some executive at Gaijin has decided that they really need to capitalize on the Chinese market…

Is it T-84 Oplot or the T-84UD? Pakistan operated 320 T-84UDs, they where considering the Oplot to replace them but went with the VT-4 instead.

It’s not weird considering britain doesn’t need it. Regardless of any IRL ties the UK has, it shouldn’t go into the tech tree

T-80U was only trialed by Sweden, they never bought it.

because the British already have Indian vehicles, and so the Pakistani vehicles were left for another nation.

I might be missing something but please explain to me how is one of the only two TT with only four instead of five lines overcrowded?

Does Pakistani ground forces opreate any UK-designed MBT now?

It is a Chinese design but some of it are sold to Thailand?

Because Gaijin caters to the Chinese. Just as the Chinese are given early leaks, unlike any European community.

This is the dilemma of any online game. Most paying X group thinks they should decide the most about the game, often bending balance for their interests.

If you think China is given special treatment, I have a bridge to sell you.

USA, China, France, Japan, etc aren’t given special treatment just because they’re given neat stuff.

as a pakistani, i strongly condemn such an idea.

did we not spill enough in our efforts of independence to just be thrown back in?

i would prefer if you didnt take up your tongues in our stead.
we can speak just fine ourselves.

we are fine where we are.
russia has no relation to the Oplot. it is a post USSR creation.

Pakistan trialled it, demanded a specific variant with specific modifications, ukriane made it for us. that is enough.

Yes they are. Trial vehicles are huge exceptions.

In the Chinese case, they should better not get foreign vehicles from sub trees before that Thai VT-4 gets implemented.

Something called “dealing with it” is really helpful in this situation

We don’t have a RU TT in the game.
Oplot, like many other UA tanks are based on USSR designs and as such are directly linked to that nation.

Trialed vehicles shouldn’t be a thing in the game.
