Ay but what if said nation operates a specific upgrade or variant to a vehicle (Say the little john locust)?
Also I really would’ve prefers Israel going to India but here we are now, Smin himself said it was a UK subtree.
If this version is identical to the version the Americans use, then yes, it could be a skin or premium for the USA. If it’s got any differences then it should go where most Australian vehicles go.
this comparison doesnt work. You would want to hypothetically remove all the F-16s from US TT. But theres no Abrams in the UK TT thats being removed in the first place.
Issue is, and I think I mentioned this in this thread already, that Canada and Australia arent proper subtrees.
Smin or someone stated somewhere (would need to dig for it) that Canada and Australia go wherever they deem neccesary.
id argue gaijin was testing the waters because they always saw the demand for germany to have the swiss as subtree and they were planning to do it anyway
I’m pretty sure the Hunter F.58 was added before the Swiss became a Sub-tree anyway, so by your logic it should’ve gone to the UK then, but it didn’t.
Either vehicles who’s operators don’t have a set home, in this case the Hunter F.58 (when it was added, pre sub-tree), and the M1A1 AIM, are added to their politically ‘closest’ trees, in this case, Ger, and UK respectively. OR they go to their manufacturer nation, the UK, and US.
You cant pick and choose on a per vehicle basis, that’s just going to lead to inconsistent results, which will lead to more arguments like this.
So your just totally against the US having unique vehicles? Just because it was exported to a couple countries doesn’t mean it can’t be unique to the US tech tree in-game
It should go with the rest of the Australian Abrams, where it belongs with the rest of the Abrams. The only difference is slightly worse armor and a slightly worse dart, both are internal and visually it’s about the same so it could be a skin, if not, it could be an event tank .3 lower than a really kitted out US Army SEPv3
you forget that its not we who give it the status of the undeclared subtree. gajin does it.
and i aint the one making the final decisions. unlike gaijin i prefer consistency (altho i admit i didnt know that 14/15 aussie vehicles are in britain), personally i wouldve given britain the entire aussie subtree officially and kicked out the indian and south african subtrees
Believe me, im at the forefront of those who utterly disagree with gaijins’ decisions for the most part.
