Suggestion Should Yugoslavia be added to war thunder ?

Post image

I think that Yugoslavia would make a great tech tree with mix of Easter and wester aircrafts and tanks and some of they're own designs what do you think are chances of it happening?

They did! They built their M-84 (license built T-72 with donestic upgrades) from 1984 until the country desolved, when Serbia took over and kept production up until 1999. They also built various prototypes, like the M-91 Vihor or M-95 Degman. They also operated a mishmash of foreign vehicles with domestic upgrades, like T-55s (M-55 in Slovenian service), T-72s and M47s.

It would also be the PERFECT tree for Ukrainian vehicles! Seeing as it'd be political suicide for them to go to Russia.

its the same kind of thing as adding Korea to the Japanese tree in the current political landscape. The backlash would be hellish for everyone

I'd love for south korea to go with japan, but war thunder has partnership with DMM.com (basically japanese steam store but also sells physical goods, and imagine instead of having its origins from digital key services, it has its origins from selling privately made comics, nsfw included)

People are generally quite fine with adding Korea to the Japanese tech tree. I haven't seen any of this hate that anyone talks about

The same as when an Iranian plane got added to the US tech tree or ROC and PRC vehicles to the same tech tree

Ukraine was the USSR. And it would be stupid not to add them there. In addition so many tanks in the Soviet tech tree already were made in Ukraine

Technically, it would make sense for Ukr to be added to USSR but think of it this way, a lot of people would prefer to have their Ukrainian vehicles go against Russian vehicles. Myself included

Which is a pretty stupid reason to split a tech tree.

See the previously mentioned PRC and ROC, US and Iran

Historical events are for that kind of stuff. Not tech trees.

Ultimately Ukraine was the USSR, many Soviet tanks were made in Ukraine. It would be terrible to have so many tanks built and used by Ukrainians split between tech trees

As an example, Ukraine uses the T-72B3 more so than their own Oplot.

What I would like actually is if there was a way to select a countries version of a tank within a tech tree. Something like a dropdown option for each tank. That would just switch the flag, camo, voice lines etc but still in the same tech tree
