My personal Thoughts on the china tech tree(and all tech trees in general)
I see alot of wasted potentional in the tech trees in this game!

Alot of stuff could be awsome, but instead its medicore!

So il start for one
I feel all tech trees should have advantages and disadvantages

So the advantage of the german tech tree for example would be helicopters at rank 3 and earlier jets and high tech weapons. At lower BR,s

But at the cost of slightly more expensive RP(or Silver lion cost)

The pay off however is you get rank2-3 helicopters and it lets you research helis early.

an advantage the US tech tree(or china) Would have is once you research something like the M24 chaffe, then you get the M24 chaffe for all tech trees that have it.

So if you get the M24 for americans you also get it for japan(at no additional charge) And that lets you jump into the middle of the japan tech tree, this is something armoured warfare did with its Israel tech tree, where once you get the abrams(which the first variant is mid game in that game) you can research the later Israeli tanks or you can jump into the middle of Wolfies tech tree(Tanks in the AW roaster all come from arms dealers who sell vehicles from various factions, wolfie for example sells NATO vehicles mainly, but she has stuff like the BMP series)

But what im saying is that it would make grinding much more enjoyable if you had tech trees that crossed paths with each other, so if for example I don't like the german tech tree at later tiers, then I can buy a tank I researched in that tree and jump to the middle of the american tree.

Since China is a cross nation tech tree I feel the same way here.

Also once you fully research a tank in AW then you sometimes get a choice between 2 options that you can buy from the next lineup. The grind in AW is much better (IMO) then war thunder, I played the game for about a month and with hardwork I got to tier 7(Which is where the first T90 comes into play)

Now I understand war thunder is different then games like World of tanks or AW when it comes to the tech tree,s but I feel if this game wants to survive, then the tech tree needs to evolve into a tech web, complicated? Yes, more enjoyable? I certainly think so!

I feel the top down rigid structure of war thunders tech tree is too simple and boring as you need to research in a straight line, but why not have it to where, when you unlock 1 tank for research, you get 2-3 to chose from?

Like even world of tanks has some elements that war thunder should take into account. Now there is some praise to be made to gaijin, for one, you don't have to use the same tank for 20 battles in a row, but you can use all your tanks or planes for research.

But Im just upset with how frustrating the grind can be, now I may not know everything and I would like to hear your imputs.

China is the next tech tree to be coming to war thunder, but most of the vehicles are just vehicles from other nations tech tree,s thats why I posted this and im pretty sure vehicles from china will not help with research for other tech tree,s

it is something many other players have considered
I have a very gaijin suggestion (in non-WT speak a suggestion involving ripping off people with obscene prices for random bits of designer code)

they should add 5 premium tanks for rank V
-a heavy
-a medium
-a TD
-a SPAA
-and a Light tank

then make it so that if you buy one of these tanks, that line of vehicles is now researchable. This would allow players that don't want to play through the WW2 period to buy their way into top-tier in a more real way than trying to grind to it with a rank V/VI premium.

obviously, the suggested premiums will have to be semi average / pretty bad so that they don't break the game,(will also motivate bad players to invest in more premium time = more money for gaijin and more chance they will let us do something like this)

also brings in a greater influx of new players for me to steamroll :steamhappy:

what do you lot think?
youre playing a progressionbased F2P game, ofcourse the grind it gonna be tough, youre suppose to invest in premium account,and spend money on talismen.

I don't mind the grind, but theres good grind and bad grind, good grind is when its enjoyable and it picks up again right when it starts to get boring, bad grind is when its boring, dull and tedious.

There are some parts of the war thunder grind that are super fun, but others, like mid game can be dull and boring.
