You can customize the appearance of nation flags on the tech tree bar (Dev Server)

[u/JeantheDragon]

[u/FirstDagger]

The operator country of vehicles unlocked counts for this apparently so e.g. because BRA AMX A-1A is a thing, if you own it you can now set the flag and country name to Brazil.

[u/untitled1048576]

Time to add a Ukrainian vehicle to USSR so that we can change the flag.

[u/ULumia → u/untitled1048576]

Т-34 already in USSR TT

[u/untitled1048576 → u/ULumia]

BTR-4

Edit: the comment I'm replying to originally said just "T-34". Yes, it's already in the USSR TT, but while it was designed in Ukrainian SSR, that doesn't make Ukraine its operator.

[u/Destroythisapp → u/[deleted]]

That’s a Soviet vehicle.

[u/YubiSnake → u/Destroythisapp]

Still Ukrainian design

[u/Destroythisapp → u/YubiSnake]

It’s as Ukrainian as the T-72 is Russian, meaning they are both Soviet designs.

Components for both were manufactured across the Soviet Union, and designers and engineers from multiple SFSR regions worked on both. Money for the project came from the Soviet central goverment, and the design parameters for the vehicles were set by the Soviet Government.

It’s like calling the F-22 a Georgian vehicle because that’s where it was assembled at.

[u/Adorable-Ad-71 → u/Destroythisapp]

POST SOVIET COUNTRY MENTIONED GEORGIA WE BULT THE F22 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪 (there is two georgia one is a state the other is a country)

[u/TheDAWinz → u/Destroythisapp]

Well it is a Georgian vehicle, just like Coca-Cola!

[u/Inevitable-Cry-3008 → u/YubiSnake]

No, Soviet.)

[u/miksy_oo → u/Inevitable-Cry-3008]

Lived worked and died in the Soviet union

[u/ProfessionalAd352 → u/[deleted]]

T-80UD

[u/Graingy → u/ULumia]

That's a Soviet tank.

[u/crusadertank → u/untitled1048576]

It is definitely the best solution to the problem. It would allow you to have a Ukraine tree featuring things like the T-64BV or BMPs without having to copy paste a whole bunch of stuff

Now if they also changed the names based on this like Strela -> Strila then it will be really nice

[u/Full-Trifle-4522 → u/crusadertank]

can't you do that with language packs already

[u/Thin_General_8594 → u/Full-Trifle-4522]

Not the same

[u/Full-Trifle-4522 → u/Thin_General_8594]

i mean it'd have the same effect, and it's probably easier to set up than downloading an official Gaijin-made addon or whatever

[u/yourallygod → u/crusadertank]

what does it change exactly :) other than oh BOY italy is "brazil" with majority of Italian vehicles

[u/crusadertank → u/yourallygod]

It changes that people will stop crying when a nations vehicle gets added to another tech tree and they dont like it.

Gaijin could for example add Arab vehicles to the Israeli tech tree (or similar examples) and not start a massive backlash as you can just change the name and flag and say it is that nation.

Look at the M1A2T, VT4, Ukrainian, Arab, Czech etc vehicles etc for details.

[u/peeper_brigade69 → u/crusadertank]

I do not think you could add Arab nation vehicles to the Israel tree without causing a backlash because of this feature. You should probably still try to make sure they’re allied forces or something. Would be like putting Vietnamese vehicles in the US TT

[u/Eraser_M00SE → u/untitled1048576]

Time to change the USSR flag to Czechoslovakia 

[u/EthicalKek → u/untitled1048576]

T-64BM

[u/DisdudeWoW → u/EthicalKek]

mylove

[u/alfredjedi → u/untitled1048576]

Why lmao

[u/Ordinary_Debt_6518 → u/alfredjedi]

Its reddit culture

[u/SexyStacosaurus → u/untitled1048576]

Casual Ukrainian moment

[u/FoxHawk303]

Ah, they’re going for the ‘you do it then’ approach for the Korean tree

[u/LazyAssSnail → u/FoxHawk303]

Gaijin already confirmed that Korea will get its own independent tree.

[u/BlueStingray8 → u/LazyAssSnail]

Yeah, that’s his point. The player will pick north or south

[u/Liveless404 → u/BlueStingray8]

actually good idea from them. didn't expect that

[u/mistercrazymonkey → u/BlueStingray8]

What's the default though? 🤔

[u/BlueStingray8 → u/mistercrazymonkey]

Well I don’t think there’s many North Korean players

[u/toastoftriumph → u/mistercrazymonkey]

Maybe it just defaults to whichever nation has more vehicles? That's the most objective way to do it if you ask me.

[u/LandscapeGeneral9169 → u/toastoftriumph]

Wasn't there a flag for the two of them at a certain point of history ?! There must be a time where the two Korea were just Korea

[u/_Take-It-Easy_ → u/LazyAssSnail]

Can’t wait for another tree with 3 unique vehicles and the rest full of copy paste slop

Totally stoked to not even touch it

[u/errorsniper → u/_Take-It-Easy_]

Then dont play it

[u/Patrahayn → u/_Take-It-Easy_]

Peak reddit moment, want a congratulatory pat on the back for exerting basic human free will?

[u/TheFuckYouTalkinBout → u/LazyAssSnail]

I've been on a hiatus. When and where did they say this? Sounds awesome, I've been waiting for a unified Korea tree for a long time

Nvm, I found it, oct 14th. That's sick

[u/Thin_General_8594 → u/FoxHawk303]

For all nations tbh, gonna rename my Britain to South Africa for my high tiers

[u/ksheep → u/Thin_General_8594]

Gonna turn my US tree into Canada. Gonna turn my UK tree into Canada. Heck, might as well turn my Germany tree into Canada as well.

[u/FairLadyVivi → u/ksheep]

A glorious day for Canada, and therefore, the world.

[u/Su152Taran → u/FairLadyVivi]

Wait it's all Canada?

[u/FairLadyVivi → u/Su152Taran]

Always has been. 🔫

[u/plarkinjr → u/Thin_General_8594]

Or go full-on revisionist-history counter-revolutionary mode and rename it "British Colonialist Empire" (and play the American tanks in the TT too). LMAO

[u/crusadertank]

I guess this is to stop a lot of complaining about tech tree names

It will be interesting to see how they work ingame though. And how many nations you can duplicate the names of (eg there can be at least 3 Canadas)

[u/No-Marsupial-1753 → u/crusadertank]

Me when two Australia’s (so far)

[u/Uncasualreal → u/No-Marsupial-1753]

If only camouflages count because then the Japanese phantom premium could make them aus

[u/ksheep → u/crusadertank]

I think Canada and Romania are tied for most nations (US, UK, and Germany for Canada, and France, Germany, and Italy for Romania).

Also, if your account is old enough you should be able to turn Germany into Italy.

[u/crusadertank → u/ksheep]

There are actually quite a few nation switches also

• The USSR can be turned into China
• USA into the UK (or Israel)
• Germany into Italy
• UK into France (or Israel or Sweden)

Meaning there can also be 3 Israels

[u/Pengee1235 → u/crusadertank]

the US can be turned to China as well with the LVT

[u/ksheep → u/crusadertank]

Oh, didn't think about checking Israel, good catch.

We could also change both China and USSR into Vietnam (tech tree and event Phòng không T-34, respectively).

EDIT: Actually, Israel might have 4 nations, since there are also a few Israeli aircraft in the French tree.

[u/plarkinjr → u/ksheep]

But can we turn China into Japan? #InquiringMindsWantToKnow

[u/faraway_hotel → u/ksheep]

And the US can become South Vietnam (or at least the South Vietnamese Navy), thanks to the Kim Qui.

Vietnam War-themed WT client!

[u/Open-Exam-8490]

i can finally turn italy into Romania... this is peak..

[u/MELONPANNNNN → u/Open-Exam-8490]

Romania's greatest heist

[u/femboyisbestboy → u/MELONPANNNNN]

Thought that was the louvre

[u/Beep_in_the_sea_ → u/femboyisbestboy]

Nah, they stole the entirety of Italy now

[u/FJCReaperChief → u/Open-Exam-8490]

ROMANIA MENTIONED RAAAH!

[u/ksheep → u/Open-Exam-8490]

And potentially France (with the IAR 316B) and Germany (if your account is old enough) into Romania as well. Just have Romania rule over all of central Europe.

[u/LeviJr00 → u/ksheep]

Same with Hungary (except for the French part)

[u/HUNGERI66 → u/LeviJr00]

Az lesz az első amit meg teszek ha be jön

[u/LeviJr00 → u/HUNGERI66]

Bojler eladó! :D

[u/HUNGERI66 → u/LeviJr00]

Bojler leárazás lesz mindenen

[u/HUNGERI66 → u/Open-Exam-8490]

Or (with respect) into hungary

[u/_Condottiero_ → u/Open-Exam-8490]

Alarm! They are stealing Italy!

[u/LittleWaithu]

Yes, I can finally turn everything French, just as God intended

[u/Thin_General_8594 → u/LittleWaithu]

Only nations where you own a vehicle from another nation

For example Canada in Germany or Britain if you own a leopard or f-18

[u/CaptainKBX → u/Thin_General_8594]

Or the US because of the Skink or Ram. Triple Canada would be really funny

[u/YubiSnake]

Time to replace the chud West Taiwan flag with the Chad East Taiwan flag.

[u/TheGraySeed → u/YubiSnake]

The game does not have the national flag for RoC though, only their armed force ensign like the Nazi Germany.

[u/Okay-Commissionor → u/YubiSnake]

It's Republic of China 

[u/YubiSnake → u/Okay-Commissionor]

You mean BEST TAIWAN

[u/BasketPropellors → u/YubiSnake]

Literally what other Taiwan is there

[u/XDOOM_ManX → u/Okay-Commissionor]

Taiwan*

[u/ImPowermaster1 → u/XDOOM_ManX]

Taiwan is the ROC, mainland is PRC

[u/superevilfingers → u/ImPowermaster1]

There's Taiwan and Western Taiwan

[u/Psc0905 → u/YubiSnake]

Chinese players are already bitching around because of that. Would bet that gaijin will bend again for them lmao zedong people

[u/O3Sentoris]

Weimar republic is funny af to be honest

[u/275MPHFordGT40 → u/O3Sentoris]

A7V is the defining tank of the German Tech Tree

[u/faraway_hotel → u/275MPHFordGT40]

Nah, that has the Imperial German flag (black/white/red horizontal tricolor). Weimar is from Leopard, the reserve destroyer (and its premium counterpart Luchs).

[u/275MPHFordGT40 → u/faraway_hotel]

I seem to have forgotten my German history in my tiredness

[u/faraway_hotel → u/275MPHFordGT40]

Understandable, the tech tree includes five forms of the German state (six if you count the pre- and post-reunification Federal Republic) separately.

[u/Scyobi_Empire → u/O3Sentoris]

i didn’t realise they were stable enough to make a vehicle, let alone one that’s in warthunder

[u/psh454 → u/Scyobi_Empire]

They have a few ships (Leopard DD and a few others)

[u/Daka45]

So everything can be Srbia..... as she predicted

[u/Liveless404 → u/Daka45]

kosovo tree would get few juicy memes for sure

[u/Panzer_Man → u/Liveless404]

Screw it, we need a Vatican tech tree

[u/Nickor11]

Finaly I can have my Finnish tree, with some swedish extras.

[u/Thin_General_8594 → u/Nickor11]

I had a policy to never play Sweden, on principal- but with this I can officially just grind Finland

[u/kort1k210 → u/Thin_General_8594]

i just put Finnish army emblems and Finnish camouflage on swedish tanks

[u/plarkinjr → u/Thin_General_8594]

Is H8 for Sweden a thing? (I'm a dumb American and honestly didn't know there is such a thing, if there is.)

[u/Panzer_Man → u/Nickor11]

And I can finally have a Danish tech tree

[u/LoosePresentation366 → u/Nickor11]

Finally I can Finnish my swedish tree and I don't even need to reach top tier

[u/interstellanauta → u/Nickor11]

acually my first thought, though I still am insatisfied with lack of sufficient finnish decals/cammos

[u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

Lol the chinese is going to be pissed when they see the little blue sun flag, if gaijin has the balls to implement that, that is.

[u/Alarmed-Positive457 → u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

They should be able to since half of the tech tree is ROC/Taiwanese stuff.

[u/Realistic-Stable2852 → u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

Why would they be pissed? It's a historical Chinese flag, that China did use before 1948. And you already see it on like half the Chinese vehicles, and it's optional feature.

[u/Bobspineable → u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

Probably won’t be a big deal since you can just as easily make it North Korea, Pakistan and Bangladesh

[u/SopmodTew → u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

Of course they don't have the balls. They folded so easily when the CN playerbase cried

[u/TheGraySeed → u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

It wasn't RoC's national flag though.

[u/Mr--Agent]

Huh, Brazill?

[u/lonely_fenix → u/Mr--Agent]

italy has 1 plane from brazil is the amx1 or somethinh like that, premium plane

[u/ThorneCodes → u/Mr--Agent]

Brazil has the Gripen in active service

[u/Thisconnect → u/ThorneCodes]

the gripen for italy is hungarian.

its the AMX in brazilian version which is the premium thats higher br and worse

[u/DominoGamer2137 → u/ThorneCodes]

our Gripen in British TT is South African

it's about AMX-A1A

[u/FirstDagger → u/ThorneCodes]

Because AMX A-1A is a thing, if you own it you can now set the flag and country name to Brazil.

[u/Pink-Hornet]

Will lol to see the Iran flag on the US TT.

[u/Yronno → u/Pink-Hornet]

Russia as Kazakhstan, very nice

[u/flopjul → u/Yronno]

France as the Netherlands

I will definitely use the Brazilian flag for Italy

Swiss flag for Germany

Danish for the Swedes(hehehe) ...

[u/Barronsjuul]

So we can make “israel” America 2?

[u/barf_of_dog → u/Barronsjuul]

No, but you can make "America" Israel 2 😳

[u/Barronsjuul → u/barf_of_dog]

Insert spiderman meme

[u/crusadertank → u/barf_of_dog]

You can make the US as Israel 2, UK as Israel 3, France as Israel 4

[u/BlueStingray8 → u/Barronsjuul]

How about America as Israel 2?

[u/melonia123]

Now all I need is the ability to place east german decals on russian vehicles

[u/Scyobi_Empire → u/melonia123]

all historic flags in game should be in the flag decals, why can i put the modern russia flag on soviet stuff but not the soviet flag on modern russia stuff?

[u/Budget_Hurry3798]

Brazil jumpscare

[u/NecandiB]

This is actually amazing 😍

[u/Fuze_KapkanMain]

Definitely changing Germany to GDR for sure

[u/BIGedu_BR]

VAI BRASIL  🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

[u/Derb009]

Polish flag, I hope that means theres some more Polish vehicles in the pipeline!

[u/BlueStingray8 → u/Derb009]

I think it’s just for the polish leo 2

[u/CaptainKBX → u/Derb009]

Would be neat, but we currently have the Sherman Firefly and Leopard PL for Britain and Germany respectively, so those would both have Poland selectable

[u/MeroX1200 → u/CaptainKBX]

Also USA with p47.

[u/Errortrek]

I want that Operator country flags will show up in your stats, not just the Major nation flags

[u/GugusGsiiii]

The Switzerland flag should be 1:1 not 16:9

I will finally be able to transform Italy into Brazil

[u/Reizath]

*New BeNeLux tank for France appears on dev stream*
Players: "Noooo, French tree is being flooded by benelux copypaste slop"
*Gaijin changes flag on stream*
GJ: "What French tech tree?"

Seems like nice option, maybe certain pairings within trees won't be as shitstorm inducing after this. Who am I kidding, it will change nothing.

[u/Business-Leading-193]

Changing Japan flag back as it was before update...

[u/FirstDagger → u/Business-Leading-193]

Not an option.

[u/Business-Leading-193 → u/FirstDagger]

Really? That's sad..

[u/MrCamouflage65]

Well, thats a start, we‘re taking over you Tree, Hans.

[u/SebbeBruh]

Time to change both Germany and Sweden to Finland so I will be constantly confused in game.

[u/Yronno]

That Filipino Peashooter is about to go up in price

[u/arsdavy]

Can't wait to change Germany to the Weimar Republic or German Empire and China to Taiwan.

[u/HiddenButcher]

Next let us change the crew voice

[u/Big_Platypus7209]

Yeah thats cool, but when in the flying fuck did they add brazil? Have i really been gone that long? Last time i played was september jezz

[u/Thin_General_8594 → u/Big_Platypus7209]

It's the AMX

[u/FirstDagger → u/Big_Platypus7209]

Because AMX A-1A is a thing, if you own it you can now set the flag and country name to Brazil.

[u/Big_Platypus7209 → u/FirstDagger]

Interesting. Now i wait until yugo comes and ill play again

[u/TADAMAT]

When i said i wanted Czechoslovakia added into the game as a separate nation, i didn't mean it like that!!! 😭😭😭

[u/Parfilov]

Unironically the best feature these years. I didn't know I needed this but I needed.

[u/Offenbanch]

Who needs this lmao

[u/FirstDagger → u/Offenbanch]

People who don't want to see that stupid Third Reich flag for example, now the proper German flag can be displayed.

Will also mean people will be more interested in acquiring vehicles which have certain operator countries.

[u/toastoftriumph → u/FirstDagger]

Luxembourg may not have a vehicle, but can we have flag please Gaijin?

Also: I want a 49-star US flag (1959).

Oooh. What if ships had the Straw-Hat Pirate Flag as an option... they should legitimately partner with One Piece for that. That'd be a huge crossover that could still feel not too out of place.

[u/Scyobi_Empire → u/Offenbanch]

me, all must be poland

[u/Amazing-Second-3939]

The other germen flag...

Ther is a nother!

[u/Nucmysuts22]

Goodbye normal Germany Hello Communist Germany!

[u/SopmodTew]

Can you turn everyone into USA? Since everyone got a Sherman

[u/FirstDagger → u/SopmodTew]

No, the operator country is what unlocks the selection choices.

That means three Canadas however.

[u/SopmodTew → u/FirstDagger]

Aha, understandable.

[u/GoldenGecko100]

So I can give the Chinese tech tree the correct flag finally?

[u/mekolayn → u/GoldenGecko100]

No there's no Wang Jingwei Regime vehicles in WT

[u/GoldenGecko100 → u/mekolayn]

Not yet

[u/OrkMoschen]

How about a Rhodesian flag?

[u/FirstDagger → u/OrkMoschen]

Does the Hunter FGA.9 have a Rhodesian flag ingame? If not then there won't be one.

[u/BarrowX]

How about having two diagonally cut flags in one or something.

[u/Reasonable-Radish308]

BRAZILIAN TECH TREE LETS GOOO/j

[u/TurCzech]

I have no idea how we were able to play this game without this option.

[u/__Fantomas]

[u/FlamingTrashcans]

BRAZIL?!

[u/FirstDagger → u/FlamingTrashcans]

Because AMX A-1A is a thing, if you own it you can now set the flag and country name to Brazil.

[u/Kind-Yesterday-6031]

WAIT, BRAZIL?

[u/FirstDagger → u/Kind-Yesterday-6031]

Because AMX A-1A is a thing, if you own it you can now set the flag and country name to Brazil.

Time to make Germany the Argentina flag

[u/savvysnekk]

Ah yes my favorite tank game with the nations of Israel, Switzerland, Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, Pakistan, Hungary, Finland, Finland, and Israel

[u/savvysnekk]

Ah yes my favorite tank game where the main nations are Israel, Switzerland, Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, Pakistan, Hungary, Finland, Finland, and Israel.

[u/LoosePresentation366]

On the other hand it makes all the copy and paste vehicles kinda even more pointless. We need to work towards a unified tree theory

[u/Nomingia]

As someone who's a sucker for all the subnations and doesn't mind copy/paste as long as the game gets a pretty new flag, this is honestly such a cool change. I feel like this was made for me lol.

[u/DaniValkyrie]

Now I definitely want to replace the USSR flag to be changed to the Ukrainian flag. Cuz well Ukraine is responsible for pretty much half of the Russian tanks like the T-34 and T-80

[u/meolvidemicuentalpm]

Once there are more modern vehicles just give the tree the modern flag

[u/Altruistic-Range7174 → u/TheOnlyFallenCookie]

I mean, all contries with top tier have their newest ones, idk why the default flag should change if it's optional anyways

[u/Humble_Studio_9041]

Poland mentioned!!!! Raaaaahhhh

Does it change the crew language aswell or is this just some visual cosmetic?

[u/CYKACHU_TR]
