I see people are coming up with their own tech tree ideas, so I drafted my own. Mine will be making UK and Italy as a separate tech tree, lowering all BA and SA tier, adding new equipment to each tech tree. However since I understand the complication of having to introduce 2 new tech tree and adding new equipment within short amount of time, this is just what I thought it could have been.

Note:
-UK doesn’t field any SA during the war, it is possible that I might scrap the late war equipment for British and make them stay on mid tier BR.
-This tech tree does not cover the item and squad.
-This tech tree is still incomplete. Feel free to criticize if I misplace some equipment or to expand the tech tree.

10 Levels are too much, so instant no go for me.
That being said, it looks better than DFs homework but still has some issues.
- Why is Mosin M44 Level 6?
- Why Rocket Launcher already at Level 3, where they face Stuarts? Feels overkill.
- Lots of equipment still missing (e.g. Panzer III B)
- PPS43 vs. Mp3008?
- Why MP38 at Level 2? Is way better than the MP40.
And I see that you also include stuff that isn’t in the game yet. While this is a nice idea, it would be nice to mark them to make it easier to differ them.

T-26E1-1 is not in the game. By the way, this is a 6.7 vehicle. Tiger 2 (H) is in the same category. The Tiger 2 (P) is 6.3, as is the M26 6.3. Anyway, it is incomprehensible to me why you want the T26E1-1 so much. Yes, the gun is powerful, but it takes 16 seconds to reload. The Tiger 2 has 8 sec. At this level, the opponent will know where to look for weak points. And he can try several times if you make a mistake. You can’t see forward properly from the commander’s cupola anyway because of the springs. It doesn’t matter to me, but you will be disappointed as in the case of the IS-2. Which is also not 6.7 anyway.
I also don’t understand why one of the best weapons, the Fedorov Avtomat, is in tier 9. RD-44 too. And why is it that the PPD38/40, PPD40, PPSH41 are divided into three tiers, even though there is essentially only a difference in rate of fire between them. But the mkbh42, Mp43, Stg44 are separated into only two tiers, even though there is only a difference in rate of fire between them. It’s good that you move the semi-auto weapons down, but M1 carbine tier 3? While axis there is using bolt-action. At least the armaguerra should be lower in tier 3.
T-50 vs 50mm kwk 39 (Puma, Pz3). Jumbo effect. While you have to look for weak points, the T-50 can penetrate anywhere without a problem.
You corrected the original, I admit that, but I still think it’s problematic.

How about giving the Britons the SLEM-1 SA rifle? Allegedly, around 50 units of it were manufactured. Perhaps, for the Japanese, such a quantity would be a clear signal to add it to their arsenal, so why not do the same for the Britons if necessary.

I had an idea about this a while back, why not have Britain encompass not only all of the Commonwealth, but also all of the European Allies like Holland, Belgium and France? France in particular covers all of the areas Britain cannot on their own, especially Semi-auto, and Britain has late war vehicles which the other European Allied countries do not have for obvious reasons.
I have found additional information about the Howell automatic rifle, which was assigned to the British Home Guard at the beginning of World War II. Therefore, theoretically, it could also be included in the armament.
Us send tons of m1 and garand during war to uk.
Garand is miles away better than any semi, both in real life and in game.
No need to add more prototypes.
Germans used way more captured belgian,dutch, french , czech,polish etc… weapons.
Britain did not use those nations wweapons, contrary the resistance movements in occupied countries used tons of smuggled british weapon, mainly sten smg
Also garand having high tear make no sense.
It became standart ussed weapon even before the war (1937 if i remember right).
M1 carbine is too weak that i would rather to use springfield ba than m1 in any battle.
I am still upset about us paras having m1a1
