Hello!
While the current tree is likely to be changed and altered, I thought it would be fun to fill in the missing slots while also providing ideas for vehicles to be implemented generally as a tank main!
I believe the below vehicles will provide satisfactory replacements for the old vehicles that are seemingly no longer going to be available (as assumed by their lack of presence in the spreadsheet e.g Panzer 4/70, T-60 etc) so that new players don’t miss out, while also providing interesting new content for older players who will otherwise having nothing to grind for. Further, basically 99% of these tanks are in War Thunder so it hopefully shouldn’t require much effort or resources from the devs to implement these, so that they can focus on new weapons and campaigns etc.
Enlisted. Future Tech tree - Google Drive
I have attached above the current spreadsheet so you can see which tanks will go where more easily! This is also to give context to the rankings, as there is always 2 per level (which will be refered to as “high” or “low”)
Germany:
The Germans / Italians already have basically there entire tree filled out so there is not much need here.
Tech tree:
Tiger H1 - Low Rank 9.
This is already in the files and will likely be implemented here anyway before you can research the Tiger E.
Tiger 2 (H) / King Tiger - High Rank 10.
This is likely to come anyway, though the Tiger 2 P should be moved to low rank 10 on the spreadsheet.
Elephant Tank Destroyer - High Rank 10.
I put this in the techtree rather than as a premium or event vehcile as I think it would add some much needed variety, so maybe they could add an additional slot within Rank 10 considering it is the last one.
Premiums/Event vehicle ideas:
Brumbar - High Rank 7.
While the Sturmtiger would be a bit too OP considering the small maps, I believe this would be a good stop-gap and provide a counter to the KV2.
Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer - High Rank 7.
To be honest I’m surprised this is not in the game already due to it being so iconic, thus it would make a good event vehicle in my opinion to avoid clogging the techtree up with things too similar to the Stug.
Flammen Panzer 3 - High Rank 3.
I have a soft spot for this tank so this is more personal preference, though it would be nice to have some higher tier flame tanks!
Japan:
Now for the biggest take since they barely have any armour in their tech tree at all… Also even here I have had to miss some slots as simply not enough historic Japanese tanks exist!
Tech Tree:
Ho Ro - High Rank 2
Basically a mini japanese KV2/Brumbar, I think it would be quite a funny meme vehicle.
Ro Go Exp - High Rank 3
Tank destroyer variant of the Ro-Go, while packing a powerful gun, it is a glass cannon and would counter the Grant similarly to how the m43 in Tunisia counters it.
Chi He - Low Rank 4.
This would be a good counter to the Allies’ crusader.
Ho Ni I - High Rank 4.
This will be similar to the Ro Go but much more manuerverable.
Ho Ni III - Low Rank 5.
This would rival the Sherman II due to its increased armour, making it a balanced fight.
Chi Nu - High Rank 5.
Basically the previous vehicle but now with a turret!
Chi To - High Rank 6
Long barrel to fight the more armoured shermans.
Chi To Late - Low Rank 7
Up armoured to be more effective against American SPGs
Chi Ri - Low Rank 8.
Japan’s first and only heavy tank!
Ho Ri Prototype - High Rank 9.
This would be Japan’s equivalent to the Tiger in terms of gun and armour.
Ho Ri Production - High Rank 10.
Bigger gun to deal with Pershings etc.
Event/Premium vehicles:
Chi Nu II - Low Rank 6.
Combines the better gun of the Chi To with the lighter armour of the Chi Nu. Thought this would be interesting!
Na To - High Rank 5.
This would be an interesting event vehicle as it’s essentially a tractor with a massive gun on the front, the Japs seemed to have learned from the Russians lol
The Americans (And British):
This was the most interesting one to decide, as I was heavily influenced by the presence of many British vehicles already on the spreadsheet, so think of this as more of a “Western Allies” armour tree rather than purely American.
Tech Tree:
Valentine IX - High Rank 3.
This would be a nice progression in terms of armour from the grant, and considering the valentine was the most mass produced English tank (around 5,000), I think it deserves to be in the tech tree.
Cromwell - High Rank 4.
This is another tank I’m surprised is not in the game, though I see this as an opportunity since it means it could be implemented within the tech tree rather than as a premium like the Sherman Firefly.
M4 - Sherman - High Rank 5.
The most common American tank, and the most common variant too!
Churchill VII - High Rank 6.
This is already in the files and would provide a nice heavy tank ahead of the jumbo.
M6A1 - Low Rank 7.
While this never arrived in Europe, I was struggling to find a tank to fit in this slot due to it being lower than the M10… Though once again, this would add some variety to the Allies’ tech tree.
M4A3 (76) - High Rank 9.
The Americans finally get a proper sherman mounting the 76!
M36 GMMC - Low Rank 10.
This should be added with its APHE as this will aloow it to counter the King Tiger.
M26 Pershing - High Rank 10.
I cannot not see them adding this to the game as it is the American equivalent to the Tigers or IS tanks.
T26 Super Pershing - High Rank 10.
Like with the Elephant, if they add an extra slot to Rank 10 I would love to see this added so I can have revenge for all the the panthers that bullied me in my Sherman lol
Premiums/Event Vehicles:
M3 GMC - High Rank 2.
I thought this would be interesting, plus it is in the game’s files already.
M4A3 105 - High Rank 3.
If you have palyed against this thing in war thunder you probably resent this thing, and I don’t blame you, but it’s already in Enlisted’s files so…
Comet I - High Rank 9.
Britain’s answer to the tigers and panthers before the centurion was deployed.
Russia:
Like the Germans, their tech tree is nearly finished on the spreadsheet, so here are a few vehicles I think that could be added!
T-80 - High Rank 2.
The T-70 but now it’s turret armour works!
SU 122 - High Rank 4.
This would be a nice gap between the T28E and T-34 (1940) while also being unique as an SPG.
ASU 57 - High Rank 5.
Sneaky Boi
T-34 (57) - High Rank 7.
I can easily see this tank being added anyway bet I included it here to fill up the spreadsheet!
IS2 (1944) - High Rank 10.
Again, this tank is basically confirmed as you can see its wreckage throughout Berlin!
ISU 122S - High Rank 10.
Again, like the Elephant and Super Pershing, this would add some much needed variety in top tier if they added an extra slot for Rank 10.
Premiums/Event Vehicles
OT 34 - Low Rank 6.
Like the Flammen panzer 3, this would add some higher tier flame tanks which I think would be great fun to use!
KV2 - High Rank 6.
This is already in the files, plus this is an extremely iconic tank of the war so it should be added somehow even if there is not enough room in the tech tree.
Katusha - High Rank 3.
One of the most infamous sounds of the war was the rawrring rockets of the Katusha, so why not add this to Enlisted!
Conclusion:
If you made it through this post, congrats as I didn’t realise it would end up being so long (Sadly I have an infection right now and so I have too much free time )! Either way, I hope you enjoyed my ideas and I am curious to see what everyone thinks, such as whether you would swap certain vehicles or add entirely new ones!?
Also if the devs see this, please please please add the Elephant, Flammen Panzer 3 and OT-34!
