Due to BR balancing in update, the location of some weapons and vehicles on the tech tree is strange and inconvenient.
I suggest to move or fold some weapons’ location on TT so it would be easier for new players to unlock and understand the BR system. The suggestion is only about unlocking/researching on TT, not relating to changing the statics and BR of the weapons mentioned below.
.
Sov tech tree, mostly OK as their weapon tier isn’t changed much.
USA tech tree, M1A1 Thompson should be put into tier 3 section (currently in tier 4) of the TT so new players can unlock them earlier.
Thompson M1928A1 and M1928A1(drum) can be put into a folder.
The 3 BARs can be put into a folder.
Fold M4A2(76)w into M4A1(76)w instead of Churchill VII.
USA Aircraft TT need some more work. AP-1 should be put earlier, near or folded-into SBD-3.
Beaufighter moves to a later location on TT.
And I think B-25 should be put behind P-47.
German tech tree, well it is the main reason for this topic, as it’s quite a mass. Swap Carcano 1891 and prewar 98k’s location, also swap their sniper variants’.
VG1-5 folded into VG-2 instead of Mannlicher 1895.
G98 sniper moves to somewhere earlier on TT.
Move Beretta M1, Beretta M38/42 and Beretta M38(40) into a folder!
Also put MP-40 folded into MP-38.
PzB-39 can be folded into PzB-38 if you want but that line on TT isn’t that crowded anyway.
Swap location of Pz.IIIN and Pz.IV F1, so Pz.IIIN is folded into Pz.IV F1. More logical for historical and battle rating issue.
Pz.IV G, H, J can be put into a folder.
To my opinion, Ferdinand should be after Tiger instead of Panther.
Fw-190 A4 (a BR2 fighter) should be folded into Fw-190 A1, and leave Fiat G.55 alone.
Move Fw-190 A8 (the BR3 rocket Fw190) before Fiat G.55 (move Fiat G.55 1 slot later).
Move Ju-188 after Fw-190 D-12 (BR5 attacker Fw190). (location emptied by changes below)
Fold Me-410 B1 (BR5 250kg Me-410) into Me-410 A1 (BR4 rocket Me-410).
Fold Bf-109 G-14 (BR5 no-payload Bf-109) into Bf-109 G-10 (BR4 no-payload Bf-109).
Japan tech tree is quite empty so just move Type Hei and Type Otsu just after Type 99(early) for they are BR2 but put into tier3 and tier4 on the TT.
- Yes, move and fold some of the weapons on TT.
- Yes, but not creating more folders on TT.
- No, keep them unchanged.
