i know everyone wants a italian tt + UK tt but i feel like this would make the playerbase too fractured

i prefer it as it is tbh

I do understand it to an extent i suppose, im not sure what the numbers are for the game, but in one manner ive alwas felt theres a way they could do it, like how you can have multiple factions conjoined for different fronts, but tech tree actually seperate, like Commonwealth would always be paired with americans and the same for germans and italians. im probably dreaming, hopefully sometime in the future we will have a huge player surge that will justify the seperation.

It doesn’t have to split the player base at all - you choose Western allies as the side in a fight, then American or British Commonwealth as the actual tech tree you use in that fight.

so US and BC “tech trees” can fight alongside each other in battles.

Can do the same with Germans and Italians - albeit Italians fighting in 1945 Berlin is a bit anachronistic they can do that now anyway, so no real difference.

That beats the whole point of seperating the tech tree.
Only benefit we could ever see from seperate tech trees are British vs Italian only, Chinese vs Japanese only battles and the likes.
If the queue stays the same than no one wins anything at all.

I would love for Britain and Italy to be their own independent factions, but if thats not possible for the foreseeale future then the next best thing would be a separate tree within the Allies and Axis RT

Britain especially has sooooooo much content that its ridiculous theyre constantly spit on

In what way?
The main problem with the combined allied tech tree is BC and US units using each other’s equipment willy-nilly, and being mixed up in a single lineup.

This would solve those problems.

I don’t see anyone complaining about players using the 2 different nationalities fighting alongside each other.

Which makes no sense

well you aren’t going to get shorter queues from any split, so staying the same is actually the best that can be expected!
