seattle said: This thread is such a sad reminder that the Italian tank techs will have the same stats as the German and Soviet ones...

Come on, Paradox! Really??? At least make custom tech trees for the major nations, that's not too much to ask for, is it? To save some time you could group them: Italy/Japan, UK/France/USA, Germany/Soviet. Then you'd have 3 different trees. The minors could get the Italy/Japan tree... Click to expand...

i agree with youbut, why dont you just accept that italians never really developed heavy tanks (so you have no historical role model for the tech tree) but you could do that in Hoi4 if you lay all your ressources in such a project, whats wrong with that?i think research and developement of new tank models and their stats should depend on different factors like expierence, investments, ressources, ministers etc.! so that its possible that the italians research a fictive heavy tank that may have different stats than the german heavy tank of the same level just with different stats because the italian one is less heavy and has other advantages/disadvantages.the research/tech-trees should be unfixed/open and need to be created by research (depending on strategic decisions and other factors) and not fixed if you ask me.*edit:so that its possible that italy research all 2 years a new light tank modell and customize them and has 1945 an total different tanktechtree than all the other major nations who had more ressources and layd their focus somewhere else
