Hello everyone,
I modified the Czechoslovak branch proposal I made to reflect the findings and discussions with V.Francev and J.Tintera (Czech historians). I also threw out all the premium candidates save for the most likely one to make it into the game. Oh yes, and it’s horizontal now, I know – how many of you guys still actually remember vertical trees? I miss those.
The changes include:
- threw out Tiger II with 76mm completely, that was a fake
- added Tiger P with Škoda turret and 105mm L/40 to the list of possible premiums (more about that project here)
- premium TVP candidate redesignated from TVP Model 1946 to TVP Concept to properly reflect its nature
- T-50 (previous tier 8) redesignated to TVP Model 1946, as both the concept and the Škoda proposal were introduced in 1946
- T-51 (previous tier 9) changed to T 50, as sufficient info was recovered to reconstruct the T 50 before the merge with T 51
- T-50/51 renamed to T 50/51 (the dash was deleted as it is more historically correct that way, same goes for T 50)
So yes, this is how it might look in the game.
An alternative failsafe option (in case there are issues tier 9 T 50 tank – at this point however, those would be purely arbitrary, as in “we don’t like how it looks” and such stuff) is the following solution:
- removing the T 50
- replace tier 8 TVP Model 1946 with TVP Concept (removing its premium status)
- replace tier 9 TVP T 50 with Model 1946 (+ some T 50 elements)
- add something else as a premium (a lowtier or a clone most likely)
The original proposal is far better though. But yea, I think the line is pretty solid.
But the question is: when?
The branch – possibly second half this year. Premium – sooner. We’ll see after the 30th of January or so, when I am meeting the WG guys.
so you burried the hatchet and threw away “persona non grata” status? :D
btw., you can still have vertical tech tree with mods. i know two and there will be more i am sure…
Yea but that’s… mods.
Anyway, do you have the impression WG EU likes me more than they used to? :)
lol, i do not :) that’s why i am so surprised :D
mods, sure. but having few swf files replaced in garage does not have any impact on the game itself. just looks better and more useful :D
Edit.
Knowing WG they will delay it like Havok
Who knows? Maybe they will even pick the Swedish instead. We’ll just have to see.
or maybe the lazy mofos can pick more than 1 countrys tanks.
I wish. But no, the plan is one branch first. Second will follow probably in 2016.
Will the Swedish tanks be in the EU tree or will they get their own?
I so want them to be their own nation, those tanks look goddamn awesome.
EU tree, almost certainly. But for better answer we have to wait a few days, WG people are meeting with the Swedish guys as well.
Fingers crossed then, would suck if they ditched perfectly good tanks because there is no room in the EU tree.
Will likely something happened to premium T-25 while regular one being introduced?
finally, this year is our year, the small ones taking part of the stage!
So, SS, is this T-50/51 another armorless leopard 1-alike med?
Armor (hull): 93/75/40 (frontal armor sloped 30 degrees from horizontal, 186mm effective)
Armor (turret): 112/84/84 (mantlet is cca 94mm thick)
Paper med then :(
Well 186 effective is like WZ 120. Whole armor looks a bit like STB-1.
kinda.

E:damn got ninja´d
LT-34 is meant for the light line, isn’t it? I’d like to see it there somehere…
I mean 35 are 38 are more historically important, but we already kinda have those >_>
I wonder how it would do as tier 1.
It would be sort of OP I think. But yes, that’s for the light line, which is more “Praga”.
Great 1 tree, better but up the swedish tree
I am not missing a vertical tech tree, i keep using Reto’s vertical tree mod, really the best one, and easy to install.
You can find it there: World of Tanks official forum → European Community → English Speaking Community → Forum → Community Area → Fan Zone → Mods & Addons → [0.9.5] ReCo’s Vertical Techtree v9.5
Or just go to Curse.com and download.
Any more news on the EU-tree yet, SS? Things have been awfully quiet for some time.
Never mind, reading through the comment section helps… I hope we get to see Czech and Swedish tanks soon.
I never got why WG introduced the unnecessary horizontal tech tree.
Good morning WG, were not in the middle ages anymore! Nobody uses 15″ CRTs anymore!
Maybe some russian peasants, but they have no money anyway….
It actually fits widescreen monitors quite nicely.

There are a few things that might bring me back to wot.
1st is the Czechoslovak branch
2nd is the EU tree
3rd Havok (a fully functional one, but gl with that… Right? :) )
Good luck with pushing this tree trough.
Only good what i can tell…..If the Czechoslovak branch come….IT WILL BE HD ALREADY :-D so yeah the Havok…gl wit that :-D
Hi guys, first i wanna say a huge thank you to SilentStalker for what he is doing for us!
And also wanna ask him about the rest of his czechoslovak tree SPG, light tanks and TD…They dont want it at all or just because its not complete X.
What about T-25…if tank will stay the same like now just will be switch to 6 tier…it will not be playable tank at all….so some upgrade are needed…but what will happen with preimum tank what is in game now…it 5 tier now…
If a private individual like yourself actually influences what tanks are put into this game I play, I think my brain will explode with wonder and satisfaction.
I’m anxious to play the line. I hope this becomes a reality.
