My Expanded Tech Tree Project

This website is dedicated to an expanded and rebalanced set of War Thunder tech trees. The goal is to review early vehicles, adjust their battle ratings, and add historically grounded machines to create smoother lineups and more interesting progression.

Each nation gets its own page with a full tree, vehicle descriptions, and notes on why certain battle ratings and placements were chosen.
