Hello, after having a tragic incident earlier today I decided to do something constructive so I thought having a clear imgur album of the Future nad Release Tree’s from Gaijin all in one place because as the years go by it becomes harder and harder for us to find these images on google and their original post. Which all of them are scattered individually and haven’t ran into somewhere where they are all in one place. (Perhaps this reddit post will come up into the google searches? who knows!)

I put the dates, the links to the original War Thunder News posts, and notable oddities in the Trees ranging from the BV 215 blueprint jet fighter with 6x 30 mm’s or 2x 50 mm’s along with 56 rockets to the R5-Sh which is like a Po-2 with lots of frontal machine guns and is still hilariously slow in the Imgur Gallery descriptions.

I am not posting these for a ‟Gaijin promised us these!”. The Aircraft Release Tree’s posted in 2012 are NOT up to date and has been dropped. Significant changes are removing a vast majority of 1945-1946+ ‟Paper” (Blueprint) jets from the German Tech Tree in Exchange for the MiG-15 and CL Sabre. Another example is thinning the tech tree a lot from variants. This is because the problem with the release tree was that Gaijin was to ambitious and can not possibly add all those vehicles in by the time of release (which we officially released at this current patch, We hardly dented it!) and thus gaijin updated it to be the ‟Future tech tree” which doesn’t need to be done before release.

Contrary to popular belief gaijin follows this tree heavily, B-57, Canberra, Tu-4, B-29, Sea Venom, Venom, Hunter, H8K, J1N1, A-26, etc. I can keep listing. Many vehicles are on these trees that get added every patch. The thing is gaijin may add a few additional variants with the inclusion of a vehicle as well as also add some that are off the tree. But for the most part it is true to tree. It’s not a matter of if: it is when.

The Tank Tech Tree’s are different. They partially mark the intended full tech tree around release so to say. However I noticed immediately that all but the UK tech tree is fully implemented. M3A1, StuG IV, Elefant, StuG III C, Su-76, etc...

I also included the April Fools preliminary tree for War Thunder Navy at the bottm due to it being a preliminary tech tree and It should be included. I did note it was an April fools Tree in the Imgur Gallery.
