Linear progression: An attempt to alleviate the lack of National Module Research in tank grinds.

With 6.0, World of tanks switched from package research system to linear progression. Linear progression has a couple issues. The first is choosing the order of research of tanks with multiple branches. The second is the removal of National Module Research (NMR). This increases the amount of xp required for grinds a varying degree. With the increased xp grinds, it also causes some grinds to become much harder.

Naturally I would just recommend going back to the package system. This may not be on the table, if so I recommend removal of obsolete modules from tanks that have already been researched in that tank line. Turrets and tracks are never shared, so this will still have to be researched. Radios are highly shared, so most tanks above tier 6 will only just have the “stock” radio.

For an example of the above change, the following is the changes to the german tree for tier 6 and above. There will also be a few quality of life changes for some grinds that are too hard.

Quite a bit of reduction. If requested I'd make a compete list of tier 6+ for all nations, if there is enough desire. I doubt this as i dont expect enough people will even scroll down this far to read this. 🙁
