The nations of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq all have many interesting vehicles to offer. Whether they are tanks, planes, helicopters, or potentially even ships, there is a lot which could be added to War Thunder. The only issue is where to put all their vehicles? One solution would be to create a tech tree based on the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO), also known as the Baghdad Pact or by its later name of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO). This was a military alliance involving Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and the United Kingdom which lasted from 1955 to 1979. This organization played an important part in the geopolitics of the Middle East, even if it didn't last as long as it was hoped. Despite this, CENTO would make for a great way to introduce vehicles from all these countries, as in most cases they do not have enough to stand on their own. I did my best here to include vehicles primarily from Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq, only using British vehicles as filler when absolutely needed due to them already existing in the game.
