There is no P-51A in game other than the exclusive Thunder League reward which will remain exclusive. We dont plan a P-51A right now.

1947 is at the moment, the better performing tank. In several places, its armour is more effective in some spots and it has higher horizontal aiming speed.

Of the 3 variants in game, 1949 is doing the worst right now and the 1947 is better by a considerable margin. Its also a similar case with the STA-3 being after the Type 61.

Tree position is directly linked. Tree position has never been about 100% chronological order as evident across the board.

If you check the details closely, cost increase is only happening when something moves up in position in the tree or when something is grouped. Grouping means in general it is still faster to progress as you don't have to research a whole seperate vehicle and can now instead skip that. In the case of vehicles like the OTOMATIC, that are flat out better than things currently higher than them, they gain cost equal to where they are now going.

If you look at the overall though, there is also a lot of costs being cut. More going down than up.
