While not usually a nation one thinks of when discussing tanks, Ireland has had a long history of using them, starting all the way back in 1929, with many different types being brought in the interwar period and during the Cold War, with many unique modifications and variants being developed from these tanks.

Indeed with so many types of tanks and armoured cars in its service, I believe that Ireland could even be added to War Thunder as a subtree!

So join me today as we take a look at the various tanks that were used by Ireland, their history in Irish service and why I think they should be added to War Thunder!
