Captured Ki-61's

Hello…

as far as I can see, there is no difference between the US captured Ki-61 and the Chinese captured one. Then why is one Rank II and the other Rank III?

Because reasons.

In all seriousness, it’s because ranks are nowdays generally based on BR, but do have some some wiggle room within that so it’s really a research thing about what Gaijin wants players to be able to research with what vehicles in what trees.

If it were not for tasks, I could not care less about ranks… but with so many planes gone down in rank in the tree reorganization recently… as a prop lover that renders half of my planes unusable for tasks.

I would love if those tasks could be redefined as “BR 3.0 and higher” instead of “Rank III and higher” or something…

Thanks for the clarification!

Don’t think there is a reason, it seems more of an oversight one that should not happen. But then not like reporting it will matter since it will be struck down with an iron grasp as a “not a bug” which by literal terms is true however, it is still a bug just not a graphical, textural, more of a developer oversight so surface layer at best.

Literally not a single premium went down in rank.

Exactly, the premiums did not go down, but the TT versions sometimes did. The more I am surprised that the premium US plane is Rank II but the TT Chinese one is Rank III

They should seriously bring Premiums into BR changes as well. Makes 0 sense to up tier let’s say the Ki-43 on the TT, but ignore the US Ki-43 as 2 examples.
Universal changes not specific changes.
