No plans for that right now to speak of. Japan will receive the Thai Firefly and Indonesian B-33 this update.

Not this major update for sure in terms of that spesifically. We have other plans for Italy.

Generally thinks Ranks III-V. Not going to give spesific BR ranges, as it narrows down what it could be.

Any possibility regarding a swiss ground sub tree for Germany yet?

I’m being impatient asf but 🥀 I want silly swiss cars

I don’t like the current situation unfolding within the Japanese tech tree.
First of all, Smin claims that:
Then they add the B-33, and now they’re even claiming that:
To me, this is concerning. It suggests that nothing beyond meaningless space fillers, which are the cheapest copy & paste, is planned to be added. And native designs or unique and interesting vehicles will be ignored or added as premium.
Why is the Avia B-33 being added if it doesn’t fill any gap? At BR 5.0 Japan has no ground forces, and almost no one uses CAS planes in air battles. On top of that, the Avia B-33, which is basically an Il-10, doesn’t even have any effective or large CAS payload (Japanese fighters can carry a similar bomb load). And at BR 5.7, where Japan does have ground forces, there’s the Mitsubishi A6M5 Hei, which is better than it. It’s the same with the Firefly FR Mk. 1, although it does fill a gap better, because at BR 3.3 Japan could use an effective CAS plane (of course, there are the Japanese D4Y3 Ko and Ki-102 Otsu). I really don’t understand these decisions that end up blocking space for Japanese planes with planes that are basically the simplest form of C&P.

FINALLY THE GCS-1 !!!
Since it was said that it shouldn’t be used in a arbor because it could lock on nearby fire or even kitchen, is there a possibility for it to lock tank engines ? that would be peak
Don’t diss my Avia B-33

Why? It’s simply an Il-10 under a different name. There’s a 90% chance it won’t even get its own unique modifications—much like the Indonesian Mi-35.
With one step closer of getting Japan into a United Asian tree and we need Indonesian aircraft for this
Thanks for the reply.
I hope the other plans for Italy are something interesting and genuinely needed. There are still several clear gaps in the ground/air tree, so it would be great to see some of them finally addressed.
A “United Asian” tree? But China, Taiwan, both Koreas (in the future), Vietnam, Bangladesh, Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines are all in different tech trees. How can there be a “United Asian” tree without these countries? And the Avia B-33 remains a pointless addition.
CAS aircraft are not just useful for ground battles, but also people do also use them in air battles and particularly also naval. Not to mention, both of these aircraft come from previous player feedback and suggestions too for both of these nations sub trees inside of Japan.
Japan still has a lack of strike aircraft (sometimes needed for Battle pass / daily missions and challenges) from Rank I all the way to Rank V. So both of these aircraft not only fill functionality gaps in the tree, but also provide new tools to help complete dailies, missions and BP tasks too.
Neither of these aircraft block any space for Japanese aircraft. They are new Strike aircraft for Japan, which the tree lacks and utilises their sub trees to provide more representation there.

Nothing to announce. If we did, this would be in the news. Not something we would randomly drop as a comment.

Will we see a new kind of display/user interface that would display detailed aircraft flight model data, as mentioned in the previous Community Update? Is this still on the plans or dropped?
@Smin1080p_WT Do you know if the tank or the ship will be the main reward for the battlepass as people are confused if it will be a TD below rank IV or above it as this could change what we think it is.
These are ongoing long term plans. Not necessarily all in each update sequentially.
Ok, thank you :)
They are literally, physically blocking slots. I don’t know if it’s the Gaijin engine or something else, but the claim keeps being repeated over and over that there can only be 5 lines and 3 vehicles per era. Now, for instance, they add two aircraft to a line in era 4—and suddenly, there’s only one slot left. They are literally, physically blocking space that could be used for Japanese vehicles or aircraft from sub-trees.
