Community Update No.13: What’s Coming Up!

Okay(
Thanks for quick answer

@Smin1080p_WT will any IR munitions other than the GCS-1 receive similar LOAL capability?

I’m still waiting for those Romanian vehicles, seeing as it seems Hungary isn’t getting anything else added.

Is that a SUBMARINE???

Thats cool and all, but any solution on how to kill helis that’s spamming FnF missiles and simply lands to avoid dying? :D

No, it’s a deliberate sinking fishing boat.

I went to a museum and they had a whole section on the barb.

There’s also the USS Drum which sunk a Japanese ship by ramming it. Just another premium or event vehicle idea.

Hello, will there be a fix for the bug affecting the color of the custom reticle? Currently, the reticle color fails to change when thermal vision is activated.

Same. I want WW2 Romanian tanks and planes for the TT. So far all we have is one bomber

Tbf 99% of them are just copy and paste that Italy does not need 🤷‍♀️

They have the TACAM T-60 and a few other vehicles.

There’s domestic Italian TDS and 2.3 and 3.0 there’s not a gap where it’s needed.

And that’s why I put 99% because there’s many 5 unique vehicles from WW2 Romania and they would likely be events or premiums (talking strictly ground too)
And ofc I’m not even considering mentioning the like 15 variants of Mareșals

Well they still have unique and interesting vehicles that I would love to see in the TT. They could either sprinkle them into the standard Italian TT or put them in the Hungarian line.

It looks like a Type VII U-boat.

Don’t play those BRs to tank queue times until they undo the changes.

@Smin1080p_WT hey Smin, will the Mosquito changes apply to the mosquitoes in other tech trees? Or just the British ones?

Mosquito wing bomb racks and Martlet Rockets: Major updates always feature lots of new weaponry choices and expansions for existing vehicles of all ranks. This one won’t be any exception to that. The fighter bomber series of Mosquitos will be receiving a new wing mounted bomb rack, allowing for the installation of 250lb and 500lb bombs. This is a different rack to that found on the Mosquito B Mk XVI currently and required a new visual pylon model. Additionally the Martlet Mk IV, the British version of the Wildcat will receive its RP-3 rocket racks, allowing for enhanced CAS possibilities with these aircraft!

No, because you’re completely misrepresenting my point by oversimplifying and turning it into a straw man again.

The Cheetah has the same turret as the Gepard. It has the same chassis as the Gepard.
It has the same mobility as a Gepard, the same armor as a Gepard, the same firepower as a Gepard.
The only difference is the radars, which won’t make much difference in WT’s context.

It functionally is a Gepard.

The Type 87, ItPsV Leopard or XM-246 (for example) aren’t because they don’t use the same hulls or same turrets, which means that they don’t have the same strength or weaknesses despite all of them using the same 35mm Oerlikons as the Gepard.

And that jet example is just… absurd to a baffling level. The Rafale, Eurofighter, Su-30SM2, Gripen, F-18, F-15E… are all multirole jet with ARH and with vastly different flight performance and payloads.

Sorry but gaijin’s actions absolutely do not match this claim. It’s been 12 months since we last got a new fully indigenous ground French vehicle.
Every high tier premium and squadron vehicle is a BeNeLux one. In the French tree.
And when a subtree continually comes at the expense of the existing main tree it’s in, that’s an issue.

Not only that, but there at least 2 instances were gaijin explicitely told us that they would do something an straight up didn’t:

  • We initially didn’t get the DF105 and were told that it was because France had its own vehicle that could be added instead (hinting at the AMX-13 105) and would come later.
    3 years later, that vehicle still is nowhere to be seen and gaijin just gave France the DF105.
    Now to be clear, I have no problem with the DF105 being added to France, the problem I have is that it took 3 years to do so when it should’ve come at the same time and that promised vehicle never came.
    Ironically the addition of the BeNeLux subtree would’ve been the perfect time to add the AMX-13 105 as the Dutch operated it, but nope.

  • When the AMX-40 was added we were told that it wouldn’t have to face T-80s… Only for it to change the very next patch. And the answer we got at the time? “Plan changes”.

So what reason do we have to think that plans won’t change again?

BeNeLux vehicles are amongst the least played of the entire French tree. The Leopard 2A6 and 2A5 combined are barely over the least played variant of the Leclerc (a single vehicle), and this is only since september and the addition of the EMBT because before that they couldn’t even reach that level.
Generally speaking, the only ones that have good numbers are the premiums (especially high tiers ones), because there’s no alternative for them.
Why don’t you make a poll to see if people who play the French tree are satisfied with how it’s handled if you’re that confident?

But hey if I’m wrong and they’re that popular, then surely they could have their own tree. That way BeNeLux players would have even better representation!
I unironically support this BTW, I have nothing against Belgian and Dutch players and can completely understand their desire for representation.
Having it be a standalone tree would allow for much better representation as it would need full BeNeLux vehicles lineups to be viable as it wouldn’t be able to rely on the vehicle of the main tree it’s attached to anymore.

It absolutely should. The French 6.3-8.7 and 9.7-12.0 gap as well as the British 5.3-8.3 are just awful, and additions should be bridging the biggest gaps first and then progressively reducing them.

Adding something like the AMX-13 DCA would’ve allowed to bolster France’s 8.3 and 8.0 lineups with a single “actual functionally practical vehicle”.

But again, actual new vehicles require more work to balance than implementing a vehicle that’s already in game in another tree.

Hopefully this one and not just Gepard copypaste:

Talking about Gepard I would love to see Romanian modified with missiles, especially if Gaijin is serious with Romania placed in the Italian TT:
