stats seems isnt very good
slow missile
hopefully they would gave it a different version missile and better
I really hope fly through, and top tier jets sound gets a rework they sound the same !
Very nice blog.
Some highlights for me:
- Leclerc Proto in techtree. This is cool, although not convinced about 2A4 as premium. I do understand the reasoning though.
- US helo, finally the Cheyenne?
- Japanese jet, can not be anything else but F-2.
- New reworked maps. Very nice, the impression looks really good.
- Chinese Type 625 looks awesome.
- US WW2 event tank in June.
- Battleships. Even though I’m not really a naval player they’re always nice to look at.
About the Kurt Tank event plane. I hope Fw 187 or Fw 190A-9 (along with finally a new model), but it’s probably the Marut (meh).
Also, I wonder if there is a meaning behind why that header was chosen. Can we expect another Tri-pack, like the Ost/West pack?

Yeah, the X-32 as well, too bad JSF got cancelled because no one else entered

Useless, it uses TOW missiles (that cant even outrange 35mm cannons) so its probably going to be 9.7, where it will face Osa, 2S6, Roland, Strela etc that renders is pretty pointless when you can use more effective fixed wing cas.

Can’t wait to see the 625 in-game.
Oh shut it, it’s not like the US doesn’t already have 3 F-14s, japan is like 2 years past date for receiving the F-2.
But the US is suffering, they only got 3 new jets last update, how are they meant to cope with so few additions :P
The saddest part is, this thing is arguably even worse than Machbet.
Heck, there’s genuinely a case to be made that Namer (IFV) is our best AA. At least that thing has missiles that can take down helicopters lol.
Utterly depressing state of affairs.
I’m very happy for whoever is getting new AA this update - god knows everyone needs it, but man. I don’t think anyone needs it quite as desperately as this tree does, and I’ll be very disappointed if we get forgotten again, and left even further behind.

Impressive, but you forgot to undo the Gaijin scramble, which is when you shift each letter forward by 6 in the alphabet.
Undoing this scramble instead gives us:
“Z C U I H G Z O G X I N L Z A G G P L P”.
From remembering the conveniently formed “T W O”, or “two (2)” in the scrambled state, we can tell that this result will then be partitioned by separating every two letters. This leaves us with two encoded hints:
“Z U H Z G I L A G L”
and
“C I G O X N Z G P P”
Z U H Z G I L A G L
Let’s do the first one first, because not only is it the first, meaning we should likely do it first, but also because it is the easiest.
Looking at the letters more closely reveals that quite clearly the letters perfectly write out “HUZZIGGAL”, which is the sound of a helicopters rotor blades in a silly made up US accent.
This not only indicates the first hint might be a helicopter, but also that it would be for the US tech tree.
C I G O X N Z G P P
Now, the second one is more tricky.
After looking at these letters intently for a long time, it became obvious that it doesn’t equal a word. Instead, I took a step back and tried your approach of equating them to the first letter of words in a sentence. The only issue here was that with only the first letters to work with, it seemed far too open ended.
Or so I thought!
When I entered the initials of each Gaijin employee backwards, I got the following result:
“HA RL ER SRE AT LY VE RJO YE DY LOP HO NE IP PO NEP PE LI NO ES HLY IN GW AR TH UND ER”
Using those same letters in this very order to complete the sentence now reveals a final riddle:
“Charles Is Greatly Overjoyed Xylophone Nippon Zeppelin Goes Phlying PWarThunder”
It is clear this riddle speaks of another hinted addition, and the inclusion of “Nippon” indicates a Japanese vehicle. But what kind is more difficult, hinging on two other words, one more difficult to decipher than the other.
The obvious part here is “Xylophone”, since those use metal, similar to a jet engine, indicating the vehicle in question might also use a jet engine.
However more difficult is “Zeppelin”, due to its seemingly arbitrary meaning with no relation to War Thunder i the slightest. Ferdinand von Zeppelin was a German man living in the late 19th century. He was most notably known for his mustache, something he had in common with popular 80s actor Tom Selleck.
From this we can tell the hint has to do with a movie, specifically one of the 1980s, however since Ferdinand Zeppelin isn’t Tom Selleck the clue must be hidden in one without Tom Selleck. One option clearly stands out here, being 1989s Indiana Jones and the last Crusade, which prominently featured a scene with an airship, which now clearly relates back to War Thunder. From that we can deduce that the vehicle in question must fly.
So the second hint here indicates a Japanese jet aircraft addition.
So to sum it all up, Gaijin’s hint likely goes something like this:
“There will be a helicopter for the USA and a jet for Japan”
