Community Update No.6: Updating You On Some Things You Can Expect in the Near Future!

2nd.

naval will get submarines :)

[_Ladies_Man_217]

Then why did they say “Cool” when it’s literally shit?

[Morvran]

I hope they come sooner rather than later. I think they are either going to be OP or DOA (and constantly flip-flop between the 2 extremes) and take years to get right, but they just sound like fun . I really enjoyed the event

We have plans to add a prototype variant of the Leclerc in the next major update, however not as a premium. The reason for this is that its armor protection is still under question, and we’re wary of adding a premium vehicle with armor that could very much be subject to heavy changes if new information came to light.

Also, I honestly think this would be fine as a prem. Gaijin already has a note that states that it’s subject to change whenever, and people who’ll get cranky about an armor nerf are honestly just losers. You refused to read the fine print, it’s no one’s fault but your own. You’re paying for the license to use it at that exact moment how it is then under the knowledge it can and will change. It’s like going to a college and then getting cranky when the graduation requirements change, despite graduating 3 yeaes ago.

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Victory Day! For this we’ll have our traditional celebrations and an event with a Soviet tank as the main reward, which has already been announced. Afterwards, those interested in aircraft will be able to appreciate one of Kurt Tank’s designs in the aircraft event. And in early June, we’ll be having an event dedicated to D-Day with an American tank as the main reward. When this event finishes, there will then be about a 1 month gap without an event — after that, naval fans will be able to enjoy a naval vehicle in a naval event.

My guess for the Kurt Tank aircraft is the IAe 33 Pulqui II, but I hope for another Ta152 variant (I’d play it more)

So what solution have we come to? We plan to introduce a Leopard 2A4 NL from the Netherlands as a premium for the French ground forces tree.

I still don’t understand why dutch vehicles are in a sub tree below france. It’d be much easier to place them under germany since we both use a lot of the same vehicles and actually have a shared tank battalion. Would much rather see a unique dutch vehicle in the german tree then another lazy copy paste in the frensh.

[Apvalus]

Americans will get

DD Sherman (Duplex Drive)

[Apvalus]

Leopard for NL was delayed last patch, so this going to be there 100%,

@magazine2

jet for Japan

RNZAF SU-33 confirmed? (F-2 is a lie)

[VF21_Freelancers]

Is there ways to gets carrier spawn on this map?

Would be awesome we can gets HMS Invincible as AI.

[Morvran]

In Air Sim there are carriers already. (Bluefor is usually HMS Ark Royal and Redfor is usually USS Forestal) but would be good to get Carriers added back to ARB

(Carriers are usually ones with Catapults because they accomodate more aircraft, would kill for HMS invincible for maximum immersion but only the harriers could make use of the Ramped carriers for Bluefor, so instead we have catapult launches for them which is technically impossible)

(Carriers are usually ones with Catapults because they accomodate more aircraft, would kill for HMS invincible for maximum immersion but only the harriers could make use of the Ramped carriers for Bluefor, so instead we have catapult launches for them which is technically impossible)

This is why I still waiting more USN Carriers/LPHs.

We already have naval aircraft from the 1990s and beyond, we should no longer be stuck with a Vietnam-era USS Forrestal at top tier games. I assume we gets Kitty Hawk class/USS Enterprise or Nimitz class in sooner or later.

And yeah… red forces shouldn’t have NATO carriers…

[Benabo_HELIVR]

Can you guys please fix heli hitboxes in VR. I fly under things that are geometrically possible but theres a bug that makes ur heli instantly nosedive or like someone has plased a steel wire.

[Benabo_HELIVR]

I like how i also get 7 min penalty from dying to these bugs or getting teamkilled by enemies. Great logic gaijin, teamkilling gives penalty to the one being teamkilled

“There will of course be aircraft too, including a rather cool helicopter for the USA and a jet for Japan.”

T W O C B A T I A R C H F T U A A J F J

Now group them and look for possible patterns or acronyms:

Try this grouping:

• TWO CBAT IARCH FTU AAJFJ

Now let’s look again:

• TWO – a number
• CBAT – could be a scrambled form or acronym
• IARCH – might suggest “I ARCH” or “AIR CH” (aircraft?)
• FTU – possibly “For The USA”
• AAJFJ – possibly “A jet for Japan” encoded

Still speculative, but “TWO CBAT” could possibly hint at two combat aircraft (e.g., helicopter and jet), while the rest may reinforce that with hidden acronyms.

It could also be using a more subtle method — for example, hiding a message in capitalized words, or specific positions.

Another interpretation might be:

“a Rather Cool Helicopter For The USA”
Initials: RCHFTU
Could decode to “RCH” = Recon/Rescue Chopper, “FTU” = For The USA

And:

“A Jet For Japan” → “AJFJ”

So you might have:

• RCHFTU = Helicopter for USA
• AJFJ = Jet for Japan

Putting that together: it’s subtly hinting at a Recon/Combat Helicopter for the USA and a Jet Fighter for Japan.

@Apvalus you too

• Superior → Submarines
• “Superior” could hint at advanced submarines, potentially nuclear-powered or next-generation stealth subs.
• Could also be a nod to the “silent but superior” nature of subs in naval warfare.
• Iconic → Iowa
• The Iowa-class battleships are among the most iconic US naval ships ever built.
• Definitely fits the “iconic” label.
• Big → Bismarck
• The Bismarck is a perfect fit here — massive, legendary, and widely recognized in naval history.
• “Big” ties in directly with its physical scale and historical impact.
• Vast → Vanguard
• The British HMS Vanguard, the last battleship built by the Royal Navy, fits as a “vast” representative — both in terms of design and being the culmination of battleship development.
• Yottabyte → Yamato
• This is the cleverest link: the Yamato was the largest battleship ever built.
• “Yottabyte” is a humorous exaggeration for massive scale, and Yamato absolutely qualifies.

iconic

They are also movie stars
