The T31 is a possibility, but definitely not for this year since, even if nations were being repeated, USA would certainly not get two DCT vehicles in a row.
I am unfamiliar with the Kugelpanzer, but if nations were repeating, I would expect Germany to get an aircraft, since they already have a DCT tank (the Sturmtiger).
I’m not sure it’s been highly requested for long enough, but even if it were, it’s impossible for this year since USA got the last DCT vehicle.
so USA got last one that leaves Germany Kugelpanzer a circle tank which would be useless in the meta but fun to play A-40 Krylya Tanka might be a massive one it did exist and its russian so maybe possible
The hull was built (though it is not unique to this vehicle), and the turret was also built (which it is unique, wasnt even used by infantry unlike the flak 20/37mm).
Highly-requested, unusual air or ground vehicle that doesn’t fit neatly into the meta… that’s what the requirements seem to be.
We’ve had German, British, American, and Soviet vehicles so far.
So the next vehicle could go to Japan, France, Italy, Sweden, Israel, or China, or it could stay within the largest nations. If it goes to a minor nation, Gaijin will probably want it to still have wide appeal to convince players to grind outside of their tree for it.
Putting more bombers behind limited events like this would be diabolical, especially when NE mode gives them even more gameplay purpose than before.
The Su-15TM has had assets datamined (the texture only currently), and it appears on the 2026 decal from this past new years. Therefore, it is essentially known to be coming at some point this year. However, I believe it is very unlikely that it will be the DCT vehicle. It’s not impossible, but it would be a highly unusual choice for the event.
As a supersonic missile-equipped interceptor (albeit with the ability to carry gunpods IIRC), it would not have been a viable addition to the game until after the update “Supersonic” (released in December 2018), and as such it wouldn’t have had the chance to be requested for as long as other vehicles. Further, its design and capabilities are nothing special compared to contemporaries. Lastly, as a mass produced aircraft, it does not fit the DCT formula at all.
I’m much more expecting the Su-15TM to either be in the tech tree or be the main air reward for this year’s winter event (though that would be the second year in a row that USSR got the main air reward in the winter event, as last year they got the MiG-25PD).
Among the vehicles mentioned here by others, the T-34/88 for the Germans is a real possibility, though I’m not expecting it due to (1) the assumption of no repeated nations and (2) the fact that Germany’s already-received DCT vehicle is a tank (and as such I believe that if they were to get a second one, it would more likely be an aircraft). Further, I am uncertain whether it is unique enough for the DCT series. If it appears, I believe it would more likely be part of the normal event cycle or a future battle pass, or even as a squadron vehicle or GE premium.
For Sweden, maybe the Kranvagn? It was only somewhat half completed, but it’s garnered a bit of a legendary status and lots of players want to see it in the game. A Dreams Come True event implementation is the only way I can see a tank like that being introduced.
I’d also like to see the Hungarian TAS 44. But that should be in the normal tech tree, in my opinion.
