Duplicate Vehicles: Why We Add Them

[EquableComet801-live]

that doesnt make it perfect, or even good, theres many many many things about the game that are bad or terrible and need to be improved

[Caga_Nukes_3000]

Why aren’t old event vehicles returning? It’s not fair that only content creators get them. It would be great if they came back, but without the option to sell them. Also, why don’t they bring back the helicopter PvP mode? I think they could bring it back now, since there are so many capable helicopters.

Talk is cheap.

the SU-39, BMPT, and T-80 are all different from the tt counterparts

Hey Thomas very good takes, I was thinking about germany since if i recall Belgium tank battalions are integrated inside the German Bundeswehr but I might be wrong about that.

Those are present for the Benelux, like a Leopard 1A5BE MEXAS with our own MECAR produced APFSDS rounds (as obviously Belgium has its own weapons factories, we didn’t use German ammo on most out leopards…).

Yes it would be a nice addicion, my take is that there have been no relevant unique French Vehicles for the last few updates, a Unique Belgian tank would be welcomed, but it could come together with a unique french Tank no?

Stona said that:

the Leopard 1A5BE addition doesn’t negate the AMX-30C2 (which is in our plans for the future)

But like how many updates does it take to make a tank whose model only large difference to the B2 that is already in game for year is a stabilizer, even the 3D model is like 99% equal to what we already have.

@Thomas_Belgium

Those Leopards are the ‘easy’ addition by Gaijin

That is my biggest gripe with tthis sittuation. It doesn’t make sence to add 5 F-16 and in all this time they gained of R&D to not put a single unique Mirage F1 variant, like the Moroccan MF2000.

It just feels like they are having a laught at us man… like just add another F-16 or another Leopard 2 and the game will magically fix itself, trust me bro it didn’t work the other 15 times we tried, but this leopard or this F-16 will fix it lol

@Stona_WT

Singapore’s ground vehicles will be distributed among various in-game nations, taking into account the characteristics and needs of both the vehicle itself and the nations where it might be added.

However, Gaijin officially promised to return Singaporean vehicles to their countries of origin. This is not without precedent – in the game, Spanish and Turkish vehicles are also spread across multiple nations’ tech trees. Returning Singaporean vehicles to their producing countries would be a good addition.
The U.S. could receive the F-15SG (an F-15E with an AESA radar,). The U.S. needs this, F-15C currently underperforms significantly in the game.

Okay that wasn’t a reach and a half your just putting words in other people mouths. He literally was talking about 3 LEO 2A6’s not a Abrams and Leclerc. Those are literally the same base vehicle with minor changes to the side skirts.

[Madame_Elisa]

I think that’s where a lot of issues arise
Why add them if they aren’t different from the same vehicle found in other nations? I get it from a ‘fill a gap for now’ perspective, but from a user interest/return on investment perspective? I think there should be more discussion between Gaijin to Player in these terms (See Vextra 105 and its history, which I consider successful in that department)

@AcidSky

. Those are literally the same base vehicle with minor changes to the side skirts

(Only difference irl is internal composite and idk if that’s modeled in the game since the dutch and the finnish ones should be on the level of 2a4s hull)

[AcidSky]

They are copies of the 2a6 because Gaijin was to lazy to change the composite

[AkenoHimejima97]

And still after one year qn506 still having infinite fire with out posibility to repair with so many reports GJ.

@Stona_WT

there are always reasons for the way we do things

Cough cough pantsir sm sv? Secret ridiculous reklit buff? Bmpt armour and survivability? Kh38s? Absolutely unnecessary cancer.

[AcidSky]

The reason is they like Russian vehicles and hate NATO ones.

[Fernando_alonso]

When are we getting the Indian BUK for the GB

[Rokakoma_HUN]

I’m all for copy paste premiums, I wouldn’t want unique vehicles behind paywalls, but PLEASE, when there are unique and original vehicles to add to a tech tree, add THOSE, not copy paste… It makes the entire experience bland and boring.

[F16XLWT]

Guys, this is for when Russia and China get the Leopard 2 since the captured a few from Ukraine, not a big deal, and don’t fret about the EF-2000 AESA going to Russia and China either, it’s fine guys, not like this is in light of any player dissatisfaction or something.

@Smin1080p_WT

If something generally only has a couple of photos to go by (such as the Komatsu 105), then its less likely to come to the game. Lacking information can be one thing, but from a 3D model aspect, there’s also issues to be had there if there are insufficient resources available to show the vehicle.

I think there are enough photos, both of the 105GSR itself and the B78, from all angles and in color. Dimensions are also included, even photos with people, giving an idea of ​​the vehicle’s volume. Gun and shell data are all there, the engine and weight are known. I just don’t understand what else might be missing, considering that Ho-Ri tanks were introduced, for which there really is no data, as well as for many other paper tanks (for them, inventing details was no problem). Some ships in our navy are literally pure fiction; it’s not even clear what they would look like in reality.

@Stona_WT

avoid placing entirely unique or historically important vehicles exclusively as premiums as much as possible.

So Why is F-14D as unique vehicle as a premium?

[MACN]

@Stona_WT

This does not necessarily mean there won’t be unique event, premium and squadron vehicles in the future for the high ranks, as we already have several and will have more in the future. But we do aim to reserve as many as possible as researchable vehicles in the tree.

@Stona_WT

In general we know that some players would prefer effective and interesting premium vehicles, but at the same time, do not want important or unique vehicles outside of the research tree.

@Stona_WT

Vehicles that are entirely unique, complicated or vague take much longer to make, sometimes well over a year, or are so obscure that we’re not able to create them with the information available on them at all.

@Stona_WT

The reality is however that some nations such as Israel and Japan simply don’t have a large number of unique vehicles left to add.

@Stona_WT

We want to keep adding vehicles to every nation for years and years to come, and hypothetically if we could add all of those remaining unique vehicles right now, there would be nothing left for the future, or forever, potentially.

This post isn’t going to age well I don’t think; I’m surprised it was cleared to be released honestly. This reads like a grocery list of excuses for not investing time and resources into interesting unique vehicles, premium or other. We all know that premiums are put into the game to generate revenue and why not copy paste when the profit margin is so sweet. I’m disappointed at the mindset that this post seems to be displaying, if Gaijin really feels this way I don’t have much hope for the upcoming years.

not really, because they have F-15EX Eagle II which is a step up from F-15SG anyways and can be added in future.
