Following the Roadmap: grouping vehicles, rank changes, and improvements to premium vehicles

I have a suggestion to make about the Swedish airtree. In the A28B - Vampire FB 52A folder, the A28B should be the “main” (first) vehicle in the folder as it is in the Swedish tech tree after all. Grouping them makes sense though, but the A28 should be first in that group.

Concerning aircrafts in Ranks 1 to 4

Why don’t you just quit on degrading ranks of aircrafts and just lift the limits on buying 5/5, 6/6 aircrafts in R1 to R4.
People will go much faster through the tech tree.

Or if you insist on downgrading them (i.e Rank 3 to Rank 2), why not do the same with other aircrafts from the same “War period”. Like, if La-5F / F6F-5 “go down” why not Bf-109 F-4. Do you get the idea?

I hope we get to see a finalized version of this a good week before release.

Dear Gaijin,

I am very pleased regarding the new tech tree update that you announced for September 2023. You were asking for feedback, so here it comes (only for Air Arcade):

a) please check the foldering of planes and cosnider the families a bit more: US tree → F4U and F6F do not at all belong in the same folder. I am sure there are many more of these examples

b) when foldering planes, please consider historical sequence. If possible, have earlier planes earlier in the tech tree than the newer ones. This might not be easy and possible everywhere, but there are too many examples where the sequence is not considered. While you might be less interested in the lower tiers, this is where it seems complicated and where you could please pay special attention

c) Overall, please put most effort in the delicate line between Tier2 and Tier3. Since this is the defining Tier for daily tasks and also for the battle pass, please be very careful here.

d) at the moment you seem to define that BR 3,7 is sometimes Tier3 and sometimes Tier2. I would like to suggest to put this decisive BR to 3,3. This would give more players the chance to participate in daily tasks and in the battle pass → which will earn you more money

e) with BR3,7 as the general line for tier3, you cut off nearly all torpedo bombers and agile light bombers from usage in daily tasks and battle pass. For example the US SB2Cs are gone out of tier3 and the only light bombers left are the Japanese B7A2s … I don’t even dare hoping for JU87s in tier 3 :)

f) with BR3,7 as the general tier 3 line you also cut off many strike aircraft, which also affects the battle pass and daily tasks

g) please pay attention to the KI-61 (at BR3,7) and Ki-44 (at BR3,7): while the US and Japanese ones are going to be in rank2, the same plane and same BR for China will be in rank3 → this seems utterly unfair and not reasonable. Please review this especially. In my opinion and many others, these planes are very strong and belong into rank3

h) as you can see, i don’t care for the other ranks and BRs as this area (BR3,7 and BR3,3) is the most important when talking about daily tasks ans battle pass → here is where you earn some money. So please put BR3,3 as the defining BR and put all 3,7 in rank3.

i) as a last comment: please check the german tech tree for fighters in general. There is a huge gaping hole between BR3,3 and BR4,0 → there is literally only 1 FW190 at BR3,7. the rest is a huge black hole. No fighters at 3,3 and 4,0 and only 1 at BR3,7. No other country has this kind of gap. :)

Thanks for forwarding this to the right people in you team and considering my thoughts. Looking very much forward to the upcoming changes.

I would also like to have detailed description of the research / purchase mechanics for relocated vehicles. Currently on the dev server, I can purchase the USSR La-5FN having previously purchased the La-5F (foldered behind the La-5), but not the La-5 that precedes it in the new tree. However in the US tree, where I had researched but not purchased everything from the P-47D-5 through the P-51H, none of the previously researched vehicles can be purchased as they were foldered and the main line must be researched and purchased first. The conditions due to the relocation does make different relationships between the vehicles in these two cases, but it would be good to know what the requirements will be so that we can make decisions about what to research and purchase prior to the update.

Hi, i have a question to this grouping.

I have F-16 ADF, and after vehicle grouping this F-16 will be moved into “folder” where is F-16A (with bombs) is first

And also i have IS-2 №321 from 9th May event, and i don’t have the regular IS-2, so without researching IS-2 i cannot go further in this tree

Can i after F-16 ADF start research F-16C without researching F-16A in upcoming patch?

The M4A1 76 at 4.7 being the first rank 3 tank that’s not an SPAA, is so disheartening for events and dailies.

Notice how they didn’t move the 75 Shermans down to rank II in other nations. Some at lower BRs they remain at rank III. Same with the Helldivers. P-51C goes to rank II in US tree, but that’s okay just buy the premium in another nation and you get a rank III version.

Why 2A5 and 2A6 are grouped and not 2A5/2A5 PSO?

Good Question, I’m wondering the same … just started resarching the A
