Get the F-16XL in the Space Program Event!

Oh true, I forgot about M829A3 being added

come on guys lets make the modes job easier and not go completly off topic about an Abrams

Eh they likely won’t do anything unless it was a lot bigger. I’ve seen threads go 300 replies off topic with no mod interference

this is official devblog tho

Anyways, the F-16XL will fit in nicely with the list of vehicles that have fantasy specs

Another example to show why hiding ahistorical vehicles is silly

It doesn’t matter lol

Examples of ahistorical vehicles that are hidden?

whenever anyone says “kik” or “lol” on the fourms they are usually angry maybe delete that from the vocabulary

Ho-Ri, Panther II, Coelian

KT 105, Maus

In my opinion, they do not fit the definition of “ahistorical vehicles.” They are completely fake, but I do see what you mean.

Bro, what? It’s not.

I mean, the Maus is still available and not really ahistorical, considering there actually is a Maus in Kubinka

I’d consider the KT105 as a paper vehicle though, as they never even tried to build that

Oh ye, my bad

Nah it really is funny because if you’re active enough on the forums you learn most of the mods don’t wanna deal with us lol.

For someone like Smin I wouldn’t want his job, he shows up once in RxR and instantly gets 4 trillion pings for stuff, it’s the same here, they don’t wanna jump in and deal with stuff because arguing with people online is like arguing with a wall

Let’s not forget he also gets DMs about them lmao

Being a mod must be hell, so I do give a lot of respect to those that put up with our shenanigans

Also EAP pings

Fair, we can disagree about what constitutes as ahistorical, fake or whatever, but I’m glad you get my point

Would be nice if Gaijin either always went for proper realism or stopped acting like they do and start using the selective realism on more vehicles when appropriate

Either go all in on the selective realism and use it to provide better balance and more interesting vehicles or stop making up configurations and give vehicles their historical loadouts and specs

Depends on what is your definition for “ahistorical”. I see it as historically inaccurate or contradicting actual history facts. And fake vehicles do fit that definition considering they or their existence contradict one simple fact - they never existed.

Job: Gaijin community manager
Requirements: respond to 100 “where teaser” pings simultaneously and somehow stay sane

Idea for a camo to Gaijin or as a userskin to WT Live creators.

The standard grey camo XL-1 received later during testing but with parts of the original camo showing through as seen here from pictures taken during the painting process.

There’s also this of XL-1 fitted with a laminar flow wing glove during NASA testing.
