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
i bet smin already got pinged 100 times today, to ask where the devblogs/ teaser are
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.
