Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Perhaps when playing as the Swiss you too may return from a battle with a new friend 😉

Buccaneer is pretty much solely base bombing and…unfortunately i’m one of the weirdos who enjoy ir lmao
Blowing up convoys, bases, etc, good fun.
The Avro Vulcan, The Victor, and Valiant would all do pretty good as 8.7 - 9.0 and 10.0 jet bombers. They carry the same sort of ordinance as buccaneer, just a new airframe that performs better and has more CMs
It probably wont be added, but I dont think it’d be pointless for CAS or ARB. It’d be pretty good for carpet bombing or to win games via ground unit kills

Another secret military super power :P

Not sure about Valiant and Victor, but certain Vulcan variants could carry AIM-9Gs.
Perhaps this would give it a leg-up in being added to the game.

They would be badass nuke carriers haha

Screw the Canberra and the Jaguar, if I ever get a nuke I wanna drop it while letting the Vulcans engines howl

That has been suggested and past onto the devs. But yeah, Vulcan would be fun and differernt. Even seen the suggestion that the Buc should be moved to the naval line and then replaced by the Vulcan in the bomber line

I agree 100%

The point, from my comments here today, is that I don’t see too many TT options that can be desirable and competitive without being combined TTs.

Another point that we are not considering is the “market” of players behind each new TT. I play on the North American server and in each game I see that more than 30% are Brazilians and Argentines. The base of Turkish, Polish and Korean players is also considerable. We don’t need to explain the situation in India…

Personally I support the idea that Belgium and Holland have their own TT and not subtrees.

Let’s all be real tho, what we really need right now isn’t 4th/4.5th gen fighters, AMRAAMs, strategic bombers, new nations or sub trees

We need naval (and arcade) maps in ARB and more weather types

Or a really well made RB EC gamemode

a combined naval ec with air rb ec would be sick, to just allow naval planes to really shine and to allow more aa oriented ships to also shine

I’d love if there was a proper ARB EC mode, the idea behind EC is great, but when the maps come up they are just slightly larger normal maps with additional bases
It would finally allow bombers and interceptors to do the jobs they were designed to do

Spoiler

We also need more A-4 lol

With Israel, anything could be added but I’d like for them to be WW2 nations or existed at the time.
nations I’m 80% sure of to I’m sure of could be added independently
Czechoslovakia
Yugoslavia
Poland
Canada
Australia

Nations this talk has made me realize
Benelux(one nation that is the main tree different one a subtree and the last part of it unofficially)
Switzerland.

This list was just WW2 nations that existed. I’m sure there are a few post-war nations that could be added like Korea.

With the current focus on more modern jets I am happy about every older jet we can get our hands on tbh

I doubt it will ever be added, it’s probably going to stay in CDK forever. For the tree it isn’t that necessary and USSR TT already has this SU-22 as squadron, I doubt they will C&P it.

Yep, its why I play SB over ARB these days. But it could be stupidly easy to modify the EC maps we have for SB to add some maps to ARB with carriers and then adding a good RB EC gamemode would open the door for more people to play “sim”. I get why people may not want to play SB. But the result is that its basically abdandoned at this point. It takes months and months of posts to get any tiny change made.

If there was an RB EC gamemode, I think it would be very popular and thus SB EC could just get second-hand love

Australia can’t stand on its own, even though I would instantly become an Aussie main if they were a possible candidate for a new nation

but I think they should have been Britains Sub-TT and not SA

Australia doesn’t have enough for a subtree.

As @Mysto_ just said, australia really doesn’t have much to offer
