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

Britain and Sweden are the only nations that have nothing competitive in air at the moment. But I guess Gripen in Dec will fix that for Sweden

L21A1 APFSDS Gaijin when

I’m going to do some specials things to you :(

Everyone’s talking about Gripen this year, but I wonder if it wasn’t “within the year” from the moment it was announced, so not in a calendar year.

I hope Germany gets better Leo’s too. Not as high a priority as UK, SWE, JAPAN, and ITALY.

UK needs -
SPAA for 7.X, 9.X, 10.7 and 11+
Light tanks (sadly not this update)
Better fast tank destroyers and missile carriers like Land Rover WOMBAT and Ferret Swingfire
Challenger 2 to not be made of wet hand-towels
SPGs
Top tier Jet fighter
Bombers to fill the 10.X gap (Avro vulcan, I fucking beg you)
a fucking break
IFVs

Japan needs:
A capable CAS / Multi-Role Aircraft
An SPAA to fill 6.X, 7.X, 9.7+
More MBTs

Italy needs:
Any kind of capable missile SPAA for christ sake lmao

France needs:
Leclerc to not be dogshit
IFVs
MICA missiles

Sweden needs:
A capable fighter jet at top tier

I think UK is in need of the most changes from what I can tell, but its rough for all of them

Honestly I don’t know. Whether its this year, next year, 5 years. Swedens next aircraft will be the Gripen. Without that, but if they do add AMRAAM, then Viggen could get a buff too with them.

Gripen will turn Sweden/Fin into maybe the closest thing to the next major nation

UK needs alot of work. it’s just gone completely neglected, and needs multiple vehicles to fill massive capability gaps, not like Japan who needs only 2-3

Yep, essentially for the past 2-4 years. Britain has been pretty neglected. With additions either poorly done or poorly chosen. Real shame considering we were an original nation and have such an amazing line up of stuff at lower tier, but it just gets to a certain point and they just sort of, forget about us, Its around BR7/8 ish

Gripen is not that much stronger FM wise to Mirage 2000s afaik.

France still have more right that some to be classed as major nation. Futureproof everywhere, from ground, air, and even navy if we go more modern. Without getting copy past/help from bigger nations.

And Gripen is no mach for the day EF/Rafales/similar gonna comes. (not saying it’s a bad plane, still capable and a beauty too (more beautiful than the EF to me, but less than the rafale :p )

I know this question is out of the blue, but how are chinese top tier jest preforming? I havent played them and i bearly hear anything about them.

Based on convos with a few chinese mains over the past few days in this thread

F-16 is still an F-16, so reasonably good in A2A, but they lack decent high tier CAS and would like a native plane. Likely J-10 pretty soon

You want something sad? Look at the rank IV French ground since the TTs rework :p

I don’t see a reason why China should get the Lavi before Israel

But relatively speaking, France is a “newer” nation in WT, but either way, they need to just forget about US/USSR for half a year and flush out the other nations. So many gaps that render nations at certains BRs less than fun. I should be able to pick any nation at any BR and just play it. But I tried to go back and play the BR6-7 in ground and was frustrated by no SPAA.

It could come, but I doubt it unfortunately. As its just a prototype aircraft for Israel, and they only add Prototypes where needed.

or you know dont play minor countries

Honestly needs:
-ADATS to be moved to the TD line
-Tracked Rapier to be at 9.7 - 10.0
-Possibly Land Ceptor
-S.53 Shorland missile SPAA at 9.0
-LMM and fixes for Stormer HVMs tracking and hit detection
-An entire line of light vehicles including: Land Rover MILAN/WOMBAT/Javelin(anti-tank), CVR(T) Stormer variants, Ferret scout car variants, FV432 variants, Alvis Saladin
-Stormer AD to fill the same role as LAV-AD (most nations seem to have a Guns + IR missile combo vic)
-Challenger 2 to be completely reworked and overhauled (jesus christ what a mess,)
-A top tier british jet fighter for A2A. Not an interceptor. Not a strike plane. A fighter this time that can go toe to toe with F-16s and MiG29SMTs
-Warrior IFV and AJAX variants
-more TV guided missile aircraft like Bucc S2B
-A 10.X bomber (Avro Vulcan)
-Maybe some top tier Canadian vehicles like LAVs instead for SPAA filler an IFVs
-Tornado needs its CM loads fixed
Probably a whole lot more but that’s as much as I can think of right now.

Because that is the most stupid sentence ever uttered in this thread,

Its the same as saying. Lets just delete all nations from the game except US and USSR

xdd

I agree with you. But you see, Sweden is even newer, but really better treated…

And i really hope they also make better choice to wich vehicle to add, TTs or premium.

Because for making the French air TT appealing with premium they do a really bad job, choising only basic variants of planes, when other more powerfull/interesting could come. (could have some later Mirage IIIs or later Mirage F1 like Mirage F1 2000 (Mirage 2000 engine, advanced weaponry and other stuff, for giving an idea)

But no, only basic variant adding nothing more than the butchered TT ones.
