pretty much it was confirmed this year by a dev and wont be added this update so pretty much 100% unless they run into some problems

Yeah, I’ve read the vehicle list, it’s not this update, and this being the 4th major update, it has to be in the next one.

I won’t take that into account as more vehicles will be added more or less by the 2nd day

yeah but i dont think the gripen is being added this update, think about this we probably are recieving a massive update by december

Yea I agree with you 100%.

I just hope they do another Israeli surprise release in this update with that new nation.

Mi-8T(V) is a first generation Hip with Klimov TV2-117 engines.

Mi-8AMT(Sh) and Mi-8MT(V) are 2nd and 3rd generation Hips with Klimov TV3-117 engines. Mi-8AMTs are made by Ulan-Ude factory and Mi-8MTs are made by Kazan factory. The additional Sh and V suffixes merely describe their role: Sh for Shturovik (attack/assault) and V for Vooruzhennyy (armed). All Mi-8(A)Ms models differs from a first generation Hip such as the Mi-8TV by having the tail rotor on the port side instead of the starboard side, an APU hump behind the rotors, plus shorter inlet ducts and a differently shaped exhaust for the TV3 engines.
It’s a more powerful helicopter that can carry heavier ordnance than the Mi-8TV.

As for the nose looking different to what you expected:
What Gaijin modelled is the initial post-soviet development of Mi-8AMTSh, which is the TV3-117-powered Ulan-Ude helicopter roughly equivalent to the Kazan Mi-8MTV-3 but differs by having an extra set of hardpoints and the ability to fire ATGMs. Making it a true attack helicopter rather than merely an armed transport. Kazan’s Mi-8MTV-3 was widely adopted by the Russian military while the Ulan-Ude Mi-8AMTSh was considered to have more potential pursuing export sales outside Russia under the name Mi-171Sh (Kazan’s exported aircraft are called Mi-17).
These two Russian factories have continued producing competing Hip designs and are constantly updating them, often duplicating features developed by the rival factory, but with basic differences between the product produced by each factory. So now we have the familiar third generation Hips with pointed noses and various nigh-flying capabilities: Ulan-Ude Mi-8AMTSh and Kazan Mi-8MTV-5.

The 3rd generation Ulan-Ude variant is the first Hip attack variant officially adopted by the Russian military, so it is the first designated Mi-8AMTSh by the Russian armed forces even though Russia has produced several different versions of Mi-8AMTSh commercially in the past.
Indeed, the interior ministry’s missile-capable Mi-8MNP-2 had Mi-8AMTSh (Ми-8АМТШ in Cyrillic) stencilled on them until they received a new official designation, even though they use a second generation Hip airframe that bears little resemblance to the Russian air force configuration of Mi-8AMTSh.

Yeah, usually are, but Sweden got a “airplane” last update and I don’t know how they do it, but I figured it was an “alternating” system where they add one every other update for minor nations.

By this logic the F-111 shouldn’t be able to be added

In which imho it shouldn’t as not only does the US not need it.
Now it’s breaks yet another gaijin rule of not adding aircraft with massive bombload.

So now that have been crushed where me Vulcan :(

Yeah, agreed, but I think you oversigted the Minor Nation part of that post lol. Minor nations are like hated love-children of gaijin, it just gets whatever’s left over.

The very bottom is true as I seen two of them and planning to see a Third before the year is out :)

I’m just gonna put my 2 cents in here for a bit, but Canada is an independent Country, and has been since 1982. We’re part of the Commonwealth, yes, and King Charles III is the King of Canada, but his role is only ceremonial. Hence why our flag had also changed.
Canada and the UK are just close allies, same thing with Canada and the US.
I’m just gonna leave it there though so I don’t take the entire thread with it

Apart from that, I’m looking towards this update in some aspects, unsure about some of the other stuff though

But what nation? We don’t matter anyway we all know it will be a nation they can fill with soviet copy-and-paste. I’d prefer a Western nation next but without going Israil style with their tree we have 3 choices(from what pressing my ear to the ground has learnt):

Canada
Australia and New Zealand (I have people telling me this won’t work)
BeNeLux (iffy right now as multination trees don’t seem to be the snail’s thing)

Have there been many vehicles added for this update found in the files yet? Haven’t been keeping up to pace with things.

Going by interview logic and in game pattern logic Poland is properly be next

As much as I’d love having Canada be it’s own tree, it’d consist of copy-paste for some stuff, the only real modern things we’ve made are IFVs and LAVs, our modern tanks are Leopard 2s, and our jets that are currently being used are CF-18s, but Canada is buying F-35s thankfully.

Personally, I’d prefer seeing Canada fill in gaps in the British tree than to have it’s own independent tree which is just as bad as China.

Doesn’t mean that we still can’t add Canadian tanks, ships/boats, and aircraft, which i’m surprised the only real Canadian aircraft is the Mosquito FB.Mk.26, which is for China of all nations lol, unless there’s some aircraft in the british tree i can’t think of atm.
