Leopard 2A8IT, 2A8NL, Strv 123B

Given that the F-15IA exists as a baseline, but it’s individual model has not been delivered yet, could we expect to see these Leo 2A8 variants any time soon?.

If anyone needs it here, it’s Italy. They have three top tier tanks and two of them are the same BR as the premium Abrams.

Apparently deliveries start next year for Italy, so hopefully we can see it in game then (if not sooner).

It’s funny to think that the Swedish tree will get an A8 before the Danish A7.

I like the addition of the F-15IA and the A-8, but it goes to show how biased Gaijin is toward China; the inclusion of the F-16V Block 72 instead of the Block 70 was based on the fact that Taiwan has not yet received its Block 70 fighters (they have been paid for and ordered, but have not yet been delivered).

I don’t think this type of addition is a bad thing, but Gaijin should be consistent in these kinds of decisions—either they do it for all nations, or they don’t do it for any of them.

I was considering asking a CM like smin if he could provide a definitive gaijin position on vehicles,
Such as whether a vehicle or weapon has to tick the following criteria to be added:
Marketed for Sale (F-16AJ)
Sold with defined configuration (F-15IA)
Planned for production but funding cut (Ho-Ri)
Compatible but not bought (Malaysian KH-38)
Tested but not produced yet (AESA typhoon)

Etc, etc
I think the community needs to press for consistency whenever gaijin does this stuff, and having a concrete answer would allow for so many bug reporting possibilities

I agree

These arrived at the start of the month, so hopefully gaijin will give us the new engine, would be a massive help for the F-16V, which feels like a waste of 420k rp currently 國防部 Ministry of National Defense, ROC(Taiwan) 🇹🇼 on X: "The first two #F16_BLK70 aircraft acquired from the United States have arrived safely in #Taiwan. A powerful new addition to the #ROCAirForce marks a new milestone in air defense and further strengthens our national defense capabilities.… / X

There is already consistency.
Your entire post is consistency.
Ho-Ri & F-16AJ are removed or to be removed vehicles.
The rest of your list is literally the consistent rules set over a decade ago.

Well I am asking for gaijin to solidfy their position on this stuff instead of setting vague precedents that change on whim

They’ve already solidified their position over 12 years ago.
Nothing has changed besides the removal of fake vehicles.

Nothing is vague.

😌 peak

Just no 😭

It would be insanely peak wym

2a8Nl, we dont know which configuration is orderd

Strv123B is an even worse offender, from everything we currently learned, it actualy doesnt come with an APS system

Technical compatibility matters.

greed Italy’s fine there lower brs need work yall have a 2a7 from Hungary youll get another ariete variant to pad your line up
