Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 4)


@Smin1080p can you explain if its not hard for you, why tornado keeps to be nerfed after there was a ray of hope of this dead body being at least normal?
Why the same pods keep getting different resolution. Its very bad if we also get nerfed laser guided bombs

You’re just trying to justify what can’t be justified by using the literal meaning of things.

Yes, they’re not the same because they’ve got some ERA block or 2 more machineguns.

But the base and concept of the vehicle is the same. It’s a Centurion, it’s a Patton, a T-54, that’s my point. Not even mentioning complete copy pastes such as the Shilka or the Sparka.

It’s NOT original. The only original israeli vehicles (from my current knowledge) are the Merkavas and the Zachlam Tager and the Hovet (I believe it’s just a M163 with AA missiles). Countries with such a low quantity of original vehicles should not be added as single countries, in my opinion.

Yeah, that can be saved as somewhat original, but the rest is straight up copy paste with some ERA.

tbh I’ve been enjoying playing isreal and the later pattons are pretty cool, I could also mention how the Shot kal gimel and dalet have modernised 105s thermals era and better engines then the cent mk10s they are based on, but i guess that isn’t “unique” enough

So just because a country has like 4 or 5 original vehicles it deserves its own separate tree?

i mean china has next to no original tanks at low brs so should they just not have a rank 1 through 3?

We’re talking about modern times. It’s understandable that some countries need to rely on exported or captured vehicles to start their trees.

which guess where most of the actual copy and paste tanks are?

I think plenty countries have vehicles based in familiar platforms that still classify as unique vehicles, Israel being one such nation, Sweden being another example.
Unfortunately Israel is bloated in similar Magach modifications rather than the focus being more on the more diverse variants, but I definitely think a bunch of them would class as unique.

and if we are talking about modern times then israel only has domestic tanks at rank 7 with a single copy paste SPAA

There’s a difference in adding a foreign tank because it’s needed to fill gaps. At least they change; you’ve got a T-34, then a Sherman, whatever, but Israel is just “Patton 1, Patton 2, Patton 3…”

so when are we expecting the update to drop?

I’d say at the beginning of the next week honestly.

Friday at the earliest Monday/Tuesday latest

Im more leaning towards Friday

what? Israel doesn’t have any Brazilian Merkava? also, you cant say “fill gaps” when in the entirety of the Chinese rank 1 through 3 there are 2 domestic tanks the ZSD63 and the object 211

ignore the first part dyslexia killed me there

I can’t find any information about Brazil using anything other than E and Fs.

Thank you, my main concern is that it’s just an absolute pain in the ass to find any documents or info about Chinese tanks(especially when im an American who only speaks burger) much less soruces that Gajjin might expect as evidence, so I want to preemptively start gathering info, as I’m very confident that the Type-15/VT-5 will be one of the next major additions for China sometime next year
