Consdier the state of the nato player when China got F16MLU, it should be more serious, however if nato player doesn’t mind China will get M2k, ah64e,f16v and M1A2T, I think chinese player wouldn’t care a worst version of VT4 on the opposite side

Hell it’s not even in the files which is a bull in it self

It remains to be seen whether we’re going to have two dev servers. AFAIK the Gripen C is still being worked on, which means it’s either going to show up tomorrow for the end of this dev server, come with the second dev server, or just not appear at all until live in the case that there is no second dev server

With the current state of their new rank 8 vehicles, i sure hope they gonna make another DEV Server, because the current state of them is ridiculous

how about the fv107…?

which is terrible because it leaves next to no time to actually test it for bugs, which if the last couple additions to the uk air branch are anything to go off of then well i guess i should come back in 2 months when its in a decent place

The hidden Italian AMX suggests that there might be, but I don’t want to say one way or the other because I don’t know.

Might happen, might not, I wouldn’t know. All I’ll say is don’t believe everything on a leak list in case something ends up not happening.

Yeah that is the difference however. The F-16A MLU has the best FM and loadout on launch compared to everyone else. From what I have heard in social media conversations, Chinese players were angered about a VT-4 to Thailand before China, now given that we not only got it first but a better one, I think most of us will be fine.
Taiwanese vehicles might be a bit too ahead, except for the abrams, or the apache. The MR-2000-5E has MICAs and exclusively MICAs, and the F16V is comparable to a C BLK 52 but with worse engines. Ching Kuo is also out of the question with no F3s around.
I believe 60% of the Chinese player base who started before 2022 have not even played China. Hell I brought the prems last anniversary sale and I am still fiddling with AFTs while getting distracted by France, Italy and Britain.

Thailand also has more Chinese vehicles like VN-1 and VN-16

I’m Thai and from what I read in Thai military forum, Thailand also bought GL5 APS system for their VT-4 tanks but they never equipped them because there is no need right now. (They want to preserve the equipment)

Spoiler



Is there even a reason to play Britain top tier anymore ?
It seems like they are taking the mick now.

God I want a ROCAF Sabre dog

I don’t suppose there’s a chance the French naval tree will receive an actually competitive cruiser or battleship this side of the 2020s, is there? Starting to feel like they’re just scamming anyone who bought, or will buy the premiums.

I am always quite vocal about seeing Chinese vehicles on other TTs as I believe a few copypastes won’t hurt and it will get other players interest in China. However most of these operators, as I previously mentioned on part 3, are formal French and British colonies and they are not necessarily fine with playing their vehicles under French or British flags. Correct if I am wrong but I believe Thai players will probably have less of a sentiment towards playing with Japan.

I am not so sure. Chinse players fight for their stuff. Like for example bug reports. For chinese stuff there are always multiple upvotes even more than 100. Other countries issues gets so much attention from players if its Abrams broken armor or something on similar level.

So they want to store it sealed? And what if there will be need to equip them and there will be no time for it. lol

Thai players just feel glad they will have some sub tree and fine being with Japan or maybe ASEAN tech tree.

The Duguay-Troin is not bad, its SAP obliterates destroyers, well it is a cruiser at 4.7 after all. I do not regret it.
France will probably have a smoother transition into the age of WW2 and 15 inch however, as there is the dunkerque before the richelieu. What I want to see however is the De Grasse in her post war config, obliterating destroyers with 8 centerline 5 inches and 57 bofors.
It will arguably the Germans and the Russians who struggle the most, since there are nothing before the Bismark and the Sovietsky Soyuz class. The Sovietsky Soyuz is also very meh(I am totally baffled by the fact that they just need to copy the littorio and it is still screwed up). Not sure about Japan, they do not have something between Ise and Fuso and Nagato, afaik.(sorry Mr. Isoroku we dont have playable carriers in this game). The US has the Tennessee as a filler and the Brits probably have their hands full of choices.
