Teaser Trailers are about updates
“Heroes” Trailer was about the game itself
its quite simple, they arent the same

I’m still hoping gaijin will surprise us with a Scorpion in the trailer alongside the Scimitar, would be a nice meme.
it would be a waste to make a “Heroes” trailer for every update, cause it would be unnecessary

They have a different purpose.
New trailers’ purpose is to showcase, exclusively so thin the game’s engine, upcoming content in a cool way while displaying War Thunder’s essence through ingame footage.
The trailer you linked was a fully animated cinematic war-themed video which, although beautifully made and emotional, doesn’t really say much about War Thunder or an update’s content; it could work as a cinematic for any WW2-themed game or even as a standalone animation.

Personally I’m thinking we might get it next week tbh
And often they fail. Focusing on a couple vehicles while missing the bulk. Some barely even focusing on the vehicles the update is named after. Danger zone on the other extreme almost solely shows f14. You’d think it was the only vehicle added that update.
Well, they are preliminary teasers, not full in-depth showcases.
I would like them to show more too, but that usually comes just the next day through the dev streams and dev server.

People literally saying their job is to show the new content. Point out they often fail in doing that and I get told it’s just a teaser.
I’m confused by what trailers you’re referring to.
Dance of Dragons - Prominently features J-10A/JF-17
Seek and Destroy - Prominently features Top tier Jets
Alpha Strike - Prominently features the Alpha Jet
Air Superiority - Prominently features the new Top Tier Jets
Kings of Battle - Prominently Features the new Artillery
Sons of Attila - Prominently features Hungarian Ground Tree
like I could keep going, but… yeah they focus on the main named thing of the update.

Same… I’ve been waiting for Scharnhorst equals since 2021, and for actually new Rank VIII MBTs ever since they were released in 2023, and for Pantsir equals since 2023 too…
And for MBT fixes for even longer lmao. Naval fixes (nuclear shell rooms, American BB reloads…) and decompression…

I think “Seek & Destroy” mostly revolved around Medium Range ARH missiles (AMRAAM, R-77, MICA and so on)… Hence the name, “Seek & Destroy”
Conveniently skip la royal. An update for the introduction of the French fleet. Remind me again how many French ships were in that trailer? Make it easier how much French stuff at all. Maybe 2 seconds
Sons of atilla, 1 second of footage and a flag mid video.
Starfighter has 2 seconds of Starfighter footage mid battle.
I didn’t “skip” la royale it was the next one but since you wanna be smart. The MAJORITY of that trailer was spent showing off the French Au F1 artillery and Mirage 2000-5F so uhmmmm
the 2nd most shown off vehicle in that trailer being the Freccia and then the J-8F
so yeah these teasers do their job correctly
Guy’s am I shizo or why is the devblog compressed now. Just like they added a video above it which is hidden.
It looks flattened you guys understand what I mean?
damn we really reaching back nearly 5 years to prove a point.

And? Are there gonna be any more exciting news today or can I go to sleep?
Eh, I feel that’s kinda a weak reason as to why Japan shouldn’t get Thailand as a subtree. They had strong relations during WW2, and modern relations are still good, at least from what I understand. They’re one of, if not the only, possible subtree for Japan that makes complete sense. Most of ASEAN has SOME bad blood with Japan because of their actions during WW2, even if they have largely gotten over it if the discourse surrounding the subject is to be believed on the forums.
