Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Why 24th?

Does it really count though? I mean it was one of two teasers for Drone Age, and it wasn’t even the actual teaser. The real Drone Age teaser was on a Thursday (as usual)

Because that’s Thursday

Because I said so

At least there’s a chance of me getting the T55E1 now, missed it the first time and I am a sucker for prototypes.

Still could be and probably will be, Italy was originally a German subtree and the Viljante sold poorly. Only reason why anyone uses the Bison or T-80 is because they are top tier vehicles. I’d be surprised if we don’t see an Indian TT, if only to capitalize on the Indian market.

Nope once a sub is announced it will stay in itls parent tree

And Gaijin always stick to there word?

no it wasn’t lmao, Germany has a couple Italian planes / tanks because they weren’t their own tree, they were never classed as a sub tree. its like Australia or Canada we have boats planes and tanks of these nations but they aren’t a sub, same with how America had merkavas or the uk had the shot kal delet.

India most likely will stay a British sub tree as much as I don’t want it and wish we never got it, at the very least they will most likely stay as premiums and events

we havent seen a sub tree moved even after the heaps of back lash both the Netherlands got or India got

Boat birthdays again?

I doubt the first premium arh carrier would be swedish, likely US or Russian since that’ll pull in way more money

MiG-23-98 as Tier 8 option
Never carried R-27s, but used R-77s

first squadron ARH carrier was Chinese so It can be anything

The thing is they would capture an Indian fanbase a lot better if it was its own tree. A lot of potential money to be made as India has quite a bit of patriotism like China

and india would probably come like china, a heap of copy paste with maybe 5 unique vics in the entire tree and get slowly better over time

Also gonna throw my 2 cents into that Swedish rank 7 premium discussion…

JA37D with AMRAAM would be a terrible choice for Gaijin because of no proper A2G weaponry, airframe limitations and skill it would require from the player. Danish or Norwegian F-16A is a much better option but even some unit specific Gripen A would do.

I’m afraid HMD was never even tested with JA37

Ah yes, just like the Italian subtree in Germany.

Or the Israeli subtree in the US.

Or the French subtree in the British techtree.

And unfortunately, Gaijin’s word has always been final, they’ve never said one thing and done the other.

Like, we still lack supersonic aircraft.

We have yet to see a modern MBT.

And we have yet to see battleships.

Clearly, Gaijin’s word is to be taken with utmost sincerity. They have NEVER said one thing and done another, especially when they can make more money.

In unrelated news, did you know that the Viljante has the record of being the fastest premium removed from sale?
