Kinda surprised that the KV-7 U-13 being in the trailer has kinda flown under the radar. While not directly stated in the leaks, it was heavily implied to be the event vehicle for Dreams Come True, but it was reveled in the trailer, which hasn’t happened for previous event vehicles for Dreams Come True.

Wouldn’t say that. Gaijin has, of late, been adding in a ton of prototype vehicles into tech trees, so it’s far from a guarantee.

That’s what the leaks implied, but it was revealed in the treiler which hasn’t been done before for any event vehicles, at least to my knowledge. Certainly not for Dreams Come True.

Which is what the SA Hind practically is to my understanding. About all it shares with Russian Hinds is the chassis, otherwise it’s all SA tech.

How dare Gaijin accomodate their largest playerbases that make them the most money! Oh the humanity!

I get that, but the SA Hind is not equivalent. It’s so heavily modified to the point where all it really shares with the base model is the chassis. What’s more important is that this is not copy-paste, which does far more damage to the uniqueness of techtrees then the cross pollination of Western and Eastern tech.

Overall, I think what you want is a very specific niche that isn’t going to be catered to (whether you think thats right or wrong) outside of maybe some changes to the Sim modes

Yeah it is Renown/Repulse, so maybe

So either Repulse for the TT as a lazy C&P for a new Rank VI (which would be ironic with Renown only at Rank V)

or its HE-VT shells for the Renown as they are currently missing

or its a new torp plane for japan

or its some new naval mechanic like AI aircraft in NAB/NRB or something like Naval Assault

Yeah, it’s 100% a Queen Elizabeth, on her WW2 refit- just look at the superstructure

Perhaps all the player that are not main US/RU/GER should stop give them money, we will see if they like that x)

Although they have similarities, they’re nearly two completely different planes. I pray we get it, but I hav e a feeling it will be copy paste if we do…

I get the complaint though. When we have something like the Wildcat (among other helis) with its Martlet missiles that would be really fun to have in game, but instead we are gettng essentially another soviet aircraft, is a really annoying

Yeah, Germany does deserve the Soviet vehicles due to its history, but Italy, Sweden and Britain historically don’t have such a history and in the cases of Hungary, Finland and India, the nations don’t either add anything of value to their host tech trees with the russian/soviet copy paste or overshadow the domestic vehicles.

Sure, I don’t have to play these vehicles, but I still end up having to research them due to how the TTs work and I will have to deal with those team kill magnets in sim as well (when I actually get to playing sim lol)

Its B7A2

So you want the British equivalent of basically the IDF Blackhawk with Spikes as opposed to the fully equipped attack helicopter from South Africa?

Equally, SA is already a subtree and the Super Hinds have been around longer than the LMM armed Wildcats so you could look at it either way

Hu?

Britain has one of the worst SPAA in game unless we are getting a new one that I didnt spot in the teaser.

A CAS plane that is a side grade if not a downgrade over the F-15E. F-16C, Su-34 or even Su-25SM3

Is the adats bad?

Where do Finland, Hungary, and India go then? What about the Finish, Hungarian, and Indian players who’d like to play their nation’s vehicles?

It is annoying from a research perspective, but it’s not like it takes that long with premium and efficient grinding…

Unless they are giving super heavy warhead Type 91 torpedoes (420kg vs the usual 235/204kg warhead), those B7As look to be standard TT ones.
