If this is true and Gaijin accepted money to sabotage a faction in their competetive multiplayer game then I don’t think this will be well received anywhere…
Gaijin really need to be cautious here, such a decision can kill their most profitable game
Because Germany having an older eastern German aircraft in its own TT is fine. But Britain having India and their imported aircraft in its tech tree is just dumb to me, even if it’s for game balance.
While I have every tree in the game as far as air goes, the reason I did grind different trees was to experience and enjoy the different things I knew would come to those countries and belong to them. I’m okay with the same vehicles going to other nations as long as they have some differences, like the South African Gripen using Derbys instead of AIM-120s like the others, as well as the Japanese F-15 having access to both American and domestic weaponry, and the F-16C Block 40 in the Israeli tree with both Derbys and 120s, it adds to the spice and makes things a little more interesting at least for me. But this move of Singapore is just very exaggerated imo and if this happens why did I go for other trees then? This only makes the value of their premium vehicles worsen for the less favored trees even more, I grinded China to have access to their domestic vehicles and the F-16V which the US itself doesn’t have, with Singapore and Indonesia going to China then why did I grind Israel if I went there for a future Strike Eagle and F-15EX, feels like a slap on the face
Britain want the Typhoon, the same as France want the Rafale and not a Dutch/Belgian F-16
Gaijin are reluctant to add the Euro canards when we have Tranche 1 versions that are not superior to the F-15C MSIIP we have in game.
Who knows. If I remember correctly, the Singaporean government held Ubisoft’s feet to the fire over Skull and Bones. Ubisoft wanted to bail on the title but some deal with their country forced them to produce it, costing them some $650-850 million USD. So at the very least there’s a finger on the gaming industry from the government and I don’t think putting them with China will fly under the radar.
