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

I don’t mind USA getting ton of jets, they would say it has a lot irl, minor nations have a few compated to it; but hell why don’t we get new interwar/WW2 plane for Italy each update, they also have a lot of them without even taking Hungary and Romania into account.

And that the issue they could be bulking up smaller nations to get people to play them more not just add filler because someone dear god will get bored

Germany will already be getting Swiss F/A-18C next update, which will put it at the peak of air capabilities among all nations until they get Eurofighter, which will put them even further at the peak.

They just can’t… I mean, which F-15 could it have “easily” got, which you mentioned?

Yeah, its a hole they dug for us.

Least popular nations get less (both in content and attention) so less people play them.

This can’t be the reason because Germany would get a Leo 2 every update.

Exactly then they make the problem worse by adding subs and not actually adding anything from the host
Which create more problems of not having space for when they finally do, do them.

Ground Top Tier has been abandoned since December 2023… not a single MBT for anyone ever since.

Gaijin has just been putting way, way, way, way, way too much focus on Top Tier air this whole year, IMO.

Not enough focus if you ask me…

But I exclusively play top tier so I’m extremely biased. Personally, looking forward to when everyone gets their Gen 4.5s and we’re at the cusp of Gen 5s.

Hyping up modern toys and selling grinding machines to get them faster is their entire business model which sucks a lot.

Could cut it off here and still have it be true.

The main reason why they’re doing it is just that there’s more to add. We’re already at modern MBTs, but we don’t even have an F-18 yet.

I mean that’s not an excuse to give them nothing.

If a top-top tier item isn’t available, give them stuff like their modern jet trainers, or missing Cold War jets(especially with early that was effectively skipped outside a handful of big names), or something from WW2 that isn’t exactly short of new things that could be added. At worst some C&P used by the could be added.

And bar naval right now(tho this may be applicable to them soon as well), if there is nothing “modern” able to be added right now, in Gaijin’s opinion, go older there isn’t a shortage of stuff, if anything it’s overflowing.

Not true, 2A7HU was added in June 2024, plus there were added multiple high tier MBT premium packs this year.

More obscure things like the VAK 191B would be absolutely amazing right about now.

Don’t get it

omg yes, the VTOL projects

I do hope more Heli for France, pretty lacking here too.

Without talking about the fact that ~1 year ago China got 2 French helicopter that France still don’t have.

Hmmm? What’s an LCA? Because I don’t think it’s this: Landing Craft Assault - Wikipedia
