I hope it’s either the leakers messing with us and this turns out to be one huge troll, or it’s actually under consideration and the leakers put this out as a way to make gaijin realize how absolutely munted and nonsensical this is by the absolute violent reaction against the idea

I was gunning for what I took to be the ROCAF branch of the aviation tree prior to this patch.
A Singaporean branch is basically gonna be a Black Pill ingredient to me.
This right here, I have all trees too, I went for China for their vehicles which are mostly unique to them, and the ROC branch already has enough material to give China until the F-16V, and it’s not like PRC is lacking any gen 5 options for Singapore to be considered, literally China has both the J-20 and the J-31/35 which are flying, the latter 2 are more real than the Su-75 currently is or ever will be, so not even the F-35 is a good reason since they’ll have domestic equivalents
Given that their credibility this past few updates has been quite accurate with over 90% accuracy, I am inclined to believe that they pushed out this info because they know how stupid it is.

Absolutely, I’m inclined to believe the latter scenario since it’s far more likely plus if the leakers decided to mess with us like this it’d probably damage their credibility going forward
Modern Chinese OSA be like

And either way, it is a win win situation for the leakers and us. If they get it right, their credibility stays strong, but if they got it wrong, we as the community “won” because either the idea was shot down or it never was going to happen in the first place. Gaijin loses at the end.

War Thunder is one of very few games out there where they must actively consider political and nationalistic sentiments. Everyone grows up thinking their nation’s vehicles are superior, for example. It is by no means an easy task.
That being said, why Gaijin has decided to shoot themselves in both feet and then kneecap themselves is quite confusing

Damn straight, although I expect gaijin to silently sweep this under the rug and pretend it wasn’t solid enough of a consideration and then say “leaks are leaks our real plans are X (if they change anyway)”, but honestly I think we know it’s nost likely true than not
China even gets an Abrams cause one of the Chinas ordered Abrams.

He’s terrible at dev streams too, lost count of how many times he went back to the stupid BMP-2M to parade some small change
I’m a big fan of wheeled vehicles (especially 6x6 and 8x8) and I love SPAA vehicles, so even though I do not play China, I definitely will if this vehicle comes lmao.
Many 8x8s nowadays look very generic (Patria cough), so I applaud Norinco for making one that looks so cool and unique

Leonardo and Rheinmetall signed a contract to create LRMV, Leonardo Rheinmetall Military Vehicles, a 50/50 joint project to both work on the IMBT (Italian main battle tank) and on the AICS (Armored infantry combat system). The IMBT is supposed to be based on the KF-51 and the AICS on the KF-41 platforms but, as it was the main reason why Italy didn’t go for the 2A8IT, these would instead be quite customized and different compared to the standard versions. These are also supposed to create a market in the future for other nations which is nice.
@MAUSWAFFE IDK if this could make you feel better or worse, but I think from the first beginning, it’s not the whole Southeast Asia to Japan, it’s also another kind of “mine, all mine”, it should be a limited addition of what really needed, like light vehicles or CAS planes. But if this L2A4 is real, maybe it will mean more “unnecessary addition” for Japan.
Gaijin’s didn’t state anything about it’s a sub, it’s just “singular addition”(this term is from Smin I think), so they can add things without restrict, similar things happening in Canada and Switzerland. Random “singular addition” from SE Asia to China and Japan could be what will happen in future. but which will go which, OR will there be more chaos like this time? IDK
