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

I’m not too concerned about Japan, as they’re gonna get Thailand. What I am concerned about is the complete lack of effort being put into the addition of new content. Really? A copy-paste Leo 2 for CHINA??? They have SO much original content! If C&P is a must, add the M1A2T for Taiwan. If a sub-tree is a must, add Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, or any other country that ACTUALLY USES CHINESE TECH. I’m just incredibly frustrated at the lack of effort. And by the way, where are the BeNeLux tanks??

BS when and prove it they have HAD FLIPPING YEARS TO DO THAT

As I said, if true I have responses prepped.
Japan needs a tech tree, not wants like China, needs, necessity.
South Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore are the primary options.
Indonesia is the only guaranteed addition with backlash if they dare try to add that one to China’s tech tree.

I have articulate responses without vulgarity at the ready and I pray I do not need to post them.

South korea and japan have an alliance with america so giving japan south korean or even american stuff makes as much sense as giving china a russian spaa doesnt it

I’m basing it on the Thai jet that was added and those in the leaks, so I’ll grant you, it is pure conjecture at this point.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with ASEN joining China, on the contrary, it’s a good opportunity to add to the queue L2SG is a great choice as a vehicle for the VIII squadron, just like L2PL

Agree, seems gaijin is going to send leo 2 to every nation Tech tree. Ridiculous.

Very much agreed JAPAN NEEDS ANOTHER TECH LINE in its tree. Its is beyond bare bones and lacking anything beyond the tkx and type 10 as true top tiers

Still italy got a sub tree before japan which has been in ruins for years at top tier

How many true top tier tanks does japan have in game

Japan really does need attention. It is quite sad how forgotten and weak it is. Thailand would be great, as well as Southeast Asia. We can only pray that Thailand goes there now that SEA is taken…

Oh are you guys talking about tech trees again?

I am still, and will be, of the opinion that North Korea and South Korea should be split between China and independent/ASEAN/Japan.
Yeah I know “but east and west germany are together and so are china and taiwan” yes but I personally think that those two are things that should not have happened, or if they did, should be at least accounted for in some way. The game is losing its asymmetry which makes it so appealing because it is extremely boring to fight the tank you’re in with the same one. Or the exact same plane. Just because they can add stuff together doesn’t necessarily mean they should, at least not with the way current matchmaking works. If they change matchmaking to make it vehicle based instead of nation based then yeah I’m fine with adding them together. But as is, I think it’s a bad idea that will just lead to another China-y tree where its loads of stuff that’s just imported but slightly changed until the very end where unique-ish things actually appear.

Also what’s up with “SEA being taken?” haven’t been following the… news?

Thailand and Indonesia are the primary necessities I see.
Leopard 2SG for the top end, and a whole host of aviation to dig into for filling the ranks of 6 through 8.

To be fair Ariete and Otomatic is not a great choice until the L2A7HU. Before that patch the only ground vehicle that is competitive for Italy is Centauro

I am, admittedly OOTL. Has that been de-confirmed?
