But there is absolutely no basis for this. We have already made it clear that commonwealth vehicles wont come “at the expense of” or “rather than” domestic British vehicles. Both can co-exist in the tree at the same time.
This year alone, the majority has been domestic British:
Buccaneer S.2B
Wessex
Tornado F.3 Late
Sea Harrier FA.2
Tornado GR.4
vs
F-111C
MiG-21 Bison
Superhind
There is no reason or basis to believe British aircraft will ever stop coming to the British tree now or in the future.
Again, there is no “replacement” taking place over British vehicles. South African and Indian vehicles are supplementary, aiding line-ups, capability gaps or adding unique flavour otherwise not found in British vehicles, not “instead of”.
We always promised British light tanks would come, and come they have.
Yep, and in the blackhole that was 2023 when we got bugger all addiitons, it was a real shame they never added lower tier stuff that would have been fantastic to have. Like
BAE Hawk
Mosquito (light bomber)
Sea Vixen FAW1
etc. Too much has been passed over and what does get added, often takes a few years to be sorted .
I know its not just britain, and I advocate for other nations all the time. (the amount of people i see say stuff like “The Ariete needs no buffs, they have a Leopard 2A7” is just insane. But what we do get, is often an insult. Like the Challenger 2 overhaul dev blog that resulted in nerfs not buffs or the top tier ground decompress than made compression worse for Britain.
It just takes its toll. I’ve given up with GRB, its not fun. Naval is fine, but waiting for some decent additions not more Jutland spam and air… Old issues that have yet to be resolved and taking way too long to be fixed.
Tenatively, im still waiitng for both the Tornado F3 Late and Sea Harrier FA2 to be sorted and rendered playable before I invest any time into either. FA2 is only just getting its RWR fixed this coming update.
Buc S2B is nice, but its still a shame the Buc S2 still doesnt have the Blue Parrot radar
Tornado Gr4… We’ll have to see, a lot of missed potential with balancing decisions made for it.
Yep, that and the attrocious fire rate on the CR1 and CR2 that still hasnt been addressed. Its frustrating. Id like to grind out the DW and Stormer AD at some point, but I just cant be bothered. Tried doing some matches in the Challenger DS and after 3 games in a row vs 11.7s that I could barely pen. I gave up went back to playing Stellaris
I just dont want to have to research sub tree stuff if it isnt required, I would love to play the Fox and Scimitar but they were placed in the SA line for some reason, and my fear is now if we do get a tracked rapier it will be after the OSA meaning since it wasn’t foldered ill have to also research that
also I get the whole subs dont replace domestic options but i feel like we could have gotten things like the scimitar, fox and even AS90 a lot sooner if they didnt work on SA
Im persoanlly waiting for something like a Wildcat to be added. I guess we wont see the AH-64E in quite a few years as that will come with mmVs if/when we ever get those, but 20x Martlets would be fun to wield
Though, We need a gamemode where helis are fun without having to play tanks first
