Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

i asked smin before the devlog why it was added. he said “to fill the need for light tanks to israel in that br”
he said it wasnt 11.3, so there is a legitimacy for it to be added.
it is 10.7. there is not a single 10.7/10.3 israeli vehicle. your only option is to uptier it, to…
11.3.
and when i confronted him about it,
he refused to answer.

sums up gaijin pretty well

Do updates ever drop on a random Monday?

Or is it just better to wait for tuesday?

Mondays it happened maybe like once or twice as far as I can remember. Tuesday-Thursday is the usual window. Never a Friday (except that one time…)

Wait for Tuesday

but be aware it might the Tuesday after.

We’ll know its soon when the dev gets updated with the new aircraft skins, and for sure when the update notice drops the evening/~12 hours before

Yet.

If Gaijin were to go with your logic there would never be a Israeli ground vehicle between 10.0 and 11.3.

Oh, do not misunderstand me, I am FAR crom a completionist too!

I exclusively grind the vehicles that interest me, indeed.

Thing is, the current system prevents me from getting all those I am interested in, which as of now are;

-MiG-29M
-JAS-39D
-Oplot-M
-Upcoming M1A1 AIM
-Bhisma TWMP
-T-80UK

To get evenJUST those, it would take me over 22 months of full-efficiency grind… pretty much TWO entire years!

And every time Gaijin adds more Squadron vehicles I am interested in, the timer only further goes further and further…

I agree! I am not a completionist and I do not intend to acquire ALL Squadron vehicles, even less so quickly… but I would hope and expect to be able to get a few of them without two entire years having to pass.

It’s just a considerably worse Gripen C at the same BR. I can’t really talk since I’m massively selfdestructive, but even I’m not that selfdestructive.

You have top tier Japan right? the same tank is right there? It’s also the weakest top tier tank for China.

So, Gaijin shouldn’t add 10.7 vehicles because there is no proper 10.7 lineup? That doesn’t make any sense.

I mean, I have Sweden stuck at Rank II and with no plans to grind it (even less so with the only current Premium option), so I may as well get Gripen D to have some taste of Gripen, hahah.

But lineups!

Oplot-M would be a nice replacement for ZTZ-99-III on my lineups; not only when playing 12.7, but also 12.3 too (right now 12.3 is pointless, but if there’s ever some more decompression, it could be nice).

Also just to add. I do agree something should change since I’m also hopelessly behind when it comes to squadron vehicle research, especially now that I’m in a smaller squadron again.

this is pretty much 1 for 1 how the conversation on why the Tornado GR1 couldn’t receive ALARMs went

still, doesnt make it a legitimate reason to add. we have the eitan / namer tsrk / namer 30, which are almost the exact same. shity bushmaster and shity spikes.

there were 0 reasons to add the hunter afv.
least they can do is folder the namers (funny, because the namer tsrk, which comes after the namer 30, is pretty much worse)

I researched the Leo 2PL back when squadron vehicles were first added, then I did the thing where I fully transitioned my account over to PC from xbox which made me leave my squadron, haven’t been able to find a squadron to join since that was like 3 years ago

This!

I’d quite like to grab a bunch, but stuff like the VT-5 being 540k (or about 2 months if my sqn is at peak output, which it typically isn’t) ends up with me grabbing cheaper stuff first (like the M901 etc).

2 months and 18 days, to be exact, at ABSOLUTE and MAXIMUM efficiency across ALL 78 days.

Absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd, absurd.

It’s like a Booker at 11.7 and without gun depression
