Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

[Columbia6448]

Yeah actually made my account right before the Royal armour update got to see a lot of cool stuff

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Oh man, April First actually is coming up soon.
I’m very excited to see what they come up with this time. Was really loving the Mad Thunder event.
The Dune one was fun too, but the Atomic Heart and Mobile Infantry ones were pretty meh.
Also remember playing the Tailspin one, don’t remember liking it tho lol

[WereCat888]

Yeah, now that i remember i think i just liked brutalizing infantry in the bmp3, which btw when is gaijin gonna add meat bags to pulverize?

Also i think that’s where they tested FnF before adding it.

[Columbia6448]

I remember when leopard two a five versus t90 was an event with the helicopters

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Wild to think that they called it “Rank IX”. They almost had it right lol

Also, didn’t they give the vehicles BRs of like 15.0? Yet here we are at 12.0 as the highest tank BR and planes getting squished down to 12.7 to fit in lmao

Differentiating “Paper”/Fictional Vehicles from (unfinished) Prototypes

Sometimes it’s easy to mistake an unfinished vehicle for a paper one, while at other times making that distinction becomes difficult due to personal interpretations. As these cases often result in a vehicle’s classification being subject to discussion, we’ve come up with a few simple suggestion specific guidelines to help users make this distinction easier and faster. Please refer to these guidelines when considering making a suggestion on a more obscure vehicle.

Reminder: Paper/Fictional vehicles will NOT be accepted as valid suggestions.

What constitutes a paper/fictional vehicle:

• Vehicle only existed in blueprint/sketch drawing form
• No major individual, vehicle-specific parts (i.e. guns, powerplants, etc.) of the vehicle were built
• No parts unique to the vehicle were built
• Vehicle is a completely made up, unofficial design created by an individual

If the vehicle you planned on suggesting meets the criteria above? In that case, it’s unfortunately a paper/fictional vehicle and as such won’t be accepted as a valid suggestion.

What constitutes an (unfinished) prototype can be either:

• Vehicle was (partially) constructed
• Vehicle-specific parts (i.e. guns, powerplants, etc.) were built
• A hull was laid down

Does the vehicle you want to suggest meet the criteria above? In that case, you have a more obscure vehicle which at least in some capacity existed in the real world and is therefore a valid vehicle to be suggested.

Additional Notes

1) The main distinguishing feature between paper and non-paper vehicles is whether the vehicle in question itself or specific parts of it were already constructed at one point. For example, the hull of the E-100 was partially constructed and would thus be a valid suggestion, whereas the Ta 183 only existed as a wind tunnel scale model, thus not being a valid suggestion.

2) Do note that the Suggestion guidelines may differ from the vehicles that end up being implemented by the developers. When it comes to suggestions these guidelines will be used to enforce the rules.

Sorting of vehicle related suggestions

Vehicles
Vehicles are primarily sorted by the nations that operated them, not by the Tech tree where the OP would like to see them implemented. This is done to both give credit to the nation that actually used the vehicle as well as centralize discussion about the vehicle in question. Of course there are always vehicles that were never operated by anyone, suggestions for these vehicles are just sorted by the nation that actually tested them. Following that, there are vehicles that were made for a nation but just before being delivered some type of intervention happened that caused them to not be delivered (E.G. the Israeli CL-13 or the Iranian Shir 2), these are just sorted by the nation that ordered them. Last but not least there are the vehicles that were made by a company and garnered so little international interest that nobody even tested them, these are just sorted by the nation that houses the company that made them.

As was mentioned at the beginning of this section, nations like Finland, South-Africa, Canada, etc. still fall under Other Nations, even with their implementation under in-game trees. At the same time we would also like to once more remind people that just because a nation operated alongside another nation or even under the other nation it’s command structure (E.G. 1st Canadian Army operating under the UK led 21st army group or the UK 1st Armoured Division under the US VII Corps.) These nations are still their own nation and as such are sorted by those nations. You are always allowed to add a poll question as to what in-game tree you would like a vehicle to be implemented though, this is purely up to the OP.

Weapons
Weapons are sorted purely by the nation that built them (E.G. Aim-9J would go to the USA), if after being implemented the weapon is missing from vehicles that used it in regular service, this is a matter for the Bug Report section. However, If a vehicle used something on an experimental basis this obviously can be suggested!

Family or bundle
When submitting a vehicle suggestion like any any other type of suggestion refrain from proposing multiple different ideas at the same time. However, you can list multiple different variants of the vehicle if what you are suggesting a certain family of vehicles. While this can be rather complicated, we will provide a short example of what can be suggested and what is considered a bundle that won’t be accepted.

Allowed (Examples)		Not Allowed (Examples)
A6M (General)		A6M (General, If A6M5 Model 52 is already implemented)
A6M2 (General)		A6M2 (General, If A6M2 Model 11 is already implemented)
A6M2 Model 11		A6M2 Model 11 & A6M3 Model 22
A6M3 (General)		A6M3 Model 22 & A6M3 Model 32
A6M2 Model 11 (U.S.A.)		A6M2 Model 11 (U.S.A.) & A6M2 Model 11 (China)
A6M5 Model 52 Otsu (721st Sentai)		A6M5 Model 52 Otsu (721st Sentai) & A6M5 Model 52 Otsu (11th Sentai)
A6M5 Model 52 Otsu		A6M5 Model 52 Otsu & A6M5 Model 52 Hei
A6M5 Model 52		A6M (General) & A6M6 Model 53 Hei
A6M3 (30mm)		A6M3 (30mm) & A6M2 (Sen Baku)

[KhorneFlakez1337]

What changed? Did anything change or did they just add stuff?

[WreckingAres283]

We’ve only changed the Wording. No new Rules.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Ah, thanks for the clarification

[Mitchverr]

@Apollo_1641

Gnatposting

Yes, this now needs to become a theme for the Brits!

[Charge_Bison]

Nope.

[Drag0oon]

Yea, they totally need the EF and more leopard to buff the really bad rafale and leclercs!

[AblativeKitten]

Gnat & 76mm hesh posting

[Caernarvon02]

@AblativeKitten

76mm hesh

Im ready to ensure that it doesn’t suck

[StormRyder13]

Need it in a Battle of Britain camo before I agree or not.

Else it’ll never beat the Hurricane Mk 188, as an potential addition.

Hurricane Mk 188

Spitfire might work better for this joke, but I like Hurricanes more(but that’s likely to do with the nations history with the plane)

Ment to send that forever ago but only just get back to Wi-Fi.

[MatrixRupture]

I want a fixed HESH

[Caernarvon02]

i tried but “info requested” was slapped on my report and then it was locked so I couldn’t give the info requested. Its very annoying that this isn’t a more common response

[AblativeKitten]

Got any pen figures? Current manufacture states about 80mm. So I’ll take any more we can get lmao.

[BACKRAGE44428]

should be added as skin for regular hornet in american tree like the austrilian 1A5 tempest skin in germany

[MatrixRupture]

Did you include what I gathered as well?
