Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Do you guys reckon there is a chance ARMs are coming as well? If the ground assets are added of course

We all knew it was coming. We said when they only gave us the A whilst giving others C it was only to make us grind more. Would you like at that, it was just to make us grind more.

No, the only ground assests shown were short-range IRSAM and long-range radar. Nothing for long-range radar sams which would necessitate ARMs

Belgian NF 8 when France operated NF 11 (and 4,13 and 14)

Belgian Spit XIV when France operated…Spit XVI (well most Spits from Spit I to XVI)

Big gap filler right there

Yup, question is, are you gonna pony up the GE to spade out the aircraft??

Most likely the Harrier(s), but optimally they would all be 13.3+ anyways

You don’t have to pay to spade a vehicle

Most I’ll spend is on the ARHs, or just a nation I don’t get entirely shafted for playing and hoping they’ll deploy accurate models for.

The entire subtree is a blight. They’ll do what they did to Britain, add bullshit then pretend they filled gaps when the nation has plenty of native designs that would. Could have added it in its own tree, or Germany, but nope. We’re saddled with it and likely won’t see Jaguar until years down the line like Britain with the desert warrior.

That was a very underwhelming teaser compared to some, and it suffers the same thing that many have recently, that being that it tries to showcase everything instead of just focusing on what the update is centred on.

It doesn’t help that they feel the need to spotlight subtrees without unique vehicles

You don’t have to, but you’ll get your fox 3s slower while others only have to grind a module, and will sling them at you while you’re attempting to grind.

This is one of the better sub trees, however when the competition is Finland, it’s not difficult to not be the worst.

I am sure they could be a great subtree, but I would expect them to showcase and include some unique vehicles when adding a new subtree

Except Finland is useful at all BRs, even if it doesn’t bring much.

Whereas this will just limit their interest in adding native designs that would fill gaps a hell of a lot better.

BeNeLux if not intentionally held back, like Gaijin loves to do, would make a very interesting independent faction, especially on the ground and naval sides.

“Useful” and “interesting” are not the same thing.

“Better” does not mean by default interesting. Things can be interesting, and provide little use, thus not being better. Regardless, Finland did have plenty of neat options, but as always was neglected in favour of other things. It is always easier to add copy paste to a minor nation.

I wish they’d make it their own tech tree, kind of like Israel. Having a Leopard and a F16 under the french banner feels really odd to say the least… :/

After Yugoslavia, of course.
