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

I cant find anywhere if they actually fielded it but they had a contract for maws Sensors from Cassidian protect Norwegian F-16s - F-16.net

Best thing would be to combine Danish and Norwegian F16s together imo, or add a Danish F16 for air and Norwegian for ground imo

One of which is an EIGHTY (80)(!!!) dollar premium that Gaijin refuses to model the armor on correctly.

As if charging 80$ for rank 6 naval top tier just by the excuse of “But other top tiers cost that much too!!”, while at the same time justifying those others with “But 10$ per rank is fair!!” wasn’t already enough of a scam…

Naval has less vehicles per rank, and less ranks total, how did they get away with those prices? They’re literally overpriced compared to Gaijins own price system!

Specifically Singaporean Leopards? Or any Leopards?

But any ways … historically China had a Leopard 2-ish :

Why would they even need a Leopard 2 from another nation, when they themselves attempted at creating one, complete with 120mm smoothbore.

Honestly I do really like finally getting heli additions now (Mi-35P and now this are the first heli additions since the heli tree was added) and Kari looks like a really fun addition to 3.0 coastal.

The only real complaint from me this update is that Nagato is premium, they should’ve just chosen another ship like Atago/Takao (laid down but not finished Amagi class, functionally Amagi premium) instead of the only 8.3 candidate of the entire techtree and probably the best Japanese battleship for WT stype engagements (assuming they fix her armor layout).

I almost… nearly forgive the cost of top tier BBs (still too high, but at least it is actually top tier)

Its coastal that makes me rather mad

Fingers crossed for a Hawk 209

plz plz plz plz plz plz plz gaijin plzzzzzz

the dutch over here with zero f-16s or aircraft above 10.7 for that matter, even though we had a bigger f16 fleet than belgium that currently has 3 ingame. i really hope at some point gaijin adds a way to choose which operator nation you want when multiple countries share the same aircraft in the tree like how belgium and the netherlands share the f-16, or norway and denmark.

but i still hope gaijin adds some nice liveries for the norwegian f-16, since, like almost all european f-16 users, they have some really great schemes.

here are also a few dutch liveries that i hope will make their way into the game at some point.

Ive seen some of the Dutch camos they are very nice, i just wish gaijin would add subnation camos to vehicles if they share a vehicle so that both can be represented in the TT, the flag changes are nice but its still a long way from properly showing off subs imo.

coastal shouldnt be treated as anything other than a funny sidegrind or a means to cheese events
most of the vehicles barely qualify as filler and some trees dont even have anything resembling a reward for plowing through the drivel

but if i might offer some unsolicited advice, you can get the research bonus pretty easily by turbogrinding the very short (and not entirely awful) French tree
you probably got the free Amiens (if not, its currently less than a pint on the marketplace) that’ll help you get through the lower tiers, bit of a slog after that but nowhere near as bad as the other trees

fun little tidbit about that camo, it apparently still exists! at some point, the tail with the artwork was removed, and it’s now stored in the Nationaal Militair Museum.

The tail

(picture is from this month)

Im currently picking my way down the British Coastal tree. Currently rank 4.

But id not be opposed to getting LE Orla or HMS Whitby to speed the grind along except for the fact top tier coastal has just an insane compression and the cost of a top tier coastal being nearly 12x that of a bottom tier destroyer whilst oftne also being weaker. And they can face each other in the same match

Reminds me of how F-105s in vietnam had some rather interesting artwork.

id forgo the premiums, embrace the suck, and beeline the Terra Nova
full uptiers at 4.0 are kinda rare, even during events and you can just hold down LMB and watch the damage go up and up and up
even most destroyers you encounter can be worn down in no time at all

as for the rest
Borderer is just another speedboat, honestly not all that much better than the Agressor a full BR below it
Blackpool (and Whitby) are kinda awkward with that one very fragile gun and its annoying firing angles
never was a fan of the Peacock and now its 4.3, which doesnt help
Leopard is alright, 4.5" HEVT being tier IV is pretty annoying but genuinely worth getting

American C&P comes under Belgian label, European one comes under Dutch label.

It is a Gaijin matter.

shhh don’t make them move it to 4.3 as Peacock

You should buy the coastal spawn ships that have better damage models for grind. M802 or alike corvettes. Two exemptions are the USS Douglas and the MPK.1414144141 thing

My suggestions:

Douglas
M802
MPK boat
Peacock
PG-02 (Mid)
Folaga
Amiens (coupon)

Otherwise yes the gamemode doesn’t offer more than some cool Russian boats and a few mid frigates

So was the dev updated today if so what changed?
