My guess is that infantry was added as an excuse for things like UGVs and MRAPS so there would be a bit more to add in modern ground.
No clue what they can do for unique modern jet types barring Tejas, trainers and Bombers (very unlikely) until either Dual Korea or 5th gens
I’d like to hear how koreas would help top tier
Adding infantry to the game is clearly Gajin’s way to make even more money. Premium infantry units (e.g., the VDV or Marines) will be added. For the past three damn years (that’s how long I’ve been playing War Thunder), it’s been clear that Gajin is only interested in the highest tier. When Indonesia and Malaysia were announced, it was clear Gajin was adding them to cover up the fact that no new Japanese vehicles were being added. We probably won’t see any more Japanese-made tanks or aircraft by the end of the year.
KF-21. Seeing as we already have most modern jet “families”, the KF-21 is one of the few remaining. Gajin most likely won’t use another F-15/F-18/Typhoon/Rafael/J-10/Su-27/Su-30 as “the main vehicle” so , Tejas and KF-21 seem the most likely as they are recognisable, lack any of their “family” in game unlike the previous list and won’t require as much balancing attention as 5th gens or bombers
Yk superhornet is already in the game right?
Also I’m not convinced adding an entire nation for a single jet is a great idea, I’d rather see the KF-21 added through another tree. I’d say Korea would be a decent sub for, idk, usa? I really don’t know where it’d go
Think I got it mixed up with something else, my bad
I’m going off gajin’s statement where they mentioned a Korean tree plan. I’m personally fine with it as it also brings quite a few interesting ground vehicles, decent coastal roster and the Noth Korean hybrid props.
Regardless, there’s not a lot stand out aircraft types for gajin to make as the poster plan of the update as I seriously doubt they’d use another typhoon or flanker as the main draw for air.
-1 for me
India has potential I’d say
I’ve said i before t and I’ll say it again, literally every subtree barring Thailand and Finland (maybe Norway as well) was placed and done poorly (Romania was actually good in Italy until it was solely used for copy paste sams and the umpteenth event/premium). Even then there’s still plenty of unique Thai and Finnish vehicles missing.
The first subtree ever south africa was actually a good addition with unique vehickes.
Still waiting for the Mirages to fill the holes
In terms of unique vehicles, it’s easily the best one (iirc even it’s gripen C has a different armament load out than the other ones)
Issue is that most of the vehicles added were lights which the UK could fill (Scorpion, Simba, Saladin, R02003,Coventry armoured cars etc). Until there’s some rework to provide more tree space, it’s going to be difficult to see more domestic UK light vehicles and South African vehicles that aren’t lights.
The suggestion below shows that with Jordan, South Africa could have a good ground tree (although admittedly air is an issue).
So basically what you meant is that the finnish tree was inplemented well and was needed whereas the south african one was implemented well but not needed?
Finland was okay, sure the gaps were filled but there was like what 6 unique vehicles added across air and ground when there way more to offer.
Different between the 2 is Sweden at the time was tiny iirc meanwhile the UK was the one of, if not the largest minor tree.
Then again South Africa was done leagues better than Benelux and Hungarian ground (most likely Swiss as well whenever that’s added)
Oh yeah definitely benelux is horrible. I purposefully left the whole subtree untouched even though I have almost the entire fremch tree spaded.
Why?
Its copy paste, with hardly any difference, why should it be added
If it’s foldered, I don’t see a problem with adding this plane.
Legitimately it’s just the case of “Would you rather have £1 or £2?”
Also, there is nothing wrong with having more Raidens in the same lineup, so it has a use in air arcade battles, at least.
