Theyre making sure to butter up the US players in order to get sales rolling on that shiny new hornet D
They should’ve referenced the best trailer of all time and done an apex predators F-16 unveiling for the EX
hopefuly gaijin holds into the brakes and lets the Germans enjoy the 2A8 for at least some months before pasting it into whoever other nation, and hopefuly we get more IFVs or Lighter vehicles as well.
it would be cool if they gave Germany a 2A7A1 and a 2A8 similar to what they did for the US tree, however from what I’ve seen its just a 2A8
best reveal ever, loved the fact they re-did it with the typhoon
Maybe theyre saving it for the raptor
they got pretty close with the flashing lights on the f15 but they really didnt need the big EX sign
They could have done a lot of ways to make the reveal more serious and less like a phoney press reveal lmao
that’s what i was thinking, considering there’s some difference between the A7A1 and the A8, but i think the differences dont really warrant 2 new tanks? i mean it in respect to what goes into the game and what doesnt, otherwise Germany would’ve had way more Leos at top tier… idk
2a7a1 was the prototype 2a8, just a 2a7 with an aps strapped on it and called it the tech demo
Had to show that sign in case the viewer doesn’t recognize the F-15EX
Could have been the F-15E1 after all
hopefully it gets better therms than gen2
either SM or AMRAAM ER as the testing for them look extremely similar

It doesn’t help that the line ups get pretty lackluster in general after about 10.0 (10.3 now?)
Germany has over a dozen Leopard 2 armor packages and test beds, and another dozen leopard 2 prototypes that could be added to give some meat the the top portion of the tree
what really needs work is 11.0-12.3 considering that apart from the flarakrad and leopard 2a4ms theres nothing else from 11.3 to 12.3 and only two vehicles at 11.0 itself

shame the EX wont have any MAW
I think those two are a bit too thin to be them tbh
The new mechanics about backup ammo I guess would benefact the T-90M most, since other Russian tanks stored the ammo anywhere and all of them are hazards
Western designs I suppose the type 10s

hope we get the AMBER racks on the EX
You wont burn through all of them before another amraam comes tho
