Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

I’m wondering what Japan, France and China will be getting. Especially when it comes to their tank lineups.
Considering the fact that the chance of Japan getting their F-15 this update is very slim.

No heavier TES with 50cal for us

Yeah, they clipped the fins so it’d fit in the stores of the 22 I believe. I actually agree though that the 120A could have been added along side the ER since the ER is such a beast it would have been balanced. Everything I’ve read about the A and B, makes me feel like it’s not going to be as big of a game changer as everyone thinks. Even more so since it’s meta to slap the grass with your jet atm

I’m curious, why is the chance of Japan getting their F-15 this update slim?

I think not. If it hadn’t appeared this is a game and you get a substantial reward if you kill an enemy tank on AB. So, while most top mbt tanks are single shot, max 2 shots is good for the game. The fact that it has the best armor in reality makes it worthless, especially since artillery is being introduced and there are less kamikaze drones that can be launched from tanks. Simply put, I think there is only a small improvement in armor, or else there is a Russian bias situation. In reality, the Japanese Type 10 was shot in the face at close range and survived the shot, in the game you shoot it where you are not ashamed. Also, when your tank is in motion, it is sometimes as if it were made of paper. This is the role of the Tigris breakthrough tank in the game. (I think Maus and IS-4M when they were top tanks…)

Because i have noticed (with the F-16AJ par example) that when a new top-dog vehicle gets added, the first ones will go to America and Russia.

Maybe this update will be different, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Italy, Israel and China all got their F-16s the same time as the US

Everyone always seems to forget this…

The F-16A went to the US and Israel and the ADF went to the US, Italy and China kind of.

So I have good hope we will see an F-15 for the US, Israel and Japan. I guess hope dies last.

are under investigation

France might get the Mirage 4000.
I don’t know about ground, we might be forgotten this update.
Hopefully China gets a light tank like the ZBD08 or something similar. Otherwise a J-11 is likely.
Japan might not get anything except the F-15J.

Yep, I’m 100% ready for them to say “no changes are expected” and challenger OES is just TES but 50 cal

French mains will get the best plane in the game and still whine about being “forgotten.”

it used to be the standard that US and Russia were treated with, but i think because of the fact that these newer aircraft are just built different compared to older jets they introduced like the phantom II and mig-19. if we do get the f15 this update, then for sure the major operators would get them

my only thought about that is if germany (or other nations that didnt use the f-15 or su-27) would get equivalents, or have equipment that would at least stand a chance against those aircraft.

If it’s a ground update then yes, even if the 4000 is a top tier jet.
Unless you forgot Rank VIII is a thing now.

Lol it’s gonna be like every french plane: completly crippled at launch and slowly buffed/fixed over the course of a year or two, thanks to user made reports.

That would be horrid. Certainly a good way to kill off France as a player base.
Literally both of us saw what it would do.
