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

Yeah, I reckon they should give it the Yak-141 treatment.
France, even more so than Russia, needs it as a stop gap between the M2k abd Rafale.

3 years ago is more than enough time for plans to change…
Gaijin has denied things in the past only to add said denied thing a few patches later

That was three years ago.

doesnt change the fact the DA2 would be far more balanced, and when I said worst i meant in the fact that it was a tech demonstrator everything else we could get at least mounted weapons

Man there should be a website archive that has all of gaijin and staff statements

The previous message is a couple months old…

He didn’t specify that all would be added to Italy, and Yugoslavia isn’t in the game (hopefully yet), so there’s no reason to say they would come to a nation other than Italy for the moment.

The DA.2 would have ASRAAM or AIM-9, no gun, no radar, no nothing. EAP could mount RWR, Radar, and was planned to mount weapons. DA.2 would also fly worse and be worse than any other DA. airframe.

I have literally proved that they can just Yak-141 it which gives us a mach.2 dogfighter, with a good radar, decent armament and good flight performance.

Oh wow that what I had in mind kik

idk why you are so desperate to have a romania sub tree of a nation that doesn’t even exist in game, the romanina planes should stay in the italian tree

Yes, it 's showing the link between the statement in the IAR 's devblog and my own comment abt how it ties into the introduction of the Hungary subbranch.

We don’t have that much of a gap before rafales, we still can receive more advance Mirage 2000s variants, for example:

2000D R2 and 2000D RMW on the strike line
2000-5F MkII and 2000-9 on the fighter line

But yeah only the M4K would bring something really “new” before Rafales, so i really hope to see it coming soon in the TT.

IMO the Scots are the least problematic something like Titus and Patriot are mumch much worse.

In case of the BMPs, yes they are unique mods and the scout variants radars/thermals are interesting but what gameplay different will the armors have when the difference between them is basically what kind of machine guns can go through and everything bigger simply won’t care. I am aware about the turret swaps but that is basically it, Russia also has gazillion of different BMP variants and prototypes, there is ton of different WW2 plane mods still waiting but guess what Gaijin isn’t adding them in numbers that is because most of the casual community doesn’t care about these copies.


@Mahiwew @Deathmisser
As said before I am not disputing that unique vehicles exist just that 3 independent TT aren’t needed. Look at the comments anywhere else then forum and even here are people which will say more TT aren’t needed, that Italy, France and Japan were forgotten and that there are too big holes and Israel/China has too much copy paste.

This thread isn’t representable sample of whole WT community.

I would also want point out that community suggested TT of Italy and France or China were much much more extensive and yet we don’t see that in game. And there is no way same doesn’t happen to Yugoslavia or Poland or Czechoslovakia if they are added.

Also I would like to say that Israel and especially China are in entirely different situation compared to Yugoslavia or Poland or Czechoslovakia. Both of these nations have plenty of unique, domestic and top tier vehicles in GF and in case of China same applies to AF. That is great opportunity for Gaijin to generate profit this simply inst the case for Yugoslavia (no top tier MBTs - the M84AS2 won’t cut it just very good IFVs, AF has just copy paste), Czechoslovakia is even worse (Currently only T-72M4CZ which simply isn’t anywhere near T-80BVM and now we are getting new rank, the eventual Leo 2A8 isn’t anywhere near) only the Poland can field meaningful top tier MBT but only the K2 is potentially unique.

Yes IFVs exist but can’t fully replace MBT

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Since we found it 's gunpod in the files, and after the MICA IR model leak last year, it 's my supposition that this might be the first( or one of the first ) aircraft in WT to be armed w/ imaging-IR missiles. Easier to imagine it doing that than some of the other aircraft which can be so-armed …

yes this exactly this, just because we could see these nations doesn’t mean we should

It can take up to 6 months to model and add a vehicle to the game, so unless you made that topic 6 months ago I doubt the EAP is on the table for this update.

Probably not, but i’ll take it in 6 months given Typhoon is ‘Nowhere near’ according to Smin.
