If Boxer is indeed the next vehicle (I think unlikely coz Vilkas), then i think it might be rarer concepts like the one with RCT40 turret (should go to UK actually) or Boxer with Cockerill 3105 or with Kongsberg RT60 (too similar to Vilkas) or Skyrangers… or even Tracked Boxer-RCT120 (but too concepty)
IMHO, I think it rather can be non-Boxer one like either KF-31 or KF-41 Lynx(s) or … Marder II IFV or … some Swiss vehicle.
My point being air in general has more room to expand so the return on investment is bigger there. People have their wallets ready for iconic aircraft we still have yet to see as opposed to some obscure, niche ground vehicle.
Of course they can still do a ground focused update, it’s up to Gaijin after all, but I just think it’s less likely.
Played it along with Birds of Prey and later Birds of Steel…
Then War Thunder came, hahah.
While War Thunder’s air succeeded the previous Gaijin games and Ground Forces replaced WoT from the equation, Naval still has a LONG way till it’s as balanced, reliable and fun as BS:P was.
But I still take WT Naval as the spiritual successor of BS:P.
Hell, we even have carrier mechanics already with scout planes! We just need to make them work in squadrons as in BS:P; you fly the leading plane and the rest follow and mimic you. There you go, Carrier implementation!
That would be a breath of fresh air, not gonna lie… but not until there are enough WW2 ships to decompress until the Jutland heroes no longer have to face any of these xD
Really only one thing: Gaijin hasn’t yet decided how they want to model radar/IR stealth.
That, and slowly progressing forward allows them to make more updates each year, which each give a spike of concurrent players and therefore in-game purchases.
There isn’t as much of a difference between MBTs of different technological stages as with fighters. If they kept adding MBTs that are only marginally better than their predecessors, people wouldn’t be as excited, and thus Gaijin wouldn’t make as much money.
I mean depending on which tree you look at progression wasn’t that fast. It was mainly for the minor nations and Russia.
The US was stuck with the '92 M1A2 for 3 years before going to the '99 SEPv1 and only going to '08 with the SEPv2 a year later when most other trees had either already made the jump to 2010+ MBTs long before or got theirs that update.
