Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

a “warsaw pact” tree I do see being quite likely as the next main nation added.

They could do with another “Redfor” nation, especially as Germany is going to be getting modern NATO jets like the Typhoon and in Sim at least. I really would like it if every match wasnt just Typhoon vs Typhoon with the occasional Rafale on one of the teams.

The Rail van’s on Ash River looks nothing like Irish vans they just use standard boxcars from Russian assest.

Well yeah.
It’s former USSR, so ofcourse we get it as a standalone TT. Just like all our sub-TT’s are USSR instead of indiginous vehicles from the country implemented as Sub-TT.

Right now really isn’t the time to add a new nation, but yeah, something like a Warsaw Pact tree with Czechoslovakia as the head would be very possible

Already in Russia with multiple vehicles.

Still not classed as a sub

Israel and Sweden also existed in other trees before they got added as seperate nations, you know

Plus, it wouldn’t really be a Warsaw Pact tree without Czechoslovakia, now would it?

Just like Italy.

Well you say that Italy came before German lmao

Just because “UKR” was added to the leak’s name because of the vehicle’s country of origin, it doesn’t mean they are coming FOR Ukraine ingame; they could very well come for other nations that fielded them, such as Thailand, for Japan.

It wouldn’t be the first time the nation label of a vehicle is wrong on these.

Besides, plans may have changed since 2021 (date of the leak): maybe Gaijin planned an Ukrainian tree/subtree but decided to implement their vehicles through Thailand after the real life events (2022), in order not to cancel their plan while also not moving into controversial grounds.

sure hope so.

The Yatagan wasn’t operated by any nation that could be a Japanese subtree tho

And Thailand operates Oplot-Ts, not Ms

and time for G’99 to hit a few people lol

Obviously not, it’s still September after all.

What do you mean by this?

It’s a shame how the non-exported ones won’t be seen in-game anytime soon.

On this note, I think I’ll separate the “model leaks” and “list leaks” on the site.

I thought there was a 10 day gap between the list and and the first devblog

Again, that leak is from 2021.

It’s been 3 years, and 2 years since the the real life event that may have changed the plans.

Before 2022, adding Ukraine was sensible; ever since 2022, it’s a… sensitive topic.

Changing the model from M to T to still be able to add it to the game without controversy is not a hard thing to do in 3 years.

That’s why we havent seen any WWII TT plane except the A6M5 HEI in more then 5 years.
