Don’t get me wrong, the quantity isn’t what makes the ground vehicles depressing. It’s just that half of the ground vehicles are just boring and/or pretty much update filler.
There are some nice additions, don’t get me wrong, but none of the good additions, which are mostly the SPAA, have this wow factor. They are good additions, but not exciting/hype additions.
All the non-SPAA ground vehicles on the list just feel like boring fillers.
I mean Gaijin added the Skink and the Bosvark in back-to-back updates. And those two have had the same BR for most of the time they’ve been in the game.
I think the reason that the fake leak lists keep containing so many naval aircraft is because everybody can sense that Gaijin needs to do something about Naval lol
Idk, 44M Tas is pretty hype. A totally new WW2 heavy tank? For Italy? That’s a big change.
But for everything else, yeah, a lot of small changes on vehicles that are already in the game. Understandable for a smaller update, especially one that seems to be preceding big changes.
It seems like Ground players are really hungry for meta-altering top-tier vehicles but I think Gaijin is kind of in a bind on what to do about that. They don’t seem like they’re quite ready to add the latest tech demonstrators into the game, and most modern vehicles currently in service would be side-grades to what’s already in the game. And as we’ve learned from the last few updates that did expand the top-tier ground meta with new MBTs, Gaijin wants to add vehicles to a few nations at once. Coming up with that list of vehicles can’t be easy.
For right now, I’m ok with the MBT meta staying pretty stable where it’s at, maybe with one or two steps of BR decompression or so, and Gaijin focusing on high/top-tier support vehicles (IFVs, TDs, SPAA).
I’m not saying too big as in too many vehicles. I’m saying it’s too big for what we have had in the past October updates. I can’t see any F/A-18’s or the Su-33 coming in an update which in the past has been much a filler update.
We don’t need meta altering MBTs, we just need more 2A7/Strv 122 counterparts. At the moment top tier ground is just a stompfest for these tanks.
Support vehicles will only get you so far, as by adding them in the current top tier enviroment you are just adding more meat for the grinder. Nothing will change.
we need more south african stuff added to the UK tbh they still have legit tons left to add in the form of IFVs and SPAA along with some unique t72 mods
