Noticeably lacking a rank 8 premium last patch.
2 more patches this year. Including the December one which to my best guess is a money maker for them with all that Christmas spending floating around.
With potentially F/A-18’s and/or EFT’s alongside some Su-30’s for many nations getting passed around we might see another one of those “6 premium packs in one patch” sorta thing.
Gotta say though, kinda expected China to already have one. Two J-11’s and a J-10 to grind out? Same for Russia. China TT is even heavier at the top now than Russia, which is also overdue for a rank 8 imo. They might drop them all at once as a marketing Strat. If they really wanted to sell packs when they became needed they could’ve just copy pasted but it almost seems like they are waiting for something.
Yea though maybe they are rethinking it, I mean The US got the F-20 and event F-14, Britain got the most advanced mig-21.
And what does china get a little attacker, which would rattle a few Chinese players abit.
Imho the JF-17 should’ve been premium but yea wouldn’t surprise me if we see a J-11 premium.
A terrible attacker as well…
Cant kill a single base with 1 full bombload, just 16 flares, terrible unguided rockets.
The only thing nice about it; are the magics, if they hit and not get flare hungry (which they really, really are).
And the bombs are so bad, you have to get a direct hit on a tank. Since they are 250lbs.
So yea like I’ve said most chinese would view this as an insult compared to what other nations got.
With the new J-10 being at 13.7 and no doubt moved to 14.3 at some point it would make sense for an early F-16 or something
Like I said, they aren’t in the last patch.
Also, if the leak is accurate in terms of aircraft type then it’s the earlier version that would not be rank 8.
China, USSR, and other nations, deserve a proper rank 8 premium. Something good in air to air combat with some multirole potential.
The worst part is. Is that all these beautiful unique vehicles will be battlepass, event, premiums or anniversary reward vehicles.
Look at the G.1a, its currently the only unique Benelux airframe. The gladiator still doesnt have its gun fixed either.
Edit:
They should do a Israël with Benelux.
Starting in France and then expanding to a standalone TT.
Since Benelux is the only future proof standalone concept.
E.g. stealth fighters, submarines, aircraft carriers, drone warfare, unmanned vehicle warfare and long distance warfare (e.g. FOBS).
Dont get me wrong, Yugo and Poland are also nice to have.
But BeNeLux has way more options.
A full submarine navy, hundreds of naval vessels, drones etc…
Yugo and Poland might have a little more planes and tanks, but not when looking at the total picture.
Yugoslavia has quite a bit more than BeNeLux when counting everything, actually. Even with the Dutch navy, Yugoslavia has enough for a fully fleshed out coastal tree and a decent bluewater one.
