I mean

What better place is there to copy from, if you want to create a fake leak list?

I don’t know about this instance, at the end of the video he shows the list, so I guess he must’ve sourced it from his Discord or something. Obviously fake, this one wasn’t even posted here yet.

Well if the JPN sub-tree at Christmas is to be believed, then at least for JPN this makes sense?

Yea adds the skink to the US but not the RAM II to Britain, plus the Turkish F-4 would be funny

Arguably no. A Thai subtree should consist of at least 8-10 planes. The leaked airframes does not help Japan much - that is CAS, from like 3.7 onwards, the alpha jet does offer some CAS capabilities, but not much else.

More in the way of replacing the R2Y2s finally and getting people to accept more non-JPN vehicles in the tree. The full air tree would be after the ground tree most likely.

Even though they may start at late WW2 or early cold war, we should expect the RTAF to introduce at least 6 to 8 airframes, at once. Griffon spitfire, Ki-84, F-84G, alpha jet, F-5E, F-16A MLU, and finally JAS39E - with additionally the RTN firefly at the bomber/attacker branch.

Isn’t Terminator a modern upgrade from 2020 with AIM-9X and stuff?

I won’t say fake but definitely halved reared.

Skink - Confirmed,
T77 MGMC - guess work from a confirmed US SPAA,
F-5E, 9K33’s, some of Thailand, Benelux Leopards are leaks.
Spyder and the F-4S are pure guesswork.

Forgotten RAM II for Britain and stuff from the 3rd CM.

Effort = 0.5/10

Well yeah adding vehicles from former leaks or datamines seems to be very popular with the creators of fake lists, for extra credibility of course. The list in of itself is fake, but as you said some of its contents were taken out of prior lists.

IMO this one is very unlikely… the T77 would probably occupy a very similar BR bracket as the Skink, meaning it’s addition would be redundant and not really serving the goal of filling the SPAA gap

Yea I think it would be the ball turreted SPAA sherman, think about it, it’s less work

This abomination?

Not sure about that. I don’t see it being a higher BR than the M42 Duster at 4.3, and the Skink will be at 5.0

Again, this is not the important gap. Something between 5.0 and 7.7 is more urgently needed

I’ll point out that they added the Bosvark and Skink back to back(and for most of the time they have been in game they have been the same BR).

So I wouldn’t put them passed it, as the already made a redundant addition before.

Hmmm, yeah that’s true but I hope Gaijin has learned from that

It wouldn’t be a good move especially when there’s so much attention on this specific issue

Edit: I think the Skink was added for it’s “star power” factor, and not to fill any gaps. Remember, this was a highly requested vehicle to the point of being a meme. “skinkposting” was a thing
