November updates are rather slim as well, they are meant to coincide with the anniversary, and gets more mechanic-based stuff into the game. Reference the Ice and Fire and Kings of Battle for example, they dont have a lot of new stuff, especially those who are played a lot in the current iteration of the game.
The two relevant machines from Kings of Battle now is probably the wide putin tank and F-111A, and then partially leopard bofors.

Don’t forget about my boy Type 81

I have literally no idea it was from KOB, thought it was from AS or smth

Kings of Battle added the Vickers Mk 11. UK’s first amphibious ground vehicle in the game.

It’s not as simple as saying that the fourth major update (October/November) is “always smaller” or “is mostly copy+paste” or “only adds one major/relevant vehicle”. Basically each one of those generalizations is inaccurate in at least one way.

“Always smaller” Not at all. As I mentioned previously, New Power was one of the largest updates to the game. Fire and Ice added more vehicles than many “larger” updates, though most were copy and paste.

“mostly copy paste” Again not always true. Kings of Battle and Fire and Ice had a lot of copy and paste additions but I don’t think you can really classify Ground Breaking or Shark Attack like that, and again, New Power is an exception here with multiple new vehicle classes.

“Only one major/relevant vehicle” It’s impossible to define what a “major” or “relevant” vehicle is. Obviously there are vehicles that people are looking forward to and get hyped up (right now, the F/A-18 and Eurofighter would be good examples), and there are vehicles that push the meta forward, but what vehicles will end up making a big impact on the game is unclear until the update comes out and we can see how they perform in-game. Even relatively unknown support vehicles can go a long way to improving struggling lineups.

the October/november update is often dedicated to minor additions, bug fixing and the introduction of new Mechanics

does that sound less “generalised” to you?

Yeah, it’s a better description than some of the claims I’ve seen made

well, those are empty words tho

their meaning is so vague that they could’ve just not been said and the discussion wouldn’t change at all

The snail probably ate the leaks

the leeker may be on holiday this season >_>

He just posted lol

Perhaps it would be better to reword like this.

If you play a minor nation, unless your nation is getting a Sub-tree. Dont expect to be getting much in this update

For example:

for Britain:

Kings of battle:

Air: Nothing
Ground: M109 C&P and Vickers Mk11
Naval: HMS Marlborough C&P as a premium

Fire and Ice:

Air: Nothing
Ground: Bosvark (note we got the Skink the month before and already had an SPAA at this BR)
Naval: HMS Glorious & HMS Diana

If we continuie this trend, Im expecting:

Nothing for air this update (which is my main gamemode)
Something somewhat boring for ground
Maybe something interesting for naval, but recent history when they’ve promised something “new for top tier” for britain, is that we have to wait about 6 months from when they said for the thing promised to appear. So im guessing new top tier BB Decemeber, but I might be surprised.
