Me too because if it’s TT then it will be out of reach for me.

And? Does that undo the massive modern era focus of the last 10 updates?

The absolute majority of the game is WW2 content already, which is only natural since it’s been ingame since 2013 while modern era vehicles are a relatively recent addition that still require polishment on the other hand.

In Top Tier, some nations are too strong, while others are not strong enough to keep up with these. This creates a broken and unbalanced state on a very significant BR range where some nations are beneath the rest, and others are above all others.

I believe properly balancing said situation in Top Tier by adding adecuate counterparts for everyone and fixing currently broken and mismodelled vehicles is a more pressing matter than adding some slightly different Rank I SdKfz with short 75mm gun or yet another Spitfire with different radiators 100 people will play before forgetting about, to be honest.

Agreed, there is so much missing for WW2 that we could fill 10+ updates. and all the funky easily cold war jets.

Still my main interest for WT lies here. AIM-4’s when, Gaijin pls. The stuff no one covers is the main selling point of WT over DCS imo

I wanna ripple fire shit missiles and not hit for the love of history.

(Jk, AIM-4’s have a worse rep than they actually should have)

@Smin1080p_WT Helicopters that have yet to receive detailed interiors lose all weapon/FCS functionality with even the slightest fuselage damage.

Can you confirm if this a bug or working as intended?

I wouldn’t.

Where US firefly

Where Sherman Tulp

I’d rather have 20 more Sherman than things in a BR I don’t care about. This is the first update all year I care about and its abnormally high WW2 things compared to the other updates of the year helped that.

…and I’d rather have 20 more Abrams than things in a BR I don’t care about, xD.

See, it’s a personal preference thing. Nothing wrong with that.

But we can’t deny that Top Tier is one of the most unbalanced BR ranges that needs the most attention at the moment to address and correct said issue.

lol for me Idc really what they say since I have the right to ask even from our subs.
If they want to go round saying “Germany suffer more shut up you britbong” then let them.
In a year or two they will start crying when subs they add doesn’t make sense lol

Too bad there arent 20 Abrams variants left to be added lol

Honestly… better, xD.

Gaijin would probably continue to add M1A2 sidegrades for eternity just to avoid adding an actual upgrade for the first time since 2019.

I mean, they still can technically add SA/FEP/AIM/HA, etc… but I really hope they are just going straight for SEPv3 once and for all… some hull armor already…

unbalanced or not it is undeniable that the top tier does have all the focus. Only 1 update since I joined the forums wasn’t(the M109 one).

meanwhile, we WW2 injoyers get nothing (premium and event don’t count as they have extra costs.). we see next to nothing as TT.

And then? What are they gonna do after the SEPv3? That’s kinda the point why it’s about time to shift back towards the older eras. The Ground trees are just about to meet the end of the line, unless Gaijin goes the WoT route.

They have made it pretty clear that they do not care about certain nations MBTs by now tbh, so I don’t see how adding something like the SEPv3 would help balance things out…

SEPv3, SEPv3 with Trophy… and, finally, U.S would be actually on par with Sweden, Germany (both of which can and will keep getting further improved and uparmored Leopards) and Russia (which is about to get a second and improved BVM) xD

Focusing on WW2 right now, without fixing Top Tier, would just mean an already fleshed out BR range would be being polished even further while a broken BR range would not be being addressed and corrected as it needs to be.

Quite the contrary, not yet! First, Top Tier must be balanced. Then, focus can be re-directed. But, at the present time, we really need focus on balancing this mess of a BR range.

Because, for the first time since M1 back in 2018, America would finally get a hull armor upgrade, putting it on par with the nations that also have improved hull armors which they’ve been getting while all America has got is 2019 M1A2 sidegrades.

Many MBTs need fixing, too; like the Type 10s, Leclercs, Merkavas… and they could benefit from additions like Leclerc XLR, EMBT, etc.

SEPv4 after SEPv3 and then we start getting into the unmanned turret MBTs (M1 TTB, Armata) and 130+ mm MBTs (M1 CATTB, Thumper, Leclerc Terminateur, Object 195 etc)

Again, I know most nations MBTs need to be fixed, but as the french, british, israeli, japanese (and italian that want to use their tank rather than a leopard) have shown again and again on these Forums, no matter how much bug reporting and source digging happens, Gaijin just doesn’t seem to care.

Also, judging by the current balance situation, I don’t think getting into EMBT territory would help at all, especially not when certain nations don’t have any equivalents.

As it stands the US would get something like the AbramsX, Russia would get the T-14, France and Germany the EMBT and Israel the Merkava 4 Barak. What would Italy, Sweden, Japan, China and Britain get?

So, only new tanks for half of the nations at most?
