definitely needed. IR F&F missiles are spreading everywhere, and top CAS balance is broken, gaijin put prem AV-8B and F-111F in such low br with IR F&F weapons, make it a buffet when downtiered.
To rebalance the top, I think new SPAA with about 20km max range, 12km operational range and auto terminal guidence(ARH or IR), is needed.
and of course, make these IR F&F carriers’ br higher, no less than 12.0 I think.

not too
I think it’s still too early. The leak usually come near the first dev.

Yeah, i’m pretty sure they aren’t leaks but planted information. It’s soooo systematic. Must be a marketing ploy.
Whatever it is, it works.
No, but we do have a few reasonable guesses based on leaks from the last update, datamines, and official Gaijin sources:
Anti-radiation missiles, hinted by Gaijin video team
SEAD game mode/mission type, datamined
New rank VI ships for UK, Italy, Germany, and France, confirmed by Smin
F/A-18, cut from last update
Boxer, cut from last update
OSA, cut from last update
Soviet KV-1 variant, cut from last update
CTWV ICV, cut from last update
JH-7 premium, cut from last update
Benelux ground, possible based on previous additions
Thai air or ground, possible based on previous additions
Submarines, many related datamines and additions recently.
Obvs there is no guarantee that any of these things will make it into the coming update, this is just what we have evidence of Gaijin working on behind the scenes right now.

Yes please!
What did the mine suggest? PvE?
Sim?
And
🤔
@Major_Majestic36 don’t let your imagination run too wild but do you think there is a relation here?

Sweet. Anti radiation missiles for ground targets in the existing air EC is what i really want.
New Rank VI ship for GERMANY, confirmed by Smin?
Well…
As a German player, I will love that Tirpitz and I will look forward to it.
As an American player… WHAT THE HELL?
I fint it hilarious that it’s possible that Germany gets a Bismarck-class Battleship while U.S is still stuck in full-minute-reload 356s xD.

isn’t it too early, at least after new top SPAA for everyone

Well, it’s a bit of inference.
In the Rumor Roundup thread for Dance of Dragons, when asked about when France would get a 7.0, Smin said “Every nation will get a new Rank VI ship over the next two updates.”
Since that included DoD at the time, and it had Rank VI ships for Japan, USA, and USSR, that must mean that the next update should include Rank VI ships for UK, France, Italy, and Germany.

The SEAD mode will likely use the NPC long-range SAM assets that have been datamined recently. It’s most likely an air mission type, not a mixed battles one.

I see!
Well, my Talisman Scharnhorst and Baden will look forward to it, hahah.
My 7-business-day-reload American BBs that blow up whenever they are glanced at on the other hand… not so much xD.

Trustworthy leaks usually drop 1-2 weeks before devblogs, which themselves begin 1-2 weeks before the update itself.
Given that the update will likely come out in late October/early November, it’s possible that we could see leaks from trustworthy sources (Olivia, Gszabi, chinese leaker) as early as next week.

so more like a pve A2G mission with specific aims
It’s more likely at least.
Considering that the datamined SAM assets are things like S-300 and Patriot, I’m not sure what player-operated SHORAD systems will have to do in that mode.
I’d also love those vessels to be submarines, but I think that the idea of rank VI submarines is a bit further away.
If the Battle of the Atlantic event is representative of the BR/ranks of submarines as we get them in the main game, the Type VII was 3.7 and (I believe) rank III. A Rank VI sub would almost have to be a post-war submarine, and while that is possible and they are in WT Mobile, I can’t see Gaijin starting submarines there.
