Not really. They’re way more clunky, and make a huge ploom of smoke all the way to target.

As I understand it, the Alpha Jet(TH) was the one which was expected to appear in update " Alpha Strike ", the FCU was an unexpected detour. But we already know that gaijin needs at minimum six months to prepare a vehicle, and often takes longer - sometimes several years pass between a vehicle being ready and it being added.

Even if the FCU had been planned to come alone in Feb, it would’ve been decided to develop it in the middle of 2023 at the latest. Since we have now seen the AV-8S, F-5A(TH), and F-5T SCU in the files, it credits the leaks towards the likelihood of a Thai subbranch ( at the least ) having been the plan; the aircraft planned to compose a TH subtree probably started their development process together, more than a year ago. Developing multiple vehicles to appear together would take longer than the 6mo minimum that 's been mentioned for individual ones, logically.

Since until recently our leakers understanding of the plans w/ ASEAN was that it would introduced as part of Thailand, under Japan, it would follow that their leaked ground vehicles, plus any of their other kinds of vehicles yet to be seen, have been in development for a similar or the same timeframe as the Thai ones: more than a year.

The thing is, it really wasn’t. And the players who even know abt the leak ( us on the forum, and some small scattergroups on social media ) are still a very small group inside of those who interact w/ the game outside of playing it, which is itself only a tiny fraction of the playerbase total size.

We have no way of knowing if the leak or reaction to the leak could’ve been a factor in the singapore Leopard 's non-appearance. Not even if it was a factor.
Making predictions as if it was, while we still don’t have much concrete information on what ** is planned** for the update in a few weeks ( in comparison to what might be, based on partial evidence ) compared to what we had for the last two, could mislead us to miss critical information should it appear in the time being.

Yes, the point being the people that did see it didn’t react exactly very positive, especially those from the respective countries.

Of course, that was just my interpretation of the leaks I’ve seen on the forum and otherwise. It is never guaranteed, best we can hope is they do what is best for the game and its players.

I can confirm this. The reddit forum for example conpletely believes gaijin’s lie that the leak was fake and ASEAN was never planned for china.

Id say this thursday the earliest
Edit spelling

Highest Leopard 2A4s in-game currently are the Canadian Leopard 2A4M and the Leopard 2PL I think.

Unless I missed one
2PL would be higher though if it got its actual best round (unless Gaijin fixed it then idk)
Also not sure if the 2A4M was supposed to have it’s armour fixed

First historical story is waiting for approval on the wiki!!
Ki-200 Shusui!!

Where is the edit button please

My opinion, battle rating might should to 13.3 in the ground RB & SB for aircraft top tier because some day gajin could add another guided Air-to-Ground munitions lock range 25 ~ 75 km

BR 12.0 for Pantsir-S1 it enough

But if Pantsir-S1M, battle rating would be 12.3 or 12.7

New APFSDS for Leclerc S2, M1A2 SEP, M1A2 SEPv2, Leopard 2A7 HU, Leclerc SXXI, Leopard 2A7V, Leclerc AZUR and Challenger 3 TD if ground RB & SB up to 12.3

SHARD for Leclerc SXXI/AZUR and C1 AMV should be reasonable. They have a ludicrous pen but everything else about these two tanks are mid.

Why cross out one of the most sensible things said in this forums.

MiG-25 would be cooler though

Nah guys A-6E SWIP fr this time tho, trust

Can’t really blame them, Gaijin so far have at least tried to stay out of current day political tensions. This does seem like a bit of a fever dream.

The aircraft should have been nerfed before coming to the live server. Would have avoided peoples confusion as to if it was historic or not.

Oh wow looks like you don’t understand the content of that post nor the context of why I posted it.

Ignorance is bliss

Gaijin can try to stay out of controversy.

Unfortunately they’re kind of inept.
