Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Technically yukari should be leaking it next weekend if last year is any indication.

I’m going to go against the norm and put by guess for the first dev blog around December 3rd.

ofekk’s TT is interesting. I wonder when Israel will start getting love. It needs LT in almost all BR’s and top tier SPAA’s. I also wonder when we’ll get news on which nations will be Israel’s subtrees.

It must be the most abandoned TT in WT history. In the last three years:

We’ve received only one high tier light tank, the namer and only one spaa, the Chaparral. We got scouting capability at high ranks for the first time.

With namer, we also got drone launch capability for the first time (drone age didn’t exist for Israel)

With namer we also got spikes, ironic huh?

Except for top tier, the air tree hasn’t received any new vehicles in years.

The ground tree didn’t get any new top tier MBT’s. The only Israeli origin aircraft currently, the kfir, only has one TT variant (the other two are premium and event).

In three years there are still planes that haven’t even received the ability to add custom skins. The air TT has only 3 lines. The ground TT only received magachs. Merkavas have paper armor, not to mention that in-game Merkavas 1, 2, and 3 weigh almost the same as Merkavas 4, as does the namer, which doesn’t even have a turret.

The ground tree has only 3 unlockable skins… (green, brown, and white)

Completely agree with everything.

It’s a shame too, because in a vacuum, getting new variants of Tiran / Magach / Sabra each update is cool. I’m glad to see them come to the game, but when there is desperate shortages of auxiliaries in the tree…It’s not that I feel ungrateful, it just doesn’t help, and it makes it hard to enjoy these MBT’s when you have nothing to support their lineups with, besides identical MBT’s.

IMO, a top AA needs to be absolute top priority. Words cannot describe how painful it is to play top tier without a playable AA, whilst GRB turns more into CAS-RB every update. Followed quickly by more mobile lights.

People tell you to spawn AA but you don’t have one. People tell you to spawn CAP, but you lack scouts to lower their SP cost. It’s getting depressing now. The only reason I’d ever concede to us getting a Subtree, is in the hopes it’d mean we could most of our dire shortages (AA/Lights) filled in one update.

A leak list may very well come next week.

It’d be one hell of a late one.

What loadouts would these get?

I like magach. The problem is my 9.3 (and now 9.7) lineup has seven of them. Spawning and re-spawning in the same vehicles makes me hit alt-f4 after three games.

It takes you three games? It’d take me only one.

I was basing it off of last year(I think). and how it’s dev session didn’t start until december.

Yes, I think I was generous. I just didn’t want to offend my collection of fifty Patton/Magach tanks.

The biggest shame of all, is that because they only ever seem to add Magach’s, the wider community seems to brand Israel as nothing more than the copy paste Magach tree, and that it shouldn’t be in the game, but the missed potential is so much more.

Every update we get another MBT just feels like a complete opportunity loss for something much more needed, and frankly, much more fun.

You just can’t build healthy, enjoyable lineups.

Does it submerge your expectations ??

I’m not saying it shouldn’t, I main it lol. I’m saying many others say it shouldn’t.

why spend our time caring for those tho?

we could be happily awaiting another Magach instead!

Yeah, instead of making the sholef an unique TT tank, they made it a battlepass one…
And where is the Sholef V.2?

When do i get my Nakajima Kikka prototype…???
That would be a very nice 6.7 addition, since Japan doesnt have a single 6.7 plane (only the event plane from 19/20)

The Kikka… prototype? The one that was unarmed (and otherwise identical to the Kikka we already have)? Do you plan on winning via an acrobatics competition? Are you asking for the Kikka but with only one gun instead? Which would be acceptable, I guess.
Ki-94 or J6K would’ve fit the bill if they weren’t event planes.

J8M with Type-5 cannons
