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

Their status is follows I think, If the UK is in need of an aircraft in a specific role while a cancelled or scrapped aircraft can fill a Commonwealth equivalent to that will be added.

It’s unfair that a Canadian player can’t make Canadian lineups and an Indian one can. Even more unfair is that the excuse used to deny one is the same excuse used to justify the other. Let’s accept that they are destroying the MM even more for the sole purpose of making more money. In the long term the game will end up losing all its charm. The vehicles are very nice, but the roleplaying and realism are on the verge of extinction. Why can’t I put Soviet decals on British vehicles if they later add Soviet vehicles to the British TT? Again, it’s ridiculous. The best option, in the current context, is to remove restrictions between tech trees and allow the creation of interchangeable lineups. At least I could put together a Canadian lineup (even if I have to grind 5 different TTs to get it).

I see Canadian CFF-18 going to Germany and the US receiving the OZ F/A-18 as a premium and the F/A-18C as the tech tree version

I’ve been saying this for years. Just get rid of national trees and have like 2 or 4 really big ones based on hemisphere or continent. National trees have been dead for a while.
We’re already halfway there with that subtree garbage people are obsessed with.

that’s not going to happen, you know why.

Germany is banking on Swiss tech tree, if that isn’t planned Germany will receive an F/A-18 the Canadian one makes sense with Gaijins decision to put the 2A4M and the future 2A6M in German tree

Nah. They won’t get any non-german built Canadian vehicles.

Britain aren’t cast iron on getting future Canadian vehicles

Canadian built stuff is quite likely. But CF-18 will only go to the US or UK trees.

I think hemisphere won’t be the best, but with a bit of work current subtrees could become a lot more interesting.

Instead of having “national but not really” trees, it should be factions of multiple properly national trees that simply share lineups.
Basically subtrees, but better.

I feel like that comment is missing a link.

There’s zero reason especially if your getting the Swiss variant

I’m not the Swiss tree hasn’t been confirmed

Brother Smin said loads of time the Swiss home is currently within Germany so you getting a Swiss one over a Canadian one is 100%

Swiss Hornet would make much more sense in the German tree than a Canadian one. The Canadian Leos went in the German tree as prems/event vehicles because they’re Leos.

Plus the F-111C has set a precedent for AUS jets being put in the UK tree.

Creating interchangeable lineups between several national tech trees would allow:

  1. a better roleplaying game
  2. if Israel is missing a damn LT, I’ll research one of the BR I need in another nation
  3. more people will be encouraged to research all the tech trees, to get what they need
  4. c&p would cease to exist: I mean, you can keep adding the same vehicles with modifications (even with small modifications it already turns it into a different vehicle), but you eliminate 100% of the pure c&p.
  5. Germany would have no more cas problems, and I could choose planes from its NATO allies for air support and not have to spam damn migs 19, migs 27 or su22. Those who like soviet planes can choose them anyway, but nobody is forced to.
  6. if Japan doesn’t have a plane, let each player choose the one they like, avoiding creating fictitious planes.
  7. If you want Yugoslavian or Hungarian vehicles, you add a tab with vehicles from those nations and that’s it. There will be no more nations with shortages in a certain specialty and everyone will be happy.
  8. simulator mode is dead anyway. As I said, going with CM11 and ZTT96 in the same lineup, in simulator, is a rip-off and not a simulation.

I forgot about the F-111C!

I meant to also say continents. Which is how that one modern WoT knockoff works iirc. Probably be the best way to go about it I think.
No matter what you’re basically just hamfisting a bunch of nations together for the sole reason of “shiny new thing”.

Hate that the game cant be balanced so we have Russian and British tanks on the same team.
We used to have nation specific match ups and the game was so much better for it. Now its just world of tanks

Isn’t that how it was in WW2 ?
