A Canadian Leopard is still a leopard in the end. Tbh, what does Canada have that the US could actually use? The low tier stuff we either have or it wouldn’t make sense in the US tree. The CL-13 are literally just license made sabres. Some stuff is unique and fairly interesting but has more technical ties to the UK. At higher tiers, the US will get LAV, Canada or not. CF-18 are again, just license made hornets. The leopard is already in Germany, and we have Abrams which tbh I like more than Leopards
I guess the folder thing would work but would have to both have US and UK
Just because two nations are on the same continent doesn’t mean they belong in the same tree.
The CF-105? The UK was the only nation to ever look at using it than just Canada.
The Achilles and AVRE? Wouldn’t exist without Canada building the prototypes.
What nations used/looked at the majority of the Canadian stuff? The UK and BeNeLux.
Until the 80s there was British stuff as primary vehicles and it would be until 2024 that Canada’s WT possible vehicles wouldn’t have a British one in the mix for some time.
That’s a pretty important job though no? And they do air defence stuff as well. There isn’t relationship like that with the British, which is why if Canada comes it should be as a folder tree
And said important job doesn’t have anything to do with the combat side of the forces.
And ignores that fact WW2 makes up a large part of WT and Canada was well integrated into the British chain of command to the point we had people decently high up the chain. (And we had to ship everything Canada built to the UK after passing testing in Canada of them to see and green light)
As a “folder”(under the sub-trees rework) Canada makes the most sense in the UK tree.
aim 9x is too strong because of the seeker which has IIR
and that also means that other nation will get their equivalent that are either equal or stronger than aim 9x
we are not ready for that yet
also we need higher brs and ways to defeat those missiles and to my knowledge we dont have smart flares and modeling that in game would take a lot of time
And only a few days later we’re getting devblogs for the next ?
In the next update, the rank VIII airplanes will appear in the game. These are still piston aircraft, which are slightly more powerful than rank VII vehicles, but are too much better than rank VI. Therefore they are marked as a separate rank. This is not a “new era” of aviation, but a continuation of the current branches with balance adjustments.
Seems like this will be one of, or the last step before researchable* jets are added to Mobile. It 's possible we’ll see some new mechanics early through them, like how the code for split chaff/flare selection was added there some time before it made it 's way here.
New aircraft appearing there first is also a possibility.
*there are already a few early jets available as flyouts in WTM 's AB Ground mode.
EDIT: just found out that WT Mobile has a presskit page on the WT main site, w/ some game screenshots
