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

They have a separate thing for BAE jets. No ground vehicles though

I guess the black night is a joke to you and @StormRyder13. GB does have BAE ground.

Don’t take every discrepancy on the wiki to be gospel.

It isn’t in the BAE system’s manufacturer list on wt wiki, and my bad for not being familiar with every product of BAE

Someone didn’t properly mark the vehicle make the Black night any less BAE?

No, it just means I didn’t see it

Fair enough. I don’t know why the wiki keeps it under vickers while even in the description they say it was BAEs bid for Challenger 2 life extension.

BAE system’s inc. stuff wouldn’t go to UK if there was defence industry subtree

I’m well aware and I agree with others it’s dumb. Even more so as the Mk 4 was specifically built for the UK.

I’ll say what I said last time, more “1-lined” sub-trees is extremely flawed. Yes, some nations have so much domestic stuff another line could be used

But rather, Gaijin needs to give sub-trees their own tab. As all sub-trees/wanted sub-trees have far more vehicle then could fit in one line.

I don’t know anything about stuff I’m not interested in bring it up with those running the wiki.

And I found why it’s not under the BAE page, it sorted into Vickers / Vickers-Armstrongs | Manufacturers | War Thunder Wiki

That’s just the US branch. It’s like FNH and how they have FNHUSA

It does say that they have a special agreement to mitigate foreign ownership though

Nations have concerns when it comes to their defense contractors having foreign influence by other nations. (even allies) so a DC when they set up shop to do business in US even while they are still BAE they put up a whole new team and command structure.

I don’t know the exact details. but either way BAE while being BAE US doesn’t make BAE less BAE.

I do agree it’s not ideal, however it fits better with what Gaijin are doing, and it seems the most likely way we’d get more subtree vehicles, obviously the subtree tabs idea is better, but Gaijin don’t seem too interested in it so while I would like to see it, I generally avoid making comments with the expectation of it

I doubt more lines are likelier then new tabs. After all the dislike the idea of added a scroll wheel for left-right.

Well tabs are something built into the game already.

But I doubt we see either any time soon.

Whatever you say.

I’m pretty sure that BAE doesn’t stand for anything anymore, like how BP doesn’t actually mean British Petroleum anymore

The name BAE systems comes from the merge of British AErospace and Marconi Systems. the BAE still stands for what it previously did
