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

Increased amounts is the selling point, they’re most advanced by definition, why would you not put your most advanced weapons on your newest fighter jet, would be kind of pointless if they designed it specifically to use up all their old weapons wouldn’t it?

yeah, I was enjoying top tier before this patch, even the F-15E was fine to play against but now the game is just not that fun, and the Typhoon doesn’t feel unique enough yet, what I really want is ASRAAMs, and more Chinese jets

I mean that better option than ripping apart a nation just to appease a major in WT.

What nation is it now? Qatar? Look at their air force and you’ll see why it honestly should be spread across nations, or ripped apart or whatever you want to call it

I mean for Air RB the ground Meta is back even more so since only some nations have the payload or the engine performance to sky climb and lob their Fox 3’s.

Honestly the 16 player lobbies are so awful because of the amount of Fox 3’s up at any given time. Its also bad because if you get Russia, Sweden, China, on a team as the majority you’re basically screwed. (Rip grinding Russia past 13.0 for a while.)

Again it was also pretty bad when it qas just the F15’s but id like to see the meta shift and the natch maker actually change, id love to see a few experimental game modes come in to see how they perform, maybe gun only for those that want that. Regardless the sky climb meta has been pretty stale especially with how basic the maps are imo.

Idk maybe its just me but having to play notch simulator for the first 10 minutes of the match with non fox 3 carrying vehicles is just stale. Especially when AIM-7E2 doesn’t cut it at this BR. Aim 7F is better but not enough to make me take more than 2 when AIM-9M is available.

F-15QA reference?

Oh im waiting for other nations to get the AU and Canada treatment. Ready to see Danish vehicles on other nations (if we get anymore lol)

No i just was just stupid and pressed q instead of w lmao

I am very tired and i also dont care enough to change it, you understand it thats good enough for me.

It’s more Canada than Australia, Australia has 15 vehicles and 14 of them are in the British tree, which isn’t really that bad. Canada on the other hand is split 7/3/2 between Britain/USA/Germany, which is actually awful

So then replace AU with Finland, you can have a bigger Finnish lineup on Germany than on Finland lol.

Regardless i do wonder if Canada will ever be added officially as either a Subtree or be added into a mixed multi national tree where there is no one specific nation as the progenitor.

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

I feel like Australia will eventually be added to Britain in some official sense, though the trees are getting pretty full so IDK how that will look.

Canada on the other hand, I have no idea, it staying split between the US and UK seems most likely unfortunately, I don’t see them adding it to Britain after we’ve already gotten South Africa, India, and then most likely Australia first, though I can hope, and I know from the Canadians on here that adding them to the US isn’t a popular suggestion, though still probably better than being split forever. I think the best case is just waiting for subnational folders, which is the solution we all want and need

Except for Canada/Australia, do we have any other cases that provide one nation’s vehicles to at least 2 nations as subtree vehicles?

I mean to much lesser extents, Turkey, Poland, Austria, Finland, Romania, and Vietnam, but none of them are as bad as Canada

Yeah, i think aside from Turkey and Poland which are split on quite a few nations i think we can expect to see everyone aside from Finland be split to other nations.

Finland was given to France, Germany who has more unique vehicles than Finland lol.

I think Romania is probably going to stay with Italy, i cant see them going anywhere else. As for Turkey and Poland i feel they are the most likely to be given to a nation before long.

Poland is split between UK and Germany
Turkey is split between US and Italy
Both only have 3 vehicles, all premium tab ones

This was done before Finland was a subtree and only one has been added since just Sweden was a tree, it’s all historic, like all the Israeli, French, and Chinese vehicles in other trees before they had their own

Same here, the vehicles outside of Italy are all from before Romania was an Italian subtree

I’d expect Vietnam at least would just be Chinese from now on, they just have 2 copies of the same vehicle, one for the USSR and then the same vehicle in the Chinese research tree the same patch China was added, so again that one is only split because the better option wasn’t available at first.

Austria probably should be German.

Poland should eventually get its own tree in some form or another.

Turkey I can see being a subtree, but there are a few options for who it would go to so it may stay split.

Still locking vehicles to a nation when they get added as a subtree is a bad idea. Finland has no actual lineups at the BR where they had multiple vehicles which filled one of the worst free to play BR’s only to immediately lose access and get splut again which makes them fail to fill any actual holes until 8.7 which has 2 finnish vehicles at the same BR. Again its a poor choice from gaijin imo.

Again still waiting for literally any of the unique vehicles used by them for their WW2 lineup though its looking less likely with each patch.

KV-1A is a mess and it has no lineup where as at least the B does regardless its off topic.

As for Austria i think they should go to Germany for the most part but be more similar to AU considering i dont think they fully need Austria considering most gaps Germany has can be filled by wither the Swiss or themselves considering the number of vehicles they have.

idk a Swiss-Austrian sub would be fun and the 105 can help with CAS

105 really doesn’t do much more than what the G91 does. Besides sweden would literally only have the 3 jets that would be unique to them lol (Viggens, Lansens, and the J21’s), considering the poor state the air tree is in, we dont need another thing completely nullifing the only point left to grind it.

(Also the Alpha jet essentially takes the place of the 105G in terms of CAS but actually can dogfight unlike the 105 lol, i cant really see a good reason for them to need a full Austrian sub tree for air.)

Besides what does Austrian air offer that germany isnt already covered in? I could see some 7.x jets since the ME 262’s are awful to use for the most part and really i cant see them needing much from the Austrian air.

You’d have to actually explain to me where Austria could go that Germany isn’t already covered in to get me to think they should be added over just the Swiss. I think Austria could be a nice prem sub nation but i domt see a reason to add most of their air vehicles when Switzerland has more unique options to offer at BR’s where Germany is actually lacking in. Austria imo just Bolsters most of the air BR’s that Germany has a lot of already. I could understand ground getting more stuff for a lineup. Again id rather see the Swiss over the Austrians for the time

I mean id like to see the J35ÖE come in but considering the lack of drakens in game id hate to see yet another premium, though considering gaijin and how they balance the J35’s it would probably be 12.3 lol

I really doubt that China will get Thailand/Malaysia/Singapore together as their ground subtree, instead of Pakistan or Vietnam, most of their vehicles is just like C&P instead of replenishment
