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

Abrams probably given that mbts is their thing and they pretty much all have at least one issue

Yeah pretty much. Hoping for an F-15 missing BOL mention though lol

Oh, I do this pretty much 365 days a year lmao

As a matter of fact, allow me to;

Regarding the Abrams MBTs:

1- Still missing a properly modelled volumetric turret ring.
2- Still missing proper fuel tank bulkhead plates’ thicknesses.
3- Still missing proper fuel tank bulkhead armor geometries/plates.
4- SEP and SEPv2 still missing the improved turret armor.
5- SEPv2 still unable to take off the dead weight called TUSK II.
6- M1A1 AIM still missing its historical KE-W A2 shell even though other Abrams tanks at the exact same BR use M829A2, which is even better.
7- M1A2 SEPv2 still missing its historical M829A3 shell for no particular reason even though Gaijin officially stated that it would still be balanced (at least that new shell would make it feel like an actual upgrade in ONE aspect…)

Better start drafting the 4th of July one now then

The M1s all also have an erroneous Hydraulic “pump” location.

Ah, true, forgor about that!

Usually I’m not one to entertain myself with USA main cope but the hydraulic pump is genuinely stupid.

Hydraulic pump fixed + turret ring fixed and boom the Abrams is much better

And those pesky fuel tank bulkheads, out of all of the issues that’s the one that I dislike the most

Oh god ! 😮

CF-18 UK, AU F-18C to US (asraam), AU Super Hornet/growler to UK.

Or ideally just keep F-18 to US and Sweden since outside of finland no confirmed subtree or main tree operates it

EF-18A to Italy (premium)?

What about skin for US F-18 instead? Italy already has a rank 8 premium no?

That depends if F/A-18A comes to America in the first place ; )

Seems increasingly likely we may skip to the C

They could add the F/A-18A+ to US as premium and give it a Spanish skin to sell a few more maybe?

That would be lame if they skipped over earlier versions entirely.

We saw a Legacy Hornet in the 2025 decal. We’re more likely to skip the F/A-18A to get to the C than we are to skip the A/C to get to the E/F imo.

That could work. Apparently Gaijin is okay with just getting whatever vehicle is close enough for a skin, like the Aussie Phantom

I’m somewhat hoping the sub tree is real. We could see it around the same time as the Iran-Iraq WWM.
