Yep. When I talk about ground love, I’m not just talking about the dozens of potential additions left (sidegrades and minimal upgrades are fine, since we got lineups here); I am also talking about fixes.
At this point, fixed Leclercs, Merkavas, Type 10s, etc, would feel like entirely new vehicles altogether.
But they just don’t care. Several bug reports with literal photographs of Challenger 2’s LFP spall liners, “accepted”, still have done nothing about it.
One thing I see when arguing why one nations should get 20+ additions every update and others nothing is people forgetting there are other BRs in the game.
Like the excuse for X or Y nation get next to nothing is that they don’t have anything for top tier. So? add stuff at lower BRs, after all both domestic and C&P vehicles could go there(aka back fill with missing vehicles/variants) well waiting on the ability to add the next top tier vehicle for said nations.
How about adding the weaker variant, but not alongside more powerful, but equally powerful options for others.
Yes, adding a weaker aircraft in the same update is just a straight downgrade, but that’s not the point, the weaker aircraft would’ve been there sooner. Essentially all nations should have roughly equal aircraft if they are available, and only skipped if there is nothing to fill such a role.
The better variants should still come alongside their equivalents.
Not sure what they specifically could’ve done for Sweden here, but I’m sure there’s someone with more knowledge of the various Nordic nations air forces that knows more, or can at least confirm this is the best they could do for now.
That isn’t because it’s not the best Finnish F-18, it’s because Sweden was already lagging behind in the top tier department with the Gripen showing its age notably, only to be rewarded with an objectively worse version of another nations vehicle at the same BR. Context matters.
Italy and Britain would have been fine (and the Typhoon barely adds anything over what they already had. But Germany had no choice and there was only one fair thing to do
I am still confused with Gaijin’s logic on not adding the MLU for the Finnish F/A-18. There reasoning cause they adding it later is weird. Unless the reason is because they want to give it advanced ordnance that they don’t want to add this update maybe?
