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

Because that’s what determines the stuff they get ingame? Last I checked the US never ordered Gripens, and look, the US doesn’t have Gripens ingame

Pakistan has T-80 and Mi-35 because that’s what Pakistan has irl?

And there we go, that irl so why should war thunder a game that is just all electricity and pixels have to be 1 to 1 ?

That’s sort of the premise of the game though? Doesn’t make any sense to have German and Italian hornets zipping around, when they don’t exist

Going by your logic we can as well screw the whole tech tree system and let people research what they want… Is that what you want?
Also you might not be aware but beyond arcade battles there’s realistic and simulator battles with people who actually care about realism

I mean isn’t gaijin already doing that with subs ?

That is arguably partially correct. However, well-chosen subtrees are fine since they technologically suit well their host nation. Which obviously isn’t true for Russian tech slammed into Britain for the sake of Indian tech
But that’s another story

That’s the thing isn’t it, Sub nations must complement the host nations but how can they do that when they are from the other side. if the dev’s did care truly then sub nations would had their own tabs and did a public poll to see who suited that host nation the most.

Yeah, i mean yeah? I own most of the US TT ground and air, i have no real need for another premium but if i was only part of the way through the UK and the AU F18 was added to them id probably buy a British premium to grind it faster. Im also more inclined to buy unique premiums if gaijin just makes TT equivalents worse. J35XS or T.10 harrier, AV8A, ect ect. Its just consumerism at its finest.

Additionally i grind every TT and i attempt to spade every vehicle. Trust me nothing can turn someone away from a TT faster than the grind. Even if i spade every vehicle and the RP from spading is wasted because i have everything i still spade the vehicles.

Also i beg snail, let me show my spaded vehicles…i need something to show my efforts with coastal boats…

Tbf so far gaijin has only actually cared for one subnation and its SA, no other subnation has received even the most miniscule amount of care compared to them. If gaijin put even half the effort they do into the other subnations as they do woth SA maybe we’d see some actually unique vehicles from all eras. Not that it would fix the fact that gaijin basically has avoid fixing lacking areas with most subnations which means the majority of vehicles added dont have a proper lineup.

So you just grind for the sake of getting everything?

Sooo with ~9 days to go, any ideas on what the next BP could be? Or we not seen any leaks or hints or nudges of hopium yet?

Kinda, staying to one tree is boring. I wsnt to play everything, some trees have vehicle combos that are really fun or downright frustrating to play and i find it fun. I didn’t play the US because i liked being top of my team game after game, i played them because the super persh is cool. Additionally i wanted the HSTVL. I grind japan for multiple tanks to just have them. Mainly just for the Type 93 though.

Most likely will hear something by the end of the week. Thursday or Friday is my guess.

ans SAs implementation is mediocre at best. only adding two or three actually worthwhile vehicles depending on who you ask.

IIRC it only happenned because someody gifted gaijin the models because they wanted to see them and only got one aircraft as a stopgap before another british one. Trees like BeNeLux and Hungary added substancially more variety to their host trees (allthough far less thats unique)

gaijin doesnt care for uniqueness, if they can use premade assets or assets they already have with new paint as much in another way they will.

this isnt a subnation based problem but i agree that nations need vehicles to make linups first before random other things can be thrown into the mix

It got lost under the news abt the SEAD mission being added, but they also added new high-BR versions of Norway for Air RB which don’t have aircraft carriers:

Here 's some comparisons between the existing map " norway/carriers/template_carriers_high_rank " and the new map " norway_top/airfields/template_airfields_high_ranks " which show the change:


As far as I’m aware, the highrank version of Norway which has carriers was already not available outside of the Custom Battles selector since the Norway-series maps were not in the rotation at high enough BR 's for it to appear in the map queue. The carrier-less Norway maps don’t seem to be viewable though normal means at all yet.
