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

Anything with a 40mm Gun over the current DWs 25mm

So Ajax, Boxer or Warrior Verdi II would be a huge upgrade. The DW lacks the raw gun power that stuff like the Puma, 2S38, CV90, etc etc have and has a rather useless ATGM at the moment with the state of TOW

Combine with a decent ATGM, ideally an FnF ATGM like the Javelin which is slated for both the Boxer and Ajax and we’ll have a solid 10.7 at the very least, rather than the 9.3 we have to use currently.

VERDI II just makes a great hybrid SPAA for the BR too

it does have Javelins so that would be cool

It was a C&P Filler becuase there was interest in getting the F-111K. But did the US really need 2 near identical F-111s?

We didnt really want the first one.

I did predict the mig25 to be the current event reward, but fortunatly was wrong about it.
The KV-7 was quite a while ago I do suspect something event for the soviets - BP aside - either the BMPT, Stalingrad or MiG-25 which would be very cool and definitely made into event vehicles.

literally lol

USthunder · April 28, 2025, 2:06pm

Anything interesting happen over the weekend?
(I already know the answer is no, I just want something to cope over)

There are folders, events, squadrons, premiums, space at the top tier for ground

Smugspite · April 28, 2025, 2:06pm

there is also this variant but not really sure what this one has besides the CTA-40

Morvran · April 28, 2025, 2:08pm

Just add this, Im sure LOAL Brimstone 3s on a first spawn wouldnt be a problem :P

Smugspite · April 28, 2025, 2:08pm

so what im hearing is instead of giving it to a nation that for all intents and purposes compared to America has nothing you would rather it go to america where the vast majority of their tech will never see the light of day, and if it does it will be a premium or event tank great idea

Smugspite · April 28, 2025, 2:09pm

true or Ares Overwatch as well would be fun, but I doubt gaijin will actually give the UK a top tier TD that or they will make them SAL still

Morvran · April 28, 2025, 2:09pm

Ground launched SAL Brimstone 1s with 500 SP spawn cost :D

Smugspite · April 28, 2025, 2:10pm

I think you mean 920sp after all gotta make it cost as much as a plane to spawn

/s

Airbus Beluga XL

Speaking of 40mm IFVs here is a 40mm CT armed ZBL08/VN1, its estimated to have an elevation of 70-80 degrees

Well it only has 90+90 thats the problem

There is an entire line at top tier for K1 and K2, the K9 can fit in after the M109, the FA-50 can go in AV-8B line, the F-15K can folder with strike eagle.

Smugspite · April 28, 2025, 2:18pm

that is 5 vics, none of which actually add anything the US was lacking compare that to Japan

quartas121 · April 28, 2025, 2:20pm

K1 adds hydropneumatic suspension, Japan already has that. K2 adds a good tank. K9 adds a more advanced SPG than M109, Japan already has that. FA-50 adds a light attack/trainer jet, Japan already has that. F-15K adds a strike eagle with SLAM and wing kit JDAM, which US does not have

Guys, can I remind once again please that this is not the wishlist topic. I appreciate we are in a period of downtime between majors, but we have a topic for wishlisting.

You don’t need to use this topic.

How long does it take to have a topic accepted?
