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

You managed to make me like a comment with a “should of”, and that’s saying a lot xD

Basically, yes. Only Spain used it IIRC.

And Germany as well

Edit: nvm, mixed Li with JuLi

Germany didn’t use the AIM-9JuLi, they used the AIM-9Li.

I think this is far less of a concern for the average new players than it is for the nation mains. Most people’s concerns with buying premium vehicles is usually:

A) Is the vehicle good? (or at least is it not bad?)
B) Is the vehicle easy to get into/easy to use?
C) Can the vehicle quickly get me to where I want to go in the TT (which is usually top tier)?

Hi Smin,

Could you perhaps clarify the reason why the Dutch PZH2000NL wasnt added at the same time as the other PZH2000’s?

I want to wager that most of the people who are new actually are going to play the major nations instead of minor nations such as US/RU/GR and probably China. A lot of the players playing France are choosing France as their 3rd, 4th, 5th nations which helps explain why a lot of French vehicles have high winrates, not necessarily because the vehicles are cracked at their BRs but instead the players who play France are very experienced. So when you have someone who has already played Germany for example and completed the tech tree, why would France entice them with the Leopard 2A4NL/Leclerc versus say M1 KVT/M1A2 SEPv2? One tech tree offers a vehicle they’re already used to when they are looking for a new experience, making other tech trees such as the US a far more enticing option offering an exotic experience.

It cannot be understated that exotic vehicles offer far more value for your buck and offers a better gameplay experience. I wouldn’t be making such a complaint if the 2A4NL for example offered something unique to differ it from the 2A4s we have in-game.

Yeah C&P premiums are good.
The exotic and unique vehicles should be placed in the TT to inventice people to play them.

That’s the entire reason why i dont play Israël.
All those freaking T-55’s and M-60’s all over again.

Japan will be the same case with thailand.
They will just get all the C&P in the TT, requiring you to play the same vehicle over and over again - that is not fun.

No.

BeNeLux, Thailand, Finland, Taiwan and Hungary need some love.
We still need to see some actual indiginous stuff for these nations.

I think you misunderstood me, I was not advocating for C&P premiums which do not also resemble the domestic vehicles.

oh, oke

As mentioned a bit earlier today, if there was any meaningful updates to a report, the report itself would be updated with that.

Inital plans were always for the German and Hungarian versions. However feedback regarding desires to see other operators has already been passed on.

To be fair sometimes reports are forgotten to be updated, yes?

9J with 9L seeker (e.g AIM-9P-4 in war thunder)

Good to hear.
It doesn’t sound logical to me, if you have a model that can be put in multiple nations, then we dont add them to these nations in the first place? no matter if they need it or not.

Perhaps when they are fixed, but then they are normally present on the changelog. In general if a report remains open with no new comment or status, thats generally because there is not one to provide.

This is literally 90% of the reports that players send. The bug with the camouflage on the Canadian Leo 2 has not been fixed to this day, although my report has been hanging as confirmed for a long time…

Even on the Dutch D.XXI ?

Can ground team developers place more emphasis on fixing bug reports for vehicles that are outrageously still outstanding? The air teams have been very generous in implementing reports both bugs and suggestions across the board for all tech trees. But I would like to see that same love from the ground teams.

We all love to see more content but correcting historical inaccuracies for the current vehicles in-game can always stand to see more priority.
