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

only R-77M, AIM-120D, Meteor and such when they decide to model multipath accurately and with ECM and Larger maps

Are there any other things planned for Japan?
Getting just 2 boats from which 1 is a premium, doesn’t sound all that promosing.
And it’s super duper odd that the IJN Nagato is going to be a premium…

BTW, can someone explain why China can have an Abrams, but Thailand cannot get a VT4?

I’d give the Thai VT4 a 50/50 chance being in this update alongside the Taiwanese Abrams

Wellllll, I don’t know about you but ever think there’s something really wrong with the game.!
Is it that the Game really doesn’t like the allies maybe?? Funny how every match now seems to be completely 1 sided.!! USA - non pens, galore - T50s bouncing 104mm shells 3 times, side shots doing minimal damage.! Shooting a FLAK88 with 50cal repeatedly does nothing apparently now!!

Game is going from BAD to WORSE

Oh and now every match is 0.7+br uptiered, EVERY MATCH!

They say Russian bias applies… so what’s this called??

Most tech trees played - Russian and German - I wonder why??

Maybe the Devs will sort out the complete inbalance of matchmaking and BR disadvantages.!!

I mean every match since the latest patch - Russian German together AND this happens.!!

Boo hoo

Best Eagle

I guess we cant let the Russians lose.! First time USA and Russia same team! Coincidence much!

Gszabi doesn’t have all of the answers. The leaker does. And the leaker doesn’t have access to all of the info set in stone yet.

The leak list is preliminary, they usually don’t have everything in the first one.

After they put Mutsu in the tech tree, having Nagato be the premium was all but guaranteed.

Japan through Malaysia/Thailand.
Poland.
United Korea.

With the Malaysian and Polish ones being the most advanced.

IIR missiles like AIM-9X will come to all nations at one time rather than just the golden eagle, and I don’t think the game is ready for that just yet, so probably not.

IRIS-T, AIM-9X, ASRAAM, Python 5, PL-10, R-74, AAM-5 would all be nice to see

but the game is not ready for them, nor will be without some major air battle overhaul really, they have some extreme range and will be almost unflareable

(ASRAAM would be like a R-27ET, but practically unflareable and having 6x of them coming from a Typhoon, instead of 2x From a Flanker)

Its super frustrating. But not at all odd.
They want WW2 era ships as premiums, which rules out Kaga, Tosa, Akagi, Atago, Takao, Kii, and Owari. As none of those ships survived into WW2 as gunships.
They’re also trying to avoid end-of-line ships unless absolutely necessary. Hence Maryland, Nelson, Gneisenau, and whatever Russia got are their premiums instead of New Jersey, British Ship, Tirpitz, and Sovetsky Belorussiya. Also explains why France and Italy, who literally have no other options, are getting Vittorio Veneto and Cleme- JEAN BART?!! WHAT?

I think Gaijin will just add more aircraft with MAWS to the very top BR and be done with it and say the game is ready for IIR missiles.

Well, if they fix the FM and C5, it won’t be half bad. Won’t be eurofighter or ravioli tier, but it will definitely be competitive.

This is not the tread to complain about the current update, there’s plenty for that, this thread is about the next update

I mean then by that logic the Eurofighters are also nerfed missing their IRIST / ASRAAM and Meteor

That’s why I don’t like user made models and was upset when NovA29 started to model MB-326K, this plane is a must have for the regular tree, which is seeking for unique models. I was waiting for Aermacchi since Regia Aeronautica update in 2017, it’s so frustrating that despite I’m finally getting at least a single variant of MB-326, the most advanced one, it comes as a premium… Of course let’s remove all interesting stuff from the regular tree to premiums, BP, events and fill it with leased copypaste.

And what will be with other Aermacchi, especially variants of 326?

Spoiler

K variant was exported to multiple countries, why not to make an export variant premium instead, or at least they could give as regular version with different engines… 😔

its a small pod that can be mounted on the belly centerline pod, or the version where its stuffed into the nose of a fuel tank, but not built in, however have flown with both, i’ve seen it personally up at PDX watching the 123rd fighter squadron take off with the fuel tank version it also helps with communication with stealth aircraft from the older C airframes

it is truly a shame gaijin has decided to only give france a CTA-40 armed tank when the UK has so many options


Boxer CT-40

Patra LMMT

Ajax IFV

Ajax Blackjack

just to name the ones that would sit near 11.0 or above

F-15s do not use the combination Fuel tank/IRST, only the Super hornets do.

Spoiler

They use either Legion IRST

Or Sniper pod
