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

from what I’ve read, 40 will be with the German one and the rest with the Italian one

A slightly more realistic version of my definitely fake leak list while we wait for the CM post next week:

4th major 2025 fake leak list 2-2

I wanted to add premium battleships for Italy and France but remembered that there are essentially no options left for them!

Could chuck in the bomber mosquito that was heavily hinted at

but Italy does not yet have the other two littorios

The premium battleships aren’t that high in BR/rank yet

Being an 8.0/8.3 ship. Its probably fine as its not 9.7 like the Soyuz

But would be wierd to get a premium version of the highest BR ship available in that TT

Yeah that’s why I think there are no options left. They’re not going to add a rank 7 vehicle at rank 6, at least not yet.

Obvs there are more options for the tree in the future but there’s no way Gaijin will make that jump in the next update

Thinking about it, with LAV-I being a retroactive(I think that’s the word) name, the Cougar would likely be under its first name: AVGP.

So, to recap, for Italy, the land branch is blocked,
the air branch is blocked, and
the naval branch is blocked.
So, should we hope for the Hungarian or Romanian branch?

I wouldn’t say the naval branch is blocked. It just won’t get the Littorios as a premium until other nations are getting premium rank 7 battleships. And because there are quite a few Littorios, Italy is bound to get some of them as tech tree, squadron, or event vehicles too.

The addition of submarines will also provide new ways for the tree to advance too.

Or the T-34-85 with the stab

Don’t forget

well to be fair it could be considered a rumor since B66 was just added potentionally meaning bombers are back on the menu which is good this one seems the most logical next one

I feel like it would be more likely to see something Soviet then, since US and USSR have the most bombers respectively and the US just got a bomber

they probably do both honestly as the soviets already have the counter to B66 which is that yak 28 i think was its name B47 would be added with the russian Tu16 and the chinese version of the TU-16

Lowkey i know what you mean. But it’s phrased like a I want. that’s why I posted the above
