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

Yeah but the difference is the VT4 is Thailand’s primary main battle tank. It’s one thing if it was just a few they owned but it’s the most numerous main tank. Thailand is the sub-tree of Japan and the VT4 plays a key component in helping bolster lineups since it would be at the same BR of the BM Oplot-T.

As this is the R&R thread (saying this due to mods), we could expect it to come eventually in the next update or so as it was leaked previously.

Edit: For anyone. Has there been any input/comments from leakers if the vehicle is still coming at all?

the problem isn’t the addition itself. its them saying that its presence in the files doesn’t mean its coming, but for “internal testing”. kinda a lame excuse if you ask me.

While you’re here Smin, regarding the Hawk 200 RDA, have the devs considered allowing the Skyflashes on the outer pylons? I don’t mean getting four Skyflashes, I just mean being able to run two Skyflashes & two drop tanks (and the wing tip sidewinders)

Like how this mock up is configured

Just in the files. its clear that it was meant to be added but drama from a certain group meant gaijin decided to delay it at minimum.

Not like it’s a hard thing to do, copy and paste the model and then rename it.

Trophy as in Battle Trophy, like the crates.

EG this CC Trophy, the one that leaked the Indonesian AH-64E. And I think old events had the _trophy tag? not 100% sure on that

But I do reckon they were thinking about adding it.
And VT-4 I’m pretty sure was never confirmed nor denied.

Correct, all CMs have said is that considerations will be done carefully. Not that it will or won’t be added.

My theory is that they will add the M1A2T and VT-4 (TH) at the same time as an attempt to defuse the argument

Or double the outrage…

I doubt the VT-4 is for internal testing. It was likely ordered as slight variation alongside the Norinco VT-4 to save costs, but the addition was delayed because the timing around V-J day was so bad. Now it’s sitting in the files to either be eventually removed or added, just like many other models have in the past.

I think “Internal Testing” was only the US T-90

507

Throw the US T-90A in there, lets do all the controversies at once.

Doubt it. Most M1A2T outrage was because people assumed TH VT-4 was cancelled by Chinese outrage. VT-4’s outrage was mostly bad timing.

US might just be the internal testing ground nation. There is an American AMX-13/75 and AMX-13/90 in the files. I think it was part of an old event though, but it has no unique event tag (like _event, _race, _football, etc.)

Yep, I think both were from World War Mode events where they were representing Israeli AMX-13s.

Found it!

ah ;-;

511

At the moment its not under active consideration, but a suggestion report can certainly be made.
