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

Where did you hear this from?

Its from a different vehicle game, essentially people kept asking and the devs basically admitted every time they asked to use them they were turned down. Gaijin is a much larger studio so it could be different.

ZA is a failure. So all sub-trees are failures.

“Churchill with wheels”(or brick), is how I describe my experience with the ZA vehicles I’ve played. AKA the worse of the UK made worse.

People tell me to use its SPAA at 5.3, it took no time at all to go back to the Skink. No mobility, no armor, no ammo and a blind spot so big, you couldn’t even hit the moon crashing down on earth, it’s free CAS food.

It’s an unneeded, unfitting sub-tree that only looks good because it’s unique. It’s why the UK got India after all one nation with trouble relationship is fine, it’s when Gaijin thinks the can get away with all poor sub-tree additions.

I know armoured warfare has some rosomak variants so it should be possible

Have you considered maybe they just dont fit your playstyle?

Ill admit i find some vehicles absolutely abysmal but some people do great in them. I could have a better KD on average and do worse in some tanks, we all have playstyles so perhaps you’re just not finding vehicles that fit you.

Trust me that is the most real thing with warthunder is that some good vehicles are just not good with some people and vice versa.

Something being physically unable to fit on an aircraft and thus never done in real life as far as all evidence shows isn’t exactly what I would call codswallop.

Again, we welcome evidence of a gunpod on these aircraft, but unfortunately sometimes things just are not possible in a practical sense.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work either. Some nations imported vehicles were simply “better” than the natios producer. Specifically because they made those models for export and either didnt use it themselves or had retired it by that point.

Thats also removing one of key unique things about actually unique or different export models that those nations get, thus negatively impacting some sub trees or nations entirely. On top of as you said, being potentially entirely fictional outcomes in some cases.

So whilst its a valid opinion / suggestion, its Unfortunately not a compromise with wide appeal.

Morning Smin, just wake up?

There could still be room for fractional improvements present within war thunder where a group of vehicles would otherwise be lacking (eg LDIRCM pods for AH-64E family outside of the US operated one), which would go a long way in balancing out heli combat at the upper echelons, at the cost of stringest additions (Dutch LDIRCM AMASE pods instead of CIRCM for example)

Chances of teaser are slim but never zero

It’s like 99% going to be on thursday bro

Never 0🙏🏻

Have faith in the 1%

believing in the extraordinarily Unlikely is closer to madness rhan Faith

What are we hoping for todays dovbleg? Boat? ploon? another random premium vehicle?

Gnat or Gannet or Type VII

how realistic is this? not at all

Hopefully a tank, but wouldn’t be surprised with a boat

I completely understand why people dislike copy paste sub trees, as it makes trees less unique. However with the grind being as brutal as it is, especially for tanks, I think the more diversity the trees can have, the better. Not everyone has the time or the will power to grind all the trees.

The only issue I have with all the sub tree additions, especially at top tier is the big 3 ironically get the short end of the stick because they export their equipment all over the world, and don’t typically import equipment, leaving them with less diversity. For example for MBTs at top rank, the US only has Abrams, Germany only has Leopards.

Right now with Thailand, and the possible future additions of Indonesian, and Malaysian ground, Japan for example could potentially have the Type 90, Type 10, Oplot-T, VT-4, PT-91M, and Leopard 2RI. WAY more variety than the Big 3.

At the cost of less consistency, which imo is a good tradeoff.

A 6 vehicle lineup with 2-4 of those being unique MBTs with different playstyles is far more enjoyable to play than a nation with a very similar tank going from 10.0->12.7 (eg. Sweden, Germany, USA), at the cost of those unique MBTs having different drawbacks vs 1 type of MBT with the same weaknesses to learn.

They even directly said it would be added soon, “shortly after” more Indonesian additions specifically.

My guess is we’ll see an update with some Indonesian ground vehicles, then Malaysian aircraft the update after.
