I don’t think you guys read the Japanese WWII community.
Cough, cough, it’s been five years after the latest WWII TT plane… cough, cough

@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to bother you but I’m just wondering why do suggestions get locked after being passed to the devs? Wouldn’t it make sense for them to stay open so that people can continue to vote and talk about them without needing to create new threads for them?

Dev Blogs are an overview of a vehicle still in development. We are very clear about the information within them:
Please note that vehicle characteristics are still in development and may change before release.
Quite what that has to do regarding my answer with major announcements however I’m not sure.
yes and no
some statements seem empty when they turn 2 years old
Do you guys only add things based on popularity then? Like I said already, TOW HMMWV, and the LAV-25, are easily some of the most identifiable and iconic vehicles of the US military, why have these yet to be seen in game?
We have a few reasons for this. Typically the most popular suggestion topics could go on and on and round and round in circles for a very long time. At some stage, suggestions could be open too long to the point where it draws off topic, needless back and forth or other factors not required for any form of meaningful discussion. Leaving everything open will also keep attention on already passed topics and less views, traffic and interest on other newer or more niche topics. So its also to allow a constant healthy flow of suggestions through.
Passing is a form of archiving and preserving too. So once its passed, the topic is cleaned up to make it as clear as possible and documented in the appropriate area.
If people want to simply discuss a vehicle, that’s what the general forum sections are for.

Cause if EAP is allowed then PMC/private aircraft in general are allowed, and Gaijin has a universal rule of no privately owned aircraft.
Even if EAP wasn’t a private venture, 4x AIM-9Js, and a gun, its 5 minute fuel capacity would make it a rather bleak 11.0 jet.
Kikka and Yak-141 are not private ventures, and both were days to months away from their weapons being installed onto the prototypes themselves.
Kikka very much was not an unarmed demonstrator, let alone privately owned.
Plans can change. This would not be the first or last example of when plans have changed.
LAV-25A2 got closed off after being open for 3 months, 2 years ago. This is definitely problematic for the discussion of a vehicle.

I understand what you mean, but you could just create a post in Machinery of War Discussion or something
Not at all. Otherwise some of the lesser known vehicles would never get introduced. Of course we cant ignore the popular ones also, so there is a spread of both.
This argument can be made for many vehicles in many nations arsenals that we don’t yet also have in game. Sadly we cannot add everything all at once. Lots of options for vehicles remain possible for the future across the board.

If something was stated to be planned and then changed, can there be updates to reflect that the previous stated plans have changed?

Generally we aim to when we can. But a lot of news and answers are given all the time. Sadly its not always possible to update them all.
We try to make it clear that everything is always subject to change.

yes, but still would be nice to adress the fact or changes to the plans and not just leave the playerbase waiting. Hell another example would be the hugely controversial turret baskets
The year is over, only leopards and abrams got them and they are a massive nerf to the vehicles.
In the meantime T-series APU systems got removed afterwards as a model, cause the system is not implemented yet for all vehicles.
At this point it would be better to remove leo and abrams turret basket until the ones for other vehicles are ready.
It realy makes gajin seem inconsequential, if they cant focus on such aspects that hugely affect gameplay and seem to forget them mid development

Yeah, I’m sure that’s why Russia got the BMPT, but why does this argument stop, what is being said, from happening? The LAV-25 and TOW HMMWV would fill gaps that are currently missing in the US TT (which was a big point of 2025’s additions) on top of being very iconic pieces of the US military. It’s not like it’s just getting added because it’s popular, it would genuinely fill a couple missing roles.
It doesn’t “stop” anything. We have countless more vehicles possible to add to the game. Nobody has said these vehicles or others like them or similar to them in class cant or wont come.
Unfortunately we cannot give spesific answers as to why each and every individual vehicle has not yet come to the game. As you can imagine, for starters, we would be here all day with post after post asking why X or Y has not yet come. On top of that, as I mentioned, we add a wide spanning range of vehicles of different types, roles and purposes across the whole game.
We also still have “iconic” additions at any stage. Like the P-47 Razerback for example or B-26, which came much later in the games development.

We have had a bug report for RWRs not working properly in sim(i play both modes RB & SIM n can confirm these issues myself) but after certain numbered deaths, RWRs stop pinging from fox3 launched missiles.
This is issue has been there over a year however at the time the issue was simply rare and fixed by exiting the sim lobby and joining another and leaving that and rejoining the original. However now it has be come super common and especially amongst certain eurocanards like the rafale and eurofighter(no idea why) but oh well.
Can you get devs to look at this urgently, i can assure the numbers on those bug reports kinda point out alot of the player base is facing that issue.
The old bug report got rejected because of lack info, all we can say is you have to play the game (sim) lol if you want to experience it. It is not my bug report but from mustang, who is quite popular amongst the community and i mean his live streams can show the certain issues faced as well.
