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

I’ve been saying they absolutely wasted the “Fast and Dangerous” title on the R400 event. So many wheeled vehicles/fast tracked vehicles with all sorts of armaments that could have been added in an update called “Fast and Dangerous”. Now they have to risk the copyright lawsuit and call it “Hot Wheels”.

It’s advertised for Su-30MK models, but that’s about it. That said, still more proof than the MKI derivatives like the SM/SM2/MKM are, which Gaijin insists to keep.

Also China needs better CAS, and this would be the exact same situation as the Su-30MKM which also filled a CAS gap with a weapon newer than it that was never used by Malaysia.

yeah, its similar dog water reasoning with the underperforming r-73 max lateral g load. Plenty of primary sources pinning it at 60gs, and even declassified uk evaluations putting the single plane lateral acceleration at 45gs, yet in game it is only 40gs cause why not, then reports on it are sitting on accepted for 2 years

at least for the su-30mk variant that the chinese air force got doesn’t list kh38 in it for its weapons (KNAPPO su-30mk, not the irkuk one)

Yeah, neither do the SM/SM2 or MKM. It’s very questionable reasoning no matter what, but at least the MK model is listed as platform for it.

Personally I think Gaijin will probably want more nations to get it, so I’d expect to see an Su-30MKI for India and Su-30MK2 for China with it sometime next year.

they wasted the paintball theme too, there’s a APC conversion with Fox turrets which is used for tank vs tank paintball in the UK, but no, T-72 instead lmao

Actual paintball tank

i think the combo of the boxer and ajax is pretty fun lol

The T-72 event overall is a waste, but I guess Gaijin thinks the USSR/Soviet TT deserves to get three event vehicles in a row

5th gen coming in 2026 would turn this game into something more arcadey than WoWP.

The game is 1% ready for the next gen. Would be as stupid as the Swiss being a sub tree

New battle pass in a couple days as well, lord only knows what will come from that….

tank paintball should be an event icl

copy paste slop, or worthless additions, take your pick

The game wasn’t ready for 4th gen either

Gaijin has been skipping working on important features and mechanics for way too long and I’ve got a feeling that they won’t be working on those features and mechanics anytime soon

They just cannot be bothered to rework ARB to accomodate proper 4th gen (or 5th gen) gameplay

Spoiler

and instead of putting additional resources into doing that necessary work, they decided to hire people to work on infantry

Dunno, the snowball event kind of was tank paintball and it sucked dog eggs

I just looked at the wikis list of IL-2 variants and I was not prepared for the amount of seemingly identical IL-2s

With any luck it’ll be something with goofy HESH

Wouldn’t it be easier to leave only one nation, the USSR?

No because if you give only for 1 nation, someone will come and start screaming baised.

Solution is simple, limit the kh38 to only su34 and su25sm3 and mkm
