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

Hm what i find funny is that Japan is the only nation with a Branch (Helicopters) without a single premium now XD
i really dont get it as to why they removed the Kisarazu, it was a solid Chopper for 9.7.
What do you guys think will replace it in the future?

I would put my money on a Indonesian AH-64E (“early”) without Radar, LDIRCM etc. on 11.7 like the other AH-64Ds.

let me just wishlist something rq.
can we for the love of god just finally fix the alt tab crash that has been in this game for ages now

I asked for a review of 2025 on how many bugs that are a year+ old were fixed and was met with nothing, I think you’ll find yourself in the same boat unfortunately.

Hopefully either:

MV-22B

Unsure if Japan has the armaments for them but since the US also used the MV-22B and has mounted weapons to it then it should be in the same boat as LDIRCM on all the non-US AH-64E’s.

OH-1

UH-1J

Malaysian AW149

Thailand AH-6i

But most likely:

AH-1S Kisarazu (but back as a GE premium in 2 months time)

Or (like you said)

Indonesian AH-64E "Early"

That cant be since it was already a GE premium and not a pack.

The first 3 of you list arent Premium worthy in my opinion.
The MV-22B is very unlikely (but i wouldnt say no to the arment variant america operates), the OH-1 would do a perfect SQV (i beg you snail) and the UH-1J could be only a sidegrade to the UH-1.
the AW149 doesnt have any armament in malasian service but who knows how gaijin could bend the rules again and the AH-6i seem to be to low in BR to become a premium since they really like 11.7 apaches when possible.

Ah must have misremembered it, thought it was still a pack premium. Probably still going to be added back though, they’ll do a FOMO sale for it then decide to bring it back for good.

Yeah would preferably be a squadron vehicle but knowing Gaijin it would be premium.

Which is why I thought it could be premium.

Yeah not in Malaysian service but we have seen numerous times that vehicle armament/equipment doesn’t need to be in service with said nation, just that it’s technically capable.

True but still possible. A premium Little Bird would definitely sell so Gaijin might do that.

Its very unlikely that the OH-1 becomes a Premiums since it would be utterly useless with only 4 AA Missiles and if they feel like it a Scout options.
Players want to kill Tanks and not wait for the occasionally helicopter or air target.

i agree on this one, it will probably come around once a year on some special ocassion.

i dont think they are gonna wait to long (mayby 1-2 updates) to introduce a new Prem since japans top tier is absolutly goated RN and players need a “good” premium helicopter to grind the AH-64E for the top tier lineup.
lets wait and see.

While I am enjoying the MiG-29N I really dont undertsand how the Su-30 prems are the same br lmao

Another project to pull more resources from the core of the game and put them into a game mode which will never be as popular as…. the core of the game.

It’s a quiet time while we wait for more news, so here’s my fake leak list to infuriate you:

Edit: There’s a few themes woven into this list, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Some of them are unlikely additions but most of them are pretty grounded and wouldn’t be unreasonable to see in the near future :)

ive thought about it a bit and another reason to start with the Korean War for infantry is the more widespread introduction of body armor (flak jackets) in that era.
