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

Eurofighter EK is planned to get AGM-88E-2 and based upon everyone getting everything that might be enough, but there is a photo of ALARM mounted and marketing material for ALARM on the FGR4 as well. But it was officially retired from RAF service before full intergration was finished

Basically gunna be Gaijins discretion there, and given they wont even give us SAL Brimstone 2s… Im not holding my breath

or just giving the GR1/GR4 AGM-88s because “technical compatibility” to get out of adding ALARM

thats what i think is more likely
but honestly 75% of my predictions get proved wrong within a week, and 15% within a month or two

I honestly hope that they don’t add ARM for any of the already best CAS platforms like the Su-30SM/2, EFT, Rafale and F-15E/I.

Would be cool to see planes like the F/A-18A (late)/C (late)/D/E/F, F-16CM, Mirage 2000D, Tornados, Su-24 and maybe Su-34 (not sure about the last one) to get more of a role at top tier, instead of just being grind barriers/tree fillers.

The humble Fox Milan or Fox-25 (imagine fox with a 25mm Bushmaster, in a small turret)

I like events I can skip

su30sm2 is su35 but draggier and no maws

I love a Mig19 with a different name

Interesting for anybody interested. However it would be hard to balance around 10.0 with 9J missiles.

Please consider adding J-6C to the tech tree

And the community cycle continues.

Aren’t most events with non British vehicles a skip for you anyway?

Ground yes. Whats the point of grinding a ground event which I hate doing in the first place for a vehicle that will never get used. I will never grind another ground tree, and being a multi-vehicle gamemode, it seems pointless to me.

Naval, mostly. Like ground, being a multi-vehicle lineup, grinding for a tree im not going to grind just seems like a waste of time. I dont mind grinding naval that much, but its still a chore after 2 weeks. But an interesting Italian Cruiser I would grind as I am debating Italy bluewater at some point

Air being single vehicle lineups it doesnt matter what my intentions are or what nations ive got . As a result i have grinded a few non-British aircraft, like the F-14A IRIAF, Mirage 2KC-S4 and F-106. But its got to be something that is semi-interesting and ive got to not be busy, so I was gunna grab the F-16 and then got busy IRL so decided to skip it. Though I’ll be honest, I havent played them much yet, I tried to start stock grinded the Mirage 2K not that long ago, and 2 games in a row, the game lag slammed me into the ground into the first 30 seconds. I took that as a sign and decided to go on something else

I have 0 interest in the Mig-19, so why bother commiting 2 weeks to it

My only complaint would be that there’s now 7 Pakistani vehicles in game and not a single one is Tech Tree. I don’t hate this vehicle as an event (not completely unique, not completely copy and paste) but Pakistan is a subtree for China without any tech tree vehicles? 3 Prems, 2 Squadrons and (now) 2 events.

For the ships, they mostly copy paste an existing one.

For aircraft, it is interesting vehicles DRASTICALLY.

For tanks, it is again mid recycles.

F-16 was the most mid aircraft they ever gave (except the Yak-3 which was purely commemorative), and that was an F-16 how mid it can be

Day 1140 of waiting for Polish tech tree

Finland really is in a sad state. Probably up there with entirely split nations considering most players won’t have access to the large majority of Finnish vehicles this way.

Well even worse is stuff like the KV-1B would have been a better option since Sweden literally has 1 4.7 tank and it’s a SPAA but as Smin stated gaijin doesn’t want to devalue it from Germany even though it would’ve been better since it doesn’t overtier the lineup.

I fully expect the Stu 40 and it’s subsequent different models to be premium

Britain got same problem with India lol.

Lol Pakistan Mig lmao it’s nice to think Finland would get something

already in the game, its called the JF-17
and you can trace its design roots back to the Mig-21

Isn’t the JF-17 more F16 like though?
