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

How would they make it good?

Seriously how lol? Terrible launch angle, massive size, radar is just a HE magnet and worse than the Elde. Same missile limit as the Elde.

Only advantage is it might be more mobile

It’s a useless addition that they’ll add before the Elde so you have to grind another 400k rp for

Spyder is far from being Elde status lol. It’s definitely a bad 12.7 but it’s not Elde trash

that’s what i hope when i say “make it good” yet it’s just hopium that goes in the bucket

really wanna know who in gaijin HQ thought it is a good idea to add another mid AA to a nation who has already 3 rank 8 AAs…

When the time comes, we will the have full info for everyone :)

There is no hope, anyone with an ounce on sense will know if it’s going to Sweden it will be left to rot.

It’s the same with 90% of SPAA below it which are terrible at SPAA and better at being TDs. Unfortunately Sweden doesn’t get actual additions needed for SPAA.

Gaijin will go out of their way to make the NOMADS worthless and none of us want the NOMADS with how compressed the game is.

I fully expect gaijin to not folder it because they literally don’t care

i know already it is how you said, but i want to have 0.1% of hope still :')

absolutely. now with derby-er even more, but still between a nation with 3 rank 8 AAs and a nation with 1 AA in rank 8, a person with more then 2 neurons would know who to give it

No, I would honestly rather resources be spent on things that might fix gaps like a Danish Spitfire with a later Merlin engine so Sweden has a 5.x aircraft or literally any number of low and mid tier SPAA that actually are good SPAA and not just tank destroyers

Literally of all the swedish SPAA this is how you play them
PVKV fm/42 TD
PBV 301 TD
Lvtdgb m/40 TD
L-62 Anti TD
LVKV 42 TD
U-SH 204 GK (skip it cause it’s trash at both)
ZSU-57-2 TD
Veak 40 TD
Leo Marksman TD
Lvrbv 701 (skip it, it’s the weakest 9.7 SPAA)
LVKV 9040C TD
Asrad SPAA
Ito 90M useless at 12.0
Elde 98 worthless at 12.0
NASAMS 3 mediocre but somewhat usable

But they already did that in Update 2.9 “Direct Hit”

we are on the same side btw i agree this nomads is a waste of resources, it’s gaijin we are talking about so :)

also i’m curious if they will folder the elde to the ITO90 or put the nomads in folder with Elde

Yeah except Sweden got the Elde when Israel got the spyder. They shouldn’t even be near each other. Then we got NASAMS which gave us our only usable SPAA we also had terrible CAP fighters until the Gripen E.

Now we are getting Nomads which is just the Elde but worse? I’d agree that 3 rank 8 SPAA is good if all 3 actually had a uses unfortunately only one of those 3 is actually worth playing

Elde is likely going to be put behind the NOMADS because gaijin thinks it’s better when somehow they literally added a worse Elde. It’s only being placed like that just to give us another 400k rp middle finger, this is just like air all over again except this time it’s not a single modification difference now it’s just a worse chassis
They also won’t folder end of the line or new vehicles. This is why the Hornets were left apart despite 1 literally being the worst 14.0 in game and yet still pulling a higher KD than the US Late model

as i thought yeah

I think it needs another update :)
And they need to add the G4M2 to the game too :)

Current life time stats for the 14.0 hornets this is definitely sad to see LMAO
AF/A-18A Late(AU): 0.98
F/A-18C Late (US): 0.85
F/A-18D Late (Thai): 0.78
F/A-18C Late (Switzerland): 0.72
F-18C (FIN): 0.90

Maybe if we ever get decomp we might see them pull an average KD above 1.0

i am a modern jet enjoyer too, you don’t understand what i am saying , i am saying it will be 10x more difficult to drop all kinds of nukes, except if they bring nukes that are cruise missiles

Since it will be higher BRs and more nations will there be more ARM added?

Some potentially relevant connections to the CM No.11:

The higher BR Nuclear Escalation test(s) might employ some of the things that were in the files unused during the first one: the B83 nuclear bomb, Kh-55 ALCM, alternate versions of the Kh-25/27 and Kh-58U ARM 's, and the " different ground targets " may be in reference to the as-yet-unused BGM-109G, RM-70, and the two Iskander launchers.

The Rank III event boat for France might be one of the ones which were seen in the files, Elan or Commandante Duboc. The one from that class already ingame, Commandante Domine, is already on the lower BR range for it 's research Rank.

The british tank to follow is almost certainly one of the unused variant Scimitar 's which were in the files last winter. And the " WW1 era Soviet ship " might be the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya, which has been in the files.

Since Jean Bart is being added now, it 's possible that Vittorio Veneto - which was seen in the files at the same time JB first appeared - might also be added this update.

EDIT: forgot to mention, the high-altitude British aircraft could be either the Spitfire HF Mk.VII or one of the two Westland Welkin variants, which appeared in the 2.7.0.55 accidental CDK release.

Ok so looking through the Community Update and that possible leak here’s what I think is coming.

Next Update

🇺🇸 F-101A Voodoo (Magic aircraft that can communicate with spirits, A model is the only one with guns afaik.)
🇺🇸 North Carolina
🇷🇺 Chervona Ukraina
🇬🇧 Washington B.1
🇬🇧 Welkin Mk.1 (British aircraft that loves high altitude, has been in the files before)
🇯🇵 / 🇮🇩 Leopard 2RI
🇯🇵 / 🇮🇩 More Indonesian Ground Vehicles
🇮🇹 M-346 (From MFD picture)
🇫🇷 Jean Bart
🇸🇪 / 🇳🇴 NOMADS

Also Next Update if the Leak is Real

🇺🇸 F-14D Pack
🇩🇪 / 🇦🇷 IA 58A Pucara Pack
🇩🇪 PUMA VJTF Pack
🇷🇺 / 🇸🇮 J-22M1A Pack (Could go to Italy but I think Russia is most likely)
🇫🇷 / 🇳🇱 F-16AM Pack
🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 / 🇬🇷 or 🇮🇹 M60A1 RISE (P) Pack (I’m not entirely sure which nations used this variant and so I put down all the options I could think of.)

Future Events

🇫🇷 Rank III French Boat
🇬🇧 British Plane maybe with floats (Floatplane Spitfire? S.R./A.1 would be neat also.)
🇬🇧 Another Scimitar variant, there’s a lot in the files so it could be LEP or BGTI or Mk.II a Sabre.
🇷🇺 WW1 Soviet Ship

I believe both the Pucara and J-22 in the possible leak are a part of the revenue sharing program. So that would cover the two planes mentioned in the Community update. Otherwise with the Indonesian vehicles I wouldn’t expect a lot of unique stuff other than the Leopard 2RI. Maybe the PT-76(M) with some copy paste vehicles.

Very unlikely much more of a chance for puma prototype
