We know ARM is coming, hopefully next major, and whilst I would be interested in seeing a preview of ARM sooner rather than later, its ECM im most intrigued by and how they could implement it and what affect it could have. Gaijin has used the April Fools event to test such mecahnics in the past
it’d function the same as IRCCM, no? like the IRCCM on helis that scramble the ir seeker, or on tanks how it makes the missile hay-wire and loose control, it’d be a mix of that i assume
It might. But then it should also have a min effective range and then there is also EW if that is modeled too.
EW is just an umbrella term for EA, EP and ESM, we already have a variant of EW ingame, and its the IRCCM on tanks and helis to combat missiles and IR missiles, radar EA would be interesting to see how they work it, would it make the vehicle unlockable, or make its position be off by a few meters? or would it damage the radar or make guidance really hard
WT Mobile 's April Fools event seems like it will be a reworked version of 2015 's " March to Victory " event:
ST-1 is the KV-2 inspired walker from the original version of the event, and might come in it 's USSR/GER/USA variants again.
LBM Bulldog and MBM Trixter briefly appeared in WT 's files in the 2.7.0.55 CDK accidental release event ( 2.7.0.55 new - Album on Imgur ),
and(w/o the modular weapon stations seen in WT 's files) along w/ MBM Victor, were used in Enlisted 's 2023 " TITAN RISE " April Fools event. They’ve remained in the files there for usermission support
The one w/ the M41 Walker Bulldog turret is not the basis of the mech named " Bulldog ", which is actually derived from the M19 GMC. Which is not strictly relevant, but I wanted to make note of it.

isnt this like against TOS to share or sum with their new leak EULA/TOS changes
IIRC datamining is fine, but leaking stuff to rile everyone up isn’t. (Something alongthose lines anyway.)
this is leaking…
It’s from the datamines for WT Mobile. All that stuff is found easily by looking through updates being pushed.

Maybe Chinese naval tree this year? (I want this solely for a Qing dynasty flag)

That’d have to be a very specific vessel then, since the Qing ceased to exist before WW1 even started.
With where we’re at in naval I don’t think they would be the best choice, waiting until we get a bit further time wise we could see more unique vessels show up.
What are the guesses for the summer update?
It’s usually naval focussed, so maybe Submarines or something?
So what you guys thinking about April Fools this year? Any predictions? I would like to see SEAD event but I think it’s a bit too technical to be April Fools.
Something that 's happened a few times, but doesn’t seem to come up in discussing these, is that the maps the event mode takes place on comes back as a regular map later. Might happen this year too.
man a few years back we had inf as a april fools event, its gonna be SEAD/DEAD or ECM/EW focused as they said they wanna ad those before 5th gen in the 2nd half of this year, so april fools event will prob be that, and summer update might be that
I still think one of the big things for the summer update will be SEAD and maybe ECM along with it. past that maybe another sub-tree and maybe submarines. but I think SEAD in particular has a high chance of happening since afaik they said they would try to add it in the first half of the year and they did add a bunch of SEAD related modes to a few radars next patch.

Question; what’s the big deal about SEAD that makes so many people talk about it and look forward to it? I don’t seem to know much about it.
Isn’t it just… PVE’ing SAMs?

some people want it because it will supposedly help “balance” top tier SAMs or something. Honestly i am more interested in it for the possibility(albeit very slim) that they might add something interesting to ARB and air sim for the first time in like forever.
As it stand right now though i would be perfectly fine with it not coming because in reality its probably going to be poorly implemented and its going to make CAS at top tier even more of a nightmare to deal with and gaijin needs to fix top tier ground before adding something like ARMs
My personal hope (and a massive amount of copium) is that it will come with significant updates to the PvE side of ARB and especially ASB and its the reason why we havent seen a new Sim map in the better part of 4 years. This could include actually intergrating the objectives we saw with the deepstrike event into ASB, among other potentials.
From a GRB perspective, it will hopefully give some long overdue buffs to some of the weaker aircraft and a reason to use others. For example. I see 0 point ever bringing the Tornado GR4 to top tier, because its just worse than the Typhoon in every respect. Rippling off 9x ALARM might change that.
