Not yet but in .91. Shrikes were added a couple of days ago but shortly removed again after. Let’s see if this happens again

Oh nah, I checked each month since june 26 till feb 25 and people still play it more than turm. Unless noob influx is THAT huge

The British pack was themed around the Firefly and the general overlord theme. The Centurions were considered, but really outside of the scope of what the initial packs were aimed around. That being Rank III packs based on a BR line-up around the main WW2 BRs. A tanks objective “success” in real life is not a factor for the packs.

For Germany, the Tiger was the clear uncontested choice from every angle. With the Firefly being the main focus of the British pack, the Avenger was a suitable second vehicle for a well rounded pack alongside the Crusader AA.

As we mentioned before, we don’t rule out the possibility of higher BR/ Rank packs in the future. But that was not the point nor the focus of the first 3.

Is there any possibility we could see the F15EX in the near future?

Maybe.

it would be nice having an AESA vehicle in the US tree but I have a slight suspicion that Gaijin is waiting for a comparable or “better” russian thing before adding it.

Nah, not in the next 20 Years, because everytime people mentioned that plane it will be pushed back by 1 Major Patch
:3

You already have 2 aesa planes.

And no, russia is not a excuse to not add it.

Even so. Current plane are better than the Ex

Indeed. Well, Panther D, at least, is less user friendly because of the 0.017º/s turret rotation speed. The better Panthers are more comfortable; however, like Tiger E, they are of a higher BR, which would find them in a far less comfortable matchmaking. 5.7 is probably one of the last WW2 BRs not to be creeped with too much Cold War stuff. At 6.0, facing 7.0s can be pretty frustrating already.

In my opinion, the Two Fronts pack is one of the very best articles in the Gaijin store, quality and price wise both, and I got it myself the moment it was announced despite having all of Germany grinded just to play the Tigers, despite being primarily a Top Tier player, hahah.

would be cool to see that in the future, however 7.7 is full enough for britain.

maybe those Scimitars still in the files?

The Firefly is the only vehicle in the pack that participated in Overlord, neither the Avenger or Crusader AA Mk II took part.

The Centurions are at the same BR as the American pack (6.0), and the pack could have just been placed at Rank III while the tech tree Centurion remained at rank IV? It is not unusual for premiums and tech tree vehicles to be different ranks, again, to use the American pack as an example, the Skink is a rank IV vehicle in the tech tree while being moved down to rank III to fit in the pack.

Obviously this is all water under the bridge now, but its just yet another example of a lack of thought being put into British additions.
