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

In the past, I didn’t mind the element of surprise when I knew that every update was likely to have something I could look forward to.

Thing is, the element of surprise only pays off if you eventually get something you were looking forward to.

If I knew that every or most updates were likely to have something for me, I’d enjoy the element of surprise. But after lots of very long periods between updates and dev blog seasons hyping myself up, only to be repeatedly disappointed, I’ve grown to find these waits that almost never pay off tedious.

What’s it even about? Just moving more stuff around? Does that really require a dev blog?

Second half of 2026 at the earliest. It was a minimum, not a deadline.

Yes…that’s why if this update has multiple end of the line 4.5 Gens…it lends high certainty that Christmas will be 5th Gen…if not, probably 4.5s for Christmas

If Gaijin can optimize the Japanese 10.7 lineup in the next two or three updates and add some useful vehicles, like Indonesia’s Leopard 2 and some light armored cars, then the sales of HAWK 209 will definitely go up.

Holy cope dude. If you like the element of suprise so much, leave or mute the snail mine server and don’t come to a thread that will share, discuss and overanalyze every little bit of info related to the next update.

You want to ban certain datamines because they “spoil your suprise”, but you don’t want to do anything on your end to prevent the same. Awfully convenient.

I dont think his point is really that deep, its just nicer to see a cool vehicle for the first time in a trailer than it is to see it in a plain text list

I mean imagine wanting to come into spaces like this and then get surprised that spaces like this exist and blames the people doing it that they ruined the surprise lol

like im all for datamining and rumours and stuff but i feel like theres no actual contest in regards to which is better for the arbitrary metric of hype or whatever

Not necessarily, could be ground or naval focused or just not top tier

Which could have been prevented by simply not going to high spoiler risk places.

It’s like going to a forum that loves discussing/analyzing movies while you are still waiting to see a certain movie.

It’s almost exactly like the bike fall self sabotage meme.

Are you referencing a super old datamine before Gaijin warned against certain things being datamined?

oh wait mb I didnt realise that was the guy who asked smin why datamining wasnt banned

Well more like going into a Zoo knowing your scared of monkey and then play victim because you saw one and had a panic attack which is somehow the staff fault lol
