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

Uh, In the future I want to see another modern 3rd generation fighter aircraft with active radar homing MRAAM from 6 countries equivalent Shenyang J-8F with MRAAM PL-12 or better

BM Oplot-T, VT-4, Stingray, various IFVs, new SAM options and Jets like F-16A OCU2, T-50TH, Alpha Jet TH, A-37, F-5TH and a lot more.

btw still waiting on the response of your horrible aim 9l(i) take

The question is: Will Japan get those vehicles, or will they get some C&P T-72 tanks with a way to over-br’t SAM option

woah don’t be mean to that guy he is definitely using a translator it might be a misunderstanding

fair enough i guess

We all know Gaijin will take the lazy option first.

Of course, that goes without saying.

I think there’s more alternatives for potential future trees tho, mainly the Turkish upgraded leopards and this also works for Chilean mods if you ask me.

Ofc things such as the Dutch modifications are insignificant, but I think there’s probably more leeway than you’d think.

“AFV Anti Aircraft” and “R600 Anti Aircraft” don’t exist, leaving no new SAM additions with Thailand

Everything else is right.

ok yeah, forgot the turkish and greek era leopards those are a bit of a fever dream for germans
And looked in the chilean mod, the difference you name is the multi spectral layer, there is no additional armor kit or anything. It is questionable if gajin implements the effect and is essentialy only a skin

Yeah but now consider things like Leopard 2SG (basically a better Leopard 2A7V with 2A4’s optics weakspot), IFVs, SPHs, good SPAAs and most importantly strong and fitting additions for top tier Air Battles.

Thailand subtree gets added

Japan gets a TIFCS M60, a TTS M60, a regular M60, M48, M113A1 (TOW) and a token unique addition FV101 (Britain not included, it’s going to be the next battlepass vehicle)

Subtree forever forgotten, new additions never ever

Seems realistic

Considering how little actual Japanese things are left (excluding naval) I think it wouldn’t take long for Gaijin to model the more diverse stuff.

Considering how unique Japan generally is I don’t think it’d really be an issue to have some copy paste, it’s practically already compensated for

To my knowledge they also had additional armor and new engines, at least for a certain variant.

i think you are over expecting the 2SG, its essentialy the same armor kit as on the 2Pl, from the revolution family

That’s for the turret yes but hull armor would be at least on pair with 2A7V (and it’s not like 2PL’s turret is badly armored)

there is a different between on pair and better xD
you said

thats the main problem.
Germanys leopards 2a4 were upgraded to 2a7v lvl of armor as well sooo yeah

Besides that seems like there is no sources for SG hull armor lvl

im waiting for south Africa to replace its tanks
Guess what they would get
the won’t they can’t afford it

Undeniably these vehicles are strong. But I disagree with any subtrees of Japan in eastasia except for Thailand.
The reason is more on politics and history:

Sook Ching - Wikipedia
Alexandra Hospital massacre

These may indeed significantly strengthen midtier and toptier Japan, but would cause massive issues in the gaming community. Same for Vietnam, the Phillipines and Korea.
And even politics aside, there are worries that the identity of Japan would be challenged, although in the case of Japan not so, the type 10s are still really strong and fun to play with.
