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

If China were to receive a sub-tree then Pakistan would be the most sensible.

Thailand nowadays has more basis being in China, sure, but Pakistan more so.
Additionally, Hungary is in the Italian tree because they were allies in WW2. It’s poor reasoning, yes, but it is what happened and can be applied to Thailand as a Japanese sub-tree.

Technically they already own several, they have just yet to be deployed to the island and Remain in my home country, but you could make the same argument as the Japanese Tiger, which never left Germany but was still technically owned by Japan. But yeah there are a couple vehicles in Taiwan that interest me as a Chinese tech tree enjoy, particular the M1, as we’ve basically hit the peak of PLA MBT’S

I mean NATO but thats still shorter than when they were foes(1915-1939, 1948-1990)

Also the AH-64E, the Z-10 is scary to enemy planes but its cas attributes are rather meh.

They share the NATO alliance, but it wasn’t the justification Gaijin gave

A lot of countries are in NATO, so it would be less favorable to use as an argument as well.
How about a leopard 2a7 since Germany is in NATO as well? Nah
Although, I was advocating for Spain. It had good vehicles, and shared a more significant culture connections, as well as politically relevant dating as back as the civil war.

Same reasons why I hate large alliance trees as concepts such as Warsaw Pact or Arab League

The only exception I’d make is for Latin America, because in no other way could they really be represented on a larger scale.
ABC concept exists too, which I prefer, but the point stands.

I’m really hoping we can get later Z-10’s. They should be able to to receive CM-502 F&F missiles and more advanced avionics and engines. Hell Pakistan is already buying the Z-10ME I believe, which is more advanced than the version we have in game

cough benelux cough

Idk about what the english forums concensus are, but unfortumatly I dont think gaijin would do that.
At least it was believed that gaijin mistreats China, but also making cash grabs ever so often to milk Chinese players.

That I am fine with because it’s such a small scale.
Additionally, the nations shared positions in relevant history for the game as well as alliances (failed neutrality in WW2, founders of EUs predecessor, NATO, certain shared structures, Benelux alliance obviously)

He got the boot on may 22 and yeah China was much better then on. The consensus was more like gaijin thinks China shouldnt be as strong as Russia.

I mean compared to concepts like the “Commonwealth” or “ASEAN” which are everyone’s tech mixed together they are much better.

Because over the full time period of the game they have been aligned so it’s not as big of a problem as all their equipment is western in nature.

I would strongly disagree with that Commonwealth and ASAEN are so western.

I talking about the Benelux with the last part. Trying to explain how it’s better grounded then my two examples that have tech from all over.

I don’t see them making a tutorial for ARH before the new toys are introduced. Don’t forget the Gripen C is also confirmed for this update for Sweden, if I can recall correctly.
This all leads me to believe fox 3 is next update.

thats such an awsome vehicle. Would it be as mobile as the vilkas?

slightly less, it has a better engine, but the turret of course weights a bit more as well
