Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I guess this means that the Skink, Firefly, and M-51 all belong to the US then /s.

I’m being sarcastic, but there are some US mains who genuinely think that way and it’s pathetic

Honestly I think the F/A-18A could have been added at least 1 or 2 updated ago. No AMRAAMs, fairly slow acceleration and top-speed.
Yes, it can carry a lot of missiles and has good slow speed performance but only Sparrows and slow speed dogfighting performance hasn’t really been relevant at top tier in a while.

The thing is, the stuff that I would like to see are unlikely to be added, meaning I am bound to be disappointed.

I’ve got a long list of vehicles, changes and fixes I’d like to see, I just don’t see any of that happening anytime soon (or at all in some cases)

Getting nothing at least means that it cannot be something that shouldn’t be added.

Two have been leaked already, being the CTWV ICV and RCV variant.

  • They have been hinted at in the riddle, being the warrior siblings (both variants) from the east (Japan) who watched their cousin (MAV) lose to the Finns (Patria).
  • The Baidu leak had a CTWV sized blank with JP behind it in the ground section.
  • The current leak page has two CTWV (RCV)/(ICV) sized blanks as well because “they were told to not reveal them yet”, likely by the Baidu leaker who I understand had some contact with them.

No need to be so pessimistic, this update will have at least 2 ground additions, there is a confirmed subtree in the works, we now have ARH mechanics so Gaijin can get to work on the Type 81 (C) ARH missiles and F-2 might also come any update now considering the initial variant would be SARH/IR only.

Japan has a pretty good time ahead.

I think its more likely they got it because we will never see the Emil, and the KV-1B is forever going to be on germany. It was also likely they had already planned for the KV-1A to be a prem so again the kungs tiger for me feels like their way of replacing the KV-1B.

Still doesnt make up for the fact that it shouldve been the KV-1B and not the Kungstiger but i dont make gaijins problems, i simply call them out.

I don’t think that’ll be an issue honestly.

The subtree will be some combination of SEA nations. Assuming Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand as likely and resonable options we get:

  • Indonesia; Most Russian stuff of the bunch since they had their red phase, however with other nations in the subtree they can keep those to a minimum and add only those that get at least some unique Indonesian twist to them like their PT-76M with 90mm cannon or even just their domestic bombs on their Sukhois. Their domestic developments also far outweigh anything Russian.
  • Malaysia; Russian vehicles here are kept to a minimum, with really only their Su-30MKM and MiG-29N being Russian. Both of these are unique variants, though the MiG-29N only adds a aerial refuelling from what I understand. They did trial T-90S, but why add that when they adopted the more unique PT-91M and even trialled a variant of the Oplot that is still far more interesting and adds more Ukrainian variants to the game.
  • Singapore has Igla launchers on a heavily modernized M113, that’s the most Russian they’ll get.
  • Thailand has Ukrainian BTR-3s and the Oplot-T, neither of which we will ever see in the Russian tree.

So I doubt this will be a Russian heavy subtree at all, and even think with the many unique vehicles and variants it could easily rival South Africa as the most unique subtree. If done right, that is.

but i want it exactly this look

If it focuses on Thailand, there’s going to be a fair amount of American & British, with some Chinese stuff littered about.

Germany is popular because of wheraboo-ism.

It’s considered the Magach 8 by some, as it’s technically a further continuation of Israeli upgrades to the M60 series.

Here, have a Magach Marksman as a bonus

I want the Sabra’s so much, I need them i’m a fan I can’t have enough of them oh god

No

Please. Please Gaijin release me from the unusable turd that is the F4F ICE.

I’m okay with a Hornet, despite it maybe not being the fastest or the best accelerating or whatever. Give me a jet with some actual flight performance please.

What did you say, heretic?

It’ll focus on multiple nations, that much is known.

I’d say there’s a good chance for domestic vehicles, as well as Ukrainian vehicles and tons of unique modifications from the US, Britain and others. Pure copies will likely be a minority.

I’d also say Chinese vehicles are unlikely, there is just way too many alternatives to pick from for them to still decide to upset the Chinese further than giving Japan something good already does.

Added it to the list :P (still can’t believe I had forgotten to include that one, I’ve put that in the wishlist thread a few times by now lmfao)

The only other thing I could think might be missing from the list is that one Magach 7A prototype ofekk suggested that had empty armor. I still need to read into that one and do some digging online for info on it.

There’s also the Magach Merkava tho :P

(And if we want to be loose about our Magach definition the Pereh works as well haha)

You know, you could just use another plane, right?
