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

So does gaijin decide to completely model new aircraft on short notice?

Because they always seem to say stuff is planned months in advance and it takes 6 months to a year to model stuff

Not quite what I meant.
As the 2.7.0.55 dump has shown, they do have many models themselves “in storage”, some of which we still haven’t gotten after 3 years. These models do take months or even years to make, however if you have the models, it’s hell of a lot easier to create the DM/FM to it.
Another angle to consider is that these lists are for a specific update, which unlike Olivia’s leaks for instance, need specific knowledge about what’s to come not only in general, but in the immediate future.
When I said last minute addition, I meant a vehicle for which the model is already there, it just needs DM/FM cooked up for it on short notice, which is a hell of a lot easier to do.
Similarly there are last minute delays, one reason if which is when the model they planned to use isn’t quite ready yet.
Smin can correct me though.

Was this found in the files? I really love these old armoured cars

Ah that makes sense, i guess considering the F-5s model was already in game it would have been simpler too.

Do they have a storage outside of the game files then, that leakers may or may not be able to see?

No need for that. Israel tested Kfir C.10 by itself and its an Israeli aircraft and Israeli modernization afterall.

Tho I’d like to see Columbian Kfir Blk 60 with Python 4 and Derby-ER at some point in the future

Most leaks you see are from insiders working for or with Gaijin. Datamining models from the files is completely different thing

Oh H145M , how i miss ya

That’s not how it works. Lots of models are in progress all the time and have set plans for when they will be ready.

But things can and do change. Sometimes a model is not ready and other times, others can finish ahead of time.

So the final contents of a major update can be very fluid right up until the update is finalized and must be locked in for deployment.

We don’t just decide to make a new model overnight. Whilst something can appear in an update last minute, it doesn’t mean months of planning, consideration, research and other elements haven’t gone into it already by the time you see it.

This is why it would be awesome to see a behind the scenes series on how you do updates.

Hi smin, here I have a idia :)))))
In ground RB battles, the identification classification of vehicles is not clear enough, light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled combat vehicles are classified as “light tanks” with white “-” identification
As a result, they share a common set of spawn points, and players often need to attack different vehicles multiple times in a single battle, only to be troubled by the high number of points of repeating the same type of “-” vehicle. For example, if I use a 2S25M, and when I am destroyed, and I want to use the BMP2M, I will find that the spawn points are stacked, and in fact they are different kinds of vehicles, which is a problem, and the identification of all light armored vehicles is very blurred.
I have a suggestion, can you distinguish between the classifications of “traditional tracked artillery light armored tanks”, “wheeled mobile artillery (MGS)”, “infantry fighting vehicles”? This allows us to be more flexible in our choice of them, and now that they are classified as the same type, multiple sorties will consume giant spawn points, which is obviously unreasonable.
For example, classifying the MGS as a “tank destroyer” (as before) and the IFV as a new positioning: “infantry fighting vehicle” with independent spawning points, while the traditional tracked light armored tank remains the same, I think many players have the same idea as me.

Can you communicate this advice to developers? This is easy to do, and it would be nice to get this change in the next major update :D

@Smin1080p_WT as it seems we get another Boxer this update, has the damage model been updated/fixed or is it still riddled with inaccuracies?

Just create a suggestion for it.

@gromvoiny any chance we can snatch this bad boy on 50% off from the Xbox store?

Seems like a good vehicle for grinding the event.

just do your thing

Please make a suggestion topic for your proposal so other players can vote and share their thoughts. It can then be passed via the process.

Wow.

Wowowow.

It’s Gaijin, on France, on the more niche TT type of the game.

Make it 6.

The only redeeming factor of that thing is the lower BR it has compared to the GR1/ASSTA1

I don’t think you are missing out on anything, even at 50% off
