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

  • worse mobility
  • better but meaningless armor outside of hull down
  • better round at the cost of the flexible reload

And yet we’ll end up with one. Shame…

So does anyone think the XP-72 will go into the tech tree proper, or be for the Dreams Do Come True event? I’m leaning towards it being in the tech tree as it isn’t asked for on anywhere near the level the TOG and Sturmtiger were. I feel the Flying Pancake would be more in line with the event’s track record.

BR 12.7

BR 13.7

BR 14.0

Not really because current Leclerc’s actually has nerfed mobilty.

Turret armor stops everything while it has much better gun Shield.

Also hull armor is significantly stronger that can resist low caliber rounds which is something Leclerc cant do.

Better round that basically lol pens Leclerc while cant say the same thing for F1.

Only thing Leclerc’s do better is reload, in every other way Leo is better.

You dont know what you’re talking about.

I would say TT given I dont think the other “dreams come true” vehicles were leaked? Also feels a bit too good for being a meme thing. Tog and sturmtiger are more so meme vehicles with a cult following.

I would say things like Boulton Paul Defiant etc are more likely, stuff thats simply just… yeah xD

So where do you guys think the Yubetsú DE 228 will go and at what BR?
3.3-3.7 before or after the JDS Ayanami?
Of course IF its coming this update and probaply without Harpoons.

Isn’t it hilarious with the whole company being named “Gaijin” that they’re absolutely refusing to give Japan any love?

Japan almost only get a new (copy paste) plane when the BR gets raised or new mechanics get added, so they can have something there (F-16/F-15s)

When Japan gets a new tank, it usually gets copy-pasted twice to make the most out of it without any effort (Type 90/10/16). Not to forget Japan only gets a new tank every other update on average, and already had two major updates in a row without any plane.

If they don’t know what else to add, why do we have four sub trees for other nations now but there isn’t even any subtree announced for Japan?

It’s almost sarcastic how these “Gaijins” are being a great example of why the Japanese tend to be so xenophobic towards foreigners.

Reload, and thermals… but yeah, that’s pretty much it.

If mobility wasn’t gimped, it would be MICH better; but as of now, it’s pretty much the same, even though it’s 5 tons lighter with the same engine power (and that’s leaving aside the hyperbar).

They can’t even bother to fix Type 10’s mobility which has been gimped since the tank’s very release…

Broken steering, underperforming acceleration…

Oh the Desert warrior is also incredibly mid :(

Japan lacks of aircrafts from WW2 era and some from cold war. There is plenty suggestions for gaijin to fill japanese tech tree.
If R2y2s gets removed, we may can get the Fuji T-1.
