That’s the point, it’s copy paste, but bad for everyone lmao.
I saw some people talking about it ageeees ago, probably in jest, but seemed good for annoying people.
The ground side was a little bit of a thought experiment in how many nations I could reasonably C&P a Scorpion (or something bassd on it) into, post- revolution Iran has tonnes of Scorpions to choose from, and has decent relations with Russia. So in this imaginary world where Gaijin is actively trying to piss people off, it works.
Truely the most Gaijin thing I could think of, (it was either that or event, but I used that already)
You see, that would be something actually interesting to be added, but that’s not the point of the list, it’s supposed to be a bad update when you distil it down (excessive copy paste, manufacturer nations not getting their shiny, and genuinely terrible additions, whilst paywalling the interesting stuff)
Oh I know, but people would still cry copy paste, which was the point. The American side was a bit of “it’ll annoy the Germans” but also being TT it’ll block an actually American opinion from being added for a bit which will piss off the purists, two birds one stone.
By nickname I meant official ones, not pilot or crew ones. This MoD MDS document lists the Ghibli name as well, so it’s definitely not just a company name.
True. We usually use the latest names in such cases of renamings (i.e. AF-1E instead of FJ-4B, F-9E - F9F-5, F-9J - F9F-8, F-8C - F8U-2, etc.), unless we can reliably date it earlier than the renaming happened. (FJ-4B (VMF-232) remained so for example, because of the Bullpups.)
At the same time, unfortunately weaponry or skins are usually not reliable, as the former are reserved for balance decisions, while the latter is often mismatched.
Hi @Smin1080p_WT. I was just wondering if we soon will see more full internal modules for helicopters. It’s been 2 updates since the AH64 and KA52 got it, with no more changes since then. It’d be nice to have news on that, because the current damage model really isn’t great, with loosing modules just being a matter of getting some shrapnel from a missed missile/proxy fuze. Some helicopters would really benefit from this, such as the Euro Tigers with redundant systems, or flying tanks like MI8 that can tank many shells but loose the ability to fire it’s own armement far before being actually shot down
T is actually more relaxed than O and especially B when it comes to arms sales to the ROC.
O blocked a lot of stuff but at least approved things that could go under the guise of obsolescence prevention (Viper upgrade to our F-16A/Bs, for example); B in fact clawed back some of the items approved under T’s first term. We are very, very lucky B couldn’t manage to do the same to M1A2T or F-16 Block 70 because they’re meant to fill in voids that are either very soon to come or already here.
*she, and somewhat, the goal of the list is to piss people off and Canadian stuff is an easy way of doing, a better option for a FV101 equivalent in the German TT is infact the Saladin armoured car, which was used by the German boarder patrols for a bit.
Norway F-16 for Sweden (but its squadron or premium)
ROC, French (Morocco), and Italian (Romania) M1A2s
Canadian Leopard 2 in the US and UK trees but each gets one variant
Those are the ones off the top of my head because they’re pretty easy hits
And they are different F-16 variant (that italy didn’t use) and it also just further worsens copy paste. We are finally hitting a point where nations have their own stuff and F-16 spam no longer has a good reason to be done
Yeah, Italy doesn’t really need another F-16, though they should really probably fix the one they do have.
But I’m not sure it’s a huge issue if they did get another one, particularly if it adds something unique, which I think the Romanian ones do as they have been, or are being upgraded further, from what I remember
