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

Why are you replying to me with that message?

The F/A-18 would hurt the least. Too bad India is the subtree and not Canada or Australia.

I fear you’re of a minority opinion there

I didn’t mean to, idk what happened there

in what sense do we say “worse” because if we’re talking aircraft effectiveness, then yes the Indian Rafale dogs the Australian/Canadian F/A-18s.

If we’re speaking metaphorically which is better/worse for the tree, then it doesn’t really matter.

if they wanted Leo’s in the UK wouldn’t it be better to have the service ones from Canada & Australia than tested ones?

well… i’d prefer to see more Japanese naval CAS there…

you can take the ones from the french tree, we neither asked for them or needed them. They just serve as a 1.2 million RP wall that’s going to block the path to the EMBT most likely.

Even with India as a subtree, as Smin has said many times, doesn’t mean we get everything, they could very well limit the number of Indian vehicles they add, especially the Russian stuff, which would leave plenty of room for other subtrees.

Like I said, Britain’s 2 subtrees add up to 28 vehicles, whereas Hungary is 37 I think, and Finland is 40, you could easily add Australia to that list which would bring Britain up to 42 total subtree vehicles, that is without adding a single new vehicle.

i think that this year will be the introduction of rank IX.
With all these new planes coming in, but the biggest reason (i think) that rank IX will come this year (or at latest - next year) is because we are getting a new type of playable vehicle, which is likely going to be sub marines…

To add such submarines, they need to be at a higher rank to be able to be placed in the TT.

worse fitting in the British tree

Romania seems to be officially a subtree of Italy, but I don’t remember exactly what Smin said

You have only received Russian stuff for GB??
I cant recal anything domestically indian…

then yeah the difference between the rafale and F/A-18 doesn’t matter in that context.

I know what they’ve added, and I expect we will get more Russian stuff, but there is no guarantee of it, and they very well could hold off given the community reaction to it so far

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Arjun’s

well… i think GB is in a very, very good place right now.
The Russian/Indian stuff is just extra on the amount of vehicles that GB is receiving per update.

As much as I want to believe in what you said there, I just can’t. The way Smin explained why India even is a subtree for Britain leaves (for me at least) no hope of seeing Gaijin skipping the MiG-29K, Su-30MKI, etc.
I don’t think they are gonna add the Rafale, but there is no way they would skip the MiGs and Sukhois based on how much the India crowd wants them to be added.
