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

Do you have an idea of how much it would effectively have in game?

Well… we still dont have Ki-48’s and G3M’s in the TT. We havent gotten any WWII aircraft for Japan in the last 4 years.
Gaijin does doesnt care about Japan as shown with the fully C&P sub-TT, which could have been added 2-3 years ago.
Yet they decided to let Japan suffer for years just because they dont care.
Yes, i would like to see more Japanese WWII vehicles, a lot of people want that, yet we dont get anything.

They are still missing WWII CAS designated aircraft, heavy tanks above rank III, heavy bombers, super props, trainer aircraft, better torpedo destroyers (better then the Shimakaze), etc…

It’ll be limited to 20km realistically given that that is the upper limit on targeting, but that’s for anti ship use, against ground targets I imagine you’ll have a hard time locking at that range, think of it like a really big Maverick

Wdym better than shimakaze?

So an AGM-65A/B with a massive payload and an IR seeker, basically.

That’s all I need to throw it around in test drive so I’m happy

We still don’t even have the late G4Ms…(

Seems likely, it’ll go faster too, though tbh I’m not too familiar with the missile, it may end up being way better, closer to the KH-38, we’ll just have to wait and see

It’s subsonic IIRC

IJN Kitakami:

If they really like Japan, they put this in the TT.
The Japanese Navy ingame gets the worst ships of WWII.

Like… where is the Takao class?

1 Like

yeah, high subsonic but it maintains that speed unlike the Maverick, it’s also sea skimming so I’m not sure how that will work on ground maps, could be interesting if it hugged terrain and popped up at the last minute, would make it very hard to see coming, but could also create some tracking issues.

In terms of actually completed dreadnoughts and battlecruisers only hiei and nagato are missing, and japan has 8 or 9 capital ships that are capable of fighting at top tier

These are just Heavy cruisers and battleships hè…
They also have a lot of destroyers which havent been added yet, also light cruisers and the Kaibokan type ships.

They also still lack lots of submarine hunters, gun boats, coastal patrol boats and guided missle ships.

Some more light cruisers were not added too: Tenryū, Nagara, Kitakami, Katori, Yahagi, Ōyodo.
I’m not even talking about destroyers.

Most of those have the class already represented in game, adding the same ship over and over would get really boring after a while, oyodo and kitakami maybe but the rest are just sister ships and not really needed

So if it’s not the Commonwealth, then it’s Rowiek again.

Then the most funniest part of this story is this:

Gaijin: “More vehicles will be added over time”.

THATS A LIE, they arent going to be added. Things were promised 8 years ago yet havent seen the light of day.
Also the reason why we havent gotten any Japanese WWII tank and plane in the last 4 years. Which were the A6M5 HEI and Ro-Go Exp in Ixwa strike on 10 March 2021.

Yes yes, we still need to give some oxygen to Japan.
You folks do it for commonwealth, some others and me do it for Japan.
