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

7.7 lineup is great, as is the 9.0-9.7 BR range. 11.3 recently got cucked, but still good. 11.7 is great, as is 12.0. Everything else has gaps or sucks.

We likely wont ever see the O-I since theres not much proof that it actually existed as a full vehicle outside of blueprints, questionable testimoney, and a track link that doesnt go to anything else

To be fair that’s on Gaijin, not an issue with Thai vehicles. They could’ve added more unique aircraft and modelled some of those we did get right, but didn’t.

Yeah, left the (?) in case I missed some new developments. Hope that something comes up eventually surrounding it, as the only Heavy tanks in Japan is a worse Tiger (80GJN) and a 1.3 premium.

At 7.7 Japan only has the Type 87 RCV (P). Theres no other 7.7 vehicles and youl be forced to bring stuff like the M47 and Type 99 up which does not make for a sound lineup

We still need more STA, STB, SPRG, Chi-Ha kai variants.

The only thing holding the M47 up is the HEATFS. It doesnt even have the theoretical good armor that the M48 has

and read

I said substantial

am aware of those rare JP gems left to be added (and still haven’t got something like the in-service Type-74 105mm SPG for some reason) … but those are not enough

Also,

Japan Self-Defense Forces - Wikipedia.

Singapore as JP subtree makes sense as well (–if not Israel–).

and even the HEATFS is questionable

The HEATFS in my experience is pretty strong, but its held back so hard with how bad the M47 is. Id rather play the M46 even if its HEAT has worse pen

na they can go a year and a half with no additions to SPAA while nato gets 20-40km range SAMs

Speaking of, I hope this comes to fruition:


Modernization concept for the Type 89, shown at DSEI2025. Another addition to the list if it does.

Edit: Though the lack of ATGM sucks but if we get Switchblades though… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, with the CTWV lacking any sort of usable anti tank munition i think it could maybe be smart to have a swuad of deployable AI anti tank guys who shoot rockets at enemy vehicles, just to give it the ability to deal with something packing actual armor

the F-18 should be premium since Germany has no swiss in the tech tree, just the Hunter and FFA which are squadron and premium as well.

Tbh i would like it to be, just like air superiority. Wednesday night trailer

talking of JP ATGM

what I want the most now in JP grnd top tier-ish
