Ah cool, was just curious as there’s 2 or 3 arguable LT “lines” in the 9.3-9.7 BR range of similar packages to the Badger, most of which with a “better”/higher BR tank capping them off already, thought you/Gaijin was moving the Olifants & TTD over to make it into a true LT line for a minute there. Thank you for the response!
Why not split the difference and hope for a Vijayanta 1b/vickers mk1 improved model :p
Yeah though if Indian tanks does come then I hope they’ll be in the Vickers line
well those could be added in the current one without reshuffling
We haven’t said what BR it will be at yet. IFVs are useful not just on their given BR but as scouts on the BRs above.
We also dont just add modern top end vehicles at the max BR. Badger was a very commonly requested IFV that many wanted to see. The reaction to it today has also supported that.

You sure? Honestly feels like it in air
It is weird because the Badger really shouldn’t be higher than 9.7 while both the SA line and desert warrior both have vehicles at a higher BR than that.
Personally I’d quite like the Mk3(i) with the ERA :3
(Oh and FV101 + the Alvis wheelie guys)

Yup, I am hoping for a good bit of fun with it. Though also hoping for some other rank V/VI vehicles in the 6.0-9.0 region soon for the UK too ^^
I think people always forget about the early to mid cold war too much.
Air is the oldest part of the game which was quite far behind ground for some time. So naturally more recently its had some modern advancements to bring everyone up to speed. But aircraft of all ranks have still been introduced to the game over the past few years too.

If its anything other than 9.7 alongside the ICV then I would eb very concerned
The issue is we have nothing, absolutely no line up for it, meaning either using 9.0 tnaks like the Chieftain Mk10 or using it at 10.3/10.7 with the Challenger Mk2/Mk3.
Additions like the aforementioned would actually be at those BRs and thus be of greater value, yes you can scout, but I would rather be able to scout and kill things, otherwise I might as well just run the Desert Warrior or Stormer HVM to scout with
Exactly the reason I was asking lmao, the Vickers line has the Mk.7 @ 10.7, the TD/Warrior line has the DW @ 10.0, the South African line has the TTD @ 10.3. Considering comparable IFVs like the CTWV I/RCV (P)s, VCBI-2, & such sit at 9.7, I can’t see it going much higher than them and “capping off” any of those lines.

A reshuffle to fix the current mess of the South African line being the de-facto light tank line while also containing MBTs (Olifants and TTD), and tank destroyers (G6) would be a huge positive for the British tree.
The current implementation is getting messier with every addition.
Something along the lines of
Domestic MBTs | Foreign/Export MBTs | ATGMs/TDs | SPAA | Light Tanks
Would give every vehicle a defined place as well as open up space for much-requested vehicles like the British cold war lights; Scorpion 90, Saladin 90, Simba 90 etc etc.

It’s my favourite area to play tbh, so I’ve been a little disappointed previously. Eating well recently though.
Of course, still feels like a new top tier air vehicle gets added at least every 2nd patch.
In the mean time top tier ground is quite spar. And while of course many nations might struggle with top tier vehicles. Or the br range. Nations like USA, Ger and Russia are lacking A LOT of top tier vehicles.
USA and Russia already get a lot of attention because of air additions. But germany shines in ground. Yet has few high tier / top tier ground additions.
Most recent ones realy being the several different Spaa variants.
But a lot of unique older german mbt variants still exist.
Full Leopard 2 Revolution kit
Leopard ATD
Leopard 2a6a3
PSO-VT
2a7+
And thats not starting with 2a7a1 which by could be added.
Air just seems to get way more love towards higher progression
China has a lot top tier lights, france as well

Dev stream this week??
not likely to early
You forgot to add in T-34-85, which is the vehicle missing from all the fake leak lists as well.
Yeah but that would just be a rumored vehicle as they didn’t specifically say the stabilized one would come in the next update.
