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

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

As long as it’s got a radar, missiles and a deserved BR of more than 11.0, I’m happy with whatever they add.

Wasn’t being serious lol.

Right now we don’t really have anything concrete to suggest we will be getting an SPAA this update at all. Only speculation that “Spyder - - - - ISR” fits into one of the blanked spaces on a leak list. (But many other things fit into that blank space so make of that what you will).

If it’s between Spyder & HVSD/ADAMS, I feel the former is much more likely simply because a lot more information exists (though I’d be overjoyed with either).

If they do opt for Spyder, which of the 5(?) variants of it they go for will be a very interesting decision too.

Since SPAA’s the hot topic nowadays

So, why haven’t we got this beaut yet:

probably because it’s be pretty useless. The US already has 9.0-9.3 SPAA covered and has no lineups at 9.7.

So it would just be a SPAA without lineup that is too mediocre to build a lineup around.

F-22 is technically self propelled anti aircraft. Should be that
