ive heard that one before lol
Na we get 2 easy have KGV as the premium and Duke of York as the techtree (we can finally bully Scharnhorst)
Ive been rather enjoying Rodney the last few days. So id probably pick up one with a lot of AAA. Though a shame Gaijin denied Rodney’s 30 reload because “They felt its current 35 second reload was fine” despite primary sources

If I were to comment on this, it would be on the mere 2 vehicles added to Rank VIII… back in December 2024, Rank VIII was announced like War Thunder’s next big thing, yet it ended up leading to a 500 day period where only 2 new vehicles were implemented on it; Leopard 2A7HU and Namer Trishkon… and I would hardly label the Namer as Rank VIII anyway, leaving us to exactly 1 Rank VIII vehicle in well over a year :/

From what I’ve gathered, Vanguard and the KGVs seem sort of sidegrade-y (I’ve seen it argued both ways), but yes, I definitely want to see them added soon! They’re probably the most “important” class that’s been “skipped”.
Already can. Killed 3 easily last night in a single match in Rodney. Just aim for the Turret towers. If you set them on fire, its about a 75% chance of a kill
Would likely not change that much, because Ground wasn’t the only one to receive new low/mid rank stuff.
Would still be a massive imbalance between new ground and air additions in 2024

it was a joke because you know Duke of York was the one to sink Scharnhorst
Ah right, but it was actually Belfast that bullied Scharnhorst, she was retreating when the taskforce containing DoY intercepted her
imagine rank IX
Yeah! I have noticed lately that destroying and burning turrets is a semi-reliable way of destroying ships, as fires travel down the elevators to the ammo racks.
I like this. If you put down the fire quickly, you are fine; but if you ignore it or are too slow to address it, you are doomed. Nice mechanic both for gameplay and balance.
also a little poke, no regenerative steer for tanks that have it and we are talking about very modern tanks
OR armor that makes sense, and tanks not able to climb etc…
just small things that can really affect everything and top tier

Yeah, needs a little refinement I think, but its done a lot to address the insane imbalance at top tier we had for a while

Tanks having traction is a marketing lie.
true i forget im sorry, please don’t make traction and climbing more realistic any more

I’m talking about rank 7-8 that interests me.
This would not be correct. Many vehicles have been introduced into Rank VIII for ground. The Leopard 2A7, M1A2 SEP V2, T-90M, Challenger 3 TD, VT-4, and STRV 122B+ to name some.
Since then, we have been very clear the focus was on bringing aircraft up to speed with ground, which lagged significantly behind in terms of technology and age.
Ground was far from ignored in the meantime. New subtrees have been introduced, gap filling vehicles added and long awaited vehicles across the board came in. We do not only focus on top tier content.

tbf she only started retreating because she confused the 6inch star shells of bellfast as star shells from DoY when compared to the 4inch star shells of the destroyers, and DoY’s task force were the ones that cut her off from retreating lol
I meant on the 500 day period since the December 2023 update, when most of those were implemented.
After that update, over the next 500 days, only Leopard 2A7HU and Namer Trishkon have been implemented to Rank VIII.
This is true. However, at least 1 or 2 more additions to Ground Rank VIII over these 500 days couldn’t have hurt… :')
In that sense, I am glad this update will be bringing new Rank VIII SAMs. Between the new Top Tier SAMs and the new Battleships, this update is looking amazing for me!

not heard of that before.
I was under the impression it was just the superior radar on the British ship and the appauling weather meant that Scharn couldnt fight back and her captain was under orders to not risk her sinking and had already taken a few bad hits from the 6" guns that gave her pause
