Any perticular reason why Gaijin went with an IFV at a BR where the only other vehicle we have is the Tracked Rapier instead of later, more modern and/or more capable IFVs like the Ajax, Boxer or Warrior Verdi II (40mm guns and for 2 of them, FnF ATGM to match the Spikes) for the 10.3/10.7 BR range?
Its annoying that even after this addition, we have no answer to the 2S38. Puma, etc etc
Smin I know this maybe a nothing burger but as you know stuff like that perks my ears up, just to warn you.
bonk no canada or australia subtree for you
Well not them but perhaps some Indian tanks ?
that i am open to
How about some British ones?
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.
