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

I really can’t think of any other, but at least the Philippines can help a lot in the earlier ranks where both Koreas are lacking.

Maybe to balance it out there could be some nation more connected to North Korea as well, but I wouldn’t know honestly. There’s probably others that know a lot more than I do

Geopolitically putting all African nations into one tree would be arguably worse than putting Ukraine in USSR
It’s probably better to make them subtrees of their main allies

Gajin themselves don’t really like calling Australia a sub despite every Australian vehicle barring the AIM going to the UK (odd since we now have a F-111C and about to see hornet number 3).

I guess Canada is more understandable since the Leo’s are exclusive to Germany and the skink was given to the USA (before receiving a second one for some reason).

Ahh yes look at all that wood and cardboard

Honestly, beyond the memes, I don’t know why everyone finds so unbelievable or outlandish the idea that a hyper-militaristic authoritarian regime would, for once, actually develop a functioning weapon; specially with China and possibly Russia behind some of the technical aspects.

I don’t know the capabilities or specs of the Cheonma 2 MBT, but I don’t think it’s “a T-62 with cardboard sheets on top of it”.

NK is extremely broke, if anything they’d ask China to develop it… And don’t forget, to make a good military vehicle, you don’t just need money but also a lot of experienced engineers. I really don’t see where NK would pull those from other than China
So yes it may be real, but they certainly didn’t make it themselves

Hello @Smin1080p_WT , hope you’re having a great Saturday;

A few weeks ago, in the official announcement of rank IX made by Stona, it was mentioned that the jets needed to go from rank XIII to IX were probably going to be 3, could we know though how significant the RP increase will be?

Hopefully there won’t be a rp increase of those but a rp decrease of things below like how things went for the previous ranks

I thought technical assistance and cooperation from China and Russia were a given in this case!

Probably more than assistance tbh, I have a hard time imagining how they could have any kind of military engineers community considering they never (afaik) developed anything modern before

I honestly would expect an increase, but the question is how significant;

Sometimes from rank XII to XIII you can see a jump from 300/350k to 400k rp, which is quite a bit, a similar jump for rank IX would require us to research basically half a million rp :O

That’s exactly my point.

Analysis shows that the Chinese may be the masterminds behind this tank’s development; there are many pieces, components and modules pulled straight from ZTZ-99 and VT-4.

Therefore I don’t find it so unbelievable to think that it may be, in fact, a functional tank and not “hahah T-62 with cardboard sheets”.

I dunno, I just want lower ranks to have their costs reduced since that’s what I play the most xD
Hopefully that will happen again since it did last times

Oh for sure! Though we still have to see if we get any kind of info on those, as for now they’re just a few images

I am honestly Expecting at least 450K RP for Rank IX

480K or 500K wouldn’t be unbelievable imo

Just in case I’m unlocking as many Rank IXs as I can right now xD.

As soon as I’m done with Rafale, I’ll get Golden Eagle, F-18E and EF AESA. Just for good measure.

Not only for the Rank IX requirements themselves; but also expect the Rank IX UNLOCK requirement to be: “ah, yes, you must research and purchase 6 Rank VIII planes to unlock Rank IX, so now you have to grind every single line lol lol”.

According to Stona the requirement will be 3 so should be fine
