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

Shooting missiles at people from BVR at 20+km and assisting them with a TWS track to cook people is not meta??? UUUUuuummmm guess I’m doing it wrong in my C GE/SM2/Raf!

But if doing it wrong can net me the kills I have…I’ll be wrong!

For sure, other nations (especially Sweden, Italy and France) should get similar re-arrangements

Now, this is just my guess, but they probably prioritized Britain because the Ajax wouldn’t have fit into the themes of any of the columns (first column was mediums, second was export vehicles, third was TDs and British ATGM launchers, fourth was SPAA and fifth column was South Africa)

Basically, Britain had no dedicated light vehicle column

Placement of Indias vehicles also would have been awkward, but, well, Gaijin still hasn’t added any of Indias non-SPAA to the TT lol

Sweden and Italy are probably the next nations to receive a overhauls, as their trees are at some point going to run into the same problem as the pre-rearrangement Britain tree

Other nations are unlikely to run into that issue, as their trees don’t have dedicated subtree columns

Edit: forgot about Japan, they will also need a TT re-arrangement

I would gladly see Romania and even Chechslovakia in the same Minor axis tree. But the thing is the post war soviet epuipment are hardly in line with the italian tree, which is a problem. But I don’t want to see WW2 era Chech designs in the soviet tree either. Splitting the WW2 and postwar trees would be a solution, but we are not trusting the devs with that, as bluewater and coastal exist.

Note: Gaijin if you are currently reworking trees, that’s fine I guess, but please please do NOT increase the grind 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

When has weird or random vehicle placements stopped gaijin? They put a Swedish hunter in the Finnish air like on release, it’s still there,

Only thing Sweden needs is a rearrangement of 1.0-10.0 ground and the entire air tree needs more space there’s no room for anything (not that they’ll add anything anyways)

From what information has been floating since the disclosure I would temper your expectations of the 120D. As of right now expect a 120C with more burn time.



There goes the issue joke:

typical bug report manager #1 stuff

Again, it’s just a guess.

Sensible placement of vehicles definitely wasn’t a priority in the past, dunno why it apparently matters now

Spoiler

Maybe some UI designer with an OCD got promoted lol

As for Sweden, if they majority of the ground TT needs a re-arrangement, you might as well do the whole thing

The air tree obviously could use a fifth column nowadays

The devblog for the F/A-18F doesn’t mention GBU-53s either

They do list all the other GBUs that the F/A-18E has tho

I can calm you down a bit:

Czechoslovakia will probably appear at some point, but definitely not as Soviet subtree, maybe as a part of some Eastern European TT. Actually I don’t think USSR needs any subtree with all the stuff it could get from its republics.
As for Soviet tech in the Italian TT, well, it’s already happened.

both should get them anyways, the bug report manager is in the wrong since the only functional difference is reduced fuel (to fit the extra seat) and higher empty weight

How is the manager in the wrong, it literally isn’t a bug

F/A-18F != F/A-18E is a bad reason

5th column isn’t happening they already shoved Norway into the strike fighter line. Sweden will probably be the only nation without a 5th air line going into the future. Israel should get one with greece but I’m not super certain on that one so I’ll just leave it at maybe 50 50 it joins sweden

My brother in Christ, the GBU 53 isn’t in the game

How is that a bug?

bug report manager said F/A-18E != F/A-18F for the gbu-53 report which doesnt make sense, they shouldve just said it isnt ingame, which it should have been 2 updates ago

His point is the bug report was closed out cause E isn’t the F not that it’s not in the game. The ticket was closed on a bad pretense. Rather than GBU-53 is not in game.

these bug mods can’t be real

Looking at other closed bug reports regarding the GBU 53, they seem to avoid outright saying that the GBU 53 isn’t in the game yet

Another report got closed and the manager linked to the Tornado GR.4 devblog, which Said that mmW weapons wouldn’t be added, which doesn’t really matter for the GBU 53

Other reports regarding the Stormbreaker just don’t get closed in the first place and there still is an open one for the F/A-18E which doesn’t rely as much on the F variant

Edit: the F/A-18E != F/A-18F reason in that case is correct, the picture is of a F variant and there are no other valid reliable sources listed in the report

I wonder, with us getting IRST pods, will the sniper pod gain IRST functionality?
