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

The US needs SPAA. The Skink would have filled part of the gap. The Skink should have been added to the US tree, as well as the British tree, like the SK105 was added to the German and French tree.

There is ultimately no difference. If the Skink has no business being added to the US tree to fill the gap in SPAA, there is no business in the F18 being added to fill any gaps in trees that didn’t use it.

you’re comparing 2 completely different cases here that have nothing in common

your messages are driven by anger and National pride instead of useful arguments, you don’t have a reason for the Swiss F-18 to go into the US tree either and you know that very well thus you brought up the Skink

It’s absolutely not any different. The US needed SPAA in the lower BR range. The Skink was a viable option, and has valid connections to the US. It wasn’t added, despite the need for SPAA.

You argue the lack of SPAA is not sufficient to look outside the US to fill the gap.

Foreign trees lack certain aircraft. You argue it is acceptable to look outside that nation for aircraft that have no connection to those trees.

How is it any different?

oh no…

Well, on the other hand. This could mean 1 or 2 things.
NO.1, we get a new nation, thus having the pre-orders and early acces towards that nation.
NO.2, we get more premiums then we get actual TT vehicles.

Which direction should we expect?
wink wink

No, I’m saying leave a gap, like there is in the US SPAA line.

If your country can’t fulfill its needs, then it has to deal with it.

Morvan don’t continue it, we’re talking to a wall

Yeah, no thanks. I know the US mains need nothing but downtiers to do well, but other nations should be playable at every BR as well

Yeah, the US mains really need to learn to share. Maybe Gaijin should leave them with the F15A for the next year

yeah, and who is that guy anyway

Ok. So if parts are what is needed to bring it to the US. You are in favour of US aircraft using British engines going to the UK correct?

After all the only relation to the US the Skink has is the Original blueprints that helped build the tank it’s built on.

Grizzly -Canadian
Polsten- Polish/British
Nations the uses/tested- Canada and the UK

The simple fact it the US didn’t even look at the project to give it the light of day well the UK got involved to order the project.

So you agree that Gaijin should add foreign built SPAA to fill the gaps in the US tree?

You realize the US was vastly more involved with the Skink than the British were with the F18 and F16? British mains expect F16s because New Zealand almost bought them. Demanding F16s and F18s that you never used or owned or tested because it fills a gap in your tree, while denying US mains an SPAA developed from a tank based on US designs, using US built components.

What vehicle in the US tree is similar to the British wanting F16s?

a random US Main it seems, never seen him here

The US contributed nothing to the Skink, Idk why people cant understand that concept. I think the US mains don’t want other nations to get their equipment because other nations will get a better variant.
Britain is fully capable of getting the Canadian CF-18, but they’re gonna cry.

Man, these dovblegs are taking too long. At least we know that the update will be ground focused :^].

The Skink was a program specifically between Canada and Britain, US wasn’t part of that program, and it was built on a Canadian licensed hull, so US mains need to stop crying over this stuff.

what about this thing

instead of malding over the Skink and crying over any possible addition involving US related vehicles why not support some SPAAs that could actually fill gaps in the US tree?

stop wasting time, start helping to close this gap
