Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Maybe in real life but a jet that could be used like a WW2 prop would always be better in WT.

(Blame the fact all the game modes are still built around WW2. After all Gaijin will do everything in its power to act like it’s still a “WW2 game” and I think I know why and you all should too)

I could say the same to the Royal Navy

SHar FA.2 should have good acceleration
But gen 1 wings will be an issue. Maneuverability will suffer because of that and payload is limited.
Either guns and Sidewinders for close range standoffs or AMRAAMs with Sidewinders for mix or go full AMRAAM and guns for long range killing power with close range backup.
Not to say that it will be slower than the competition

Just my two cents

speaking about hungary. They started talks about buying grippen e so… great for italy tree

At least Hungry is an official sub-tree. India isn’t even that.

Gaijin hasn’t once said India is all going to UK or a sub-tree.

Gaijin hasn’t one said India is all going to UK or a sub-tree.

Didn’t Smin imply that once a sub-nation goes into one tree, it usually will remain there?
I hardly find it a coincidence that UK ground already has two Indian vehicles and air has Indian Jag

That’s for sub-trees only.

Else all of Australia would be in the UK and all of Canada in the US tree

And India didn’t have a update where it was a major focus. As all sub-tree additions

On two of those Indian vehicle are British. (Jag and Vickers Mk 1)

But what they used to add India was “Commonwealth” and they where adding stuff from the Commonwealth.

Fair enough, when I made my first comment I didn’t really consider the WW2 and early cold war aspect. My mind was mostly on modern stuff like Leopard 2s, Panzerhaubitze etc.

You guys have some good points with “fighting the invaders” as you say, and @Mahiwew bringing up that Netherlands had many French vehicles post-war.

So I have changed my mind regarding the Benelux sub-tree, but I still think there will be some drama about the high tier german equipment. That is pretty much inevitable.

Hungary is officialy a sub-tree.
Commonwealth (Canada, India, …) is “filler” barrel.

Teaser won’t come until like Thursday on the week when there will be dev stream and dev server opening
So either 30th May or 6th June

Yeah, I think so as well. Like you yourself said, most people only look at modern stuff these days (especially younger players I feel like). Most people that even try to do research won’t go much beyond the ‘current in-use’ page for militaries. The same can be said about may comments I see on Belgian stuff: List of equipment of the Belgian Land Component - Wikipedia.

Since AAM4’s are coming, is japan likely to get the F2A this update too? I know the F15J can carry the AAM4’s but it would be nice if Japan had more top tier options

Considering that the F-15J MSIP is coming (leaked and makes most sense atm) and F-2 having AESA Radar, I don’t think we can expect it this major. The chance for it is higher later this year imo.

Any chance that this update will add cold war naval vessels? I really want to fly my A4E and F3H into a naval battle.

People rarely look pass the current equipment page or hyper focus on the equipment everyone uses. Barley looking into stuff they built or prototypes.

And it happens with plenty of nations. (I’ve seen it for Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and of course(do to it being me) Canada and Benelux.

Some examples are the fact I had more then two arguments on how the NF-5 isn’t a US F-5.

Or how about those times I’ve told you all about how people have claim Canadian built things are American. (And it’s at least 5 different vehicles now)
