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

We don’t think anything. We know that the Su-27SM is coming.

About the BeNeLux,
The reason why i think BeNeLux should be independend is because of it’s navy and possible sub-TT’s it could get (Indonesia(The Moluccas fought for The Netherlands against Japan), Congo, ivorycoast and Suriname).

Their ground and air are also pretty big and unique - yes there is C&P but that is inevitable.

BeNeLux navy would be one of the best navies in War Thunder with the most variety as well. Not only that, but their Submarine catagory is also pretty well filled. So BeNeLux is future navy prove.

But now with them going to France - their navy will probably never come, same for their helicopter TT.
Indonesia (The Moluccas fought for The Netherlands against Japan), Suriname and Congo can’t be added either due to no nations being related to them.

Now with Hungary, Taiwan and Finland.
We ALMOST have NO unique vehicles from those nations in-game.
With a few exceptions that were added over the years (still 1-4) in which most cases not even for the standalone TT but as a premium or event.

This will happen with BeNeLux, resulting in some of the most iconic vehicles to be event, premium or battlepass. While C&P gets in the TT.
Don’t get me wrong - C&P is fine - as long as the balance of adding unique ones is equal.
Not 8 C&P and 2 unique vehicles as event, premium or battlepass.
Which means lots of players are missing out on some new, interesting and different gameplay between nations.

Mig-25 is just pure wish listing at this point, it’s highly unlikely to ever come

Between the ARH carriers and BeNeLux I wouldn’t expect much else for air this patch.

sure hope it won’t.
It can only fly straight because of its speed and the engines overheat very quickly, resulting in the playerbase to get that vehicle to 10.0

Yeah, it was nice because the submarines spawned right on top of the convoy. Imagine that event but the submarines spawned twice as far away, or even farther.

??? Heavy bombers haven’t had a place in air RB in years.

And okay, so subs don’t spawn with everyone else, where do they spawn instead? Inside a cap point? Just sounds like pity points, giving them a free cap.
Or I’ve seen people say they should spawn behind the enemy teams spawn. I don’t think I need to say anything more about that.

Nah, in an hour maybe.

The earliest time that it usually comes was 80 minutes ago, but okay.

I’m definitely pro independent BeNeLux but wouldn’t like to see Indonesia under it:

  1. Don’t want MiG-21’s in a Dutch tree if it can be avoided.
  2. Their national identity is about kicking out the Dutch. (I’m saying this as a Dutchman having lived nearly a decade in Indonesia)

I would love for Indonesia to come though, ideally under a SEA tree but alternatively under other nations would be better. Japan would be sensitive, and despite people there considering them more brutal than the Dutch during the 3 years they were there keep the following in mind:

-They left without Indonesia having to fight them out.
-Before they left the intention was to declare Indonesia independent with Japans consent. Progress was already underway.
-Almost all the first Indonesian’s military equipment was left behind by the Japanese.

Having said that…I also don’t want MiG-21’s etc in the Japanese tree if that can be avoided…

Hmm, maybe i’m misremembering something.

Don’t get your hopes up, often times we don’t get a devblog on monday when they started dropping them friday

You are forgetting what thread it is.

you know the mollucass fought under the KNIL against Japan right?
They were allies against the Japanese, they even used our equipment during that time.

If Japan does end up as some sort of SEA tree as some mod had vaguely hinted at I can see Indonesia coming to Japan too. But another option would be as part of a possible South Korean tree due to their close military ties.

Ah yes but then it should be Moluccan subtree. Not all of Indonesia. That would totally make sense. I can’t imagine more than a handful of ww2 era vehicles though.

KF-21 let’s gooooo
