Lets see if we can’t hit Part 4 by the first blog, which might come next week Friday

Thai Gripen C, take it or leave it

145

we are getting python 4s for sure

146

ain’t that how Air RB landings go

I don’t really mind CBT, it allows for Gaijin to make money without really taking anything from the F2P players as it’ll all be available for free an update later. They usually even make CBT earnable which is nice.

One of the least toxic ways to monetize a F2P game

I’m a top tier ground player so I’m mostly looking forward to top tier MBTs. If I had to name a single one it would be the SEPv3 because I love how it looks.

I don’t expect to see the SEPv3 in game anytime soon, but we still seem to be getting a pretty good update according to the leaks and roadmap.

I feel like, in this update, Japan might get FOX 3 Capable aircrafts. The problem is how many it will get

  • F-15J MSIP seems like a no-brainer choice to me because we already have F-15J. The question is, will it be an entirely new plane? Or will it just be a modification for F-15J

In case Gaijin wants to add Thai stuff, there are also some choices which are possible

  • F-16A
  • Gripen C
  • F-5TH Super Tigris w/ DERBY capability. While this one maybe unlikely due to the F-5 airframe, the last FOX3 event showed the DERBY missile, the same type that F-5TH Super Tigris used.

I must say im really sad that the main advetisement became top tier stuffs. Personally i think that max 1/3 of the vehicles being added should be like high/top tier (boths ground and air vehicles) Rest should be low and mid tier, Of course the more SPAAs the better

To be fair, i didnt looke at it also, but i know there are some original vehicles, like Finland have…but knowing Gaijin, we will get mostly/almost only copy and past vehicles…like we did with Finland and Hungary

unfortunately that was always gonna be, because the majority of your playerbase are gonna be interested in that stuff. Because it’s stuff they’ve seen and the nationalism goes through the roof with the “OH MY COUNTRY’S TANK IS BETTER THAN X”

Hence why Gaijin always scrambles to get out some sort of top tier premium for every major nation, because its a massive revenue stream for them.

Same!

Basically, I would like to see more Strv 122/T-80BVM/Leopard 2A7V counterparts…

Both by implementing new vehicles (A1 FEP, A2 SEPv3, Leclerc XLR) and by fixing currently ingame ones (Type 10s, Leclercs, Chinese MBTs, the Abrams’)…

And, of course, implementing the new ones properly. M1A2 SEPv3 won’t do any good if Gaijin implements it as a 70 ton M1A2 with better thermals because “they don’t believe” that there were any armor improvements between 1979/92 and 2018 (the extra 8 tons are for the cool factor).

News to me? Was it in that First Sea Lord’s recommendations paper or…?

here’s the problem: of course they don’t believe.

Why would they have any reason to?

I remember something about Royal navy building new ships and I thought a type 45 was on the list. But might be either going insane or misremembering

There’s 26s being produced and if I remember 2 have been laid down, and iirc the Type 83 is in the planning stage, but I dunno about any 45s.
