It seems my question went through in the part 2.
Is there a development planed for all the vehicles of a folder to provide the research bonus for the next vehicle in line? It’s sad the Spitfire Mk24 doesn’t give any bonus on the 1st Meteor.
Sadly tree organisation would not be based solely on opinion alone, as there can be many reasons (game balance, research balance / composition) for the order and structure of trees.
Currently this is not planned. The vehicle research bonus follows on from the main vehicle of the group for those wishing to progress through the tree. Foldered vehicles are for expanding existing line-ups and provide further options for players to explore.
I’m asking as the tree I’m on about seems to have hit a small issue with future updates and previous planes are being under utilised to progress the tree, it would be to keep historical accuracy to a degree and allow the dev team to easily add more to the nation in future updates
The vehicle was first produced long before this occurred. Vehicles remain in service through many changes of government and politics. That has nothing to do with the game.
As part of the roadmap they pretty much halved the RP requirement of all foldered vehicles. That’s probably a better deal for us than any research bonus would have been.
As always, we are working on gaps to fill gaps in all nations. Many vehicles to resolve existing gaps are in the plans, along with other vehicles people want to see.
Not to impressed with the leaks. The T1E1 variant is neat but the high level stuff is just not that interesting to me. Just wanna see more weird tanks lol. The Finnish KV will be fun but it’s a shame it’s a premium. Hopefully some more interesting tank stuff is revealed between now and release.
