…and that’s counting 2A5NL and 2A6NL, which honestly I wouldn’t, since they are just identical copy-pastes of vehicles we’ve had since 2019 and 2020 respectively…
They REALLY made it look like Ground Rank VIII was a huge deal back in December 2023, like it was “the beginning of the new era of Ground vehicles”… then they proceeded to add 3 actually Rank VIII-worthy vehicles, throw in half the Rank VIIs we had had ingame since 2019, and forget about it until now (so far).
I think you should count in helicopter addition. The only pvp mode they can be used in is ground after all.
Hmmmm I couldn’t, hahah.
Ground players who play (or would like to) ground vehicles are not really affected by helicopters, the same way they aren’t by C*S additions; they are a completely separate class of vehicles on a different tech tree as well (gladfully they can be grinded with ground vehicles now, otherwise, it would be practically impossible… it’s hard enough already when each heli is 400,000 RP and there are no folders at all.)
And even in the helicopter department I think they fell behind by a margin; only a few nations have fire-and-forget capabilities while others are limited to subpar and even mediocre weapons by comparison (U.S being a prime example again lol), which leads to unbalance. FnFs may be OP, but they are even more OP because they are exclusive only to a few nations. If everyone who can have them had them, it would be more fair than only a select few being fortunate to have them.
I could say this about SPAA and MBT. In game and irl, helicopters are tied to ground forces, you are able to research helicopters with tanks like you said, you can only PVP with helicopter in ground modes, same as ground vehicles, and irl attack helicopter are there to help friendly ground forces, and at least for US Army and USMC they are directly operated alongside armored forces (until marines retired Abrams)
They could add AH-64E and give it SPIKE NLOS, or add JAGM-MR without MMW mode to AH-1Z
Its almost as if gaijin lies
I’m curious to what Japan, China, Italy and Sweden are getting this patch.
i think that japan gonna get f-2a viper zero, china j-10c and j-11b/su-30mkk, honestly dont know about others but sweden most likely gripen-e
Technically for France the Mirage 2000N would also be considered as a strategic bomber but I’m not sure that Gaijin would count it as such.
hope that china gets it’s j-10c with aesa… more interesting missiles and flight performance
Hopefully J-10B and/or J-11B. It should be the easiest additions (mainly the J-11B which will bring Flanker with actually good BVR missiles and give China own up-powered Flanker (if Gaijin take WS-10 variant))
J-10B please.
The J-10A is still pretty good, one of the better 13.7s, and still competitive enough at top tier from my experience, whereas the J-11A is awful, so between the two I’m hoping for J-11B this update
J-11B, J-10B, J-11BG, J-15, J-10C, J-16 is the order I think they’ll add them
the missiles must follow with the J11B : PL8B, PL12A and possibly the PL15 if gaijin considers which is not too op for top tier gameplay. and I am also waiting for Chinese A-G missiles like the C-701, C-704 and C-802
where can I buy one? (just joking)
F18c being premium is a fucking travesty.
Ideally, it is A+, since that was other option
Sounds about right, just that the J-15 is probably worse than the J-11BG. They might add it as a squadron or premium vehicle like with the SU-33 as that is the aircraft it is based off.
The J-16 is effectively an SU-30 copy too so it should be in the strike line after the MKK imo.
There is also the J-15T which should be at the top of the Flanker tree, as a SU-33 copy with fully up to date weapons an AESA radar and some stealth coatings, it has the extra hardpoints that the SU-33 has so the possibility of 8 PL-15s plus 4 PL-10s would be pretty amazing
