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

A dozer blade equipped Challenger 2 would be very fun and might actually be half decent. But What is needed is to simply give most/all existing CR2s that modification, not lock it behind another CR2.

But its the kind of thing Gaijin like doing to Britain at the moment. Rather than addressing the actual problems. They either throw a Soviet C&P at our tree or just throw a C&P of an existing vehicle.

What is the difference between the F/A-18A+, F/A-18E vs the F/A-18C

I dont know much about the F-18. Britain is my main area of expertise.

A would be SARH
C would be ARH and a better engine
E would have AESA and another better engine

I think

A little bit of them might spice up the branch I guess
But I also think ‘we need our domestic one FIRST’.

We can’t eat trifle before having Classic roasted beef on meal. right?

True, but there are a good few that at least get accurate/autoloaded guns in recompense (which for some reason sit at or around the same BR (Chikugo, Akebono, Asheville, etc).

Id still argue that Britain has more than “spice” if they just modeled it. Stuff like the Challenger 1 Falcon for example. Would make an extremely interesting addition to the TT

I sure hope so F-2 or bust

You better hope I don’t find you in-game :D

I’ll take it. An F-16AJ with AAM-3 is all I need to CAP in ground RB.

Yeah, there are a few. But as a general rule of thumb. Most frigates are weaker than reserve destroyers. Which is insane.

The thing is, in this current time, the only quality that the British tree can offer is a tree that is almost copypaste free, and offers a playstyle that is unique to the British tree and no one elses. What playstyle? Lets not ask about it.
The only way Indian designs will make the tree better is by bringing absurdly powerful vehicles that mitigated its loss in authenticity. India is in fact assembling its own pantsir system and you know the rafale M. So that is possible but I would still say no to that.

Yep, India might treat the symptoms, but does nothing for the root cause

Yeah. Separation of coastal and naval gamemodes is needed, plus massive decompression. That way both modes might actually have a playerbase…

Yeah, they need to either commit to them being a single gamemode, or 2 seperate ones. This half and half just isnt working

Wheres the T-90 Bhishma Mk-3s from india for brits. Gaijin will add it in the future for sure.

I dont mind like the Bishma but like the OSA and Strella when we already had 2 10.0s Idk i think it just clutters the SPAA line since if you only use tech tree tanks we have more SPAA then MBTs at that br

Ofc, Soviet C&P from India shouldn’t steal the opportunity of the Domestic unique one which should’ve been added first.

IMO, I might be fine with Indian Strella, but It should’ve come later than Tracked Rapier.

For now, the Only Indian plane which I would like to see is the Indian MiG-23BN I guess.
It might treat the symptoms on British Rank 6~7 maybe?

I think the British Air Rank 6/7 is quite weak compared to its American counterpart for grinding.
(For me, Harrier GR.3 seems the best bet for Brit Rank 6 while AV-8C is considered as not worthful to play in US rank 6)
And MiG-23BN is at least, Playable on ARB unlike Bucc S.1/2 does. :/

Hawk T1.A, Typhoon T.3 (as an alternate to the FGR.4, like the 16D for israel) and harrier GR.9 are on my wishlist for UK aircraft

India, i dont want much, gnat PLEASE! SU-30MKI for being a “copy-paste”, Tejas for unique. Perhaps a MiG29K as a gap between the FA2 and F35B.

South africa, Cheatah C and D (D has a better engine and, ofc, looks better). perhaps a south africa modification of the hawk as well?!?!

Australia. F/A-18 OR, i would prefer the canadian CF-188 since its more unique. but UK doesnt have any claim too these 2, we can dream tho

Im glad i’ve already gotten the ADATS and managed to skip that grind entirely. I quite like the Stormer and so wouldnt use either anyway

At least it isn’t bumped to 4.0 as one poor boat. Most Frigates suck compared to destroyers, but this one is on another level.
Try to prove to Gaijin that it’s wrong they will never listen to feedback of naval player, especially about coastal fleet, while statistics will never show it, just because there are too few people playing them.
It’s also interesting if AI controlled vessels data is considered during BR changes, if it’s, then nations like France and Italy (Japan at lesser degree) have close to 0 chance for br to be changed, because even smart AI rarely (almost never, probably due to some assigned order) use vessels of these nations.

oh yeah Im glad I have the stormer HVM and the ADATS

Assuming that was identical the Mig-23BN in the German tree. I dont entirely see how. Considering we already have the Jaguar GR1 and could get the TSR2 for about that BR as well

For the 9.0-10.0 part of the tree. I think its actually not too bad, but in desperate need of bug fixes like the 2-3 year old reports for SRAAM.

After that, aircraft like the Gnat and Hawk would round that part of the tree out nicely.

The actual weakspot in the TT imo, is the lack of an F-5/Mig-21 equivalent supersonic dogfighter for 10.7 ish. But for that I would suggest something like the SA Mirage IIIE or SA Cheatah rather than anything from India. Either that or a SARH slinging Hawk as it would have PD but be sub-sonic at the lower BR
