It doesn’t have the long range CAS capabilities of the AMX or A-6E, so it’s more of a 10.0 or even 9.7
Not at all. Just a multiple hour back and forth about a nation we have not announced, hinted, indicated and that there is no evidence to support is coming is not needed here. There are other more appropriate topics to discuss and express opinion on new nations that does not need to derail this thread for others.
All of those blow up 9/10 times because their ammo is exposed even if you only load the racks to 1/4th of their capacity, Alaska is barely a glass canon and the only ship capable of firing more than 1 salvo per minute and Mississipi, the best of the bunch (still with an eternal reload), is a limited event vehicle…
Meanwhile Germany has Scharnhorst, the second best warship ever made by Germany only behind the Bismarck Class, and not one, but TWO Bayern-class ships, which are essentially mini-Bismarcks…
From what I’ve seen it’s got mavericks. Then again, I’ve not seen a photo of that to confirm it’s genuine so i’ll defer to you on that.
The trouble is if it gets given very capable A/A, like, for instance, Magic 2s, then that’ll kick it up in BR needlessly. Then again split BRs will be a thing soon so maybe I’ll eat my words there.
I understand your point… however we have a leak (still very poor, I accept it)
I can say that the rumor I’ve heard is that one of the premiums in this update will be used to test the waters for a potential future subtree. I would take that to mean that most likely next candidate for a subtree would be either: Canada, Turkey, or whichever SEA nation comes to a potential Leo 2 should the 2TR be delayed. Of course, this is assuming it’s a ground tree. Which I believe Gaijin usually works up first.
Which doesn’t say anything about a new nation.
Wishlist?! With all the evidence we saw? It’s not
Well, for starters, the Alpha Jet had no targeting pod. While yes, Magic 2s would put it to 10.7 at least, it doesn’t have to have access to those ingame, AIM-9Gs would suffice for the german one and I am sure they could use Magic 1s on the french one
Taking “leaks” with anything less than a pinch of salt is… inadvisable at best
I mean hype and all but… yeah well
He kind of did say no. Since leaks are just rumors and hearsay until Gaijin makes an official announcement.
In which case for the sakes of balance i’d throw it to 9.7 straight off the bat, unless what i’ve seen about Mavs is correct.
It’d be teetering on 9.3/9.7 based off performance but maybe 10.0 with a decent fit.
just about a canadian leopard, where people fight over uk or germany and the peaceful option being a canada tree which people are just wishlistening

2 Su-25s, a MiG-27K and MiG-29SMT not enough? I get none of them have thermal TGP but considering night battles can be turned off and scouting/marking upon hit exists it’s a workable optic system
Even now gajin forgot or lazy add targeting pod on MiG-29SMT (9-19) 😞 😢
But gajin could add new attack aircraft to early rank 8 for USA tech tree this year ?
In the future gajin might consider new Mirage 2000D for france ?
Yes, it was always a weak signal, probably strengthened further by our desires. I guess Smin is right.
It’s funny that Smin has 0 problems with discussing the Chinese leak list here (completely legitimate source of rumors) but when it comes to discussing the possible appearance of a new nation tree it’s immediately qualified as a “made up” thing :D
that raises some questions, is that leaker employed by gaijin or what?
ok guys, I guess Canada has been denied.
Also, there are still Hungarian plans (much more likely than Canada at this point)
And finally, the different variant of the British heli still forces us to take this leak with great caution. At best, I would say we might see only a few vehicles, of those listed.
I love and hate “changes of plans”
The leak list doesn’t say there will be a new nation. That part is made up by people here, hence why its being shut down.
How it been denied?
We have open-ended info mix that with things we know are coming and past(but somewhat recent) statements by Gaijin it fits a perfect hole we have.
Mix that in with other oddities that line up with past events and we get here.
But at the end of the day, it is still speculation and I’ll admit that.
