It would way too funny if that domestic SPAA was 5.3 as well
The Vilkas has HEI-T, that is just as good as, if not even better than AHEAD
Agreed.
The test flight maps are cool but there’s a huge difference in quality between them, with some even having features that others don’t. And all of them suffer from having a poor selection of targets so they’re not great at actually training you in combat scenarios at all.
The added options Smin mentioned will be hugely helpful.
It’s possible but not exactly concrete evidence.
It is confirmed to be a regional subtree, not just Thailand, so we can expect multiple nations. My guess would be Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, which would make the tree about similar in potential to Britain with South African and Indian subtrees, and would be a good analogue to Chinas planned multi nation subtree that was also confirmed recently.
Not sure about air or ground being first though. On one hand ground has the most space as of now, but air is the one specifically addressed…
On the China topic though, that is another option that could be soon. It is very much possible Gaijin will add their subtree first to try and manage their response to a Japanese subtree.

Yep it been this way for far too long I’m glad it’s finally getting an update
Also something to add to that list, cockpit MFD improvements. Smin doesn’t say when they will be coming but has said that they will in the future
Honestly when I’m not grinding for a vehicle in RB I’m spending 20% of my time in Air Sim and 80% just flying about in Test Flights having my own fun. Test flights are just more engaging than ARB right now.

I’ll put it in the rumored section since it’s not confirmed to be coming this update.
I assume F/A-18A (USN) spec from mid 80’s not armed AIM-9M Sidewinder & AIM-7M Sparrow but before operation desert shield & operation desert storm
F/A-18C Early from USN retain AN/APG-65 radar, General Electric F404-GE-400 engine and countermeasures AN/ALE-39 like F/A-18A capability of using GBU-10/12/16 Paveway II & GBU-24B/B Paveway III laser guided bomb, AIM-9M Sidewinder and AIM-7M Sparrow in operation desert storm. And RWR AN/ALR-67(V)2
The F/A-18 that was datamined last update was the Swiss F/A-18.
However, Smin noted in the previous rumor round-up thread that when the F/A-18 comes, it would not come to Germany before anyone else.
This would imply that the F/A-18 will be added to multiple nations to represent the many operators it had IRL.
Exactly what variants of the F/A-18 would come are unknown, but it’s safe to assume that early variants all the way up to the F/A-18C would be fair game as they are similar in capability to jets already in the game.

By Gszabi, through datamines.
Not much of a datamine when it only came in a leak list
At the end of the day I still think China needs no subtree. There should be indegnious designs to fit every BR at every role at like 7.0 above. But gaijin decides so idk.
Indeed.
None of these were datamined, none of these are or were in the public files in any shape or form. They were leaked.

Weren’t they on your website though?
EDIT: duh, that list says datamines excluded. My apologies
Forgive me If I’ve misunderstood, I’ll correct that right away

Honestly this is probably only done to manage their reaction to the Japanese subtree which is planned in the future
China kinda needs sub trees for naval

What sub tree for Naval is going to give China competitive WW2 ships though?

Again, I have said multiple times, the current consensus was to give Japan a VT4. This then allows players who does not know how bad the Chinese top tiers get a feeling when they are compared to actually decent tanks like the type 10. There are way too much praise on reddit and other forums, thinking it is better than T-80BVM. The “rework” was limited and did not affect the WZ and VT4 as well.
In actual gameplay, it is inferior to pretty much any tank, except for the bottom 3: CR2, C1 and MK4M, and even those has some attributes. Except the CR2 that is beyond salvage. Most players were deceived into thinking the tanks are good for WT because they have superior handling - both in gun and mobility, not only to Russian tanks, but also to quite a lot of western designs. But this cannot mitigate the fact that it has subpar firepower(second/third worst in top tier), and much questionable surviability.
This is of course they think it is a T-72 ripoff which is obviously infuriating.
