the leak was from a reliable source yes, but reliable sources can and frequently are wrong
By who?
And where was it confirmed?

so it’s an unconfirmed leak?
Issue is many(all) of these nations have options.
Sure they might not all be top tier, just because they don’t make as much nowadays mean they should get nothing.
They could get one of the many missing WW2 vehicles or early-mid cold war stuff skipped for the big name stuff. Or at worse C&P as I know many nations are missing C&P stuff that was mainstay of the nation.

My biggest issue with that argument is that its not universal.
Royal Navy should be the biggest tree by far, but we have joint fewest Rank VI ships in the game, heck, we have less than the soviets. A nation not really known for their maritime history.
I also would argue that if you look at every BR and not just top tier, then nations like Britain and France can easily match the number of additions the US gets on the regular basis for at least the next few years without running out of things to add
This is what our air tree could be like:

Im not going to tell you who because he told me that in confidence, but that and the planning for an economy nerf next year are true. He expressed frustration the community would fall for gaijins lying clean-up denials so easily.

Seriously, anyone at Gaijin who thinks an econ nerf is a good idea is an idiot. They should know what will happen if they nerf it.

you’re missing the forest for the trees here.
The issue isn’t the US gets a lot of “X” because it made a lot of “X”
it’s that other nations that also made a lot of “X” don’t get a lot of “X”
France for example has a SLEW of light tanks, IFVs that they’ve manufactured since the cold war. Yet somehow their first 2 and only in game IFVs were in the form of a premium, and a squadron tank that’s not even french.

Yeah, the situation of the British Navy is… odd.
Gaijin is literally going to give Russia a Revenge-Class before giving U.K a Queen Elizabeth lmao (no, event vehicles don’t count).
Also, Barham has an EXTREMELY GIMPED survivability because her draft is comically shallow…
Germany got THREE (3) Bayern-Class ships before U.K got a single ship of the class Bayern was meant to be a counterpart of on the researchable tree…
And, as you said, the fact that the Russian tree is one of the best ingame even though it was the weakest in real life is comical, hahah.
But ever since I started joining matches on the CIS region servers, and I’ve noticed that I see more Izmails, Kommunas, Mariyas, Poltavas and Kronshtadts than all other ship classes from all other nations combined over there… I can imagine that’s why Gaijin is so… proactive with the Russian bluewater tree.

And your point is?
That is why Chinese TT does not have a consultant at all, even for Taiwan. Plus the classified docs are for the early prototypes not suitable for combat. J-8F is a similar case which possibly also resulted in the K2K losing its sparrows.

Which is the real issue. Gaijin prioritises the trees that are popular, often to the detriment of the other trees. Which does make a certain degree of sense and wouldnt necessarily be an issue if the additions the minor nations got were really good and polished. But alas, they are rarely either.
Problem is that they go too far and often push players away from the minor nations more often than not

This is in regards to Top Tier air, since everyone rages at U.S “because they get so many jets while no one else gets as many”.
Which fighter jets, leaving aside Eurofighter, could, for example, U.K get? Or Germany? Etc.
They are getting Eurofighter now that the time is ripe; but what could they possibly have been getting this whole time people were raging at U.S for getting multiple F-14/15/16s while U.K and Germany weren’t getting more than they did?

Even for the soviets the archangelsk is hardly something better. Novossyrisk features Italian 320mm with good pen and ballistics, kronstadt is weak on guns but balances its mobility and armor well. It is about the action itself rather than the ships capabilities. Royal soverign or any R class wouldve been helpful but they are nowhere to be seen.
Its more quantity than quality, though do you remember how broken Kronstadat was for years?
UK just got its third Rnak VI ship, Soviets are probably going to get their 5th this update. Kinda insane to me that the UK doesnt have at least as many if not more (though really no excuse for them to not be near equal in count)
This also ends up feeding into the BR issues.
Lack of any additions push people always from those nations leaving only the most dedicated and in turn skilled people playing.
This leaves vehicle equal/counterparts of eachother nearly a full BR apart or more. So even at the smallest case the “major nation” vehicle would be at 3.7 well the “minor nation” would be 4.7.
