Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Well anticipated additions such as F/A-18C(USN, FiAF, SchLuft), Su-30, J-11B/BS and EFT etc, and as he described, probably sub-objectives for ARB.

Challenger 2 is correct, Leopard 2 isnt

With them now hitting, it would be good to see.

It is also broken, its body should have the same texture as the ERA

For the last update, I collected a few of the latest rumors and kept them in an updated post throughout the thread.

I’ll try to do the same this time, so that people new to the thread can get an idea about the latest rumors and leaks. This will only include rumors that are possible inclusions for the coming update, so any long-term leaks that have a timeframe beyond the next update (Eurofighter, F-22A) are not included.

“Leaked” information is only included if it comes from a reliable source such as Gszabi99, Olivia, or Yukari33.

Rumored Features

The December update/fifth major update often contains new vehicle classes or new nations/tech trees-- this does not guarantee that this will be included, but is worth keeping in mind.

Anti-radiation missiles, hinted by Gaijin video team

SEAD game mode/mission type, datamined, plus datamines of launchers/targets

Submarines, many related datamines and additions recently, including ASW weapons and submarine spawns on naval maps

Poland/Eastern Europe Independent Tech Tree, leaked

ASEAN subtree for China or Japan, leaked

Oil slicks for destroyed vehicles in Naval mode, datamined

Rumored Vehicles

F/A-18 Hornet, leaked multiple times, specifically for Germany through Switzerland, though Smin says if the Hornet would come, it would come to the US (perhaps multiple nations at once? Seems likely)

FB-10 SPAA for China, missiles datamined

JDS Yubetsu, leaked

IAR 93B, engines datamined, player model in progress by NovA

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything and I’ll update the post/repost to include it

ERA camo net texture was added by user. Its not what actual model represents

Hope for Decemeber update:

Air

  • Mountain of bug reports to be fixed and finished
  • Hopefully Typhoon, if not then hopefully something good/interesting like the Hawk
  • ARM or ASMs or CBUs would be cool

Ground

  • Top tier SPAA
  • Challenger 2 Bug fixes

Naval

  • HMS Warspite/Queen Elizabeth or HMS Rodney/Nelson
  • Type 42 Destroyer

So the repulse now instead of G3M1s has to deal with exocets?

Probably. Though my desire for ASMs is more for Sim than naval

Its a 2D texture

Would be reasonable

Speaking of Repulse… is it really not meant to have any outer/sloped deck armor at all? Or is it just a Gaijin shenanigan?

I don0t know which case would be sadder lmao


I think this was discussed in the Britain naval thread. Basically the spaghetti code cant handle all her armour, so its all simplifed down into structural armour or something

Debris has been added, while I’m unsure about oil

Gunna need that modeled before they add Bismark so we can find her :P

This is such a strange thing… what good is the armor viewer for if it won’t display critical armor elements?

Gaijin at their finest

Doesn’t change the fact that the skin texture from the WT market (maybe you’re talking about WT live) is not displayed correctly in the game

yea no , wait 2 week first than you can put that on
