Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

In game classifications are mostly gameplay specific. Not real life classifications in all cases.

Why is it that real life classification aren’t used?

But why is Ki-61-I hien interceptor ingame?
While its fighter in real life.

The maximum speed of the Ki-201 is 852 km/h, the T-33A is 970 km/h. Compared to 985 km/h for the F-84G

Firstly, real world classifications can be very dependent on who you ask. Many different nations can classify the same tank / aircraft differently. Even then, often the real world classification does not define the gameplay role or need in game. Which is the intention of such classifications and conventions in game.

There is also the SP element for certain classes too.

I really want the MKI, I don’t care if it makes me a hypocrite or the root of all evil. I like it as Su-30M’s are my favourite flanker line and secondly I want it.

Thing looks cool, and the latest upgrades make it more NATO standardised and just really cool.

Then why is the FRS1/FRS1e considered a strike aircraft? Its Britains only fighter between 9.7-12.0 and given the performance of Jaguar Gr1A and Buc S2B at the same BR, the FRS1 makes a pretty poor strike aircraft. Having it actually a fighter would be a huge boost in GRB because of the SP cost associated with it

Not explicitly relevant but a great example of this is the designation ‘Battlecruiser’ as opposed to ‘Fast Battleship’, Royal Navy buffs will argue with US Navy buffs about it for hours on end despite them describing the same basic premise of vehicle.

Where did you get this information? The Ki-201 was better armed than the Kikka.

This can be alleviated by either using only one nation’s/source’s classifications or using only the origin nation of each vehicle’s classifications.

This can be alleviated by making the in-game classification not change anything for the game, and make things like SP cost and whether it has things like scout drones and artillery determined on a case-by-case basis rather than the vehicles class.

Guys, I would ask that these discussions about Ki-201 and other non topic relevant vehicles be taken elsewhere. There are appropriate topics for this to be discussed. This is not one of them.

Which will cause even more reports and debate than there currently is as the system in game is purely gameplay related. As such, there are no plans for this for now.


In Wiki it shows its fighter.
But ingame the same aircraft is classified as interceptor. I also didnt found any of this in changelogs.

This is nothing new. A couple of Japanese planes have the wrong classification.

Fighter getting airspawn. Yeah as japanese main i dont complain but from other perspective its unfair.

Anything on the missing MAW which was mentioned in the KFIR C.10 blog?

Is there any plan to reconsider som vehicles’ BR that have significant changes? Such As F84F, 4050 and R2Y2, which were removed air respawn but still stay at the same BR.

Iam very pleased that the Japan mains and its Big suggestion creators are raising their voice over the lack of WW2 content and i hope that we will see a few of their sugestions this year.
While i know that creating new models and gathering data takes some time and we need to add minor nation tax on it aswell, i ask me why cant they add in the meantime the few japanes planes already existing in other Nations for japan (Ki 43 III, Ki 45 hei/tei) or add the planes wich are to 90% C&P but with minor to none model changes and some larger changes in their weapons and ordanance (A6M5-S, J1N1-S, A6M3 with Typ 2 30mm, etc)
This would require just minimum work and would make us Jap mains happy until the bigger additions.

Well i say godbye for Today

I think only Russian use r-37 right? I think they should be the only ones to get it, so there is a reason to get the Russian Su-30’s
