Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Ok then, but that is just one vehicle. Why can’t the Boeing F-15SA go to the US tree? If you’d like I can post pictures of a USAF F-15SA

Yeah SK most likely. Unfortunately for some, Australia and Canada will likely just be split. Hopefully Canada goes more to UK though when necessary.

Why not just has a USAF F-15SA then?

I’m fine with that tbh, has a cool orange camo. As long as they model it with extra weight from telemetry equipment removed

Could have the Saudi spec camo default and USAF test camo unlockable

TBH they’re both mostly British but Australia is more so, there is only 1 Aussie vehicle not in the British tree as opposed to 5 Canadian ones

Funnily enough that 1 Aussie vehicle is an M1A1

Yeah, I don’t think the UK tree will actually have any need for Australian stuff though. Super hornet kind of pointless when you have eurofighter. With Chally 3 production, Aussie SEPv3 is also fairly pointless

If UK had to have both super and regular hornets, CF-188 to UK, Australian F-18C to US, Australia super hornet to UK is how I would do it

I mean you can make the argument that the Super Hornet is more pointless when you have a Super Hornet… and F-15, and F-16.

Also, AFAIK the Chally underperforms in War Thunder so having a more “Meta” tank would be nice for the British tree

The Challenger 2 is only underperforming because of how Gaijin modelled it. In reality it’s not too much worse than the Abrams and Leopard 2, and should be able to easily compete with them in almost every scenario.

Except for going from point A to point B

It’s a bit slower in a straight line, yes.

It shouldn’t actually be as slow as it is from what I know, only slightly slower than other tanks

I am not asking for an Australian super hornet to the US tree, just saying that if it HAD to come to UK that’s how it should be done

Idk it’s pretty dang slow. Weaker engine until quite recently I think in UK service at least, and very heavy

Not to the point that it should be struggling to get to speed, though.

off road speed should be the same as Abrams, but it’s the top speed on road that is low, not the overall acceleration

South Korea would be very much not minor, the K2 Black Panther would blow everything out of the water if added now and honestly might not be added until we are in the prototype stages of the game.

Don’t believe me? This is it after eating an APFSDS shell with 650mm of pen

It also has some ERA that is better than Kontakt-5 and a soft kill APS

South Korea would have a similar number of vehicles as Israel, so having it with North Korea as the secondary nation like Taiwan is to China would be nice.

I know, I’d personally like to see a combined Korea tree, but it feels more likely that S.Korea becomes a US subtree unfortunately, given that India was seen as not enough for a full tree

Tbh there is no perfect place for it.

Japan is very sketchy for reasons

US is just a weird place to put it that really doesn’t need it

China is a strange fit but does need to be supplemented, although a good deal of that can be done domestically

A United Korea tree would be best
