I believe theres effectively 3 models that gaijin can add to the game, 1 with non AB engines, 1 with AB engines, 1 with a different engine set going above mach speed?
Though looking at the A6… well… GL lol.
I don’t think so, it has been said many times that Indian vehicles go to the UK.
The Marut was designed in Argentina, even completing wind tunnel testing. Germany should get this “very early” wooden miniature version lol
This would be the first case of an Indian vehicle another nation would want…
I’ll just say two things:
There’s always a first time
Dreaming costs nothing.
I think its the pulpui thats going to be the event. It is based on the ta 183 and german mains are really obsessed with wunderwaffe
Plus iirc Germany hasnt got an event vehicle in a while, it was IL-IT-FR-SW-UK-CN/IL/JP-IT-USSR-UK-US for like the past half year
Edit: we have came full circle beginning at the F-14A IRIAF event without Germany, so thats a bigger reason i guess

Are there more such artists on WT Live, that make Models that might come later?
I’m not a developer of course, but:
If it wasn’t Kurt Tank, I would have preferred
Willi Messerschmitt with his Helwan HA-300 (Which was completely German, although in the service of Spain/Egypt)

I hope they don’t jump. I’m expecting the next additions to be NoCal and Richelieu as good entry points to the interwar era, KGV I also expect but the UK doesn’t need it yet it just needs the existing ships to get buffed where appropriate and historical.

I’m not sure I understand your point. I know very well that it is a Tank design. I was referring to how Gaijin usually comments on his plans in advance, always trying to avoid a stir.

I’d expect Tosa personally. Perhaps might be better than Nagato though as Amagi already has nutty armour for no apparent reason. Tosa is the same but with 2" thicker belt. Nagato improved all the armour a lot but you get to a point where good armour is good armour it doesn’t matter how much better it is when one has an extra turret and the same guns.
Developers love to insert a historical block into the announcement of a vehicle. My comment is exactly about this
It’s possible, however, the 1937 update of the Nagato was brutal, extensive, and deep. It was the best Japanese ship until the arrival of the Yamato. The other option is for Tosa to arrive at the TT and gaijin sell the modernized Nagato as a premium vehicle.

I am aware the Nagato refit was ridiculous (makes sense as it was their first blatant step into ignoring the Treaties which the Nagato’s had already been completely unaffected by unless you count cruisers with funnily interchangeable turrets). That said. I think an Amagi with 2" more armour might edge its way ahead of Nagato refit simply due to having more guns and similarly capable armour.
Both would be formidable ships but I think i’m more worried about Tosa than Nagato.

Given India presents within the game and is growing I still think it’s the HF-24, if it was German then the dev’s would of said one of the most famous German aircraft designers Kurt tank. But no they went with HIM instead and didn’t give Germany any mention here.

Makes me wonder though, what BR will it sit at if so ^^
I agree with you actually, I mentioned the same thing a few comments ago.
However, they haven’t announced any vehicles yet, it was just a preview of their plans. That’s what I meant, although it’s just my own interpretation.
I also think the Marut is very likely, since its model is already done.
That said, Marut it’s the only Tank models that hasn’t been added yet and doesn’t belong to the German tech tree. All the other Tank models should go to Germany. That’s what I meant when I said that maybe, by mentioning Tank, there’s a higher chance it’s something for Germany. But again, that’s just my interpretation.

I also think the Naval reward is German as you clearly want people to grind these bigger and more iconic ships, what better way to get people to grind them by adding a event one too.
The CM disclosure does specify iconic. The Tosa class isn’t exactly iconic, or known for their role as battleships. Plus the turrets on Amagi are specifically the post-rebuilt Nagato turrets and not the ones she was supposed to have (although funny enough the rebuilt turrets on Nagato and Mutsu were taken from Tosa and Kaga). I think they already have a Nagato model ready and she should be expected first.

idk if this is weird to say but I have like zero interest in the Marut like I looked into it and idk its very meh?
I agree it could be the German Navy. Do you have anything in mind? Gneisenau or a Deutschland class ship?
The only reason we had the Mutsu was because the Nagato will be coming in its final configuration. And it must come before or together with the Bismarck, not after. To be honest, Bismarck is already around the corner.
