I agree with you. Knowing Gaijin, all I can think of is a lazy move to make a quick buck. I mean, these are the same guys who invented an F-16 for Japan with the same childish rationale and are now trying to add another 2A4 to the 10.7 routine.
I would have preferred an improvement to the Vextra reload and putting it in 10.3/10.7. Not all nations always had a premium MBT at the top level to grind their TT (until recently, Italy had the Centauro and Sweden the CV90105, and both sold well).
The lineup excuse is ridiculous; the Merkava 2D never had a lineup, and the 2PL squadron went years without one, and no one cared. You can put a Leclerc with OFL 120 G1 in 11.3 and then create a premium clone with some cool camouflage and that’s it.
At least give DM43 to the 2A4NL and the Swedish 2A4 and put them in 11.3… Germany has lost its identity, and France is even worse.
I get where you are coming from, that side of the argument is also really valid.
For me premiums are 90% just a means to an end. Before I start a tree I usually have a vehicle in said tree that I really want, like the Leclerc and future EBRC Jaguar for France for me.
So the premium I buy has only 1 purpose: get me to those vehicles as fast as possible. So if I know that the premium vehicle is really solid and if I know for sure I can do well in it that is the best for me.
It’s incredibly clear that premium MBTs sell better than premium LTs though, the only clear exception is the 2S38.
" Great observation — the reason the two inner bars are sometimes missing in the generated images is due to how image generation interprets visual cues. The model tends to simplify or misinterpret elements like closely spaced vertical bars, especially when there’s a character interacting with them. It may merge or omit those bars to focus on the face and hands.
If you’d like, I can regenerate the card and specifically prompt for four vertical jail bars, with two of them gripped by the character — that should give a result closer to the original Monopoly card. Would you like me to do that?"
Gaijin devs can you please stop giving me crewlock penalty because a teammate killed me whilist i was in VR heli? (I have to wait 8-6 minutes everytime this happens)
any word on the aesa radar for the rafale? TWS is really lacking sometimes, and any news on the meteor? Surely that will never come, it would completely dominate top tier.
Yea but it would make a change. The M829A3 is designed to deal with T series tanks equipped with kontakt 5. Somthing that as we see at top tier the M829A2 struggles with. So why not give it to the M1 and put it on a level playing field. Russia has there best dart why not give the us its best?
The Meteor will more than likely come to the game when we get to the point where missiles like the PL-15, AIM-120D-3, R-77M, etc. can come with it.
We don’t even have the AIM-120C-5 yet, although it’s likely close to being added (even if it isn’t needed). And once the AIM-120C-5 comes to the game Gaijin should go about ungimping other missiles like the MICA and AAM-4.
After that whole debacle, we’re still not going to get Meteors for a long time. There’s no telling when the AIM-120C-7/8 would come to the game since there’s no equivalent to it that doesn’t woefully surpass it.
Once Gaijin figures out what to do with that (ie. gimp or ignore the 120C-7/8), then they can start looking at Meteor equivalents. Which, mind you, won’t be necessary at all until Gaijin fundamentally reworks Air RB and SB and the maps we have present. The maps are simply too small, and the gamemodes are simply not designed for 200km Fox-3s.
However, after ALL that, we can finally get to Meteor-equivalent missiles. These would include:
I agree with most of that but Israel’s M60s and M48s are super fun. They are definitely different feeling compared to the American ones. For example you get a dm23 and 33 equivalent pretty early on plus towards the end you get dm63 105 which is fantastic. Where as the us M60s are stuck with M774(which they shouldn’t be using. It should be M833) which is more like DM23 and it’s kinda garbage at 9.0 not to mention the Israeli tanks get better engines and add on armor which does help a lot. Plus you don’t have that stupid raised coupola.
