Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Tbf i didn’t say SA was the perfect child that the glorious snail has blessed upon us peasants. I just said they were the best so far. I agree they definitely have their problems and theres a lot there, but considering the other steaming dumpster fires that are literally every other subtree. SA smells like rainbows compared to them because the quality of them is just that much worse in comparison.

We could get into what makes them worse or i could post my favorite outdated image of the worst best subtree ever added

Can we get more subnations where all their unique vehicles are locked behind paywalls snail? Pretty please?

/this is a joke yet some of you have a hard time reading.

Just change it to the CV9030 from the Swiss.

Germany claims they have the worst IFV the puma and with the 9030 they can have the worst 9.3 IFV to add to their collection.

Gives more choice to what dumpsterfire they want to play.

that is really bad. that almost indian subtree bad (i will not count the lazy ass strela or osa addition)

There is one unique plane the Fokker in the TT, though now i guess the worst 14.0 in game the oldest late model F-18 from 1994. So a crown made of garbage for the worst vehicles ever thrown into a single air TT.

Seriously Finland shouldve been left as a premium only nation given they have more unique vehicles as event/prem than actual TT.

Now add Denmark so i can play the only nation i need. (Copium 100%)

Tbf the list is missing the event Finnish planes amd the J35XS or you know, the only good Draken. So yeah in one update they added more premium unique finnish planes than what was added to the TT.

Fire and Ice, 1 unique TT aircraft Fokker,
2 unique aircaft prem, Premium Fokker with 20mm and Saab 35XS

having all of scandi in one tree does make perfect sense ngl.

a premium only nation would just be sad af tho

Tbf we have a lot of prem only type nations, Norway is one but tbf neither Norway nor Denmark are listed as confirmed trees for sweden. Given sweden still lacks a 5th air line a combined line would actually fix a lot of holes including the lack of a non braincell killing blackhole called Rank 6 sweden. Of all the air nations ive played ive accepted i will never spade them less i want to commit die lol.

(Also Danish Spitfire at 5.x would give sweden an actual 5.x aircraft since they have none. Pls snail i beg)

Though italy prior to having anything but F104 comes as an honorable mention.

When Denmark gets added i can officially quite playing Svenska vehicles and just focus on home stuff, still hoping for Afghan use CV9035’s since cage armor is cool looking.

Denmark has a lot of cool stuff like phoenix talked about the spitfires, and later on a wide range of F-16s(Blk5/Blk15/Blk15MLU), plus they got the very unique J35 upgrade that gets I think more flares and, not that big of a deal, bombs

The F-X or more accurate to say DMU designs did have unique components for the design built which technically means they are plausible.

Fuselage, engine, radar, TVC, weapons bay all built and tested

Not saying they would add it but they technically could. They would just have to pick the most realistic design. X-2 and its DMU designs are essentially Japans EAP

Probably more real than F-16AJ XD

Thats honestly quite a low bar.

A paper airplane with Japanese markings thrown by a Japanese air force pilot is more real than the F-16AJ.

A paper airplane made out of the brochure for the F-16AJ :P

Anything is really, they chose to use the name of a real yet paper project for a made up variant that hasn’t existed before Gaijin thought it up.

X wing?

Funnily enough yes. Both are designs made up by entertainment companies, but at least the X Wing is old enough to be considered history.

Spoiler

That being said F-16AJ is still loosely based on a real design. It’s horribly inaccurate in the historical context, but at least the F-16 airframe really exists.

Maybe we could get some proper East Asian maps. Maybe a few more Chinese maps, mainly ground maps. Battle of Taierzhuang would be great for an urban city map. Otherwise there is a lot of variety in landscape for China which will go well for a variety of Chinese maps.
Perhaps even a better Korean map besides the 38th Parallel. I mean, MASH is still on cable, if you want inspiration, just watch MASH and you’ll have a map to use.
There should be more Vietnam maps. I’m sorry, but the most influential war during the Cold War should be represented better than just somewhat city, somewhat swamp. We could easily have city maps like Sài Gòn, Hà Nội, and even Huế, or we can even just steal the BO1 tank map with all the trenches and the weird Vietnamese Banzai charge that feels like it was cut from World at War. The name of the mission escapes me, but I am sure one of you can name it. While we are at it, we could have a Tết map, where the city is littered with abandoned parade floats, confetti, and costumes, with the faint sounds of Hát Tường. They’re Communists now, their music should theoretically be free to the public.
More Pacific War maps. I want more palm trees, I want more rain storms, I want the map to have multiple islands, with three objectives on three different islands, and the only way to cross is either through a bridge where you’ll get sniped, or through water, where you are severely slowed. Did I mention I want palm trees, tall grass, and water?
Speaking of Japanese aggression, why not a British Burma/Malaysia map? Why not more India maps? Why not a Kashmir map? We could have a Himalayan map.
We could also have a Cambodian map, since that was a hot spot for bombing (America) and invasions (also America, but Việt Nam also invaded to stop Cambodians from being themselves). We could also do Laos as well.

See, so many East Asian maps. We don’t need obscure Greek maps, and terrible remodels of established maps.

Well, I got nothing anymore…

Plus the X-Wing genuinely makes more sense in Star Wars than Gaijin’s F-16AJ would in the competition the real AJ proposal was historically made for.

F 35 didn’t just carry bombs but RB75 or AGM65A, essentially it would be like the Swiss Hunter but with bombs added on but from what i know we used 9E with the early model that carried the AGM’s but i may be wrong. AIM-9N is a weird name as ive seen both 9P3 and 9E mentioned when talking about 9N.

Would be a lower BR AJ37 which honestly would be better, worse speed and flight performance but much better at its job as CAS. Internal gun, flares, chaff, can use missiles and bombs(more importantly though it can use its AGM’s and missiles at the same time) and actually useful bombs over the 250kg bombs the AJ37 has. Its arguably one of the most unique Drakens as its the only one that specializes so much in the CAS area. For A2A the J35ÖE would probably be a better pick but for CAS the Bomber Draken is definitely a weird role to fill.

Realistically we could have a 80s model and 90s model with Ferranti LRMTS and upgraded RWR and liquid crystal display. It would be the most advanced in terms of its cockpit if added.
