With there plans for the addition of a Thailand sub tech tree next update and with the eventual addition of the VT-4 for Japan through Thailand in the future and the remodelling of the autoloader and other electronics/damage models for Chinese vehicles this coming update, could we expect the addition of spall liners for all vehicles in the Chinese TT which historically had them (mainly MBTs) this upcoming update?
China as a TT has been struggling to keep up with things like the Pantsir, Leopard 2A7V and SU-30/Eurofighter and has effectively had the same exact top tier vehicle for more than 3 years now (that being the ZTZ99A) - the addition of spall liners would help bridge this large gap.
Then you clearly haven’t been reading either. Practice what you preach.
Several players here and Reddit are upset about it because of Chinese victory holidays over Japan in August and September. I really don’t understand why Gaijin, a company in Hungary, has to listen to them
There is a very clear difference between China having vehicles it captured and sometimes even used, and a sub-tree handout that was entirely developers discretion. I am surprised you people do not realize this yet.
People’s concerns are valid. Especially considering time frame.
Personally I was not against VT-4, before, and still I am not now. But if developers really intended for it to arrive this update originally, in September. It would sour things out even for me a bit.
People’s concerns are valid, but why only Chinese players?
Why don’t I see people getting upset about the F-18 being added to Germany this summer when the US and Germany were enemies in WW2?? And guess what? The F-18 was teased for Switzerland (Germany) this summer, only a MONTH after Victory in Europe Day!
Show me the quote where an official source says that Japan/Thailand will “never” get the VT4-- which is what your statement was claiming.
This has nothing to do with whether Japan gets a VT4. Plenty of other “unfortunate” timings exist for vehicle releases in War Thunder. But you’re acting like Gaijin is doing this specifically to target China? It’s not like China won’t get any vehicles in the next update, all nations will.
EDIT: yeah I do need to be better @Noveos_Republic , we’re on the same side of the debate lol
You don’t understand what I mean. I’m sorry if I’m being crass, but it annoys me that Gaijin is potentially more willing to kowtow to Chinese sentiments and “unfortunate timings” than other nations. Best way to avoid it is for Gaijin to not listen to anyone and just implement vehicles
Nah all good, I genuinely misunderstood the two points you were making in my original post. And thanks for the source, good to know that this is currently the official stance on Chinese vehicles going to Japan.
I don’t remember who it was, can’t find the message, but whoever said the Stingray is just an XM8, how is that a problem exactly? XM8 got locked behind an unobtainable wall, Stingray will most likely be tech tree, plus it’s a unique design. Absurd.
You’re conveniently leaving out what matters, or straight up ignoring it, to have your ‘point’ make sense to the clueless reader.
There are a few differences, you know, like Japan’s stance (even today!) after all of it versus Germany’s. Or what Japan was (and is) to China then/today versus Germany to US then/today.
These are rather common knowledge. I just refuse to believe you yourself are unaware why that doesn’t apply to this case. I sense ill intent and ill intent only.
