Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Yeah, looking at subtrees now I’m just disappointed.

When they were first announced with South Africa I was really excited about the concept, then immediately confused by the implementation. And now over the years I feel like they’ve shown more and more that subtrees are the perfect example for a great concept with absolutely horrible implementation.

They could work, they could be really great, but right now they just seem like cheap band-aids that somehow manage to hurt all nations involved.

Yeah, but first, they actually need to add content.
E.G. Japan got added in 2016, so 2 and a half years after the main 3. Yet is still lacking around 200 vehicles behind.
Every other nation besides US, DE, RU and GB need overall more vehicles.

Amount of vehicles per nation:

  • US - 426
  • DE - 431
  • RU - 461
  • GB - 377
  • JP - 287
  • ZH - 179
  • IT - 261
  • FR - 268
  • SWE - 162
  • ISR - 93

I’m just saying that a major ww2 naval power+ Thailand should not be limited to 2 coastal lines.

Same goes with France+Benelux and Italy+Hungary+Romania

This also reminds me, I don’t think we have any naval content from subtree nations so far. Here’s hoping this changes for Thailand, naval is easily the best source for unique Thai content.

BeNeLux.
Their navy was one of the biggest during WWII, yet, no ship in sight.

Plenty of Romanian and Hungarian boats too (not even counting Austria-Hungary which would add quite a bit)

Yeah, BeNeLux was another pretty sad subtree…

They have tons of potential, even to the point of really popular independent tree suggestions, but now they are sort of reduced to one line in another nations tree (only one line shader by two nations…) alongside the usual lazy choices for vehicles skipping over most of the unique ones.

Yeah, i bet the unique ones will be behind a paywall to create FOMO.

Not counting any passed vehicles

Yeah, and thats not even all. Since a lot of vehicles were left out because they were just the exact name but then with another number on the ship.

EDIT:

Did you also include submarines?
Because we had plenty of them as well.

3 Likes

Yeah its either that or SEAD(though less so) is my bet for controversial additions next patch

Though hopefully they actually add interesting vehicles for the Thai ground line and not just a few pattons and a scorpion with the 2-3 interesting/unique additions being at the end of the tree, locked behind a paywall or turn into an event.

I bet that thats going to happen.

Nah just ripped the stuff off the suggestion forums, but yeah, Benelux could’ve given a nice batch of subs as well.

Instead we get another copy paste M44

ah, oke, this one or the old one?

Current

Old one IIRC is way bigger.

given what happened with Finland, Benelux and India… yeah its probably going to.

on that note i am not to excited for the future swiss ground tree either.

One Patton. One Scorpion. Neither will get any of the Thai modifications.

I cant wait for them to bring the trend of screwing over US light tanks to Japan by making the Stingray an event vehicle.
