Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Sure hope so… Now it’s just full on C&P with exception of the Stingray and Oplot.
More effort should be put towards the Japanese TT as its one of the last unique TT’S out there…

C&P isn’t what I was on about, I just hoping there more than the 5 that were tease, either C&P or unique

Ah, oké. Well… we have to wait and find out i guess…
Do hope its unique, because Thailand has more unique then C&P stuff…

… I’d give a non-insignificant quantity of internal organs for the Thai FV101

I always wondered how exactly you guys go through it all, if its a “one and done” or a “keep reading through and check if anything gets popular or was missed that could work”. Nice to see a bit of info ^^

Now I just hope that my upd00ted Strikemaster suggestion in there goes though this time (I may or may not suggest it every time xD)

Passed to devs 8 years ago. I hate to be that guy, but something tells me Gaijin isn’t adding it.

Yeah, Thai 1 for Japan (iirc it has a LRF right) and also a UK/export version IDK, Oman or something which has a LRF (I am pretty sure it got 1, or some did in order to support the MBTs) would be peak funi artillery moment on bigger maps seeing Scorpions just plinking away at each other from 2km and counting to 10 seconds or something xD.

@Smin1080p_WT , a somewhat different question, one you may not have an answer to and that’s OK:

What is the perspective on the development team on the balance of Coastal vessels? I know a lot of players aren’t satisfied with their performance versus Bluewater vessels of similar BR or the economics of researching them. Is this something that is being evaluated and considered for changing?

I don’t actually whether it had a LRF or not, but Thailand modified theirs with SELEX Galileo STAWS; now Type 21s (FV101s) have Thermal sights, but also an engine upgrade.

Passed to Devs means literally nothing lmao

No idea about the Omani one, but the Emerati ones had the TLS of chieftain fame.

You can see the gunner operating the LRF in this vid ~0:30

Hopefully this means we should get decent zoom with the Scorpion then

Well either or, one day I hope to have that fun dream of seeing Scorpions plinking low speed HESH balls at each other from opposites sides of a map xD

TBF idk if we even need LRFs, I recon a 5.0 BR would be more than fair for LRF less scorp, not alot has more than 80mm front plates (e.g. 80mm pen hesh should ufp a T-34), and only really the ISs and Tigers have more than 80mm sides.
With a wee reload buff (6 rpm is the official figure) and some extra fragmentation she’ll be dandy

Yes, I was joking. I’ve said before the whole passed for consideration thing is just stupid, gets some people’s hopes up for no reason. I wish they’d use it as a hint of what we could expect in future updates.

Any updates for the f14D?
