Not just these ranks. Japan needs love from rank I untill VI.
Japan has been implemented in the game since 2016, yet still has a 4 line ground TT, with the exclusion of the recently added 2 Thai vehicles which are in a “new” line. The fith line only has 3 vehicles in it, yet it can be filled with all domestic Japanese vehicles.
Instead, they add lazy C&P, while the current C&P variants weren’t even used by the nation, e.g. M60TTS with the ERA and M163 without VADS.
I’d much rather see the STA-4 and other STA variants being added, along with the dozen SPRG variants and SPH’s that Japan still has to offer.
Overall the whole game needs to be fleshed out everywhere, both in terms of vehicles, game mechanics and others things like nation folders and battle ratings. But no, surely it’s better to push the meta before the previous one is even remotely balanced
Well, looking at GB. They have more vehicles and mechanics then Germany at the moment. So IMHO, they have plenty of content.
GB, RU, DE and the US really don’t need more content.
Nations like Israël, Japan, China and Italy need more content. Sweden and France just need more air and unique designs.
Tbh I don’t even mind major nations getting more content as long as it’s unique, the problem is they keep being fed copypaste while they lack a ton of vehicles they operated… look, usa for example still has no voodoo, no delta dagger, no tech tree and no tech tree drumstick, makes no sense.
But yeah minor nations definitely need more love than major ones
The ones being fed C&P aren’t the major nations. The minor nations are being fed C&P and sometimes much later from when the vehicle in question was added.
With the previous update it was like: “Let’s give the US and M55! Hey these other nations used these too, let’s give them that vehicle as well and call it a day!”.
Which resulted in these other nations not receiving a unique vehicle. Hell, look at BeNeLux. The PZH2000 was added a few updates ago - The Netherlands uses the PZH2000 as well, but didn’t get it.
In the near future, France will get the C&P PZH2000 and not something else/unique.
It ended up being the M60A3 TTS with modifications for ERA (removed turret stowage and handrails, raised smoke launchers), same as the ROC M60A3 TTS. In reality both of these tanks are the same, meaning they now both share the same inaccuracies.
Instead of fixing existing problems they decided that now 2/3 M60A3 TTS being wrong is somehow a good move.
For the M163 it’s even worse, since Thailand never had the base M163, only the M163A1. So the vehicle we got is just entirely ahistorical.
So Gaijin C&P the Thai M60A3 TTS from the ROC M60A3 TTS wich in itself is just a C&P from the American M60A3 TTS despite bouth Thai and ROC having diffrent models in RL due to not possesing the ERA packaged like the American does.
Would have been a C&P from Israels Machbet (- Stingers) not even been closer to what Thailand operates instead the base M163?
The same thing with Hungarian and Israeli Shilkas, both had export ZSU-23-4V1 variant, which is slightly different visually. When I tried to report Hungarian one they answered: “prove that they didn’t also use the variant we have in the game”.
Yes, I am whining about a nation getting a vehicle they never had for no other reason than Gaijin being too lazy to have a model for it made. Especially if it accounts for 1/4 of the subtree that was added in the update.
This is the M163. Take a good look at the radar and sideskirts, they will be important later.
Gunjobs been asked before about Buc S1/S2 & Sea Vixen Napalm bug reports which were submitted on the old system. They are still active reports. Which is actually worse, since they must just be ignoring 3+ year old reports
Whilst I agree in terms of vehicles, we may have more in terms of quantity. In terms of quality, I would disgree
For example:
Air, most of our Rank 8 aircraft have major flaws (the biggest one being the totally fake modeling of BOL) which limits their performance to an annoying degree. Most of them are okay, but a chore to play right now with several still with game breaking bugs that do actually render them pointless to even touch.
Ground, we dont have a single rank 8 worthy vehicle at this time, and half our rank 7s barely work.
naval… is actually okay… but the top tier is unplayable to due to having 10.0 ships at 8.7 rendering 7.7 unplayable which is a real shame. Those were fun ships.
So whilst I agree we dont need anything new specifically, we really need older stuff actually finished and I would be more than happy with having 20+ vehicles overhauled instead of anything new.
(That having been said. Would love for a new game mechanic like ARM or CBUs)
I wonder what gaps they plan to fill. I dont think i’ve seen many filled yet. Only one that comes to mind is the M163 for japan to bridge the gap a little they had in their SPAA line
