Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

If they get the Russia treatment for paper ships then yes, especially if we add Norway and Finland they would have a lot.

Iirc most paper ships were bought but never delivered do to the war.

Fair enough.

Otherwise without Russia treatment they would have a few gaps and some lacking lineups but with all of the current Nordic states in game it would be fairly fleshed out iirc from the proposal someone made a while back.

@LelutooDS didn’t you make a Swedish blue water tree proposal?

I’m ok with copypaste, although I wish it wouldn’t create more obstacles than helping for people researching TTs, keep it in folders at least, so I can focus on designs and modifications unique to that nation and if I need to boost my lineups with some leased vehicles I will research it.
PS waiting for Hungarian IS-2 😆

Same. I like C&P, it’s just that it coming first/Gaijin being inconsistent is the problem.

Well, it coming before domestic isn’t the worst in the world, it’s just sad. A nation getting something it had 5 of but not the vehicles it had hundreds of, or was the reason it existed, is an issue.

At the time BAE was being informally blacklisted by the UK gov due to numerous ethics violations and a conviction against the company for bribery. Also BAE appeard to just not want the contract, the factory deal mentioned was only offered when BAE tried to appeal the decision to go with GD, which is a bit late.
GD then offered the same local production deal as BAE to keep the gov’s attention.

On paper Ajax isn’t that bad, it’s basically taking the proven ASCOD platform with minor automotive upgrade and using the troop space for sensors to try and make a recce tank. Which was identical to what BAE was offering, with a few more gimmicks on GD’s side of the fence.

It’s a good concept and bad execution situation

No, Gaijin has the excuse now to add C&P over unique/indiginous designs.
Look at Japan, Italy and France. They are becoming more and more Americanised because of their sub-TT’s. And instead of adding the unique sub-TT vehicles, they only give us the C&P with some exceptions.
50% of Thailand ground has been C&P, while their air is 100% C&P. The only thing that makes them slightly different are the stats and weaponry options, but its not like an entire new model has been made/altered.

I actively want more copy paste even

Go on gaijin, give me a billion CVRTs to grind, do it do it do it do it

You are sarcastic right?

*Huffs L23A1 fumes*
Nope!
Give me more Scorpions and Scimitars
GIVE ME THEM ALL GAIJIN

Omg, someone got a different opinion quick call the ministry of Love !!!

I can’t understand how grinding and spading the same vehicles is enjoying to some people. Like… I’m tired with the shermans, T-55, -T80, M60, F15, F-5, G-91, etc…

Think it’ll get dropped or that it’ll bevome a new mainstream vehicle for the UK given its price?

If you hate C&P that much then you have some strange music taste

What do you mean?

Does music have as repeating percussion ?

There is a balancing act.

Every possible minor variant gets old fast. But adding a single version (maybe 2) of a vehicle, despite multiple variants with notable difference available can suck just as much. Especially if they can operate at a range of BRs

Like for example, I still want the Mosquitto Mk16? (bomber variant), Jaguar GR3A, Harrier GR9A, Sea-Vixen FAW1. etc etc. Even something like the Tornado EF3 could be quite interesting. In the future. Id quite like a few Hawk Variants scattered about between 9.0 and 11.3 (maybe even higher, but im on the fence)

There aren’t that many G.91s in the game, plus Gina and Yankee are 2 completely different planes.
I would vice versa like to see G.91R/3 for Italy.

Or this one Portuguese R/3 with sidewinders could be a great squadron vehicle for Italy.

It won’t get dropped, the contract was a fixed price contract, so GD basically has to do all the remedial work for free. We’ve got a few hundred of them already, and from what I hear it’s pretty solid these days. Defiantly not the best LT in the world (IMO I would have put the CTA40 onto one of the low profile Stormer chassis), but it’s got it’s gimmicks, especially if GD manage to squeeze in some of their newer developments (e.g. the new gun mounting that can elevate 80 something degrees up from Blackjax) into the main fleet. GD are also suggesting a lengthened Ajax as an IFV, (Yes that’s IFV to light tank then back to IFV again), which might actually get adopted, (and would be very nice for WT, as it actually gets an integrated ATGM)

Yeah what’s he is describing there is a percussion issue, sure only listening to drums by themselves can be boring and repetitive like C&P. But if you add other melodies like say the unique string then both can work in harmony with each other. C&P mixed in with a bit of uniqueness can create a wonderful line up.
