Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

The thing is, it’s not a GDR phantasy skin, it’s a FRG skin instead…

Under the wrong name though

Planes in the teaser, can’t get better than that right?

Mr.@Smin1080p_WT . Will Japan get any new heavy tanks (Type 91 or O-I)? Will Japan get a new naval aircraft (for example G3M, A5M1/2/3, A6M7, N1K3-A, G4M3) or a new interceptor aircraft (for example Ki-64, Ki-98, N1K4-J, J2M3 Ko) or a new night fighter (for example S1A1, J1N1-S, A6M5-S)? I would be grateful for your answer.

Thought the O-I was just a blueprint vehicle like so many japanese tanks but it appears that the hull and turrets were built but not put together. (evidence for that is lacking tho)

Kinda hope that we get it now.

Edit: Nvm Smin said no bc of a lack of evidence a while ago.

teaser today i can feel in my bones

Just to clarify once again, as we have said many times about this tank, the devs have stated that there is currently insufficient evidence of this tanks full existence and enough solid material to introduce it to the game. So there are no plans for this vehicle currently. As has been cleared up numerous times.

are those the same devs that decided to add the F-16AJ ? or are those different devs

just feels disingenuous to say 1 thing then do another

(not your fault ofc but its just frustrating for them to be so hypocritical)

F-16AJ was required to give Japan a functional top tier at a time when there was no other alternative. Ultimately its a production Block 5/10 F-16A, of which everything is known.

while fair, why not use a real F-16 like a thai one instead?

Thailand was not a subtree at the time. It came into plans later on.

i do hope they will replace it (like they did with the cv90105tml back in the day) at some point with a real f-16

Any plan in removing the F-16AJ from the Research?

sadly he is the main point that is some face for gaijin while actually talking back

imo vehicles like the panther 2 tiger 105 that german aa thing, ostwind 2 should just be removed completely

those japanese TDs never existed either iirc so thanos snap those too
the japanese jets that finally got removed but arent actualy gone from the game should imo also be gone

Not currently. It still fills a gap / role.

If we did, we would announce that clearly to give people enough time to obtain it as we always do.

Comes with the job. He is one of the very few people who are a direct line to the devs.

i dont envy his position but im glad he actually replies to ppl

I mean I somewhat get the information part, but not that there isn’t insufficient evidence that the tank was partially constructed.
The issue instead seems to be that Gaijin are pushing for only a full vehicle to be added, which is very inconsistent with other incomplete prototypes in game like the Yak-141.

I really hope they can change the official stance to at least stop spreading the false idea that it was unclear if it existed. I understand if there is some information missing for how to implement it, but then that should be the only reason to deny it.
