Still plenty of room for us finns from during the winter and continuation wars, then plenty of polish and czech war heroes/freedom fighters with interesting backstories who played an arguably greater role in the war than generic ivan pilot no. 7362
More allied representation is easy, available and yet still neglected, they aren’t even doing famous commanders anymore
I for one would like to see more figures like Jan Kubiš who played a vital role in freedom fighting in prague, who could come any time from feb-jun according to gaijin’s criteria for addition

So, what might we get next update? Apart from new bugs and the F-15SG that was delayed from last update?
Probably the beta testing for ARMs in some capacity, alongside some filler and late vehicles, i highly doubt they’ll add a subtree or anything groundbreaking

Yeah the first big stuff usually comes in summer innit?
Since ARM was confirmed in the Q&A and Rank 9 for aircraft in the Super Hornet devblog I’m thinking maybe the Block 70 F-16’s, F-16V to China through Taiwan and the PoBIT to the US. Could also bring the F-16V to Israel through Greece as their first TT AESA aircraft but chances are they’ll get the F-15SG.

I expect Greece in a later update, summer or later. Also they’d get the Rafale EG as well…
For Rank 9 I’m also betting on the aussie F/A-18F for Britain.
Another possible copypaste is the Su-30MK2 for China since the MKK is premium and they still lack a top tier CAS
we should have had the MK2 as a TT along with the MKK

Summer I hope, since it gives them plaenty of time to model unique greek stuff to bulk out the subtree to avoid more copy paste allegations (wishful thinking)

Would be nearly identical too, since the PLANAF (naval) MK2 recieved the same upgrade program as the MKK (identified by elongated tail fins and light grey/white paintscheme)

if they wanted, they could give it a TGP and CN GBU’s etc, coz its just “technical feasbility”
Well if they realllly wanted to, then it would get the KH-38, since all sources point to the missile being made for aircraft of the Su-30MK(K/KM/K2/Ki) series, so its still technically compatible
yep, but i assume they will save that for the Su-35 for China
Yeah but they like to add copies as fillers for minor updates, look at how the legacy hornets were added in 4 separate updates
Yup, a complete Greek sub has some good potential

we must not question this too much because it quickly can be seen as Politics Which is banned here
people like Manfred von Richthofen and Oswald Boelcke would actually fit tho, although they’d represent an Era that’s not normally in tbe game, which is probably why they aren’t being represented
yes and in game they could tok have a tree
As a safety net probably could just block off late 1920’s to mid 1955 just to avoid the obvious but should still check people just incase but I wouldn’t see any harm in having pre/post axis nation pages of history. But yeah if we did have WW1 then Richthofen and Boelcke would be perfect for pages of history along with people like Max Immelmann, Erwin Böhme, and Werner Voss all of which were hugely influential in the initial development of aerial combat whose teachings and tactics can still be found in today’s air combat tactics.
Although not a pages of history we do still have some Axis pilots in-game, Norbert Flegels Bf-109 as an example is based on his aircraft he flew during the Spanish Civil War as part of the Condor Legion but he did later join Luftwaffe and fight during WW2.
But in my honest opinion if they genuinely did something heroic and obviously wasn’t a bad person then I personally see no issue with it. Best example of what I mean would be Franz Stigler who risked his own life to save a B-17 crew, he was adamantly against the ideals of his nation and fought out of duty to his country not it’s leader. People like that would be fine but I can see why Gaijin would rather, for the sake of PoH, just omit Germany, Japan, Italy, Finland and Hungary all together.

I mean Gaijin is not short of controversies and they generally, like many companies would rather play safe and omit anything risky.
