Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion (Part 1)

I mean, they were pretty quick to add the OSA to Britain, it’s just a camo change after all lol

There is so little difference between the Rafale variants, that they might as well rename the Fr*nch ones, but yeah, that’s definitely a possibility

The Kim Qui boat was the last Vietnamese (operated) vehicle they added, though that’s a South Vietnamese one

As for why there aren’t more of them?
There probably was no reason to add more of them.

really hoping we get drop tanks for the F-104 series soon

I think the Rafale F3s are going ot keep their current loadouts (alongside M-Scan Typhoons)

With the Rafale F4s coming with MICA IR and/or Meteors (Likewise with the AESA Typhoons getting them/equivalent)

What if F3/3R get Meteor and Mica IR too, but F4 also get Mica NG IR/EM?

the MICA NG isnt even in service

smin, I want to ask if Gaijin has plans to refine the in-game respawn point calculation mechanism. For example, an aircraft equipped with one AGM-65G having the same respawn points as an aircraft equipped with four AGM-65Gs seems very crude, especially now that the respawn points for aircraft have generally increased.

The Korean tree might benefit from a Phillippine air tree if you guys really want a fourth line. They also have naval cooperation history with Korea so their vehicles not wasted in Japanese tree is fine.

I would like an F-8H and Gaijin is not going to give that in the close future so I would like a one vehicle sub tree similar to India (before this update)

Nothing unusual about F3 Rafale getting Meteor + MICA IR, just need to bump up the BR (again)

F4 could technically get the NG, it’s essentially a dual-pulse MICA with better seekers.

(‘Better’ is doing a lot of work here, can’t really quantify performance of such technologies (IIR seekers; AESA seekers are a different story) without proof, which won’t be available for some time. I hope Gaijin just does what they did with the modern ARH and gives everyone the same seeker. The differentiator will ultimately be missile FM which would naturally make the MICA NG and its ancestor one of the strongest in terms of effective range + manoeuvrability)

Hasn’t stopped Gaijin before

(Looking at you, SPICE-250 on Eurofighters)

I’m honestly not very interested in the addition of any new nations. I mean we already have a contest between 10 nations about who is going to get new toys and some end up with only one-two old models clones or without anything at all. While to research everything in all 10 nations you have to put an insane amount of time into the game.

I want new nations because it will actually deliver original vehicles instead of sub tree reskins.

And if the new nation is also a copy paste dump ground, I will just view other trees. I won’t have to see those copy slop near my line of domestic vehicles

Now that’s a good joke

tbh there’s meteor and MICA IR before MICA NG is even needed

by which time it most likely will be in service

Major updates and their content are typically planned out a year in advance. Many vehicles for the December update are already in progress by November.

Considering all of that requires up front research about the spesifics of each nations variants, skin work etc etc.

We were not exactly going to just cancel a sub tree that had been planned for some time when there was no real reason to do so.

As we mentioned at the time, it was quick because it was already done. We already had an Indian OSA skin created ahead of time, as it was planned to be added later regardless. It was brought forward because we had it ready and people asked for it.

We have no news to announce currently.

Hey simn by any chance can you explain how the work shop works that console players have access to I don’t really understand it?

But no still no RAF OSA skin :((

Hi. I assume you mean the CDK kit?

It requires a PC to create content using the Content Development Kit for things like levels, missions and more.

Yeah if we increase the number of vehicles the new tree will have to infinity, the number of original vehicles is also going to reach to infinity.

Law of large numbers or smt like that idk.

But yeah as the major candidate is Korea, it will be another israel which is a bit more interesting in ground but worse in air

Some unique, some slightly modified, some reskins. You won’t see any new nation with TTs completely consisting of unique vehicles, same as with subtrees.
Although the addition of any new nation will at some degree reduce content coming for already represented nations (except big 3 maybe).
