The thing is with the redback is that it’s a South Korean tank which likely won’t see for another 5 years, at least with the KF-41 it not totally similar to the Hungarian one so fo me it make sense to have the KF for now while we wait for the Redback
But yeah the Leo that can be a good 8.3/8.7 and properly be way better than the Indian tank currently (Defo not asking for more premiums ahhhhhhhhhh)

Tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Korean tech tree sooner rather than later. I’d give it a year.
Personally, though, I’m pretty against countries getting vehicles they only trialled. Otherwise, Sweden could get pretty much every main MBT from the ’90s, and countries like the Netherlands could get the Chieftain MBT that they only trailed against the leopard 1. The only exceptions I’d make are vehicles that underwent extensive trials, like the AMX-13/105 mk62, which Switzerland tested for several years.

We already have things such as the Vidar

It’s just a Leopard 1A3 which certainly was used by Germany?
The only change the Australians made was ammunition selection and a later on a laser rangefinder, but the Leopard AS1 wasn’t some Leopard 1 variant that was exclusively built for Australia. They were purchased straight off the Leopard 1A3 production line.
Still be useful as an 8.7 tho

Is there any chance that we will get the T-72M4CZ in the near future?
@Smin1080p_WT will we see more Strategic Bombers (e.g. Cold War era) and WW1 Content/Vehicles eventually?

Wait a couple of weeks we might see a re-run of the WW1 event with perhaps new rewards

Yes, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for that.
It’s a heavily modified South Korean vehicle, so I don’t see why not? We already have the Vidar in game, which is an export version of the South Korean K9.
Also the KF41 is so bad in game that having no IFV is honestly preferable over having the KF41 if there were no other options.

It’s a stabilised Leopard 1, it is never going to be bad. I was just clearing up the common misconception around these parts that the AS1 is some unique Leopard configuration built only for Australia that isn’t to be found anywhere else, when in reality it is just the Australian name for the Leopard 1A3.
In-fact, of the in-game nations, it was also used by Germany, Greece, and Denmark, so Leopard 1A3s could feasibly end up in almost half the tech trees in-game.
It’s obviously only a matter of time before it ends up in the British tree now that Australia is confirmed as a sub-tree, but I would really hope that the Vickers Mk 1 Improved and Mk 3 Improved are above it in the list. They fill a very similar role (mobile, light, mid-cold war 105mm MBTs), but the Vickers tanks are extremely unique British options that fill out our currently rather sparse in-game export family.
It’s been literally years since we got the last British Vickers Export MBT (VFM5 6 years ago in 2020), and in the meantime we have seen a very large list of foreign MBTs (TTD, T-90, Arjun, 2x Abrams, the upcoming Optimum etc), the balance is currently completely askew as to what is actually getting attention in the British tree.

Just wondering, as someone who’s never played the KF41, what makes it so bad? It seems pretty average for a NATO IFV with a 30mm autocannon, Spike ATGMs, although those type of vehicles arent very strong to begin with

But muh Korea TT lol
Seriously, I don’t know why people think that Korean vehicles operated by other nations shouldn’t be added before a potential Korean TT maybe gets added at some point in the future

Extremely bad crew layout (2/3 crew in the turret (and turret ammo was only made blowout recently)), no protection or survivability, huge, Strikeshield APS being the saddest excuse of an APS to ever grace the game (barely works).
It’s just sad and has no redeeming qualities that try to make up for that.

10.7 (before BR changes) would make sense IF the gun was accurate like it’s supposed to be, the rounds performed like they are supposed to, and the spikes actually aimed for the tank you shoot at. but right now they would barely be good at 10.0
even the ones without the APS and spikes are bad at 9.3

We now have two S-700 class torpedo boats, both battle pass and one R-301 class boat with more cannons as GE vehicle.
When are their tech tree equivalents dropping? We needed more S-boats now we need more R-boats too.
(Definitely not a rant that is because I grinded whole German coastal and need vehicles)
