Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion

Which is interesting because from a game count (at least with Ground Premiums) perspective Britain doesn’t come anywhere close

Partial/support basically the same thing just different terminology

I’d say air is their bigger pull tbh they have a lot more unique aircraft to get prems of

Also realistically are these stats really fair? Some nations premiums are straight up better than all TT additions or are the only premium available at that tier.

hehe, this means F-15EX devblog will come first :D

That isn’t from me at all. Its reffering to the context of suggestions.

Yeah was reading his post

They aren’t perfect, but until Statshark has a public API I can’t go through everything efficiently

That being said, I do think it’s a pretty effective tool for analysis, and can point to where there may be unmet demand.

For example

  • China’s rank V premium play count is very low relative to its higher tier options, so it might not be a bad spot for a future premium

  • France is the only tree to see a continuous drop from rank V on down. Obviously the Somua SM biases this a hit, but I think it points to a huge lack of interest in the Leoaprd 2a4 OTCo

Its more bc that British top tier is bad, yeah sure 5.3 6.3/6.7/7.0 and 10.7 etc are very fun, most players judge a tree by its top tier
However, I do not think that Britain is a part of the “majors” since one way to define them is that you cannot have US, USSR and Germany in the same team, while you can with any of these two and Britain

Tbf there’s a lot of factors for premiums. Most people are gonna buy premiums that more often than not are considered good, look at the J7D that’s a very popular premium not only because it’s kit is great but it’s matchmaker is also very useful. (Who’s gonna buy the Rod Adam lol)

Besides higher rank premiums are more popular in general as they allow people to grind the TT more efficiently. Most people buying a lower tier prem are doing it to add to a SL grinding lineup.

Never! :'(

this is for suggestions specifically, we rotate the 4 major nations for air and ground for passing (August had US and UK Air + Germany and USSR Ground, September had Germany and USSR Air and US and UK Ground)

Out of curiosity I counted the vehicle additions of the least 5 major updates for each nation (including event vehicles and premiums)

  • USA: 30
  • Germany: 24
  • USSR : 31
  • GB: 29
  • Japan: 31
  • China: 20
  • Italy: 26
  • France: 21
  • Sweden: 12
  • Israel: 20

Japan, Italy and Israel got a bit of a boost over the course of the last year, thanks to subtree additions lol

I wonder if there is a proper subtree update for Sweden in the cards soon-ish

As I said earlier yeah I saw

should’ve seen earlier :)

Damn, I did not think Israel got more than Sweden

Greek Subtree was like 10~ vehicles

We also got a Norwegian subtree split with the US so we both got subs

They got 13 vehicles total in that update
