how about another tab in the modifications tree, that would be completely optional, similary like the mark of distinction on premium vehicles where its not needed, just neat to have, that specifically tethered to appearances and add on armor, of which depending what it is, could raise the BR of the vehicle in the early tech trees (roughly ranks 1-3) and in higher ranks (4-8) that have modernization as well as possible extra armor (if shown proof of existing and not a 1 off field experiment that was quickly undone) packages, this (in theory) would help cut down on copy paste, for example the M4A1s those have had stuff draped on them, such as logs, small extra armor patches, camo nets, sandbags, next M60A1 AOS, of course, you could get better APFSDS such as the M900A1, sandbags, ERA packages, and such as time goes on, this could apply to aircraft, like for example the F-4E and A-7E, although they started in the Vietnam war, they were both used far into the Gulf war, but lack the equipment patches used for the era, for the Phantom, it would include the DMAS upgrade, AIM-7F/M/MHs, AIM-9Ps, AIM-9Ls, LGBs and so on, similarly with the A-7E it would also receive AIM-9Ls, AGM-88s, with navy it could give ships the modern upgrade packages they got IRL, it wouldn’t be just for ground vehicles, it could work with every platform we have in game, aircraft, ships, helicopters, and tanks, not to mention it would also increase the replay value after spading a vehicle and moving onto the next rank
Avro Anson Mk.I
(My own photos of it flying at RAF Cosford Airshow 2026, this one is the only airworthy Mk.I left in the world.)
Armed with 1 x .303 turret on top and 1 x .303 gun in the nose and able to carry up to 160kg of bombs
the removal of g-loc as a mechanic. I love when I’m playing to my spitfire’s strength and outturning a guy only to be told that I need to give money to gaijin to actually make that a meaningful maneuver. I love losing fights by default because my opponent has been playing longer than me and just doesn’t get g-loc’d as early. It’s really cool how tight turns make you lose fights that you have no business losing otherwise. Just incredible game design all around. Extremely skill based gameplay in the “give money or play for 9 years to be able to turn slightly tighter” design space.
giving the reception of the soon to come update may i propose a update based fully around the early cold/Korean war, possible title back to the 38th or something (most if not all of these have already been suggested)

(i tried to look for homebrewed/unique vehicles from the 50s, however as a result of ww2 there wasn’t much as is for the minor nations)
I don’t know any German jets of the 60s but there was a few ground Protoypes like the leopard 1s
(Same tank there different guns)
I’m sure theres more but that’s all I’m remembering at the moment
It’s 50’s instead of 60’s but Germany could/should get the Pulqui II at some point.
Also, a little searching brought up this… curiousity: The EWR VJ 101
It’s a 1963 supersonic VTOL jet fighter, although testing stopped before any armaments were fitted, so its ability to get into the game is a bit iffy.
I looked as well even the planned stuff has questionable sources
Fully agree alongside possible some of the Spanish/Egyptian stuff like the HA220 and HA300 both were built designed and specifications made by willy Messerschmitt and ha300 imo could be a perfect event since that was his last ever plane
It’s kind of hard to tell from the angle since the length is what I rely on for identification of this, but is that an L/44 still? I know everything online said they would be getting L/55s and that’s what we were all expecting
According to Hartpunkt (very reliable German source) it’s a l55a1 what makes sense. Plus the l44 is kinda dead germany is not developing ammo so skipping to l55a1 will allow for Swede to have next gen armour penetraters like dm73 and 83
Perfect, fixing my main gripe with the series. Was worried for a sec they wouldn’t be lol
Would make 0 sense to stick with the l44
I’m begging that it has 3rd gen thermals, please tell me it has them…
Didn’t say 🤷♀️ most likely does since it’s up to 2a7 spec (pretty much) but you’d probably have to wait until autumn time when they actually get delivered to troops
Best of hope it has them!
Getting L55 already is a big plus tho, good choice as upgrade indeed
Right, I’ve just seen militaries make stupid decisions before devoid of common sense so thought I’d ask
The Strv 123A in the above image has an L44 though, its very easy to tell it apart from the L55 (below).
In the full video shown it’s very clearly a l55a1… You saw 1 photo from a bad angle lmao (actually that one might be wrong and just a demo)
