Word of the year that also applies for this post:
Slop.

Remember when folders used to be for different variations of the same vehicle to let people avoid (if they want) to be forced to research the same thing multiple times instead of just random stuff foldered together because why not?

I hope some new jets are coming to that rank soon and its not just to make people grind certain plane slower because oh hey tier 7 premium jet cant grind tier 9

Why in God’s name are the hornets before the F-14s

So, does that mean Israel Air loses the end of line research bonus until the next update ?

So rank IX is purely to rob players from top vehicle bonus or tf is the actual point?

If I may suggest, France Mirage F1 ct should be foldered with the F1 c. Basically the same plane with just an improved rwr.
Also I don’t see the point in lowering the tornado f3 (adv for Italy) to rank VII, but fine

To make all the other premium stuff/talismans obsolete.

It’s just the forth time that I put a talisman on a high rank aircraft just to see it going down in rank, making it totally useless. Guess I won’t buy anymore from now on.

Absolute slop, this clearly shows that they dont want you to use the current premium or talismans to farm, just so you can buy another 80$ vehicle from them. Great marketing move there.

People seem to forget that new top ranks go paired with rp cost reductions for the ranks below it.

true…
Probably because of its too low br for rank VIII.
There is a lot of empty space now, hopefully they won’t leave it as it is.
I can guess something like this:

when ?
Lancer’s would be a pretty interesting addition

Will this cause the Rank 9, like 500k RP to research? And even more expensive to buy and crew? or Rank 8 became cheaper like 300k RP? and cheaper to buy and crew?

Its almost like new, stronger planes are coming and Gaijin already said that they would be releasing Rank IX this year.
We don’t need 5th gen aircraft in Rank VIII.
Everything is up to the devs, but they usually don’t apply reductions straight away when adding a new rank.
For example, when they added Rank VIII in the Apex Predators update, the total SL/RP required to unlock all aircraft increased like this:
| Fire and Ice (2022.10.26) | Apex Predators (2022.12.20) | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tech-tree Planes | 768 | 779 | +1.43% |
| Total Planes SL | 180327700 | 192487700 | +6.74% |
| Total Planes RP | 62785900 | 67325900 | +7.23% |
| Training Basic SL | 51552400 | 54982400 | +6.65% |
| Training Expert SL | 180361600 | 192521600 | +6.74% |
| Mods Cost SL | 86558830 | 91837530 | +6.10% |
| Mods Cost RP | 60208770 | 64140570 | +6.53% |
So overall, it became much harder to unlock everything. You usually have to wait about half a year to a year for the actual reductions. The last SL/RP reduction for the air tech tree was in the Sons of Attila (2023.09.19) update. Hopefully, it will happen sooner this time, ideally during the next major update.

which begs the question,
what is the most nonsensical folder in the game?

They don’t get totally useless, just less useful. The Tornados however never turned out to be very useful in the first place.
I have used them NOW to grind the top planes in their tree. After that, they will probably see little use anyway.
If you have them, use the next month to use them.
