Yea that’s what I also think, but I hope ist not it because I would prefer the Cypriot TOR-M1 than the Greek (Greece has way more stuff to be added unlike Cyprus, so all comon equipment like The Mormon Herrington, AMX-30, AMX-30B2 should come with the Cypriot flag)

While the F-84F do lose a major advantage of not having an air spawn for the ones in higher tier, they can instead research higher tier aircraft than the US version with the air spawn as a trade off. And overall the way you play them is the same, even with or without an air spawn.
It is actually worse with the M44/55 to some extent, since in some tech trees they are rank II, others they are rank III. This means that the ones that are rank II you cannot do the missions/events with them, where with the ones that are rank III you can. What this does, is that it reduces the reason to play those specific vehicle in that nation, because why play this vehicle, if i cannot use it for this mission or to grind an event vehicle at the same time.
It is similar with something like Pz IVs in Germany vs the Italian or Swedish versions of them, or the USSR T-34 (1941) vs the Finnish T-34. Probably a lot more similar vehicles around the rank II and III border, where one nation they are rank III, and in other nations they are rank II.

Hear hear
Those 2nd/3rd rank shenanigans are annoying. Especially with stuff like M44/M55 in this case, which can punch well above their BR and is 3rd rank everywhere else.
The whole Battlepass/Event 3rd rank restriction makes it needlessly complicated.
How about making Battlepass/Events BR restricted rather than rank restricted?

Can the CV 90 Mk IV be moved down to rank 7? I makes no sense for it to be at rank 8.

Bad and completely unnecesary changes for Germany as usuall.
Zero reasons for move M44/55 to rank 2 just skip this. leave the actual Stug in rank 2 aswell and add the 100 years ago annouced Stug 3 late to rank 3.
And of course move the Puma and Panzer IV H to rank 3 too. Because for a “strange reason” Germany is the ONLY NATION in the game without acces to scouting in rank 3…

So… what was the point of announcing Israel separately?
Even with new information, you are moving, like, at least five vehicles, and are you calling this reshuffling?
We expect more than that amount.

These changes could have been made after the vehicles were released. There is no need to wait and treat it like a major announcement—especially when there is nothing substantial to announce in the first place.
Italian Pz IVG is a premium though, same as Pz.Bef.Wg.IV J, they are unlikely to be moved down in rank fortunately.
Idk in my opinion an artifical gameplay advantage for exact the same plane is actually a way worse thing than progression advantage. F-84F main game activity is base bombing and having an air spawn gives you higher chances to survive and get the base faster than your teammates.
Honestly I don’t care much about rank placement of identical vehicles apart from that case, but rank II/III case also touches tasks requirements, which I think is a bigger problem and should be revised (maybe change it to BR requirement instead, like 3.0 or 3.3).

With this update the final tech tree 11.3 is being moved from Rank VIII to Rank VII, and yet the CV 90 MV.IV is still at rank VIII despite being a 10.7. Why is this not being moved too as Sweden is getting nothing moved, and the rest of 10.7 is at Rank VII
They should be excluded from obligatory research, like some low BR french tanks.

What was the point of the Israeli dev blog? It could have just been covered here.
Also, I still disagree that the Cromwell V is equal to the Chaffee or M4A2. So it’d be nice if some of the reports can be corrected.
- Cromwell Turret Traverse Should Be Higher
- Cromwell series gun depression incorrect
- Cromwell turret ring protection too weak / simple.
- Cromwell V missing its ESS smoke dischargers
- Cromwell v (rp3) currently missing its ESS smoke dischargers
Do note that Nathan misinterpreted my original bug reports for the rear smoke dischargers from the old forum as ESS. They are not ESS and work in a similar fashion to the smoke dischargers on early German tanks in game. With the ability to be dropped behind the tank, or activated in their cradle.

When are you finally fixing the german StuG III G´s muzzlebrake. You know it´s wrong cause you corrected it on the italian one. It´s wrong since I started this game at the end of 2014. So please in the name of the holy StuG live end this blasphemy.

Easier SAM access to destroy early helicopter that can’t decoy any missiles because they lacks Flares/Chaff ?
(yes AH-1E/F/S i’m looking at you, and you can’t go at lower BR)
I have one question. with all of these reshuffles, WHY is the type 93 STILL the ONLY 9.3 SPAA in the japanese tree, and maybe in the game (not sure) that’s rank 7?
Some question for the Type 24 and 16
I actually kind of understand those being there. If those moved down, then rank 7 would have only three vehicles if you dont count the folded and premium type 90s, while the type 93 has no business being so high when Japan is the only nation not having a missile carrying spaa at rank 6
You also don’t really need the type 24 or the Type 16 at Rank 6 since you already have 3 IFVs there and the type 16p is not really that different
Any particular reason?
Could some additional changes be made in the German tree, so that the progesstion makes a little bit more sense?
I have some suggestions:
Can you please move the BT-7A (F-32) to rank III. It was moved up to BR 4.0 a while ago and it thoroughly deserves to be a rank 3 vehicle.
