I thought you were talking about the white eagle so i did a quick search to see if i was mistaken. White eagle would be such a cool analog to the t72 turms. I believe its on the T72B chassis so it will be better armored than the t72 turms, but i believe they could be the same br as everything that can go through the ufp of a trums can do the same to the t72b in game as far as im aware. And the turret armor is nice but no one shoot the turret of any t-series tank, they go for the breach, lfp, drivers port or ufp if they have a strong enough round
Possibly as a replacement for the role the sprut plays for the VDV or to see if it would be worth developing a similar system for the bumerang chassis. Either way seems to have gone nowhere full stop.
Some whining on the forum won’t stop Gaijin from doing what they want, we’ve seen this before.
Same goes for a Ukrainian sub tree which you’ve mentioned.
Should take a look at the EULA if you think otherwise.
The thing is it would not be limited to some forum whining it would be open revolt from the UKR playerbase, the western playerbase in general and UKR nationalists who have nothing to do with war thunder and with that reach comes publicity and despite what people claim there is such thing as bad publicity. Thats a tinder box that exceeds the one adding SK to japan would be. Its not going to happen.
I dont care what you think the EULA says gaijin themselves are not so short sighted to do something like that which holds long reaching ramifications and gives detractors easy ammunition.
Same was said about Taiwan within the Chinese tree on the old forum years ago. You can get into some weird historical reasoning for it but it’s the same thing.
This is exactly why these “major” trees shouldn’t be pandered so excessively. Players start thinking only those trees matter and the “minors” are supposed to be just punching bags. It has snowballed way too far already.
Except whats between China and Taiwan isn’t hot and current, what you propose is. Either way its not happening any time soon especially if some of the leaks last year are to be believed.
