not everyone wants to wait a quarter of a year to get 1 plane

Even if you dont want to wait, saying its unobtainable is factually wrong.
Hey Smin, I was hoping for some further context on the addition of ‘shared’ vehicles in relation to end of 2025 dev QnA.
-
If a new variant of a pre-existing vehicle gets added and the pre-existing vehicle could be given to other trees but originally wasn’t. (For example, Russia is getting a Mig-29 9.12 (albeit I’m unsure what specific sub-variant) and the 9.12A is already In the game) would additions of the older in game variants to other tech trees be considered applicable to BVVDs statement. (For example, The 9-12A now going to USA/Britain via Poland)
-
You said previously that captured vehicles had to be used operationally in some capacity to be considered applicable to BVVDs statement on ‘shared vehicles’ so captured vehicles that were simply gleamed for technological insight and the like (such as the RAF ME-210) do not count. Therefor, Would an operationally used captured vehicle be applicable? Such as the British-Panther Cuckoo? Of which we have footage of it, in British markings, firing on German positions?
As always, I apologise if my wording is unclear or my information/knowledge isn’t accurate.
Also, I’m aware that the specific sub-variant that is Cuckoo is not present in game but, to my knowledge, the differences are relatively minor and would not require much work (by comparison) so, in my opinion, should apply to the rule
Wut? Why?

Still not worth it for this F-16C, 6 missiles is already a massive handicap at 14.3, no need to handicap yourself even further by sacrificing another missile.
Not to mention that the asymmetrical loadout would look pretty bad.

Gaijin has not explicitly set out who Poland ‘belongs to’. Poland has presence in USA/Germany/Britain and Germany already has a Mig-29 9.12A.
Im asking less so in regards to copy-paste complaining/adding but rather getting clear rules/conditions in regards to BVVDs statement
nothings “Unobtainable” but its still complete bs
If poland comes to the game as proper tree/subtree it wont go to US/UK lol nor it should go to germany.
Whatever polish vehicles are in the game, they are placed according to technological link, just like theres iranian tomcat in the US.

Sorry I forget
Hey. Poland is neither a sub tree of the USA or Britain, so neither of those two nations would receive a Polish MiG-29.
Its not that they “do not count”, simply that BVV was talking about vehicles being operated across multiple nations (EG, M44, M55 etc). Captured vehicles of any kind don’t fall under this, so they are not going to be ones considered for automatic additions. Captured vehicles are rarely used these days for nations, unless there is extreme demand for one or special significance. At this moment in time, we don’t plan to add Panther “Cuckoo”. But never say never, there are just no plans right now.

So Misc nations don’t count for the shared vehicle statement? Only majors and subs?
And so regardless of operational use, Captured vehicles don’t count? What about Vehicles that have been captured but later sold/Lend-leased to a third nation thus becoming an official ‘adoption’?
perhaps the non-export one?
When BVV mentioned adding vehicles to multiple nations at the same time, he was generally speaking about vehicles that were quite simply operated by that nation or sub tree of that nation. Again, thinking of things like the F-104, M44, M55 etc.
There may be some cases that don’t lead to automatic additons (for example different variants, captured + modified etc)
Thats not to say these vehicles wont ever come to the game, just its not what BVV was talking about when referring to adding vehicles to as many nations at once.
I think this brings up a wider issue of “Theoretical” pilons being so prevalent in the game that realistic loadouts are no longer enough to be meta at top tier.

Can I politely suggest that Gaijin draws up a complete blog post regarding BVVDs statement and clearly setting out the full list of rules/criteria in regards to ‘shared vehicles’? Because I still got questions lol

Honestly 14.0 is the only place it would be sorta balanced, it’s better than the F16AM and C both of which sit at 13.7 with the AM needing to sacrifice a missile for a PIDs pylon

A post clarification blog after a video Q&A won’t go a miss as then that would stop people misinterpreting in their own way. Bit how CM’s came a thing after users wanting clarification about a few things I can’t quite remember.
