USA needs spaa even though it doesn't exist in real life but let's put it in to make up for the shortcomings of the US

It also just wouldn’t solve any of the problems with US SPAA, it’s just an adats with an extra gun and some extra ready to fire missiles. Doesn’t fill the 7.3-9.0 SPAA void nor does it remedy the high skill floor issues of the Duster & Co.
Some better options for SPAAGs to ask for, e.g;

XM246 (which has been teased for this year)

Gepard equivalent with two 35mm cannons & radar tracking on an M48 chassis, perfect 8.3 SPAAG

XM-246

XM701

A twin 25mm with optical target tracking, would be a good equivalent to the Italian SIDAM 25 at a slightly lower BR due to reduction in guns, a good back-up for the XM246.

XM701 GLAADS

T85E1

A good middle ground SPAAG between the T77 and the M42/M19, 4x20mm cannons, would be a good 3.7ish SPAAG

T85E1 MGMC - The American Wirbelwind

M-Shorad

A very solid looking high tier SPAA with HE-VT, Stingers, & Hellfires. Very much a jack of all trades master of none sort of SPAAG like the LAV-AD

where was that supposed to be teased?

36

In the new years decal, and Smin has made multiple comments stating that one of the other vehicles teased are coming, which would imply the rest are.

37

that one doesnt mean anything, we already had the exact same case 2 years ago where the decal had F/A 18 and co on them

38

That wasn’t an official decal from Gaijin, rather the separate E-sports league :shrug:

39

thats some copium if i ever saw one

40

Smin has heavily implied the decal is a hint, I don’t know what else to tell you lmao.

41

this one?

The one from the NY store pack
ny_2025_decal_fe1fa4edb3a7846663679e26f21d7cfd
Has F-18, a french battleship I cant remember the name of, SU-30, possibly Badger SV, Tracked Raiper, and finally XM246.

43

fair enough i guess, boring ones overall but ehh

44

Yes, exactly. Thank you for understanding.

45

Irrelevant.

46

No, it was in absolutely no way a sub nation of America.

They are just as much Germany as modern-day Germany is. They are not sub nations.

47

yes, but fact is they have subtrees and you cant remove them, this results in germany should get one as well

48

Taiwan is China as well. It is not a sub nation.

East and West Germany are Germany as well. They are not sub nations.

49

Two nations getting things they shouldn’t have gotten does not mean that another should get the thing that it shouldn’t get also.

the taiwan & china debate is a bit more compley honestly

51

No, it isn’t. The Republic of China is just as much part of the Chinese trees as the People’s Republic of China.

52

its a show of direction where the game is going and how gajin wants to handle it

They already said as well they wanna furhter add subtrees over this year

53

There is plenty of reason. There are an abundance of unique options from both sides, and it would offer a reverse China of sorts, with the blue nation being the main one and the red nation being the secondary one.
