Especially since it’s a weird mechanics. Gaijin only ever add those kind of weird and one of a kind mechanics to Russian vehicles. But at least we made it
Russian and American stuff, let’s be fair to the Devs biases here.
Devs: 'We don’t want to give the Vextra 105 OFL 105 F2 because it would move it up to a BR where it has no line-up"
meanwhile the very next update…
Bonus round:
At 42:03: “This should give you a nice option for your 10.0 line-up”… I’m confused, is the 10.0 line-up in the room with us?
So @Smin1080p_WT, can we expect the Vextra 105 to be given OFL 105 F2 this update so there can actually be a 10.0 line-up (never mind that all the viable CAS is at 10.3)? And what of the other inaccuracies for the Vextra which were reported during the dev server?
And why is France getting this Swedish copy-and-paste? Leftovers from Sweden? I know it must be a completely radical and crazy idea, but how about giving France an - I don’t know - French IFV? As an example, if the devs really couldn’t be bothered modelling an entirely new vehicle then why not add the Toutatis which performs the exact same function as the CV9035 and was a French testbed for their future EBRC and VBCI programs?

Hopefully, this step forward with the VEXTRA in the Light tank branch will eventually lead to the Jaguar…
Too soon however, would mean arbitrary, illogical nerf decisions for “balancing reasons”. So, you know. I’d rather have it come when the game’ll be ready for it (not that it ever stopped Gaijin from taking, well… arbitrary decisions.)
(At which point, I at least expect it to have a cage armor add-on. That would be nice.)

my mind cannot comprehend this update so far
Hey @Smin1080p_WT
Sorry to be a bother since I guess you must be drowned in pings wi5 the the dev and teaser from yesterday.
Just wanted to ask what was the dev’s position on the vextra’s historical accuracy (round, commander thermal…) now that the CV9035 is coming at 10.0.
I’m surprised because you told us they did not want the vextra to be above 9.7 because it would lack a lineup, thus they artificially nerfed it.
Meanwhile when adding the CV9035NL, the current BR is 10.0. I know, not final, but probably is considering that the one is the Swedish tree is 9.7 and missing key upgrades compared to the French one.
I find it even more baffling considering devs could have just copy pasted the Swedish one (no armor add on, no IRST, since they both should use IRST and it was refused for some reason on the Swedish variant, but arrives on the NL one), and have it a 9.7 instead of being alone at 10.0.
While the vextra been unrealistic sole reason was for it to not be alone in a higher tier lineup

Not 105 F2
Day ruined
OFL 105 F1 got corrected for the Vextra 105 and these are the new pen values:
Would seem like a great time to add OFL 105 F2, wouldn’t it?

Yep, there’s 9 other unique VBCIs that are still to be added. Then there’s a few slightly different variations you could get away with. I wonder if we’ll get them within the next decade…

assuming they are going to recalculate the pen later
Oh, I thought it had already been recalculated lol. I forgot it was that low. Well, then this is what to expect:

Its not like there is nothing to add at this BR brackets too .
isn’t that because France gets the BENELUX sub tree, with the Netherlands, it uses CV9035NL, with possible MLU variant for regular TT, fingers crossed ;)
Yeah but no one really wanted the Netherlands as a sub-tree never mind straight-up copy paste from Sweden especially if it supplants French additions. France is now the only nation without a high-tier light tank despite having some of the most to offer.
Would still rather Netherlands go to Germany anyway:

Yess, drop the dutch for the swiss and their plethora of light armor. The Swiss leopard 2s can bugger off to germany, but the wheelies and stuff can be French.
Pz58 variants… probably should be French just as gap filler/tanks with stabs. Most of Germany at 8.7 to 9.0 is stabilized, while there is a grand total of one french vehicle (so far) with a stab before 9.0+. And it can’t even shoot on the move to take advantage of that.

This image is far too accurate to so many feelings towards that addition.

There are still quite a few stabilised AMX 30s that could come between 8.3 - 9.7 such as the AMX 30 SAMM, AMX 30 V, two AMX 30 valorise(s), and a few more.
All I hope is that France doesn’t get screwed out of the Franco-Swiss projects such as the Pz. 68 SAMM and Shark FL-20.
BeNeLux is a pretty bad subtree since Luxembourg doesn’t actually add anything and the Netherlands doesn’t add anything that’s interesting.
