Here is a little break down of what each update brought in terms of vehicle split, the vehicle spread to each nation over the course of the year, and the total vehicles added this year and how it was split between different vehicle trees. A couple notes: I did include all copy paste, event, and Squadron vehicles into the total. Gaijin (or at least the wiki) counts the radar and missile vehicle for SAM systems as 2, I only count them as one. Do what you will with the information, I just like math and numbers. Feel free to correct me where I am wrong.

Personal opinion: 93 ground vehicles this year, and yet not one of those is a TOW HMMWV, or LAV-25, but 2 are BMPT’s (of some variant). What are you even doing Gaijin?

Right, so that’s your actual motives for this topic. Cut the ‘i just like math’ rubbish.

No, I genuinely like math, I literally did most of the work for this on a cardboard box and a pencil. This took 2 hours to make, and you think I did this all just to say what I did? I have no problem with BMPT being in game, it’s a damn cool vehicle, the whole no HMMWV or LAV thing is a bit I been doing for a better part of the year (I have asked for jeeps, HMMWV’s and LAV’s at least a couple times a month).

Actually, it was more out of curiosity because I always felt like ground didn’t get anything compared to air, and to which I found out I was wrong.

The Gaijin standard practice is to lead the patch promotions with a shiny new top-tier jet that people don’t even end up enjoying (like the Golden Eagle), while they add multiple useful filler vehicles to the ground tree that people actually enjoy.

We have a LAV-25 variant in-game known as LAV-AD.
And LAV-25 isn’t equal to BMPT.

LAV-25 is quite a different vehicle to LAV-AD - the only similarities are chassis and calibre.
Some actual LAV-25 examples:

I am aware of the many variants, my good man.
Its equivalents are however Boxer, Freccia, BTR, etc; and that was my point.

If people are going to get mad at the IFV variant, which is in American service for tech tree options, the examples are other wheeled vehicles.

I’d get the LAV 25 as well.
I just find it weird getting mad because of BMPT and not because of Boxer or the new squadron vehicle.

You have the LAV II as well which is Canada and Australia.

Fair enough!

Tbh I also dont understand the constant “why didnt they add this version instead” whenever anything new is added…
Same thing already happened with R400, where people complained they didnt add Class 1 (which is based on TH 400 but not identical).

Oh I’m aware the LAV-25 isn’t equivalent to the BMPT, I just compare the two because the LAV-25 is a relatively simple wheeled vehicle chassis with just a 25mm bushmaster, yet we have yet to see its addition, but we then see the addition of a vehicle on an MBT chassis with twin auto cannons and quad ATGM launchers. I understand the wow factor of the BMPT is much greater than the LAV-25 as well. I just would like to be able to play around with more vehicles with auto cannons in my US line ups, and ask for the bare minimum, the LAV-25.

USA in this game should be USP = United States of Pain, because it’s either nerfed to the ground or DoA

11

While having the most under-BR’d vehicles in the game… uh huh.
Either way, LAV 25 will come in time.
Gaijin has thousands of vehicle options, and a limited amount of time per year to add vehicles.

I mean, the M10 Booker doesn’t seem to be bad, the XM800T had to be moved several times because of how good it is, the XM246 is pretty damn good, and the T58 is a damn good vehicle as well. The list goes on.

That’s absolutely true, and I understand that they have to add vehicles which catch the eye to expand their player base and make some money, I just wish they would put a touch more effort into filling things out a little more, as in a wheeled IFV and a missile carrier for the US TT as they don’t currently have one. I do understand that other nations have things that need to be filled out as well. I also understand the US got several vehicles this year to fill gaps of their own in spots.
