There are some prototype tanks like T-14 Armata, Abrams X, Panther KF51, EMBT, Leclerc Evolution, ZTZ100 and other prototypes which will probably not be added to the game before the second half of 2026 but there are some other tanks that are either currently in service or awfully close to getting in service like M1A2 Abrams SEPv3, Leclerc XLR, Leopard 2A8, K-2 Black Panther, Ariete C2, ZTZ99B, T-90M2 (this is a bit of a stretch but since we already have Challenger 3 in game for the sake of Britain not falling behind other nations, this tank can be added too specially because Gaijin loves Russia and if Russia lacks in an area, that area will not be added to the game so if T-90M2’s addition can mean the other tanks can be added too, why not).
When will these new MBTs be added?
Hopefully after they decompress top tier ground
hopefully never, as tanks like Armata or KF51 will be pure guesstimation and I cant see them being balanced. at best they will be sidegrades to current MBTs. Realistically? They will have BS stats.
Hopefully after they decompress ground across the board and add more WW2 era stuff and fix the gaps in the AA trees
Yeah. though some I can see. Like CR3(P) is already needed and has been for over a year. If the CR3(P) ges added then every nation will want their prototype tanks.
But I can see other tnaks coming first
woooo now. Hold on there, dont go being too crazy
They’ll probably implement them both in the same update since 12.0 has been the max BR for such a long time and the new tanks can be a motive to decompress them all.
Armata, KF51, Abrams X and the other prototypes are indeed not accurate and won’t be added anytime soon but the other MBTs I mentioned beneath them can be added
Potentially. something like they did with naval decompress + new top tiers.
In any case. If we see a top tier decompression, id expect to see new top tier MBTs in the next major update (even if that is a few weeks after)
Hopefully not until we get more BRs and changed game modes.
Hopefully in the upcoming update or the one after it. A balanced approach would be to implement these MBTs this year (with decompression of course), then the rest of aircrafts (F-15EX, F/A-18E & F, Block 50 to 70 of F-16, Su-35, J-16, J-10C, Gripen D & E, Tranche 3 and 4 of EF Typhoon, Rafale M) next year and reach the promised timeline of introducing 5th gen fighters in the second half of 2026.
I can see maybe Decemeber.
Im personally expecting something like SEAD being added this update
I read that as more “it wont be before then” not “it will be then”.
It could very well be that they dont come till 2027+
The top was decompressed 1 - 3 years ago.
The fact Leclerc and M1A1 are different BRs despite their extreme similarities, and Leopard 2A4 isn’t 0.3 below top BR anymore is proof enough.
@Beeschurger
T-14 will be weaker than T-90M in armor because it’s classified and Gaijin under-estimates classified armor.
No. It wasnt.
Moving all 10.0+ vehicle up by 0.3 is not decompression.
You still have the Chally 2, Ariete, Merkava, etc at the same BR as the Leoaprd 2a7 and M1A2. These vehicles do not belong at the same BR.
Leopard 2A7 and M1A2 should be 13.0 and then the rest distributed between 11.3 and 12.7.
This is most apparent with the top tier SAMs. Unless you are going to try and tell me that the ADATS is only 0.3 worse than the IRIS-T SLM
Um… top BR is 12.0 not 10.7.
The top end was moved up by 1.7 BRs.
Chally 2s are 11.7, and rather competitive.
Ariete’s a top 10 tank currently due to ammo and reload.
Leopard 2A7V is a 2A5 with a bit more UFP armor, and a thermal generation difference [which only impacts BR if you’re an American tech tree player].
Then top BR was moved up 0.3.
All 11.3 tanks became 11.7 and nearly all 11.7 tanks became 12.0.
Though because all 10.0 vehicles moved up as well, what they see in an uptier didnt change.
Then lower the BR of the BN and 2E to 11.7 then.
In what universe?
In their current state, they should be 11.3
I don’t think the game is ready for those yet. We need lots of decompression + there’s a lot of classified information.
The Challenger 2E is a fine 12.0. Black Night has protected me against Kh-38s at least once, and Spikes at least 2 times.
You have to remember that T-series tanks only get less mobile as ground physics improves over time.
Also 10.0s went to 10.3 and 10.7. 10.3 cannot face 12.0.
Not even 10.7 can face 12.0, and their differences are primarily ammo with the secondary differences being armor and sometimes mobility.
And again. 12.0 - 10.3 is 1.7. It’s basic math.
I’m not sure you you get 0.3 from 12.0 - 10.3.
They couldnt before either. Something like the Challenger Mk2 was 10.0 and therefore couldnt see 11.3. Its now 10.3 and cannot see 11.7. The same tanks.
All that changed is that 9.0 cant see what is now at 10.3
Did any tank between 10.0 and 11.7 get a BR icnrease of 1.7?
No? Then where are you getting 1.7 from?
10.0 to 10.3 is an increase of 0.3
10.3 to 10.7 is an increase of 0.3
10.7 to 11.0 is an increase of 0.3
11.0 to 11.3 is an increase of 0.3
11.3 to 11.7 is an increase of 0.3
11.7 to 12.0 is an increase of 0.3
Its just basic math
Challenger 3 wen?
