Oh I’ve no doubt Gaijin are salivating at that thought.
Because tanks are way easier to implement than aircraft? Gaijin still has to PROPERLY implement RCS, the weapons that fifth gen aircraft carry (which will always be the most modern, since you know, they’re fifth gen.) and certain features those aircraft carried such as the SU-57s IIR seeker countermeasure turrets on the airframe (can’t remember what they’re called.)
Not to mention that Gaijin will have to do stupid amounts of research to even get the tiniest amounts of real-world information about these aircraft compared to the top-tier tanks that are upgrades over models that have been around for decades now.
They’ll just use whatever info they can find. Just how they used the 90s Swedish trials as a source for the 2019 Leopard 2A7V armor profile.
I think you seriously underestimate how much Gaijin likes the money/hype that 5th gens bring over F-15/16/18 nr. 98485 or Eurofighter/Rafale with different radars.
Like I said, models that have already been around for decades… the secrecy around fifth-gen aircraft is no joke.
They’ll just do what they do best and bring out more popular airframes/weapons as premiums/squadron vehicles, like they already have with F-16s, Mig-29s, F-2 etc. More modern weaponry bringing in new ways to play will be just as exciting, fifth gens are not the ONLY focus of hype and Gaijin are right to say not to expect them anytime soon.
But that can also work in Gaijins favor. No info means no complaints (at least none that are backed up) and more or less a free hand when it comes to implementation
You seriously overestimate how comfortable the community is with badly implemented flight-models/features, I’m sure governments won’t take kindly to people trying to leak any information about these kind of aircraft xD
Oh the community will be livid. But looking at some of the implementations we have right now id say Gaijin does not care. This forum is such a tiny minority and the paying masses will gladly open their wallets to raptor all over their opponents
Unfortunately you’re probably right, but I just seriously hope Gaijin actually use their brain-cells and take their time
Except that there have been massive internal armor changes in the 2A7V, which Gaijin just conveniently denies so they can incorrectly implement the tank with sources that pre date it by 20 years.
Most of these new airframes like the F-2A and F-16I have been seriously DOA exactly because the EFT and Rafale already exist in game. New munitions aren’t going to change that. And a lot of new airframes will be similarly DOA when added next.
Everybody knows about that already. Gaijin has worked themselfs into a corner
I just want to see more cool vehicles like prototypes (OBJ195 my Bussian rias machine) leopard 2a4 140mm, leopard 1a6, and of course I want new generation MBTs, but please bring new maps My God, these game maps are horrible and every update since air superiority in 2023 is only focused on jets 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Bussian Rias machine

Object 195 so we can launch literal telephone poles through enemy tanks
So… a max BR increase is on the leak list…
So that would potentailly track for new MBTs in either this coming major or December.
Been waiting for them since December 2023 at this point… back when Rank VIII was announced and made such a big deal of.
Ever since, only 2A7HU has come as a true Rank VIII addition. The only other 3 ones we’ve got in these 2 years (T-72B3M, Oplot, VT-4) are not so different from the sort we had been getting since 2019.
May the snail god hear you, I can’t wait to drop a 152mm eiffel tower on enemy tanks
Looks like they are now so this is a possibility now
We should at least wait a few years before adding any fourth gen MBT. We literally have little to no accurate information about the state of those tanks
That’s too long, current top tier is already getting stale.
We can add tanks like the T-90M2, ZTZ99B, and Leopard 2A8. We still have a lot of vehicles to add before fourth gen tanks.
T-90M2 hasn’t even been produced yet so that’s not possible and who’s to tell if they will follow through with production next year. M1A2 SEPv3, Leopard 2A8, Armata and Chally 3 production etc.
We already have an idea of what the T-90M2 looks and performs like tho. If Gaijin wants to they could add it right now
