Who wants to bet there is a lot of changes coming this update up-tiering of certain vehicles might mean big changes to some mechanics course we know that Swedish tech tree is coming soon maybe that's why the br changes commenced 

Probably so. More advance weapon systems perhaps.

Let's hope they don't forget about the squadron vehicles for the rest of the nations. The idea of earning venicles via squadrons is really good.

Maybe the panhard EBR for france? A jet for japan? A new Reggiane for italy? Chinese heavy tank? 

I do hope we get at least one Squadron vehicle in 1.97. But i hope for more.

 

But Smin1080p said this to me in another post:

The majority of people do not already have all of them. 

Yes there likely will be ones in the future and we will announce when they will come. 

 

There are so many vehicles in the files. And many of them look like they are finished. Or at least close to be.

And many of those vehicles have been in the files for YEARS. So there ain't any shortage of options for them.

 

Personally i wish they would add Tournament reward vehicles into Squadron vehicle list.

BUT at a higher RP requirement and GE price then ordinary vehicles in the list.

But that will probably never happen. Because a small number of people will cry: muh rare reward vehicle.

Or something like that :/

My only problem is that i don't want gaijin " forgets " about the minor nations as always. Because the big ones always have something new to play with.

No - it was removed ages ago IIRC - crashing a plane now does not damage to what it hits unless it is a collision in mid air.

Thanks. I think it was usefull feature - why it has been removed ?

The Ar 234B may be getting its Walter RATO takeoff boosters.  Right now the flame is visible in 3ed person but, no trust and no control.

 

234B absolutely needs them, cant take off fully loaded.

OH PLS YES

Me 262 A1 needs them too

 

(Also hoping for the gunpod/radar for the B-2)

There are a few Italian vehicles in the files. That they could take one of them and use it as a Squadron vehicle.

For France. They could use the DB-7. Or just add it as a GE prem in the French tree.

Should be some more French aircraft's that could be used as a Squadron vehicle.

There are so many tanks they could make and add. Just by copy past things(i don't mean to make fake tanks)

Example for the France:

ARL-44 (ACL-1) with US 76mm M1. Was taken from a M4A1 Sherman.

Spoiler

M24 Chaffee with AMX-13 turret(FL-10). Or a AMX-13 with Chaffee turret.

Sorry? What are those Italian vehicles you are talking about?

Kinda sad that this is for popular nations only, but maybe in future updates...

F-106 would definitely be interesting, but I don't see it happening.

Italian ground forces

• 75/34 M43 with BREDA 8mm MG's on top - Source 1 / Source 2 / Source 3
• M14/41 with 47/40 gun - Source

The Soviet bundle makes no sense lol.

 

If you buy the Soviet beginners pack, it's probably because you want to start with the Soviets. But when you start with the Soviets, and play your first match in planes, you get the premium I-153 - the one you already own because of the bundle so you get nothing. They should have put another plane in there...

Not if you chose tanks first, then you will get premium T-26 and have to purchase I-153.

Not relevant for this thread anyway.

75/34 M43 with triple machineguns is just 75/34 M43 with triple machineguns, so 3.3, the same TD with very good armor, can be premium, squadron or event vehicle.

M14/41 with 47/40(the same as on M15/42 and AB43) and 13,2 mm machinegun can become a great vehicle for an Italian begginer's pack. I think br should be 2.0 or 1.7.

Agreed, the 75/34 M43 Bersaglieri would be a nice Squadron or event vehicle.

instead the M14/41 with the 47/40 would be a nice maintech tree addition, don’t you think?

What leaves me completely baffled (yes, I am logged into the store) is this: I own both these Soviet and German tanks and both these Soviet and German planes.

Yet the store shows both these packs to me as available for purchase, i.e. the blue button has the price on it and not the phrasing "you already purchased it".

That's because you purchased the vehicles individually through the game for GE most likely, making it a different purchase than the pack which comes with some SL and premium time or whatever.
