1.97 Rumor Round-Up and Discussion

[Охраняет-Камни 6,650]

I've counted 11 tanks(maybe more), which are already in the game and have LWR modelled. Isn't it enough for the feature, which is easy to implement?

Spoiler

Ariete(P), Ariete, Ariete PSO, M1A2, Type 16, Leclerc, Type 90, Type 90(B), ZTZ96, CM11, Merkava Mk.2B

Are you working on a laser warning system for ground vehicles which is very necessary for protection against helicopters in the current environment of the game?

Technically it is easy to implement such a system. The problem is that there are still very few vehicles in the game that carried such a warning system.

Nope Leo 2 dont have a laserwarnsystem as far as I know.

[Cedjoe 5,482]

For the French tree only there are already 3-4 (Leclerc, AMX-10RC, AMX-30B2 Brennus and the AMX-30B2 if they add the galix modification).

There's already been a bunch of decals from planes or tanks that aren't in game yet and most of them still aren't in game.

Sorry but this is the dumbest, brain dead answer Gaijin can give  Who in the World says such things? Why the hell is it justified that MBT's don't get the propper-needed Tech. to counter Heli Spam, but a BMP get his "we love details" Water splash protection? I know its Off-Topic but: WTF guys Gaijin? Are you serious?

[SkyEye 857]

with the confirmation of there being more squadron vehicles I feel like the F8A Crusader that was "leaked" last year if it ever comes may be one of said new vehicles.

Actually I think that's because it's been on the chinese server for a few years now. I do hope it comes though, should make a nice lineup with the premium T-62.

Wish there was some news for Japanese Helicopter Tree...

Think its already on the Chinese client. Think they have one or two more tanks that we don't have yet.

Dunno why they did not add them. Since they are already in the files. But then again.

There are so many vehicles that they have left in the files for years.

Yeah I bet we’ll see some kind of preorder for either a ship or a jet. But I don’t think we will hear about the Swedish tanks in the first devblogs as there might not a be new preorder bundle for them.

my same thought, weve already seen both pre orders for sweden so theres not much else for them.

2 pre orders i can think of however could be the apaches or the IJN Tone

Oh yeah I forgot about the apaches, they might start with those as I guess many people have been hyped up for them. It would start the devblog season with 4(?) vehicles at the same time.

Since none of them is actually "new" anymore, I wonder if they'll put up Swedish air+ground combos packing existing bundles like they recently did for China. If reasonably discounted, they could actually be appealing.

We could still have more Swedish bundles. On release, the French GFTT had three bundles and the Italian four (of which two were new), so more preorders aren't impossible.

 

At least I'd expect a Rank V or VI tank with a turret, as a counterpart to the Strv.103A. Probably a modified Centurion.

But it also wasn’t the case for the Swedish air tree so I’m not really expecting any new bundle for the new tree especially since the last ones were only an update ago.

Because Italian tanks had been waiting for a year since the introduction of first premiums, of course it needed new premiums.
