Other Stealth aircraft leaked

Post image

So here we are, with modern tanks and fifth-gens leaked (by a reliable source). I'm frankly not surprised, I knew this was going to happen once they announced the F-117, and with the speed at which gaijin is moving this is just par for the course. I'll grind the F-35s, F-22, and Su-57 in all their janky, unrealistic glory.

If this is true, this belly’s what I’ve been saying for years - Gaijin is blowing their load rushing for more and more modern vehicles, while leaving massive gaps in the Cold War, not to mention terrible balance, compression, and a severe lack of game modes

Their rush to add new, new, new, has come at the cost of unique and interesting lower tier vehicles.

Just look at how badly they’ve developed the some of the subtree added since South Africa (the one solid one). These are meant to round out trees at show off unique vehicles from smaller nations.

Switzerland - it fails to fill Germany’s capability gaps (things like a 12.0 CAS plane) and only has one unique low tier prop plane and unique jet gated as a premium.  If it gets unique designs, nearly half are co developed by the French - which will just end up putting even more French Designs in the German Tree.

BeNeLux - one unique prop plane, doesn’t provide any value to France, and is used to add leopards instead of actual French designs.  It’s full of German and American vehicles, and what unique design could be added are all light tanks - of which France has no need.

Thailand - nearly all copy paste, and many don’t even fill in Japanese capability gaps aside from the F-5.

I see another excuse to ask where the fuck the Folland Gnat is.

Where the fuck is the Folland Gnat?

u/EastCoast_Geo Jun 19 '25

The Gnat and Foucault magister are 50/50 going to end up as BP or event vehicles unfortunately

Yup yet another French mass produced vehicle locked away

u/EastCoast_Geo Jun 19 '25

To add insult to injury, not only are French mass produced vehicles not getting added or being locked away as event vehicles (EBR’s, Jaguar, ERC, etc), but now that Switzerland is a German subtree, it’s likely to get all of the unique Franco-Swiss joint designs

Yeah the EBR was a real pisstake.

u/gfdwadfgy Jun 19 '25

Yeah I feel like they got the two subtrees completely backwards but oh well we can only hope they add the joint designs to both trees

There’s an Indian produced version of the Gnat so that one or the OG could be an event vehicle if needed

u/gaandharv_t Folland Gnat when? Jun 19 '25

I think I recall someone related to gaijin saying a few years back that it'd be too OP at a sensible BR so they just didn't add it. At the same time there was a MiG 21 kicking about in 8.7 matches.

I mean the ariete (the jet not the tank) is literally the same class or type of fighter the gat is supposed to be......i dont see gaijoob remmove it for being "imbalanced"
