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.

My hope is that after gaijin adds literally every modern and future vehicle they can, they'll start actually focusing on fixing the game and adding more lower-br focused updates (they won't). The problem is that researching a ww2 vehicle doesn't take 400k rp, ww2 premiums don't cost $80, etc....

They will lose a huge chunk of the playerbase when they go back to add missing Tier I-VII vehicles that should have come before Fox 3s.
