The thread has been this way for going 3-4+ years now. There's absolutely no need to rename it and most people fully understand how it works by now.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

The thread is the exact same as it's been for years. Adding "next" in the title has not changed anything.


It's just now it can't be argued that this thread was somehow any different than all those that came before it.

Nothing new to announce just yet. We will make a full announcement / changelog when the Winds of Change vehicles receive it in a future update.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Generally for major content it would be within a major update. The low tier premium tanks were in a .5 midway patch. We dont typically release brand new premiums outside of specific events or specials.



Oh right, for me Kfir was a "Winds of change vehicle" but I forgot you guys only just found out about it ))

Doesn't appear to be a mass reported or widespread issue on our side at least. We had 164k online just a few hours ago without any issues.


Please submit a bug report with your files, selected servers and relevant info if it persists.

It will depend on the outcome of the report after its been reviewed.

We seem to be back to discussing possible new nations again guys. There are more relavant topics for this as we have already established.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Different issues take different amounts of time depending on the verification, viability and possibly of resolving the issue. There are some issues older than 6 months and others fixed far sooner.


We are fixing issues every week with a weekly bugfix patch as well as the larger ones in major updates.


But this doesn't really have any relation to this topic.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Im not aware that they are work in progress or anything other than as intended. So if you think something is incorrect, please report it.

We don't base our game development around Movie development. A movie coming out soon has nothing to do with us or our schedule and is also nothing to do with this topic.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

We developed the skin as addional bonus content as it was a heavily requested historical skin from a real life unit that also happens to be made famous in a 1980s movie. Hardly think that's a good bastion for "basing our game development around movies". We didn't release the F-5C because of any film release, we released it because we planned to do so at that time.


Our content roadmap is our own. If we based releases on movies, we would have had the F-14 before even the MIG-23 or many other rank VII jets as the film was due in 2020.


We have also had some tie in decals for various partners and services. Just like a single camo, that does also not mean our schedule is based around a movie.

Guys, any more off topic / rule breaking / wish listing posts will result in warnings now. Please do not just ingore previous warnings.


There are plenty of topics and areas all across this forum dedicated to such discussions. All we ask is you make use of them.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

There is only so much creativity anyone can really produce when we introduce a variant of a vehicle that's been in game since Alpha and well known to all players. As for its FM, its a converted P-51C-10, which is already in game for you to base your conclusions on.



Had we made it a domestic French vehicle, there would have been equal arguments for "it should have been in the tree". This is a unique vehicle at least in its variant that suits a BP reward nicely.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Its not the first. We have Fighter Recon versions of the Spitfire and Seafire in game for some time. Probably more than that too.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

You mean our Aprils fools event based around a 1990s/2000s video game?


Im also not sure what this has to do with the already closed discussion about actual game content development (vehicles) being based around movie releases, which we have already confirmed is not the case.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Those were his wishlist/suggested vehicles.


Please use the wishlist topic as this isn't a rumor.

The report hasn't been concluded. Seemingly the source material conflicts with existing sources.

People were using decorators 3-4 times the size of their tank to mislead / distract players as well as bait first shots, providing a direct gameplay advantage via epxloit of a bug.


None the less, it was patched swiftly and to my knowledge, there were no bans.


None the less, it's got nothing to do with this topic and can be taken to PM if further clarification is needed.


Both the ToS and the ELUA are also available on our website for everyone to read (which you should have already done as you agreed to both when making your account and playing).

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

We already have tank decorators. Suggestions are always open to new ones, however we plan to keep tank / ship decorators at least somewhat unique between each other.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

It's the final vehicle reward.

We are going to publish a full article with all the details, prizes and positions as always. Stay tuned

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Off topic cleared out. Plenty of places to leave your feedback and opinion guys. But what was being discussed had nothing to do with this topic.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Nothing has been scrapped.


The feature was still in development at the time of the update release, but we wanted to share more information with you guys ahead of the bulk of it being datamined. So we decided to do an early blog ahead of when we normally would. Its often something people ask for is more communication about upcoming features ahead of their actual release so we decided to do it.


We said it would come in this major update cycle (between this major and the next) and thats still the case with no changes. Its a hugely technically complex feature with many considerations to also bare in mind in terms of setups and configurations.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

As mentioned in the blog, it will just be initially for the first batch of aircraft in Winds of Change. At least that is the current plan. However work is ongoing.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

As it was only ever intended as a decal news artwork, this is the largest offical resolution as far as im aware. But we will ask if its possible.

Sorry to disrupt your theory. A simpler explanation was that Monday / Tuesdays were holidays in Russia. So things just knocked on a day.

It's not possible to have a thread where only one user can post without having either mandatory post moderaton or Mods having to constantly police the thread to hide off topic posts. So all it really does is double the headache for moderaton.


Not only that, but splitting this topic into smaller fragments is going to just create more complications.

Just to clarify, there was never any official confirmation on any Chinese helicopter tree contents. Other than it was within our plans. Ultimately the developers decide what comes in trees. Not consultants.


So any of these "plans" from one or several individuals are wholly irrelevant, not valid and should not even be viewed as rumors.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Consultants generally provide information on vehciles. They do not get the final say in the composition of a tree really as that's down to the developers ultimately to decide what vehciles are viable and best to include.


If information is slow / hard to find, that can affect things.


Again, the developers make the final call on all matters. Not consultants.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Part of the changes to the new system of calculating repair costs was a reduction in the number of updates needed. So there will likely be fewer eco updates compared to BR. One is of course coming, but we don't have an ETA right now.

Off topic cleared out.

We mentioned around the time Helicopter PvE was announced that this was ultimately the logical progression. Helicopters are more suited to PvE and it's proven a more popular mode.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Rewards where changed some time ago for PvE. It's possible for many of the lower rank helicopters to have far more income per match, depending on your input to the battle.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Even before the addition of the Ka-50 and more advanced missile helicopters, the PvP modes were not as popular or as practical than the current PvE mode is for all helicopters.



After its initial release. Within one of the minor updates patch notes shortly after.



People self hype themselves to disappointment over something every update without us hinting or saying antrhing. That wouldn't be something new )

*In your opinion


Just in the same way someone who only plays naval probably feels tank or plane blogs are. None the less, we will always make blogs on all vehcile types in game and because one was posted that does not apply to some, does not mean we will have a second blog because people can't wait for the next day



Not today.

almost 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

If blogs only catered to the largest audience, we would only make them about the top rank vehciles of 3 nations only.


This makes no sense to do so from any perspective. Blogs are about showing content in development covering all aspects of the game. Not just what you find interesting personally.

Nothing has been "deleted" but everything that was archived has been moved to an achieve area to clear the publicly visible suggestions area up. As it was impossible to notify each and every person individually of why their suggestion was removed, the Suggestion Moderators created the archive document with the reasons why.

This camo was a C.2 scheme, not a C.7. We only generally have skins for other variants on vehicles if that specific variant is not in game (F-5C with F-5N camo for example).
