It wouldn't be an update without some juicy Drama in this topic ))


I have some fine wine and popcorn already prepared.

The point of the South African subtree is to bring key and important South African vehicles to the game for them to be represented by.


With 1600 Eland 90 Mk 7s built, its a key vehicle.

Comment

No idea why we are restarting this discussion yet again after its already concluded.


Its South African and was added to the South African sub tree.

Comment

Its a good thing we dont have the AML-90 then but the Eland 90 Mk 7


My mistake on the Cheetah, we still dont have any plans on it for the time being. But being what would be a current top tier its not really the same as the Eland at all.


Its entirely logical to have South African vehicles in British line-ups since the South African sub tree is in the British tree. There is no reason whatsoever after adding a South African ground forces tree to one nations to then splinter off its vehicles into another nation when it is itself a domestic product of said nation.

To be honest the last few days / weeks worth of discussion went so far of the rails with so many wrong guesses for the next patch it was more fun just to sit back and watch


From one Q and A we somehow got onto the most outlandish discussions )))

Comment

Thats because we have a South African tree inside the British tree

You were comparing a domestic South African variant of a French Vehicle to which they had the most input in to a Mirage IIICZ, which is straight up just a French Mirage IIIC sold to South Africa. You quoted a post that was pointing out how we don't plan to add which is just a straight Mirage III to the British tree, purely because South Africa used it and compared it to a vehicle that was actually domestic with heavy South African impact and significant to them.


All nations in game are going to use foreign

Comment

You are free to read up on its history, but the Eland 90 Mk 7 is not the same vehicle as the AML-90. Unfortunately not everything based on a French vehicle is therefor a French vehicle. Regardless of what physical differences there are in game or what minor or major differences you can pick out, the Eland 90 Mk 7 is a domestic development



Soon™



Options remain open for South Africa



Really doesn't matter. Its domestic South African. Not French.

Comment

This is not the same.


This is a Domestic South African variant based on a French one. Not a French Vehicle itself. France has its own version in the Eland AML-90. The Eland 90 Mk.7 is a domestic development.


A Mirage IIICZ in South African service is straight up just a French Mirage and we have no plans (currently) to give a Mirage to the UK tree solely because South Africa used it.

Providing you have source material to back up your claims and the evidence that you are actually testing the aircraft correctly, its not a "ton of work" all. All thats required is you have something to back your claims up and you test the aircraft properly.


Unfortunately we cant ask the developers to thoroughly check each and every aircraft every time someone claims its bad. So far no historical evidence or performance based evidence has been brought forward.


All we have had so far is claims that it "feels" wrong.


This is also the exact reason we have a F

Thats not how any game or game development works. No game is every bug free. Every new advancement or change with the game, no matter how big or small can generate a bug. There is no game out there, no matter after however many years can ever eliminate all its bugs.



Once again, this isnt how game development works. Someone who works on maps and missions for example is not going to be the person capable or working on fixing a bug with an aircraft flight model.


You don't hire a plumber when you need an electricians work done. Its the same situation here.
