Guys, we said this year with the F-4F, not next patch.

Soon™

If we asked people to submit everything to the standard of whats required to actually implement something, nobody would submit a suggestion.

It takes months worth of research and collecting sources, documents, books and museum trips generally to have enough.

Suggestions are set to the standard thats a solid starting point for consideration. But nowhere near whats actually needed to viably implement something.

Everything passed for consideration goes into a database, so they are all stored and listed together.

Nothing is deleted or forgotten unless its implemented. But similarly, not everything can be implemented, either due to lack of information, references, sources or legal or other external reasons.

That is to simulate what in reality would happen with radio callouts and for gameplay purposes.

Its not exactly the same thing as a plane with a camera that needs to be taken back to base and the photos extracted, by the time which is done, wherever that tank was at the time the photo was taken, its likely travelled several hours by then.

Oh I know whats coming. I've just said 50,000 times already that its too soon to be confirming on denying anything. But people forget that about an hour after I say it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean? Are you sure you want it?

We do not speaketh the name of the cursed one ))

Thank god it never left a paper proposal.

Again though, command vehicles were not scouts. You wouldn't find them at the front of a conflict scouting enemy's, rather at the back receiving responses from scouts or giving commanding orders.

Thats precisely why we dont have so many of them in game. Some even had armaments removed to compensate.

We already answered this a couple of Q and As ago. Its not planned right now for helicopters. Command vehicles on the ground were not scouts, They commanded other tanks and relayed comms.

Generally most scouting / recon aircraft had specific variants.

For example the Spitfire PR XI or XIX:

Or the dedicated photo recon variants of others like the F6D/K (P-51):

All of these aircraft were generally specialist variants with dedicated equipment installed, usually sacrificing guns, armour or something as the trade off.

We don't have any of these special variants in game with the exception of aircraft like the Spitfire FR XIV or Seafire FR 47 among a few others. Even then, IRL their purpose was not active scouting with live results, but long mis

If you check the details closely, cost increase is only happening when something moves up in position in the tree or when something is grouped. Grouping means in general it is still faster to progress as you don't have to research a whole seperate vehicle and can now instead skip that. In the case of vehicles like the OTOMATIC, that are flat out better than things currently higher than them, they gain cost equal to where they are now going.

If you look at the overall though, there is also a lot of costs being cut. More going down than up.

What it was a protot

Tree position is directly linked. Tree position has never been about 100% chronological order as evident across the board.

Practically useless in every gameplay sense.

As we said recently on a Q and A, we dont plan scouting for helicopters right now so something like this isn't only impractical but pretty much redundant at the moment.

As cool as it looks

Hello

You were given a ban for 2 reasons. Firstly, discussing sexual content which is strictly forbidden:

And also foul language in chat to other players:

This is not correct. All the Apaches were subject to Licencing and we have that now. It applies to every model.

We never announced or said the YAH-64 would come. But licencing has nothing to do with it not being here.

Neither of these aircraft are coming soon. So lets stop with the off topic please.

We just had the first generation Harriers added 2 patches ago. The Harrier 2s are not close.
