We are not getting new map this update. It’s always every 2nd update that gets them. So prepare yourself to get disappointed again with the amount of content.
Please tell me that T44 100 will be added to TT.

back in late 2023 when the merge update rolled out, the 6 campaigns of the game were united into 4 factions: Germany, US, USSR, Japan.
from Moscow, Normandy, Berlin, Tunisia, Stalingrad, Pacific campaigns.
There were no BRs, instead each campaign had a separate progression which contained only historically accurate equipment used in the campaign (for the most part anyway if you ignore Jumbo in Normandy and Fedorov in Berlin…) Each level had equipment for both nations of about similar power (again, mostly since there were blunders like beretta 38 (20) vs drum ppsh41 or Jumbo vs Pz IV…) so two best equipped factions at the time of the merge were Germany and Soviet Union since they both took part in Berlin campaign which had most of their current BR5 gear already.
Naturally Germany offered the most interesting tech tree at the time since they were part of 5 campaigns prior to merge, which is why they still have the most weapons and vehicles - though many of those are tactical copy pastes to fit the time line of each campaign better. Meanwhile the best US equipment were M4A2 (w76), M2 carbine, M1919A6, M1928A1 (50), P-47.
So predictably veterans rushed to Germany to grind out everything, especially the shiny Tiger II H which at that time could only be destroyed by 3 in game tanks frontally: IS-2 (1944), IS-2, SU-100.
Which caused Germany to dominate hard for about 2 months.
That was enough to imprint the idea in most that the Tiger II H is the best tank in the game, even though many newer tanks outclass it in certain aspects such as fire power, infantry support capability, armour protection, mobility ect… rather than Tiger II H dominating all of these. Dont get me wrong, Tiger II H is still probably the best overall combination of these, but is no longer the beast it was in our memories and replays.
BUT back to why Tiger II H was a mistake:
It was added alongside IS-2 1944 just a few months before the merge update which was already in the works by that point.
Tiger II P was already in the game alongside IS-2, yes but both can be frontally penetrated at the weakpoints by all current BR4 tanks, so if its not obvious by now: why did devs add a tank that other factions did not have a counter to?
If not for Tiger II H, Pershing and M9A1 bazooka would have been enough to deal with any Axis tank.
No need for Superpesh, US Ofenrohr, Ho-Ri and Japanese Ofenrohr… Right now a T-44 would be enough and Soviet mains would not be asking for T-44-100 or IS-3.
This shows well how easy it could have been to keep powercreep to a minimum by proper planning.
But instead devs only added more powercreep to BR5, be it jets, SF rifles, ARs, MGs ect…
SF rifle powercreep could have been prevented as well:
move FG42 and AVS36 to LMG, make it similar to BAR1918.
make AVT-40 semi-auto only.
move M2 carbine to AR.
But I guess its way too late anyway.

yes, I pointed it out on purpose that Germany used to dominate because veterans stacked it, not necessarily because of their weapons/vehicles, though its obvious that they stacked Germany at that time to unlock the shiny late war “wunderwaffe” Nazi Germany was famous for.
Doesn’t have anything to do with WW2 battles just as IS-3.

Just like the entire Japanese top tier, which does not prevent this Japanese top tier from being in the game and in the tech tree. And let’s be realistic, the developers are NOT going to remove the Japanese top tier and are NOT going to limit Japan to 3BR. They are more likely to introduce another paper or another prototype. Maybe the O-I tank. Or the Type Hei (10) together with the Type Hei (Late) for 4 BR.
Oh rite sozzies, missed that one then.no offence tanken… get it? !tanken, not taken…? Haha… haaa. Ooh tough crowd here

Respectfully,
It kinda is. I still have some old gold order vehicles who have added track armour. “Functional”, yet, as all gold order vehicles, they were the same but with a different skin.

Some people just want to create more balancing issues for the fun of it, the Devs should focus on fixing problems before introducing more.

The Soviets don’t need the IS3, it just adds power creep and tanks like the Jagdtiger. Just give them the T44 100 for balance.

Much love to you man, but the devs have to understand that two slightly different variants of tanks already in the tech tree (and that is a generous description) are not worth 50 USD. Perhaps they could consider lowering the price of the bundle or add something more to make it worth it. I say this with sincerity as I want the game to succeed and want to support its development. I have bought many preorder bundles before, but I simply cannot spend 50 dollars on what are essentially two skins for tanks already present in the game.

SU-9 absolutely sucks. Rus absolutely needs IS3 to counter TG2 grey zone camping.
