  • Release dates for tanks

    Hello everyone.
    Been stalking for a while and thought I’d ask as searching hasn’t really answered my question.
    im looking at buying a Heng Long, but I have a terrible issue of when I purchase things the new version gets released very soon afterwards. Doesn’t mater if it’s phones, cars or fancy undies,
    It annoys the panzer out of me.
    so should I wait till the next Gen tanks get released or get the current version?
    Cheers in advance

    As far as Heng Long tanks goes... First of all; figure out what tank you want. And then go hunt down the version you want.
    Version 6.x still has 4 sound options, as of version 7.x you only get two. I believe the Leopard 2A6 and the Abrams. Sounds a bit silly on WW2 german or Allied armour.
    Frankly no idea what HL is going to do with the next gen of tanks, or when they even are coming out with the next gen.
    Sherman M4A3 105mm Houwitser / Sherman Firefly IC *under construction* / Panzer IV *awaiting side-grade from TK7.0S to TK6.0S* / Stug III / King Tiger / KV-1 *awaiting upgrade to TK6.0S* / Tiger I / T34-85 / Leopard 2A6 *waiting upgrade to TK7.0*... No, I do not have a problem....

      I’ve narrowed the tanks to the Abrams, Leopard… although I do have a soft spot for the T90..
      as there is no club in my area it’ll mostly be used in the park behind my house until I can sway a few mates into purchasing some..

        HL over the last two years has updated almost all their tanks mechanical and have added three decent controls systems 6.0S, 6.1S (best of all three but not standard) and the 7.0S. All are this means even if they do something it will not “outdated” what you buy now for a very long time. So stop awaiting and buy the tank(s) you want.

        Additionally all the HL tanks can be upgraded and modified regardless because they are very well supported by the aftermarket parts world. This means they can not become “outdated” easily.

          There might be an earthquake at where I live in California tomorrow. I really can not tell or predict. I like to get the tank I want today and enjoy while I can. With that statement, I hope you don't wait too long on getting a tank to roll it around :-)
