Reviving a dead thread, slightly off topic also. Didn't feel it necessary to make another thread.
Gajin's doing some "Modern tanks" for their April Fools this year. Similar to how they did Pirate ships last year, Mechs the year before that, and the pony thing a year before that.

People are speculating that this is some sort of "test" to try out their new composite armour values. ERA has been in the game files for a while now, so it's a possibility. It's also backed up by people stating that they did the exact same method for the Naval Battles side, with the Pirate Ships April fools joke.
Of course, if this isn't just some arsehole tease, and it's not a genuine April Fools joke where they won't actually add anything, anyone want to play a game? Looking forward to this, honestly.
