War Thunder wiki update list

[CoachJester 16]

I was looking at all the amazing stuff done over all the update in WT on the War Thunder wiki update list, and I came across this said in the very last update

• Added 25 new vehicles:
  • 7 Regular Aircraft
  • 4 Gift / Bundle Aircraft
  • 6 Regular Tanks
• 1 Gift / Bundle Tanks
• 7 Regular Ships
• Added French helicopters to the game
• Added Rank 7 Tanks
• Added Supersonic jets to all nations (that didn't have one prior)

The last line "Added Supersonic jets to all nations (that didn't have one prior) " can someone tell me what brit plane is Supersonic? I thought a Supersonic jet had to go over the speed of sound. Didnt think the Hunter was fast enough Brits seem to be only one without one, but a hell of a lot of work has been done none the less over the years well done

I guess it is referencing the Javelin, although that's a bit controversial.

Technically, we've seen the Hunter and even Javelin on the verge or going supersonic in WT from community media.

 

Back to serious notes, perhaps a better wording would be "Added Rank 6 jets to all nations (that didn't have one prior)" considering the additions of T-2, Super Mystere, MiG-19S, and G.91 YS.

It's a matter of definitions.

 

If you are asking if they can go past Mach 1 then yes the Hunter and Javelin can go supersonic.

 

If you're asking if they can go the speed of sound at sea level and 20 º C(1235 km/h), then no they do not have any supersonic planes. However with that definition Italy also does not have a supersonic jet.
