Announcing the Removal of the R2Y2 from Research

@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT

So, if paper vehicles are such a massive problem, why is it that the hidden German tanks still are allowed in sim and realistic battles?

Also, why are the F-16AJ, Ho-Ri and Panther F staying then?

Why the hell is the Ho-Ri and panther F still allowed if the R2y2 isn’t?

Prototype vehicles needs to be part of War Thunder, this, and the lazy part of Gaijin actually working on new things puts a line between originality and copy and paste, tell me if you’re good with the recents event and battlepasses additions, honestly, I’m not.


Realistic battles are not realistic, is just Arcade battles with less assistance and terrible rewards, and Simulator battles are just a forgot feature Gaijin added and doesn’t seems want to work on it any further;

F-16AJ is a needed aircraft, despite the addition of the Thai sub-tech tree, if I’m not wrong, someone from the staff affirmed that there are no plans on removing the F-16AJ. Regarding the Ho-Ri is just a joke and the Panther F is a partially made vehicle;

Hopefully this proofs its existance.

The Panther F is real. Also theres nothing yet to fill in for the Ho Ri’s properly

I’m not opposed to any removal of vehicles from War Thunder, making it only exclusive to people who actually researched it in-time, but if the case is to remove the Ho-Ri Prod. and Prot. the Type 99 SPH is the best current option, currently sitting at the same BR Ho-Ri Prod.’ placed.

The Panther F we have in-game isn’t real, they never built it in that configuration

Well put. I also want to add some “speculation” that there most likely will come a time when we will look back on this “action” and laugh a little. Meaning, that at some point in the future, Gaijin WILL begin to run out of new/unique vehicles to add into the game. At that point in time these “entry standards” will surely change as new content is clearly the backbone of Gaijin’s income from WT.
I can envision premiums becoming much more rare and costly(2x - 3x maybe even 4x current prices). Updates consisting of 3 - 4 vehicles max. A BP that offers 1 new vehicle and perhaps chances at other older vehicles, similar to the replacement crate of past BP vehicles we have now(not out of the question the vehicles they are removing now could be prizes in such an offering.
The concept of mock ups, blueprints & prototypes most likely will become much less “offensive” to the player base and may even become commonplace and widely accepted . . . who knows?
Point being, might be best if we keep an open mind about such things and spend less time “splitting hairs” about what is ok and what isn’t.
The vast majority of vehicles in tiers VII & VIII are made up entirely of vehicles/weapon systems Anton himself once stated would never be in the game or add anything to the game. So . . .
Wait & see, don’t be mad(it is a game after all) and remember . . . ya get what ya get, don’t throw a fit . . . ☻
p.s. I’d also like to speculate(as I have no clear numbers or data) that I think there may at this time, be more WII/Cold War vehicles that can be added to the game than there are more modern vehicles, as a whole. Especially if the “fictional/semi-fictional” are counted.
Really hoping to see WW I bi-plane action & content added in(in their own special place ofc) and I really hope that idea . . . “gets off the ground” . . . kek
I crack me up . . . . . .

I don’t get their reasoning… It switches up depending on the vehicle, nation, if it’s naval for some reason, and how many people play it. Seems kinda fishy to me ngl.

I agree, but dont cherry pick

That’s a Versuchs-Schmalturm on a Panther G hull for trial purposes

Only just, a single turret. Essentially the same amount of components as for Panther 2 and Fv215. Its a weird exception to keep the panther but not the R2Y2. as for the Ho-Ri the “replacement” is already in game.

Same BR, same role, far more practical too.

Gaijin answered in Japanese forum that they add Kawasaki T-1, T-4 and P-2J for instead of R2Y2 in May 27, 2022. So, will those planes available in next 3 month??

No it didn’t. They never finished a single Panther F, they did build two Panther F/G hybrids, but that’s not what we have in-game.

Real Schmallturm ‘Panther F’ destroyed in bombing raid that still exists.
