Hello, i have a question about fake vehicles like franken vehicles: are there allowed in war thunder?
And if allowed, are fake vehicles also allowed?

Franken vehicles:

  • franken planes.
  • franken vehicles.
  • franken tanks.
  • franken ships.

Fake vehicles:

  • self designed planes
  • self designed vehicles.
  • self designed tanks.
  • self designed ships.

can you name some of these vehicles?
if you mean stuff like the Leo 1 hull rocking the skyranger turret and similiar, probably yes

if you mean some made up franken vehicles that’s only on paper, nope

I believe they’re not, ask a suggestion moderator personally, I’m afraid the reply will be the same.

from what i understand, for aircraft the airframe must have been built and proposed to be armed (yak141 case) or demonstrated / tested by a nation and added to fill a gap (F16AJ case)

No tech demo aircraft (BAE EAP, MiG144, SU47, X-32)

Stuff that was built and armed but never entered service with that nation in that configuration would be accepted (F-20 is the main one i can think of off my hea)

I would say that fits under the yak141 type of tech demo. It was fully planned to enter service but Romania just ran out of money for the project. BAE and SU47 where never going to enter service and where to test the concept

P-16, BTD-1, G8N, Ariete/Sagitarrio, Milan, Narval,… there’s actually quite a few that would fit that description.

Sorry if this wasn’t a good question.

What i really would like is to ask a question if self designed planes, ships, vehicles and tanks are allowed alongside franken vehicles like fusing the wings and armament of a FW-190 with the fuselage of a P-51.

I Didn’t wish to start a argument that will get me into trouble.

So please.

With franken planes:

  • FW-190 wings and armament fused with the P-51D fuselage, engine and canopy and 4× 20mm hispanos and 4× brownings.

If my info is incorrect, let me know.

As far as I know I’d say clearly no: such aircraft are not real, and completely fictional fabrications, completely fake.

Maybe there are some exceptions in history:One that pops to mind was a B-24 that was modified with the front section of a B-17, dubbed “Liberfort”, but that never went beyond experimental phase:

IIRC there was also a B-17 with B-24 nose and tail turrets.

Or the famous case of a DC-3 that had a wing damaged and got it replaced with a smaller wing from a DC-2, and becae famous as DC-2 1/2:

But a FW merged with a Mustang? No, please no.

I see, thanks for the clarity.

Perhaps if you allow, i would like to delete this if it gets out of hand.

if it was actually created and fully functional yes if it was just a plan on paper no, completely made up ones are an immediate no

I can’t go draw an F-16 with RSW and have it added, but if one were to exist as an armed prototype, it could be. That’s the easiest answer I have

I do hope gaijin will end up a little lenient with unarmed prototypes as we run out of aircraft, I really want the Dassault Mirage G or Mirage III V/Balzac
