Bring sr-71 to war thunder now 🦅🔥

Listen up, snail overlords! 🐌 Do you even KNOW what you’re depriving us of? The SR-71 Blackbird, aka the SPEED DEMON 🚀 of the skies, aka “Bye-bye radar, you can’t catch me!” It’s like putting a Ferrari in a go-kart race and watching everyone cry. 😭

Why we NEED this bird:

Speed = Fun 💨 – You think top-tier jets are fast? LOL, cute. SR-71’s cruising at Mach 3, sipping jet fuel like a $5 latte while your MiG is still tying its shoelaces. LET ME VIBE AT 85,000 FEET, PLS. 🛫✨

Spy Vibes 🕵️‍♂️ – Imagine zipping across the map, snapping pics of the enemy base (for reasons) and disappearing before they can say “target spotted.” Be the ghost, not the ghoul.

Stealth Flex 😎 – SAMs? Missiles? LOL, those are for planes that care. The SR-71 just laughs, flexes its titanium muscles, and leaves a shockwave for you to choke on.

Memes, obviously 🤡 – Picture this: SR-71 enters battle, enemy players screech in chat, “TOO FAST!!! REEEEEE!” Meanwhile, you’re eating Doritos at Mach 3 and texting your crush. ICONIC. ✨

Well, you say its for fun an meme’s but there are some actual good points here:

Would be a great mechanic in sim and add a new way to play the game. AI gets a spy plane, whey not player controlled?

If not player controlled SR-71 an AI controlled on crossing the map once. 85k ft is doable for SOME aircraft in a snap up attack. Could have an announcement “SR-71 approaching in 3 minutes” so you climb to altitude and build up some speed and then you need to find it when it’s in the map so you can snap up and pop off a missile.

Also a way to drag the fight off the low levels. Whoever goes to intercept it might draw enemies from the other team further up too.

Can’t imagine it’ll be doing Mach 3 at where the battles actually are…and which everyone will complain about… but would love to see ppl trying to stay below 50m for multipath… :D

(plus taking the whole map to turn)

Edit: Well written fun post btw!

But jokes aside, would be fun. Maybe not as TT, but as an Event? Team SR-71 is to penetrate enemy airspace and Team REDFOR/MiG is to prevent this

I could see it being used as a recon plane in sim, or maybe even in RB.

It doesn’t have to be player controlled either, we already have planes that players are unable to play, such as Ju 52s and C47s.

Why would they add the sr71 if they could add the yf 12, which had prototype aim 54s
