Ah, you confused them with the superior V Bomber…

Hehe, I also need to go make another coffee :P
(also, we all know the Vulcan is the best looking :P )
Remember without the Victor Black Buck would have failed, so your precious Vulcans best mission is only held up by the supports given to it by the Victor

I know, I do like the Victor and Valiant, but the Vulcan will always be my favourite.

Vulcan is by far my favourite too, I was just messing with you, but I do love the futuristic look of the Victor, it just looks so cool, like a far cooler B-52, and given the fact it served far longer than any other V-bomber I think it was most likely the most successful, even if it was used for refuelling for a large section of its life
@Morvran BTW that’s me got the Valiant suggestion done and submitted, surprisingly easy when there’s so many non-book sources you can investigate from Wikipedia alone, plus a suggestion already made for you. ill move onto the Victor tomorrow when I get time cause I’m not spending all evening making another one.

I’m debating doing one of these for the current naval BR’s. Seems like a good way of illustrating just how much there is, without having to spend hours making individual posts.
And here’s a couple of neat prototypes I’ve found:
-
Hawker Hotspur
(Turret Fighter) -
Blackburn B-20
(“High Performance” Flying Boat, Naval Bomber) -
Gloster E.28/39
(First british jet-engined Aircraft, Fighter Jet Prototype) -
Gloster E.1/44
(Follow-up to the Gloster E.28/39) -
Miles M.39B Libellula
(I don’t know, just look at it) -
Avro Ashton
(Prototype Jet Airliner adaptable as Jet Bomber) -
Fairey Delta 2/3
(Concorde-like Fighter Prototype with Droop Snoot, proposed to be armed with Red Tops) -
Short Sperrin
(Medium Jet Bomber Prototype and V-Bomber fall-back option)
Aussie Bonus:
-
CAC Woomera
(Torpedo/Dive Bomber Prototype) -
CAC Kangaroo
(Late Prop Fighter Prototype) -
CAC CA-14(/A) “Super Boomerang”
(CAC Boomerang fitted with Turbo-Supercharged engine)
(CA-14A model was further modified to have a square tail and rudder)
I think we are nearing the point of needing one for:
- Naval (Blue Water)
- Tanks
- IFVs
- Light Tanks
- SPAA

I’ll do a naval one this evening, might take me a minute though because I don’t know much about destroyers, just capital ships.

I think its mostly the capital ships we need, except maybe a few with more unique capabilities

I’d put the improved CA-14 and CA-14A Boomerang in there too. Prototype with a turbo and supercharger for high altitudes that allowed the Boomerang to hit some pretty blistering speeds for what it is (570 km/h at 8,500 meters for the CA-14 and supposedly even faster for the CA-14A) and giving it a 10.9 m/s initial climb. The CA-12 and CA-13 Boomerang isn’t in the main tree, but I’d like if they broke that tradition for these prototypes.

I agree, what we could really use is heavy cruisers, but we don’t have any to fill the gap that were laid down. Capital ships too for the high tier.

I love my Boomerang, didn’t realise they had prototypes with engine upgrades tho. Thanks for enlightening me!
Edit: gosh, what a beauty

For a Top Tier Event Vehicle you are missing the British Aerospace EAP. The precursor that was being designed as the original production model which later became the Eurofighter Typhoon. This Prototype did carry dumb weapons on genuin hardpoints throught it’s test period and was purely british.
"When withdrawn from service, the EAP aircraft had completed 259 test sorties, totalling some 195 flying hours, during which it had exceeded Mach 2 and had flown at angles of attack of over 35 degrees.
The aircraft is now on permanent display at Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford."
smin denied the EAP a few months ago. Unless Gaijin does a complete 180 on it, it will probably never be added.

Why did he deny it?
It’s the perfact example of a pre-typhoon to be added to warthunder either as tech tree or event, which is not as OP as a typhoon in weapons capability, just much lighter.
