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"When withdrawn from service, the EAP aircraft had completed 259 test sorties, totalling some 195 flying hours, during which it had exceeded Mach 2 and had flown at angles of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.

cause it ain’t coming
Apparently demonstrators are not considered as fitting for the game
It ‘wasn’t intended for armament’ even though its mockup weapons had labels.
I pulled a lot of stuff to try and get it added but essentially unless I can prove they looked into arming it then its not applicable (because we don’t bend rules for Britain).

Not all Prototypes are Demonstrators but all Demonstrators are Prototypes.

The Horten 229 ingame is based off of the Horten 229 V-3 which was the last completed prototypes with no weapons at all. Similarly it was proposed that after the V-3 production would begin on a slightly altered main production version with 4x20mm cannons not the 2x30mm ingame. If the Horten 229 V-3 Prototype Demonstrator before a mass production varient could be added to warthunder, why can’t the EAP?
