Looking forward for the update to drop onto the live servers, at last some stuff to counter Russian CAS. However I was surprised that Britain wasn’t getting Sky Sabre in this upcoming update even though it is part of the 4 main nations of War Thunder. Anyone have any idea why?

Just means nothing was ready for this update, or this version of the dev server

3 Things:
- Modeling isnt there yet
- Not planned for this update as they have release multiple spaa already
- Not a priority nations, along with Italy, France

Its britain. Its literally required to get something at least 1 major update after everyone else.
Though apparently they said something in the Russian Dev stream along the lines of nothing is planned for Britain or something.
So I guess we’ll have to wait and see if anything is planned this year

They should placeholder the American one until the land ceptor is ready for Italy and Britain.
The adats just isn’t cutting it, especially now you can’t even see the bloody missile after 4km.

Apparently stuff’s planned for Britain in the same sense stuff’s planned for France.
“It might happen in the next few updates, who’s to say”

Where did this get mentioned?
I’ve seen nothing about a UK SPAA this update.
Not this update, in the coming updates. The updates later in the year. If they feel like it.

BVVD mentioned the Aster with SAMP-T for France and Italy…but nothing for Britain.
But yes it seems Britains version isnt ready, designed or modelled

They could literally just use the german Version tweak the model slightly and boom add an asraam then you have a supacat it really wouldnt be hard for them to add an spaa for britain they seriously just neglect some nations over the cash cow nations not to mention the MMEV which is just a lav chassis with adats turret that fires mims CRV 7s and iris Ts

Did he mention this in the Russian devstream? Or was this a statement made some time ago?

As a Joke
We are British
And we got Tracked Rapier recently
So we won’t get another SPAA from Gaijin soon.

Interesting, so Italy IS possibly getting a new AA, very swag
Italy will likely receive the French SAMP-T they have purchased them
SAMs for other countries that have not received theirs this update will get theirs next update. That is what BVVD said according to a trusted Russian translator I know. However, Gaijin needs to switch gears because SAMP/T did not use Aster-15 missile which has a range of ~45-50km comparable to SLM. Instead it used Aster-30 which has a range of ~150km+.
They should instead add CAMM-ER for Italy/UK and MICA VL for France (and MICA NG VL later down the road when it comes into service this year).
