CM Covert Disclosures No.4: Information & Q&A with War Thunder Game Director, Viacheslav Bulannikov!

turns way better, way better seeker, overall just insane missile

Gaijin either needs to drop the A-10s back to their original BR or give them the air spawn they said they would get when they reluctantly moved them up. I dont even know why they touched them in the first place. They said it themselves they weren’t great performers at their former BR, which is why they didnt want to move them. Then need to go back down to their original BR.

better than on a top fighter where itll get better range and be on a decent airframe instead of a brick that just about keeps up with a P-51

Still gonna be like 12.0 or 12.3 with 9x blk 1

Does that mean we can get this as a skin? 👀

I do hope that leak list is wrong. You just know there’s going to be a riot if an update comes without a new US plane and that list didnt have one. The money making wing of this game will be pissed. So hopefully the F/A-18C is coming. The only way I see no new aircraft coming is if something is getting like 120C-5s or 9Xs.

As much as I like hornet and want it this update, 9x and C5 is a major stretch

No.

30g all aspect missile slingers at 10.0 is the reason why 7.0-9.7 is so screwed balance wise. The F-104s, Mig-19s, and other flareless supersonic/transonic planes would not have gone down, and then the Mig-15s/Sabres would not have gone down. The A-10 and Su-25 ruined early jet BRs due to gaijins inability to balance stuff properly. It would’ve been better off if it got 9Gs or 9Js rather than 9Ls.

Man I can’t wait to fight Aim-9Xs in a Mig-21bis.

Gaijin’s own data said they were poor performers. They were nowhere need the curb stompers people made them out to be.

All radars in the game is same placeholders.
Planes isnt best, it’s all comparable.
All ARH missiles is long enough in game to learn to dodge it.

But you cant guarantee dodge RNG IR missile with TVC.

Thats the only compromise I can see if theres no new US aircraft

9M wont hit anyway at such AoA

Because they were played by new players in high tier premiums. 9Ls were also dodgeable on release, but that was quickly fixed.

They should not go down further, that is just recompression.

Then they need the airspawn Gaijin said they would get. If not, back down to their old BR. Im willing to bet they have even worse data now.

I do like skins based on the Red Baron, but that one is just straight up ugly

This is so tone deaf and it is VERY clear that someone isn’t playing their game or there is some overarching desire to force matches to be super short.

AI ticket bleed is extremely annoying towards the end of the match when it is 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 2 because you finally get a match where you are one of the last men standing, you all return to the airfield to rearm and as soon as you’re ready to enter into the final climax of the battle, the match just ends…

This happens ALOT. Especially on maps like City.

This needs to be changed ASAP!

Here’s a suggestion:

  • if the end of the match is approaching and it’s 3 vs 3 or less, all AI ticket bleed should stop. Allow the final dogfight to happen. This is literally the climax of aviation gameplay and your mission design is deliberately destroying it.

Please fix this ASAP!

They don’t need anything changed. They are pure CAS planes, if you still want to bring them into ARB you will have to deal with their lackluster performance

lol, lmao even

Nah, players cam learn to stop attacking them head on. They can go back down and I’m willing to bet they will in a few BR changes.

They won’t go back down. Them going back down would be a step towards undoing the small bit of decompression we got this year.
