The current aircraft event for the Dutch F-16A is starting this week!

will the new F-16A keep the PW-220 of the current early F-16A variants or will it have the PW-200 engine? none of the dutch block 5s received the 220s

War Thunder has 10 crew slots, with an 11th being available to obtain for inviting 10 friends who each unlock at least one rank III vehicle. This was quite difficult to do however, so we’re going to be lifting this restriction. The 11th crew slot will be purchasable for Golden Eagles instead and will not be obtainable via the referral system anymore. If you already got the 11th slot, congratulations, you already won the game having so many great friends!

Can we also get additional preset slots as well?

we’ve needed more for quite a while.

The crew skill window has been the same for years, and during that time it hasn’t changed much, making some important information hard to understand and localize. It’s showing its age now, so it’s time to improve it! We’re going to be updating this window with a more visual approach, showing the crew members and their location within the vehicle. Crew skills don’t only affect crew members, but also some other vehicle elements. These will all be highlighted (for example, the driver’s skills conditionally improve the engine and transmission, and all of them will be highlighted). This makes each part easier to understand, with more visual appeal too!

Can we get updates to how crew skills work as well? Its massively outdated and has too great of an impact on balance and is largely a P2W feature.

Especially the cost for Expert and ACE

@magazine2

Torpedo Lines On The Mini-Map

Cool addition.

Can we also get updated quick messages for naval too? Especially one thats like “Torpedo in the water, bearing XXX” which also pings your location for easy teammate communication

@magazine2

New Display of crew

Interesting, but will hold opinion until I see it first hand in game

@magazine2

Cockpits

I hope they dont end there.

@magazine2

Coming on to naval, we have various interesting vessels planned, with the majority of the additions being destroyers this time around.

Hopefully SAM destroyers for all like County-Class?

@magazine2

Also coming for American aviation will be the AIM-120D, which will provide the USA with a needed boost over the current AIM-120C-5. This missile will feature on a new aircraft variant coming next update. But you will have to stay tuned to find out what!

Only the US?

or will other nations get Aim-120Ds too? Or equivalents like Meteor?

@magazine2

We’ll be having a naval event for a US battleship afterwards

of course… Well… hopefully the next one will be Britian, as we are next in-line in theory for a naval event vehicle.

[Split4011-live]

on current PID values it overcorrects then doesnt react fast enough and repeats this constantly, causing all energy to get shit out.

ill go find the report on it rq

[JimmieJugend]

Probably Abbot

Nvm, thought it said light SPH

[CollectorOfSins]

Maybe they will add it to other nations later like they did with the c5?

[KillMe2UnlockDLC]

@magazine2

Skilled Pilot Pack

F-14D!

[exeisdefeatable]

By stealth if you mean 5th gen then forget it since we will get them next year

[boromas_1]

Expect a copy paste

[Macron-Spokesman]

Looks like it because Eurofighters didn’t use AIM-120D-3s.

[MertisWee]

Yes, because USA is handicapped in ARB n’ GRB

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

@magazine2

We’ll be having a naval event for a US battleship

Interesting! I wonder which it could be.

1920s South Dakota? A North Carolina/South Dakota/Iowa-Class?

[ILuvAnneHathaway]

I hope the mentioned US platform is either the EX or a new F16, both cool.

[Sean74218]

So Gaijin will make highly detailed cockpits. But why do they ignore the functionality of said cockpits?

[Grantaire]

@magazine2 @Smin1080p_WT
I presume there are still no plans to expand the Benelux subtree into naval?

[Fanta_3412]

Hopefully not another Hornet

[TorpidoRaptor]

:C When Su30MKI :C

[PacketlossRedux]

the lighter than normal makes me worried. in before the Hungarian low tier is 1-2 aircraft.
Even tho if we at least get the Me 210Ca-1 with all of its bells and whistles, I’d be happy for a while.

[MertisWee]

Oh now we need BMTP in air?

[DevilO6]

Palmaria, we already know this from the decal
