Community Update No.13: What’s Coming Up!

sounds fair.

but at the same time DCT is meant to be BIG news for WTs anniversary. unless gaijin gives up and decided to make it a fake vehicle like the O-I i dont see its exclusive spot being used on anything other than the USA, Germans, Russians and by extension the British.

Its got to be weird and wonderful, but also known enough to be a headline grabber even for those not very invested in obscure military vehicles

It’s overdue for the US to get an actually capable SPAA instead of the slop that the NASAMS is…

please bro
Tbh im wondering why patriot hasnt shown up yet to begin with

Well the reason we havent gotten the original is because theyre too lazy to model SARH SAMS as evident with them making up a missile for the BUK-M3

But even then, we shouldve gotten the MEADS PAC-3 MSE or LTMADS whenever the SAMP/T came since the ASTER-30 is equivalent.

“Made up” btw.

It’s literally what would happen.

Sounds like this one on its way to bomb New York with oranges.

Spoiler

CANT Z511 Idrogigante

Although I would let others have DCT and add to smaller nations more regular stuff instead honestly.

Not having DCT and less vehicle events for minor nations with less options Also means a smaller % of vehicles the tree could get are unobtainable to future players.

The big 3 nations and Britain can afford the hit far better than Italy could

they would be busted in GRB. On small to mediumish maps they can wipe entire spawn areas of SPAA by you just dumping 10 of them with CCRP

Well, when it comes to early props Italy is in a very strong position, there are a lot, I mean a lot of different designs including some weird prototypes to choose from for regular, premium and event.

LTMADS radar with PAC-3 MSE would be magical

Honestly should’ve come with the SAMP/T
(And obviously the Pantsir SM-SV)

How many are famous enough to be a good DCT tho?

Famous is a very subjective word, I didn’t hear about KV-7 for example and encountered Pancake only probably a few times on the forum, but they were in DCT event, anyway, they can be less known than some American or Soviet vehicles outside of Italian community, but War Thunder is a good opportunity to make them more popular.
For example, how many people have ever heard about Italian R3 before War Thunder?

I wonder, how these installations will work, especially between submerged and surfaced.
PS would be wonderful if every nation gets at least one submarine upon the introduction of them, but that would be a miracle.

forgot that was a DCT. was an odd one as it had its onw LTM too, wasnt a traditional DCT to say the least, then again when was the last time russia didnt get special treatment?

ive seen things about the pancake for years and not just on forum. Admittedly a fair chunk was from people bashing World of Warplanes not realising its actually a real plane but it still is quite legendary for being the plane that made flying saucers so big in american pop culture in the late 1940s.

The other two DCTs were the Sturmtiger and TOG 2 which are hugely well known vehicles in and out of the gaming space nowadays just like pancake is.

After the success of NE, i can imagine they may make this years DCT a nuclear bomber to celebrate the renaissance for air battles the mode ended up being, something along the lines of a V bomber or maybe even the B-47.

Perhaps the M-345 this update?

More Smol Jet

You can’t leave the M-346FA without its smaller sibling, it’ll get sad

Unless the DCT event is a nuclear bomber variant or an Interesting WW2 CAS plane then it will be DOA, imo it should be a tank as they are far better event wise as there are different ways to play tanks and have far better choice compared to a plane with maybe different…engines or wing structures…

not being a vulcan or something doesnt garantee its DOA. DCT has been something very intresting every single time, they havent missed each time so far, doubt they will this time either

saying this like sturmtiger and KV7 werent rather crappy casemates made on a pre-existing hull lol.

I can confidently say the XF5U has not been seen as nearly as much as the other DCT vehicles sturmtiger has a 38cm howitzer who doesnt want that and KV 7 as much as i didnt expect it, it has 3 guns both have unique game styles, compared to planes that litteraly just turn in circles until one out turns the other in a ww2 setting.

Im not saying a plane should’nt be the DCT but they gonna need to pull something from deep within for it to be worth it.

It’s a cool plane that is off meta. Not every DCT needs to provide a new way to kerb stomp lobbies, fun and whimsy is allowed you know
