Dev Server Feedback Update - Heavy Cavalry

[THEPolishThunder]

Anything on the Leopard 2PL spall liners?

[ChieftainWarrior]

I really like this; I hope you do feedback updates like this from now on.

@Smin1080p_WT

Next week, we’ll cover the Abrams, so please keep an eye out on the forum for another post.

Good, looking forward to see it getting updated, and hopefully not another ‘clear marketing lie’ situation.

[PJ_2003_TH]

Ahhhh C+ should have ability to shoot down all aspects, Mach 5 , and better G overload. Not like thisssss!!!

I will look forward to this, as well as many thousands of players.

Soon, a new report with more and better information than ever will be uploaded, which will hopefully be of help to model it properly!

The standards to revise M1A2 SEPv3's armor NEED to be revised and calibrated

poll LINK OF INTEREST: M1A2C hull armor incorrect bug report updated.zip (229.6 KB) EDIT: I have just received a really comprehensive message from a quite well cultivated user on Reddit, and also a sweetheart. I will share it here, for I find it to be a quite constructive contribution to our cause;

Hello SpanishAvenger, I’ve seen your posts regarding the M1A2 SEPv3 debacle on the main War Thunder subreddit, and I would like to give you some advice that may assist you in your crusade …

The F-16AM premium Rank VIII for France

Based on your feedback, we’ll be changing the Belgian premium F-16AM to a Dutch example. We’ve heard your suggestions regarding a change to diversify the available examples away from the existing Belgian ones, so the premium will now reflect a variant from the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). This changes a few things about the aircraft, for example it will have a different radar and electronics and the inclusion of a LITENING pod. The aircraft will retain its AIM-120 AMRAAMs.

This was a highly anticipated change I think, any chance you could share more info in the radar or skins?

Here is its suggestion for those interested:

Dutch F-16AM Block 15 MLU

poll Dutch F-16AM Block 15 MLU Hey! This is a suggestion to add RNAF F-16AM to German air tree in order to diversify the top tier a bit. Mig-29’s hold their ground pretty well but having a bit more diversity especially having such a loved aircraft might really be a lot of fun! [image] Description and History The F-16, also known as the Fighting Falcon, is a tactical fighter aircraft with a single engine and supersonic speed capabilities. It was originally developed by General Dynamics, now…

(Anything to not have a premium Belgian vehicle in War Thunder lol)

[Kingskofi]

Will ALARMs be added to other planes that are capable of using them?
It being only on the Gr4 is incredibly underwhelming

[joshje100]

Only responding to feedback on the F-14D’s weaponry and not the overwhelming feedback of the issue regarding it being locked away as a premium?

[POLL] F-14D Should Be a Tech Tree Addition to the US Aviation Tree

This thread is NOT about the F-14D’s armament problem. Discuss here in this thread instead. poll With the F-14D now being added as a premium pack and currently serving as the only way to play the F-14D, I believe we should also receive a researchable F-14D in the US aviation tech tree, perhaps with a different livery. This poll is not intended to cancel or replace the premium F-14D, but rather to provide an additional option for players. Why am I asking for this? In the past, Gaijin marketed …

Can we get a full response to this and an explanation as to why the final Tomcat variant is being locked away as a premium?

This poll is nearly at a 1000 votes and is the most voted poll of this dev server but not a single official comment in the thread.

[Tech-Tree-F-14D]

This update is both underwhelming and disappointing.

[Aisbitt034-psn]

What about a tech-tree F-14D?

I am excited for the next sales :)

Either way, I’m happy to see this type of feedback post! More transparency is always nice :)

[Michael-IR]

So should the regular C

[Tech-Tree-F-14D]

With how they are handling the F-14D I don’t have hope for the Abrams.

[kitchkitch26]

This is a step in the right direction for communication mid Dev Server, with everything going on, I appreciate the team giving formal update responses!

The F-16AM premium Rank VIII for France

Based on your feedback, we’ll be changing the Belgian premium F-16AM to a Dutch example.

Nice. So will have to pick this up when I can. (Same with the Leo 2). And finally, more modern aircraft for the Dutch.

@Smin1080p_WT

M-346FA position change

Hopefully, like this happening the 1A5BE is moved to the same line as the Leo 2s and given the Belgian domestic ammo(even if half of it might up the BR) it should have.

edit: also Belgium and its only bluewater ship, which Germany is getting.

Are there plans for France to get actual French designs?

Not only have there not been any new French tanks or planes since December 2025, France’s top tank pack is a Germany Leopard 2a4 and the Top air pack is now an American F-16AM, neither are actually domestic French designs.

Additionally, none of the BeNeLux additions have actually been functionally unique or new (Fokker’s aside), and while BRs like 9.3 could use additional TT vehicles, France has plenty of domestic options that fill a similar role and can sit at that Br.

Nuclear Escalation

Also how about reducing the accuracy of AA, making them susceptible to chaff and notching, and fixing the Buks that will fire on you the second you take off?

[Deadsnake_war2]

Is there news on the Buk m3 being able to launch right away once you take off from the AF, which is also one the main problem that bluefor faces

[AspectOfTheRAGE]

@Smin1080p_WT

In the future, we plan a more through revision of the Damage Model (including armor), which will eliminate current inaccuracies and improve clarity, as well as an addition of spall liner and correcting the placement of internal modules.

Holy W announcement

Would you like having another list with pending/unanswered reports for it ;)

Feel like any additional material would come in handy if a extensive ‘rework’ of the damage model is intended.
