The Yak-141 already opened a can of worms. This is just gonna open a bigger one. And let’s be realistic, you think Gaijin is gonna add this two right away
Iirc didn’t the XF5U-1 never have a proper flight? From what I can remember Smin say a while back, dreams come true events and scenarios where there aren’t any other available options result in a broader addition requirement (up to partially built)
Both XP-69 and XF-108 can be suggested AND implemented in the game, since they could be qualified for suggestions, per the suggestion guidelines.
XP-69 was 75% complete, which can be easily suggested as a future event reward.
I have to double-check with the XF-108. IIRC, some parts were built for it, such as the radar equipment, which was even tested.
Sadly, I tried to suggest F2Y Sea Dart, as I have found blueprints with planned armament. However, it was denied since the planned armament was for the production configuration, not for the prototype itself.
The XF5U at least has Taxi records and did accidentally make short “hops” (yes, not flight- but the beginning of testing is better than the XF-108 which never even saw that
I can see these things coming into the game in the far future when we start scraping the barrel for aircraft, but as it stands unfinished prototypes and “projects” cough cough, Soviet top tier ships should be avoided until necessary.
Tbh the soviet top tier stuff was kinda necessary for it to not top of at the Revenge and Conte di Cavour class ships. Still crazy how Soyuz is a jumble of 3 separate configs iirc.
Yeah I know, I’m saying that the same necessity doesn’t exist in the American air tech tree of all places, it’s got more than enough aircraft that haven’t been added yet that I’d love to see (AJ-1 Savage, XA-2J Super Savage, F-101, F-94 off the top of my head).
-1 Still a no
no matter how cool they look these stuff have no place in war thunder fake stats and will ruin realism in WT
As example look at the R2Y2 and 105 tiger II / panther II these are fake with made up stats.
“Realism” even tho War Thunder wanted to be a Digital Museum. I already made terms that these aircrafts will most likely end up in war thunder once the barrel is scrapped in terms of US Aircrafts. Someone already said the Aircrafts I mentioned could be implemented and qualified for suggestions due to the suggestion guidelines.
Thats your opinion. But unfortunately I won’t back down and stand on this hill that these aircraft should be in the game. I may be a hopeless romantic for wanting these but someone already gave me hope that these aircrafts could be implemented someday.
Hey fair play as the saying goes “god loves a tryer” but at the same time prototype aircraft have a horrible habit of being broken and always in an overpowered way. Plus seeing them in game ruins what little immersion the game has left.
