Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Ah yes adding the F-15J to the current top tier. That totally isn’t a recipe for disaster.

Me or Legwolf?)

Thats a dogshit reason imo
Every country evaluates the best options available to it when choosing new kit. Britian was nevee going to buy F14s because of the cost.

Its a fantasy.

F-18s are unlikely, but possible.
And SAAF Gripen is more likely than a Commonwealth F-18.

@someweirdname Aw, I’m glad you see yourself as a Razer.

F-15J would be in-line with F-16C & Mig-29SMT.

The development branch is called UK, not the Commonwealth. What smin said is as vague as it gets

Gripen is also likely yeah. I’m just throwing out alternatives

You have no way of knowing that. Please stop speaking as if you do.

Yet iirc at the same time the most recently added australian vehicle was added to the US tree.

Damn…if only the community manager made a comment that gives context as to why…
"We have not confirmed every single Commonwealth vehicle will be moved or added to the UK tree. As explained in the T-90 blog, we do indeed plan to add some nations in to supplement the British roster.

But currently we do not have an Australian and Canadian sub-tree home in the UK tree. So their vehicles can still be deployed to the most applicable nations in game where those needs are present on a vehicle by vehicle basis

Isn’t the J pretty much an F-15C?

I mean I wouldn’t mind, because the F-15 is probably my favourite plane IRL. The sooner I can fly it in game in a balanced environment the better imo.

Imagine the F-14K with Rolls Royce engines now that will be a sight

“But currently we do not have an Australian and Canadian sub-tree home in the UK tree. So their vehicles can still be deployed to the most applicable nations in game where those needs are present on a vehicle by vehicle basis”

Remember this phrase and calm down

Yes I do. Thai sub tree is a suggestion, which means that F-16 OCU is possible for War Thunder, a 12.0 F-16.
“Fake” vehicles are removed when an equivalent replacement is found.
So F-16AJ, a 12.0, wouldn’t likely stay in the tech tree if Thailand becomes Japan’s sub tree in the future.

@_Renzo
Yes, F-15J is a domestically produced F-15C. It’s balanced right now. AIM-9Ms and AIM-7F/Ms only.
Unless we get a MSIP F-15J.

here’s what i expect for usa tech tree
Gripen gets added, and the most likely thing is that the Eagle will get added too (considering gaijin)

What inside knowledge do you have that confirms that a Thai sub tree is coming?

…which is my point???
The need is present. CF-18 fills that need.
Where are we not connecting here?

And with the Eagle, comes the Flanker

The big differences between the A and the C wouldn’t be seen in game. Lots of electrical improvements, ECM, that sort of thing.

It’s the same engine and airframe

But all this wish listing about US jets in every tree.

Why don’t you guys just grind US instead of trying to get the F-14 in the UK tree…

they gotta add ECM now, we’re going more and more advanced in the technology sector and we still don’t have something that was used before the 70s
