Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 3)

I guess maybe early attack aircraft rank 8 for USA tech tree A-6E SWIP Intruder (USN) or AV-8B Night Attack (USMC)

I guess new fighter aircraft toptier for great britain tech tree in rank 8 might be air superiority fighter/interceptor or multirole fighter

Not planned

The AV-8B+ or NA will certainly come to America sometime soon, probably this update or the next one, the SWIP would be very nice, but I doubt it’ll come until the TRAM sales drop considerably, and a new fighter was confirmed for Britain this year, which is likely going to be a Tornado CSP or SHarrier FA.2, though I am still holding out hope for a JAS39D.

I highly doubt it will be JAS39D simply because it exist in 1 example and was never armed with missiles or used in service. SAAF JAS39C or RCAF CF-18 are highly possible imo. Especially the latter one.

You guess gaijin surprised this major update hub ?

I might expect AV-8B Night Attack (NA) before AV-8B+ because AV-8B+ from USMC something better AV-8B+ from Italian Navy (Marina Militare)

Tornado F3 CSP & Sea Harrier FA2 good candidate new aircraft toptier rank VIII for great britain tech tree

I just know that currently britain tech tree lack Multirole fighter

How is american AV-8B+ better? I’m pretty sure they are the same

Also C&P is easier than making a new model

I thought it was still used as a trainer?

Maybe? idk

Yep. Agree 100%.
Game mode update > feature update/QOL update > bugfix update > vehicle content update.
I am sorry dear players, but what good is playing 5000 vehicles, when you have the same map, same game mode, same assets, at every rank. Might as well be 2 vectors of different collors fighting themselves in a void.

TLDR: I want new game modes man.

I want AIR RB EC the one we have in SIM. I want expanded game modes for G RB.

I wish for a AIR SIM promotion and reward increase, that more than 8 players would play it globally. Yesterday EC match 10 player kills, 4 deaths, highest score of both teams. Match taking 3 hours and I get 300k SL and from that you deduce 100k SL for my 4 deaths? With premium no less. Yeah, no wonder people don’t play SIM when I can get the same amount of SL with F-5C within 30 minutes in AIR RB.

I am so so so sick of playing what really is just a team death match in AIR RB, where every game is an epilepsy inducing 16v16 missile spam fest which lasts 5 minutes. Or the one sided team death matches in G RB, where you go around the map, capturing nonsensical circles. Its either you stomp or you getting stomped depending on what team composition it is.
Come on Gaijin, make Stale Thunder great again.
Rant over.

Imagine EC mode in Realistic Mixed Battles on full-scale Denmark with small battlefields and cool objectives in many places around the map. With players controlling tanks, planes and ships cooperationg together to acheive the victory.

One can dream

you could have Air and Naval doing the Usual Sim type EC while ground is implemented like these ongoing battles in BF1 and Battlefront 2

I don’t have to imagine it. I played EC mode in AIR RB between 2018/2019. I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago and it was glorious.

I always thought this was the devs ultimate goal, but they lost their way somewhere between greed and profit. There is hope though, with the recent road map. I hope they stay on track.

the game would turn from being a Quick simple and Arcady One to being a more complex interesting one

honestly I believe they’d only profit in the long run if they had a Mixed RB/EC mode

there would be no game that could compete to Warthunder anymore

I’m pretty sure that most of the new players think that way when they see:

I still have hopium that we will see the return of a proper and permanent ARB-EC mode, top tier needs it especially.

oh yes

having Big maps for Jets and one or more battlefields for ground alone would help a lot

with Naval not yet being any far in the Modern era we’d for sure have to see a Ground/Air only EC mode

Ye 2 airfields are absolutely needed for air rb. Same with reduction of players per team (at least for high tiers)
