I was wondering what you guys think about the U2 Dragon lady possibly coming to wt? And how do you guys think it would be implemented? With gen 5 coming next year, there is a lot of talk about a complete overhaul of the objectives in arb. Maybe they could add a reconnaissance objective? What do you guys think?
ARB would probably still be too small. But for ASB such recon plane could work.

a whole new objective for a handful of planes?
A lot more vehicles than you think in warthunder have recon capabilities. In British tech tree, you can easily see which vehicles have them if they have “R” in their designation.
Example: FR 47 seafire, you can even see the cameras in the side of the vehicle.

I think he may have been referring to the ability to climb to the necessary height to intercept a U-2. I think
The snail wants to force us into meat grinding PVP, recon is unlikely, and probably won’t yield much scores even added.

Both tbh
Fair enough.
But in ASB, we could really do with some greater diversity of objectives at all BRs, but having identical objectives in Gen 4.5 14.3 jets as you have in WW2 props is just a bit boring. One of the easiest ways I can think of to add some diversity is to add additional variants of the current objectives and that should include them being at different heights. Having to climb up to 50k ft (in 14.3 only) to intercept a super high alt recon aircraft would be really fun. Whilst the U2 operates higher than that, it could be lowered to 50k ft or have a different reccy aircraft.
Even if it wasn’t catchable and downable, I’d not have issue with recon being handled by such a vehicle passing over the field.
Doesn’t need to be engagable, or even flyable to be present and in the future have something done with it.
Finally would a reason to use 120C-5 and play jets to their full capability, instead of these cramped ARB maps
Yeah, it would.
Immersive but gaijin is not aiming for this anymore

Realistically nothing will happen. People have been saying “Game is not ready for <whatever was just announced, leaked or suggested>” and it’s still the same. Sure the maps have gotten larger to accommodate faster planes but not much else has changed. Only notable change to gameplay is the lowering of the height at which multipathing effect appears from 100m to 60m AGL. The game is same old.
