Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 4)

I saw that too.

Also chanson de l’oignon.

But I’m sad that people only know about this one, when there’s plenty of French military music that really gets under your skin ^^

Anyway offtopic x)

Don’t know thats right

Abt the surface-surface missiles in Oliviia 's new leak, does anyone remember this ?

There used to be a weekend event which ran until a little while after the low-detail flightmodel the V-1 used was no longer supported by the game: [Historical] Operation Crossbow - News - War Thunder

Players would intercept successive waves of them, if enough V-1 hit their airfield they failed the mission.
I imagine that the conventional-warhead weapons might be used for something similar, like the MGM-140 ATACMS which has just appeared in the dev files:

Nuclear-only weapons idk, maybe we’ll only get seek-and-destroy for their launchers ? Though it seems like we’ll be getting the actual missiles along w/ those, maybe they’ll be end-of-match things to catch before they launch. Like the last time we had Tomahawk ingame.

Correction via @gszabi99_HUN : all of the ground targets leaked by Oliviia have had their textures added to the devserver.

To me, this further solidifies my theory that the thing " not technically possible before " to be added this update according to Smin will be anti-radiation missiles.

Isn’t this also the first indication of Cluster ordnance in the files?

As the unitary warhead variant(s) (use a variation of the 500lb class WDU-18/B warhead of the AGM-84E SLAM / Harpoon family) is designated the MGM-168A (aka. MGM-140E early on, the missiles; the M48 & M57 in army service) and are the only variants that don’t deploy some form of submunition.

But then again it could be a similar issue to the RIM-66D / AGM-78D confusion, we won’t know I guess until we see the wireframe / 3d model to make a more accurate determination.

That might depend on if they intend it to have an effect on interaction w/ player vehicles, the nuclear bombs we already have ingame use sub-100gram " warheads " since their purpose ingame is to start a cutscene rather than actually hit anything.

In any case it 's definitely WIP atm, both ATACMS and S-75 currently have a 4.9kg warhead composed of explosive type 1E-05.

I can’t wait to get them. Gibe me all the funny pillows.

They seem to be adding them in pairs so I wonder who the next two nations will be after these as these are French and German.

anything of the fv107 found?

Not afaik, just these new ground targets for air.


Btw, does anyone have an idea what the " X55 " missile might be ? Closest thing I know of is the Kh-55 via cyrillic, but that one 's air-launched.

We made it to part 4. I’m so proud of all of you.

What about in another update?

Unfortunately not. But feel free to ask on WTlive for such a skin… Perhaps there will be a skin-maker to produce a “what if” M2000 camo for the Super Mirage.
