Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Technically no, because it wouldn’t be German. However a swiss F18 seems like a decent possibility.

Not going to happen.

I’ve seen a lot of excitement and speculation about the F-18 potentially being added to War Thunder in the December patch. However, as of now, there hasn’t been any official confirmation from Gaijin Entertainment regarding this (correct me if i’m wrong please).

Most of the discussions and videos out there seem to be based on speculation or user-made models.

While the F-18 would be an amazing addition to the game, it’s important to manage our expectations until we hear something official from the developers, i feel people will be disappointed if it doesn’t arrive (but you can’t blame Gaijin for this, its people not addressing these expectations and as rumours start they get blown out of proportion)

If they do decide to include the F-18, I’m sure they’ll make an announcement in the next 3 to 4 weeks time.

They could also leave it until the teaser drops. To get maximum FOMO Return on their investment.

It depends on what needs to be sorted between the dev server closer and being launched.

Could be tomorrow, but more likely gunna be Monday/Tuesday

Most of the discussions are based on that the swiss F5 and F18 were on the leak list for the last update, but that list did also say that they might be delayed.

Sadly yes.

I’m surprised they went with an Su-22 for the premium considering how they love to put the F-5 in the premium line.

ooeee, yeah, i wouldnt mind getting that one too!

Although… The NC.900, Lorraine 155 Mle.50, Heavy Tank No.6, Ikv 73, J6K1, Ki-94-II, FJ-4B VMF-232, Me 262 A-2a, IL-2 M-82 wouldnt be bad either.

If i really had to choose… J6K1, Ki-94-II, Me 262 A-2a, IL-2 M-82 or the Heavy Tank No.6

Sorry for the Ping @Smin1080p_WT but can you tell me (when you know/can) if the AV8S will get the ARI-18228/19 (same as FA2) or will it come with the ARI-18223 as on the DEV.
This is the only thing RN that decides if i will open my wallet or not for the Mighty Snail :)

Also Fictional Japanes Camo for it in the next Camo Box pretty please

I completely forgot Austria existed I’m ngl.
Yeah Austria would be pretty viable then.
And they both have history going back God knows how far

In my opinion, Su-22M4 WTD61 transfer from German Democratic Republic (GDR) to Luftwaffe after 3 october 1990

Is it possible that gaijin could add new aircraft rank 8 for germany tech tree in the winter major update ?

Honestly Austria and the Swiss would make a good sub tree for Germany

That the most unfounded reason to have it as a premium, I’d would rather have the Swiss Trialed Gripen over this.

I hope not

If we are to believe that the F18 is close then i think the gripen should be avoided but if the F18 is to be added later the Gripen could be added, the problem rn is getting gaijin to nerf/fix the gripens to their correct C model since rn they are like the F5C.

Considering both Gunjob and Smin haven’t gotten back to respond to my question i assume the devs are blatantly ignoring the specifc models for each country since it would make them harder to balance.
