Hey, is there any chance that upcoming premiums like the Dutch F-16 could still be a pre-order pack?

Don’t worry, you will get F15EX, F15IA while Russia gets Su35 with a 360000 degree radar and 16 R77M, you will be happy, it will be balanced.

obvs it’ll get a new R37M variant with 69g overload, TVC. IR, TV, GNSS, ARH and DL guidance at mach 6.7

No more pre-orders for this one.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT would it be possible to nudge this bug report Community Bug Reporting System pretty please

may i ask why a classified document (that has now been removed) was part of the abrams post?

This one too
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/PW8tAm7AKXr7

what???

the post was edited and the part was removed but there was a classified document included

So they aren’t obeying their own rules regarding restricted/classified documents?
