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

This ^^^

Lots of airframes where much needed for aircraft to bring the tech trees forward.

The tanks spanish mentioned are just “T72 but more attachments” or Type 10 but different chassis or this isnt even in service yet M1E3…

Well, same can be said about “F-16/F-15/SU-27 with more missiles”…

It’s just how war machinery development and evolution works.

That one said coming soon. I’m guessing it was to imply it will eventually be in service in the next 6 years so it can be added.

I do agree with the SAM systems, they are much needed. also unique chassis and major upgrades to vehicles or different weapon systems are cool and needed. but nobody even wants another T72 or Type 10 if theyre just more of the same.

Precisely! About half of the tanks in the list could be implemented already, while the other half is: “these aren’t ready yet, but will be ready by the time we have already added the ones that can be added”.

I feel like for Japan it’d be better to just list the Thai Oplot-T and VT-4, since 99-0240 just adds mine roller plates to what would then be the 3rd functionally identical Type 10, while both the 48t package and APS integration are either not publicly revealed or just not done yet. They can still be included, but with a “(soon)” like the M1E3

I don’t think Thai was added at the time he made this

Oh, yeah! Back when I made this, 10 months ago, we still did not know Japan was going to get that subtree, so I did not include it. As you said we now got even more options via newly announced subtrees.

Yeah, that’s probably why these Type 10s were chosen. But in an updated version Thai tanks could be listed

Anyway, Teaser tomorrow?

another golden vehicle wow

Perhaps I will do an updated and slightly different list!

This time, without far future additions, since it can be confusing since most people believe that I listed them as if they could be implemented already. Or maybe separately with such disclaimer.

The point will always remain; Ground has NOT run out of potential additions. And if people consider that “just another Leopard does not count”, then neither should “just another F-15/16/SU-27/Grupen/etc”.

I could also add SAM systems, IFVs, LTs, and other vehicles.

If you do one for ground i’ll do one for air! :) Just dm your format if you would like me to do air.

I wouldn’t mind if u slipped any proto/cancelled project pre/post-Soviet in that list.

I like doing these things, hahah. I also did one for Naval, much longer ago (2 years ago);

I like it because War Thunder’s life cycle, basically, relies on new content being added periodically. So I like to have a slight notion of: “how much more content have we got left till the game runs out of possibilities?”

And I was gladly surprised that, just in terms of Ground Top Tier, we got easily 6 more years; and, by then, we will probably have even more real life stuff to add as well. Add all other tiers and Air, and we probably have 8 years worth of content still.

I agree! Like object 640, etc.

dev server always comes after the dev stream (same day or the day after), since we didn’t have one yet, vice versa there is no server. Expect the stream to be this friday, possibly next week tho.

Yeah, I bet it is fun. Honestly air would just be 17 different flanker variations and 12 and 13 different F16 and F15 variants.

I love how you cut the Sweden flag up into Sweden, Norway AND Finland, despite Finland not providing a vehicle in your list, yet you didn’t cut up the UK flag to fit South Africa in

That’s super cool, however I really didn’t understand if you wanted me too or if you didn’t want me to make an air one. All good if it’s a no because it is your thing!
