Major Update “Leviathans” — DEV Server Changelog (16.06.2025) - dev server is closed

They could juts copy and paste the su30 pretty much and give it different missiles

Well, I’m afraid it’s a F20A situation again. I didn’t found any close variants of this.

The BR might end up being higher on the live server, but this wouldn’t be the first time a premium ends up being better than the TT variant at the same BR (F-4S, NF-5A (unless the BR gets changed), Netz (Mod), Sea Hawk Mk.100, G.91 R/4, Su-39, MiG-15bis ISh, just to name a few)

Wait so for now you will make the c5 just a but better than A and B only?Not even like an upgrade from r77 to r771?what a waste of player expectations

God they should’ve just stuck to special livery copies of tech tree stuff as premiums and not c*ck players out of unique stuff.
But here we are and Wargaming are at it again.

Yup, it’s a real shame to see how many unique vehicles end up being premiums (or event vehicles) and how often premiums are straight upgrades compared to TT equivalents at the same BR

A big part of the improvements introduced to the AMRAAMs over time were software and countermeasure resistance stuff that isn’t modelled in-game.
The R-77-1 isn’t that much of an upgrade over the base R-77 either and I would argue that the difference between the AIM-120A/B and C-5 is bigger than that between the R-77 and the -1.

Lines added/edited:

  • MiG-29 Sniper

  • T-72B3A

  • In the following missions for Air Realistic Battles, aircraft carriers have been added for both teams: [Operation] Golan Heights, [Operation] Golan Heights (air spawns), [Operation] Southeastern City, [Operation] Central Tunisia, [Operation] Denmark.

    • Each team now has two aircraft carriers and two ships escorting each of them. In the missions where it is impossible to place two carriers, each team has only one.
  • European Province (all missions) — a few buildings that were previously missing from the minimap have been added.

  • The number of purchased ships required to unlock Rank VI and VII in Bluewater fleet trees has been decreased. Players now need 5 purchased ships instead of 6 in the current rank to unlock the next rank. Currently, this change only affects the USA and Great Britain trees.

  • All Tiger II series tanks have received their own engine sounds that differ from the Tiger series tanks.

The initial carrier take-off is still being removed?

Come on, why can’t Gaijin let us keep the carrier spawns?

@Stona_WT the Devs should maybe consider that for the new Anti Air menu it would be an idea that the mouse cursor is allways on (or atleast add an option) since its kinda pain that you have to press ALT all the time you want the mouse cursor to click on the diffrent screens

Yeah, i know, but i will always be against this type of implementation. You can somewhat make a point that F-4S upgrade over F-4J only marginal (slats don’t change the fact that it’s still a fat Phantom and 9H is almost identical to 9G apart from a single stat that barely matters), but still it shouldn’t be the case, P2W is a bad way to introduce paid content.

not in WT undofrunately, with very oversimplified drag characteristics of grid fins R-77-1 is quite a significant upgrade just because of the engine. But we also haven’t seen C-5 in actual games in full lobbies, they could change the experience quite a bit.

still no Bismarck added to the list on the Germany naval fleet

Gaijin shafting potential trees at full throttle. Now shafting twice per update.

Meanwhile the 4 Block 10 F-16s Italy got screaming to be premiums

5 ships is still a lot, especially considering how little research you earn in naval battles and how expensive it is to research each ship. Even with this change, progressing through the ranks remains very slow and demanding.

Ah, so the C-5 still only is an upgrade in terms of range on the devserver?
Well, in that case the increase in performance from the AIM-120A/B to the C-5 and from the R-77 to the R-77-1 is basically the same.

Hard to say, i didn’t tested them myself, don’t have a single C-5 carrier researched, only reliable thing that i can say from statcard is that it has more guidance time and 0.4 Mach top speed more than 120A/B. How it will work in combat scenario i honestly have zero clue.

@Stona_WT, I wonder why the addition of carriers (and ships) is restricted to RB: We have for example Sinai Isthmus as large scale / high tier Sim EC map with no ships, while IRL the Suez channel is a massively important waterway…

USS Forrestal (CV-59) passing the Suez channel…

Adding ships and carriers to suitable Sim EC maps would be a welcome addition!

To be fair, there’s hardly any maps with ships existing in Air RB or Simulator Nowadays in the map rotation, with 1 or 2 exceptions. I hope we will see a return of them with a respawn mechanic added or an airfield placed on an island to solve the old issues where one team had places to land while the other one was missing any airfield for ground-based aircraft (like bombers and attackers too big to land on a carrier).

So, since the MiG-29 Sniper is being used as a premium

What will the MiG-21 LanceR be?
