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

[Nostalgistic]

Small feedback. Since SC-1 is only available to use if you are controlling the Iowa battleship, please consider adding the Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk as a researchable tech tree aircraft. Compared to the OS2U-1/-3, the SC-1 is a far more capable seaplane, so it deserves its place in the TT.

Edit: I opened a topic for this one. Please leave your support here. Thanks so much.

Make the SC-1 Seahawk a Researchable Aircraft in the US Air Tech Tree

poll Hello. With the recent addition of the USS Iowa to War Thunder, we now have access to the SC-1 Seahawk as its scout plane. However, as the creator of the SC-1 Seahawk suggestion (linked above), I was disappointed to see the aircraft made exclusive to those who own and operate USS Iowa via modification. I propose that the SC-1 Seahawk be added to the US Air Tech Tree as a researchable aircraft. As a more modern and capable seaplane compared to the OS2U-1/-3 Kingfisher, the SC-1 features …

consider doing this for all float planes currently locked behind having to play some ship.

• 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] City.
• Changes have been made to all Air Realistic Battles missions with aircraft carriers:
• Destroying all aircraft carriers in one of the teams does not result in an instant win anymore;
• Each team now has two aircraft carriers and two ships escorting each of them;
• You cannot spawn on aircraft carriers, you can only land on them mid-battle to repair and rearm;
• In missions where one of the sides did not have an airfield, an air spawn was enabled so that both teams are on equal terms.

This is great!

However, let us spawn on them too. Its one perk that naval airframes should have.

[Nostalgistic]

Supported. I would love to see this.

no ADATS fix🥀💔

Finally my Tornado IDS can actually use the Kormorans!! Lets go!

@Stona_WT

Wiesel 1A4, Luchs A2, Marder A1, Marder 1A3, KPz-70, MBT-70, SUB-I-II, Type 87 RCV (P) — the rate of fire of the 20 mm Rh 202 cannon has been increased from 800 to 1030 rounds per minute

This is lovely

[MrBombastic8]

@Stona_WT

Kh-38ML, Kh-38MT — a limitation on allowed missile release speed of M1.5, which was erroneously missing, has been added. (Report ).

bruh thats like nothing…

[Master_Teaz]

@Stona_WT

Fox — maximum top speed has been increased from 99 to 105 km/h. (Report). The turning radius of the vehicle has been reduced. (Report).

Definetly giving this a test out

@Stona_WT

Daimler Mk II — engine power has been increased from 95 to 110 HP. (Report).

An amazing vehicle gets better!

@Stona_WT

• Wiesel 1A4, Luchs A2, Marder A1, Marder 1A3, KPz-70, MBT-70, SUB-I-II, Type 87 RCV (P) — the rate of fire of the 20 mm Rh 202 cannon has been increased from 800 to 1030 rounds per minute. (Report).
• Luchs A2 — transmission gear ratio values have been adjusted, the number of forward and reverse gears has been increased to 8. (Report).

Luchs actually becoming Usable?

@Stona_WT

• G6 — vehicle turning radius has been reduced. (Report).
• Eland 90 Mk.7 — vehicle turning radius has been reduced. (Report).

Both also Great!

@Stona_WT

• Cromwell V (all variants) — transmission gear ratios have been changed, maximum speed has been increased from 52 to 64 km/h. (Report).
• Achilles (all variants) — gunner optics magnification has been changed from 1.9x–3.5x to 3x–6x. (Report).

A lot of British stuff getting better? What on earth?

@Stona_WT

Harrier GR.7 — PHIMAT pod has been added. Source: AP101B-0607-15B Harrier GR Mk 7 and GR Mk 7A Aircrew Manual Book 2 - Operations.

good good, still missing it on the Tornado F.3, but it’s certainly a start

@Stona_WT

The Fox has been grouped with the Scimitar.

Should’ve been from the start, atleast it’s retroactive

@Stona_WT

The mechanic is available on the F-111A.

And Hopefully all other aircraft known to be able to light their dumped fuel on fire? F-111F, F-111C F-14, Gripen (iirc)

The carriers are still defo my favourite change so far

[Selasco]

So… No turret basket modeling for others mbts??? “next update will be more” lies again

[Kingskofi]

Another update without a fix to the eurofighter’s radar.

Kh-38ML, Kh-38MT — a limitation on allowed missile release speed of M1.5, which was erroneously missing, has been added.

No response on this things existence i see

[純田まな_Mana]

Suggestion: F-16C, F-16 MLUs should also receive AIM-120C-5, since these aircraft only have access to maximum 6 fox 3s. Also many nation have F-16Cs and improved F-16A that’s capable of firing C-5. It would make this jet not being useless compared to things like F-15E/I, and we would see more players play it.

[Danzig_A11]

Naval is going to be interesting next patch

Spoiler

@Stona_WT

You cannot spawn on aircraft carriers, you can only land on them mid-battle to repair and rearm;

why?
Carrier ops are rare enough and you make them even rarer?
We need more carrier ops, not less.

@Stona_WT

F/A-18C Late, F-15E, F-15I Ra’am — AIM-120C-5

okay, I thought we get the C1 then c3 and c5, not straight to the C 5.

@Stona_WT

A bad weather warning is now displayed in all missions with the ability to respawn on an airfield. The warning is shown on the statistics and spawn screens for all vehicle types in brackets next to the weather conditions of the mission. The following conditions are considered bad weather: Hazy, Low cloud cover, Fog, Rain, Storm.

cool
Bad weather.

@Stona_WT

Plus, the whole system will be considered lost when all launchers available to the player are destroyed.

I would like the ability to be a spotting radar for the team, should be all launchers destroyed (which should be rare, bc the radar is the priority)

[AIM-9_Is_Coming]

@Stona_WT

F-16 (all modifications) — the fuselage flare/chaff pods now dispense separately from each other — a total of 1 countermeasure per launch instead of 2.

Huge win!

[kitchkitch26]

Still no change to Abrams model, APS, or bulkhead. And no baskets for more vehicles.

[MrBombastic8]

there wont be any

Could we have this in simulation please, it would make the mode a little better

They made them more common? What are you talking about?
