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

I do wonder though instead of Gaijin jumping the gun and going straight for stealth 5th gens if it might be better off to try stealth/reduced rcs by modelling the rcs of existing aircraft properly instead of them being all the same.

Or maybe adding some “stealth” versions of already existing aircraft in-game like maybe the F-15SE or F-16 Have Glass modifications. Whilst not being true stealth they could be good testbeds for stealth mechanics at top tier with good FM’s.

(Jesus Christ I’ve been trying to say this for the past 10 minutes but kept getting 405’d for the love of god please fix this)

afaik its 72, not that much but still a workable amount.

no way you compared vertical ACM to HMD.

F-117 stealth is pretty good in war thunder

su34 pesa radar can only lock it at 25km~

with current values available from datamines, it comes close to IRL “claimed” RCS values, which should not have been the same in game, shouldve been higher, but doesnt matter at its current BR anyways.

People just dont know how to use it, they go so close to SPAA and get themselves killed

Stealth doesnt make you invisible, nor harder to lock, it just reduces detection distance and lock distance, with much more advanced AESA radars, it should be acquired around 70 - 100km. Future stealth jets should be around this RCS too.

I hope gaijin will rely on their own RCS simulations on these jets, rather than pulling nonsense rcs values online, especially regarding f22 and f35.

They removed this ship decoration:

and added this new ship 's flag:

I still think the above one could be part of a preorder pack bonus. But if this new flag is not added to Yamato or the selection of other custom ones at update release, it 's possible that one or both of these could be part of the Naval event stated to be planned for after the one month S.U.M.M.E.R. no-event gap.

What does the flag say?

KF-21 can go to Japan through Indonesia, if Indonesia ends up as a subtree for Japan as previously leaked.

A Korean KF-21 should only go to a United Korean tree as their top air vehicle… There aren’t exactly a lot of indigenous Korean aircraft so it kind of has to be there.

I’m not literate enough to read vertically, sorry.

Appearently these are the characters used in it: ( 非理法権天 ), if you want to try MTL.

I was always surprised that the Su-34, which was added the same update as F-117, didn’t get its reduced RCS modelled.

I got 405’d trying to reply to this.

The F-117 is so far the only aircraft that received reduced rcs (even though the mechanic is kinda broken), if they were to give the hellduck reduced rcs they’d have to do the same for quite a few aircrafts starting with the eurocanards

Fine, they can get Buk Kub (text says SA-6, which is 2K12 Kub) launcher… and only the launcher >:3 (unless this “unit” means whole thing, including stationary or mobile radar set Edit: Went through the text (what a god awful fond and formatting, had to copy in Word to read properly), nowhere is stated if they had ground based or mobile radar set)

Official number (probably a low-ball) for the F-22 is 0.0001 m^2 RCS, not much to simulate there

I think the Kaiten is indicative that the next naval reward could be Kitakami.
As for the flag… it is supposed to be the banner flown by Yamato on her final voyage. I suppose it would fit the apparent theme of suicide they might be hinting toward for the next naval event.

The complete SA-6 missile unit which is multiple vehicles

Still leaves the question of the radar set, which is the most important one

Can i get something cleard upp real quick @Smin1080p_WT ? so im not sure who and when it was said but someone mentioned the UK, France and Italy is getting new AA’s, im in the Belif thay said next uppdate (after Leviathans) and my friend belives its this uppdate

Definetly not this major. Would have been anouncned by now. Might be next major. In the Dev stream they mentioned the French SPAA thingy was in development and Italy does also operate that. This might leave Britain screwed once again

@gromvoiny any more pre-order packs for this patch or they all been shown off?

Possibly the MiG-29 Sniper, but that could just be a pack released with the update instead of a pre-order
