I hope it’s a natural 20 this time round

i mean that sort of fin setup has been around for decades so im guessing its pretty good. but then again, a dedicated AAM should also be pretty good
Welp, I found documentation a bit easier than I thought… so sadly I will probably report it when I have time.
The G overload itself is entirely due to the fins however, not the TVC unit. The TVC (Jet Vane Control, JVC, system) is jettisoned after orientation is complete, in which it is unlikely to be pulling maximum G load since it has yet to accelerate fully.

Makes sense
Let’s hope that losing TVC doesn’t end up being a huge nerf, even though it shouldn’t affect the missiles flight characteristics post launch at all
(if they even get rid of the TVC, that is)
I actually also realized it may not technically be reportable since the game gives no info on whether a missile has thrust vectoring or not, and datamines are not accepted. Don’t have the NASAMS yet either, but even then I’m not sure if TVC missiles even visually thrust vector or not to confirm it in game.

is the schedule posted yet?
Nope, we just know it’ll be tomorrow
Is the in-game model of the WM-23 missing the wheel covers when the landing gear is retracted? Or are they not supposed to be fully covered?
The WM-23 in War Thunder.
In all of these images/depictions of the WM-23, it has the extra outer wheel covers that allow the wheels to be fully covered when retracted:
In these however, it does not have this extra wheel cover, so the wheels are slightly exposed when retracted:
I’m not sure about this image, I don’t see the extra outer wheel cover on the wing, but it could be there but hidden by the shadow:
The question is did they model it right or wrong?
Malaysia and Indonesia gets added into Japan: crickets
Singapore will be fine

Alright I’ll explain the RMI-8:
It may or may not have been based on the Fokker D.XXIII:
According to some sources the Fokker D.XXIII prototype or probably just the plans somehow made their way to Hungary, almost certainly through Germany, and so the RMI-8 was based on the Fokker D.XXIII. However not all sources agree on this. It is possible the RMI-8 was not based on the Fokker D.XXIII and actually had nothing to do with it and Hungary just happened to create something with a similar layout/design independently. I am more inclined to believe in this version thanks to the existence of the RMI-6, which was an experimental/test aircraft built to develop and test the tricycle landing gear that they were planning for the subsequent RMI-8, which was essential to the layout of the RMI-8. I mean, why would you make the RMI-6 and develop the tricycle landing gear yourself when you can just copy it from the Dutch design you have?
The RMI-8 may or may not have been partially built, fully built, fully built and test flown:
Again, sources conflict each other and there is no clear verdict; it may have reached any stage from never even having left the drawing board and just being a blueprint with a 0% complete prototype, or it may have been in construction but not completed due to allied bombing, or it may have been completed but destroyed before it could make its first flight (like the RMI-1), or it could have actually been completed and even test flown as there’s a source with an alleged flight log/report from the test pilot describing the performance. So anywhere between a blueprint and a fully functional flying aircraft…
The reason for this unclear information is that there’s so little surviving info on this aircraft. It’s a top secret experimental prototype aircraft, so it already had limited info to begin with, and then most of this information/documentation/images were lost due to:
- the Hungarians destroying it to prevent it falling into enemy hands when Hungary was invaded
- the allied bombing campaigns having destroyed much of the info when they bombed these factories/airfields (Hungary was very heavily bombed during WW2)
- the Germans potentially seizing some data when they did a coup against the Hungarian government and occupied Hungary
- the Soviets seizing or destroying the data when they invaded and occupied Hungary
- the data being lost during the socialist era of Hungary following WW2
- some of the data may still exist but not have been found/rediscovered yet, as was the case with many rare Hungarian prototype projects from the war
The picture you are referencing/showing is a photoshopped fake. The writing on the side of the building is the main giveaway for me. The person who made it showed how they did it, so it’s 100% confirmed. It is a model of the RMI-8 (not the Fokker D.XXIII), so at least it shows the right thing, but it may or may not have actually been built in reality. Unfortunately, we’re just going to have to wait until more information is found or it can be determined which sources are right and which are wrong - until then, we can’t know for sure.

The Japanese one seems to be either the V22 prototype, or an A-1 or A-2 variant (although in-game they named it V22). So definitely not a Hungarian Ca-1. However there seems to be some disagreement whether this was one of the aerodynamically “fixed” versions or not. I don’t know. But it should certainly differ from the Hungarian ones in at least some ways if not all.

Why aren’t any additional fighters above BR 14.3 being added to Israel? This tree still only has a maximum BR of 14.0, and the only aircraft equipped with ESA radar is the Kfir C.10 at BR 13.0. This update could have added Greece’s Blk 70 or 72. Why not do that? Regarding air RB, this tree has consistently been one of the weakest since late 2025.

Follow the trend of China J-10A and J-10C.
J-10C was butchered and then they just add J-15T.
Just wait for next update to get your US F15EX, ISR F-15IA and JP F-15SG.
Israel might not get F-15IA as IAF has not received any F-15IA till now
KF41 Lynx is not delivered yet it is in game.
We also have a magical F16AJ for the air department soooo
Also, I noticed the “sheriff” decal which is supposed to be on the Héja I (because it was István Horthy’s plane) is incorrectly on the Héja II instead.
