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:

  1. the Hungarians destroying it to prevent it falling into enemy hands when Hungary was invaded
  2. the allied bombing campaigns having destroyed much of the info when they bombed these factories/airfields (Hungary was very heavily bombed during WW2)
  3. the Germans potentially seizing some data when they did a coup against the Hungarian government and occupied Hungary
  4. the Soviets seizing or destroying the data when they invaded and occupied Hungary
  5. the data being lost during the socialist era of Hungary following WW2
  6. 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.

So when will the dev server open today? UTC+0 07:00 ?

KF41 Lynx has been delivered to Hungary and it is being produced there.

Didn’t KF-41 enter service with Hungarian army in 2022?

Ah yes, I forgot about that. But even then i don’t think Israel would get F-15IA and would instead get Greece Rafale

It was delivered in 2024. Lynx was added into WT in 2023.

“Hungary received its first Lynx, an IFV, for the HDF at Petőfi Sándor Barracks in Budapest on 15 October 2022”

It’s Gaijin, they can probably shoehorn one in anyway.
Or just decide to give F-15SG to Israel.

Or they could add Greece rafale since (IIRC) Greece is a planned subtree for Israel

I think the J-10A is a decent fighter, and even the J-10C is stronger than the F/A-18E. Also, the F-15SG is basically a derivative of the F-15E, not the EX. There’s a significant gap between the EX and the SG. China gained its second AESA-equipped fighter with this update. But what about Israel? Nothing like that has been added since the C.10. The highest BR in the tree is a downgraded version of the F-15I and 16C blk50. And you still say China is weaker than Israel?

You missed the point? Nobody said China tree is weaker than Israel. The point was the J-10A/J-10C when added were under performing and Gaijin solution is to add a better plane to entice players to grind harder.

Remember the USA outrage when F-15I was added to Dev Server? Furthermore J10A was only decent after it was buffed. And J-10C while getting buffed, is moot since new J-15T is being added.

You will just have to wait for your Greek Rafale and F-15IA.

does anyone know what time the Dev Server should open today?
