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

Sure (and imo India shouldn’t be UK’s sub but that’s another matter) but the Bison is more niche, it’s a second/third gen plane upgraded with modern equipment. With the 29M, we’d be talking about the most modern representation of a gen 4 jet being behind a paywall. That’d be like the 14.0 Hornet being premium, or maybe worse

True… And at the same BR as all the others 12.0s.
Premium privilege

Also Russia currently has 3 MiG-29’s filling up rank 8 so unless they do some foldering I’m think it’s a squadron vic.

But also this is the perfect opportunity to folder the MiG-29’s now.

New naval gun in the files: 14in/45 Mk.1 ( probably for the event battleship next week )
( Unused assets of War Thunder (2.54.0.20) )

New " killstreak " helicopters AH-64A and Mi-35M, specifically for Infantry mode use
( 2.53.0.109 → 2.54.0.20 Part 1 )

Hope the MiG-29 comes in Naval version 9.41 so that it can be put safely below Yak-141.

And I don’t think the MiG-29M is 13.7 viable

They’ll probably be foldered quickly, Gaijin is gonna folder alat of vehicles next patch, and sometimes vehicles much more different from each other

those guns are from the Texas class battleships, community post also spoke of the event featuring an american battleship…

@Smin1080p_WT Is the new F-16C Block 52 a PoBIT upgrade, or is it essentially a Block 52 with an AESA radar.

Block 52 with an AESA radar, lol

It’s looking like the PoBIT now with it having AN/ALR-69A(V) but files wise they are calling it the Block 52 AESA.

14in Mark 1 + Bliss-Leavitt Mark 9 means whenever it comes (probably event) it’ll be USS New York in WW1 outfit.

It’s better than the smt in almost every way that matter in game, so it will be 13.7 i think
(if they give it L-150)

I don’t think that 's related to battleships, the stats are new but the visual model has been in the files for a long time, and historically it wasn’t used aboard battleships.


i just saw this, how much of an “oof” is this for mains of these? lol

Because just like Eurofighters, giving the aircraft proper name (Tranche 3A) would cause people to want better ordnance or expect different 4th gen technologies.

Which does not fit Gaijin’s profit maximization formula and overhyping ESA radars.

minimal

Evening @Smin1080p_WT , the new X-ray 3D models are amazing, great work!
Any chance you guys have planned these detailed models for F-15’s, Eurofighters, Rafales and Gripens?

They look quite outstanding, other than serving a good purpose for the accuracy of damage models.

If it’s a Mark 9, like it is apparently called, then yes it is for battleships. I really doubt they’d add an S-boat next update.

I don’t know what are the sources for the report. But in all fairness, just saying HOBS doesn’t say anything really. The fact that it has an uncaged seeker makes it HOBS somewhat. I don’t think I’ve seen great sources on the overload or a specific HOBS situation (speed, distance, turning radius…) that would improve the missiles’s turning capacity
