interesting to see we are including turret weight now lol. Namer and Merkava Mk4 weighing the same despite it not having a 27t turret and no extra armor, shame
True. I do genuinely hope they at least plan to give it ARM and ECM soon. Otherwise it’s just gonna be depressing for me every time I look at it in the hangar to have a SCANG jet that can’t do SEAD :(
Would be nice to know if they did so I can finally rest…
Whats even your point?
Are you comparing a wheeled chassis to a Tracked one now?
Surprise, the Tracked one is heavyer
So, is 120D useless in the test server anyway
how’s the derby er
Here’s an idea Gaijin.
How about you dont decide to add the literal 1 and only aircraft in the entire PLAAF/PLANAF inventory without ANY clear reference images of its cockpit?
And instead of giving this 2024 aircraft a cockpit from 2003 you work with what’s available?
Literally not 1 part of it is correct. its some horrendous J-11B J-10C J-15 kit bash

And it’s only going to get worse the more modern we get.
we are already at heavily semihistorical additions, gen 5s will be mostly fiction in Warthunder simply because there’s no concrete evidence for anything because that’s literally the current tech
Well, they are both premiums while the Italian G-14/AS is researchable. But I don’t think the tree really needs all of the Bf 109s it could get, I think either a Bf 109 G-6 or maybe a G-10 in the Hungarian branch before/after the Yak 9P would’ve made sense, but since we got the Fw 190 F-8 there instead of the attacker line, even a Hungarian Bf 109 G in the tech tree is not that necessary. But I think it’s good to focus more on domestic designs - not every copy-paste that can be added should be added imo.
the 190F8 imo is the better choice too compared to another 109 as it actually brings good ground striking abilities
New low-detail ground target in the CDK: M978 fuel carrier
Probably meant to pair w/ the unused low-detail M983 HEMTT also in the files, and be used as a ground target on the newer style wide airspawn maps variants like Mysterious Valley and Golan Heights have*, similar to how the M939 variants are currently used on those maps.
*but not necessarily on those specific maps, these could be for new versions of others instead

They’ll use complete fiction but then require full sources for reports. Can’t wait for the F-22 HUD to be missing/have broken target lock boxes, gunsight, or even an alt indicator or the MFD screens missing stuff but then they require primary sources for them.
Funny enough there’s more reference material for every other PLAAF/PLANAF jet even the J-35/35A
So theoretical could only get better in this case lol
No point, I’m taking a jab at gaijin strange way of modelling some vehicles, The Namer is currently modeled with less armor than a puma despite it weighing almost exactly the same as the Merkava Mk4 which has a 27t turret, that weight is SUPPOSED to be made up with armor for the Namer but it lacks it despite multiple reports. my comparison was that gaijin decided to, (I’m guessing) guestimate the turret weight on the new Eitan and add them together where as they seem to have completely ignored the turret weight on the Merkava when modeling the Namer.
And as we can all guess by now the Su-57 will just need some random brochure or probably just screenshots from the MSFS addon at this point to fix any issues with it.

Is the destroyer Verdun the only thing France is getting this update?
I am happy to get the 190 F-8, but we now have 3 aircraft for CAS at 5.0 (Italian P-47, Hungarian IL-10, Hungarian Fw 190 F-8), while we only have one Bf 109 in the research tree (Italian Bf 109 G-14/AS). I feel like we didn’t need the Hungarian IL-10 (190 F-8 is much preferred) and the 190 should have been in the attacker line in place of the IL-10, and we should’ve gotten a Hungarian 109 G-6 before the Yak 9P instead, because it’s a fighter line, and the 109 G-6 was Hungary’s most produced fighter I believe in its entire aviation history (700+ built), and because it would clearly come before the Yak 9P and that’s more logical placement than the 190 coming after it.
that’s like the worst possible way to justify it (hello bmd4m and swatrinf or whatever)
Yes, but the IL-10 is a better attacker. And P-47 can be dropped to 4.7, the higher BR is just a minor nation tax.
And I expected the Bf-109 because Italy does not have a 5.7 in the tree, where 109K-4 fits nicely. Italy themselves used that, and that is more important for me than 5 sub tree slop.
2.7 and 3.7 are also lacking fighters but Hungary is getting Ranks I & II filled, so no need for them.
