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

God I’d love something like a B-52 in War Thunder. It could probably be like 7.0-7.7 easily.

Straight to Sim I go.

Airfields beware.

The BUFF is coming.

I know its dumb and none of them would be meta but god i want things like the ac130 or b52 after a bomber fix is made, it would be hilarious to wipe entire 4 bases off the map with a single mass drop of cruise missiles from the b52 or the c130’s

I’m imagining dropping 20-30 glide jdams lol

C-17A with Rapid Dragon deployed 45 JASSM cruise missiles when Gaijin?

Also the other Hercules, the KC-130J with Harvest Hawk kit, and MC-130 with Rapid Dragon and MOAB.

Considering B-66 is at 9.0, B-52 will most likely be around 9.7-10.3

yes this I would love this addition dearly.

also gaijin surely we could just have the b-one now right please

i really wonder how the moab could function in game

Like 10 FAB-3000 dropped in a single spot? Idk

Or like a handful of that one unmistakeably huge British bomb.

EDIT: GRAND SLAM. Man the British are good at naming things.

I’d imagine would be just a massive high drag bomb pretty much.

yeah they are, they made a binding vow that in exchange for never having good food they gain brilliant and badass naming skills.

It will definitely be considerably higher than that lol.

Ugh okay fine. 10.0 minimum

10.3

With the F-111 in the game I wouldn’t see why not. Even though the B-1B is nearly double the size of the F-111 in every dimension lol

THE BOOOOONEEEEE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

(Can you tell I just want strategic bombers?)

Also, just for the funny and to finish any “line” of strategic bombers:

I myself really dream about strategic bombers (especially the b-2), but so far it’s too early for them, I think. There is still a lot to go through and add a lot of systems and weapons before adding them, because most bombers have modern cruise missiles that we have not yet introduced in the game.

Well, I wonder how they could be implemented? I think it would be desirable for them to increase the appearance distance to 30-40km, since it is desirable for bombers to gain altitude in order to launch cruise missiles and gliding bombs. Well, the question of their survivability, relevance, and so on is also worth it. In general, it would be incredibly interesting, but at the same time difficult. We still have to reach that time. Perhaps strategic bombers will not even be effective in conventional tank battles, but in some other mode. In any case, it seems to me that they will be added after the appearance of the 5th generation of aircraft, now I think that the goal in var thunder aviation is to reach the stage of the 5th generation of aircraft.

I also strictly just want strategic bombers, I kinda just want specialist vehicles if they were added in some form i.e. stuff like the growler or awacs helping the team with stupid things

It’s what i tend to like in most games. its why I like cas so much because instead of just killing the entire team I like focusing on only killing air and targets that are actually gonna kill a teamate.

Gaijin, give us shared radar info and my life is yours I want to go to orbit in an f15c ge or f35 when they come and just give all the data lol.

its actually the most fun I’ve gotten from the dev recently is just playing the f18e and shooting down all enemy fox 3’s not to avoid notching but simply so the teammates don’t have to

Strategic bombers can replace UAVs as a supplement.
