Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

America is finally getting it’s AV-8B now… I can die in peace.

No no it wasn’t as gaijin only used the term sub trees/nations from South Africa forward, take a hint and stop being salty

It can track planes on the dev server, just not tanks…

Oh i guess they fixed the UTAAS sight, cant wait for that to not be here on live

and when started WT, I had a will to live, magic that, things change.
Get over it.

It automatically updates the exact range for the fuse. I hope it will be on live as well.

why does the MLU block 20 now only have 60 CM’s?

Maybe they changed it to the early block 20 MLU to justify it not having aim-120’s?

I still have all the Italian suff @ Ger TT, as it used to be. Its not much what they have in terms of domestic designs. A typical copypaste nation, which would be nothing without massive tech theft.

it was delivered to Taiwan with 120 cm’s

Yeah I know, there are two versions. The US removed the stuff from the early Taiwanese block 20 MLU’s because they didn’t want them to have ARH capability if the other Chinese also didn’t have those at the time.

Maybe they’re preparing another block 20 MLU (late) for the ROC that can carry Aim-120 and the cm upgrade on the hull.

(Speculation ofc)

Could also be a GJN mistake ofc

Worth also noting that the F-16 ADF for the USA and Italy were also not “planned to come” directly in the previous major, but as BVV said on the stream, it was possible that it would make it if it could be finished in time. Which they were and also why my previous answers of “no nation will get more than 1 Rank VIII this patch” changed. Because that’s what was planned to happen. But we had some last minute surprises that were finished in time.

( Major Update "Sky Guardians"- Rumor Round-Up and Discussion - Page 83 - General Discussion - War Thunder - Official Forum )

Italian F-16 ADF was just one of the planes they were working on for that techtree at the time, and turned out to be completed before the Tornado F.3 was. The american one wasn’t planned to appear at all that patch, it just happened to benefit from the work on the ITA one and was thrown in on a snap decision( otherwise, they would’ve stuck to their " one new top aircraft for this patch " statement ).

I mean 120 countermeasures (flares/chaff). It always had them from delivery to now with the F-16V.

Hopefully a mistake lol

Then I might be over-speculating haha.

Post about it on the dev thread. Dev Server Seek & Destroy

You mean the same rule that was already broken by italy itself, who had already been revealed to get the tornado IDS that patch.

iirc the block 20 is built to block 15 MLU standard’s

As I said before:

“Don’t want others to get your tech don’t EXPORT IT

War Thunder is a realistic game with tech trees based on nations, not industries. What’s more realistic than the vehicles the nation used? Nothing really it’s it the pinnacle of realistic.

Tornado IDS was not top tier. Wasn’t even close. After 18 months of buffs it’s barely 11.3 worthy and should be 11.0

Iam still angry at my younger self for not getting the italien planes back then before they got removed from germany since i was in the belife that somehow the Progression in another country is worse when you started with another one.
So i created a second account to grind the German Tree up to the BF 109 F until i got back at my main account.
Especially the Glorius camo for the M.C. 202 is what iam mad at myself, god is this one sexy.
Dame you past me, how could you belive such nonsense.

At least I expect gaijin considered AIM-9P-4 & AIM-9M swap AIM-9P & AIM-9L on F-16A Block 20 MLU

So in china tech tree maybe F-16A Block 20 MLU early with Air-to-Air armament in 1996 before AIM-120C-5 capability ?
