Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Generally just a dev decision to go with this one. But its not a barrier to the other version perhaps being possible in the future in some way.

sweden needs a new top tier AA right now - its unbearable. Just played 5 games of top tier with my ito-90 and elde 98 and got pounded by the mi-28nm and su-30 with the kh-38mt. How is this in the game when i cant counter it? Its not fun ffs

And there is nothing to do when i am agaisnt germany and ussr. No iris-t slm that can kill anything. Sweden needs either NASAMS or ideally the IRIS-T slm or danish IRIS-T slm so i can kill these CAS players that are ruining my experience

Is fun not a priority in war thunder @Smin1080p_WT ??

Please dont spam tag me.

A new top tier AA system is not coming for Sweden this major update. We have already been clear new SAMs should not be expected this major.

To be fair, J-10 was a center point of the update few majors ago, so doubt they gonna put it on a spotlight again (even if a better model)

Both dont exist yet.
Gajin soesnt add vehicles that were only ordered normaly.
Only after they have been delivered, since the choice could still always change

I suppose saying nothing at all could be a form of teasing

To be honest idk what would be more important, a new Sam or a new plane. Sweden is lacking in both so either is fine

Cool, I wonder if it’ll be premium or event or something

Well, Smin just denied a SAM so a plane or tank it is

SWE got a bunch of Norwegian mosquitos last time around so maybe it’s the same now but with higher ranks

Could still be an event of some kind, just a special one for a anniversary or holiday

Its pretty simple man, none of us use helicopters for the most part, the environment just makes them a worthless addition as most of us are more concerned with a naval invasion. Finland has too thick of forests for Helis to be really that worth while and same for the rest of us. Really the only Heli Sweden could get would be the ASS50 Fennec from us but that only has Tows.

The best thing gaijin could do is focus on bolstering swedens CAS to make up for the lack of viable helicopters and to Bolster their SPAA. Theres really not much else they can do.

@Smin1080p_WT Hey, I know they’re WiP, but is it known if the YJ81 is planned to be exclusive to the newly added tech-tree JH7, or will the other two get it as well?

Both Sweden and Norway use blackhawks, but they lack the equipment for those weapons, they could get the mount to use 4x hellfires total but thats about it.

hey quick - (dont recall)
but does any pack go to sale after this current anni sale?
or is this usually da last big sale of the year?

Idk, i feel if we start doing that its just gonna cause more problems, people already have enough animosity against sweden for the T80U, Mi-28, and the AHS, even if its a Danish helicopter i don’t believe it would be the best idea to give it missiles it might be able to use, or even if it could use them it would cause problems as people would be upset that it got something it never used.

Let’s not restart the debate as it went way off topic last time. It suffices to say there’s a case to be made for Danish Seahawk, as it’s a strike helicopter and theoretically could take Hellfire/JAGM. We already know the US ones can.
