Major Update “Storm Warning” — DEV Server Changelog (10.12.2024)

Dear War Thunder team. Followed link leads you to a german documentary on YouTube about the Eurofighter (https://youtu.be/qFSOxaS6Q_I?si=v2XVsWSSTM6YbNL-). In the beginning, around min 3:20 they talk about general stats of the fighter and also the maximum fuel capacity. Later at around 18:20 they talk about how much the engine needs to run. They say that 1 engine (Eurofighter has 2) takes about 75kg or 75L in 1 min. 75×2=150. Earlier they said it could take 6215L of fuel. 6215÷150=41,433. At the moment on the dev server the maximum time for the Eurofighter is about 29 min flight time. Pls check if those data are correct for the version your are implementing in the game, but for me it looks like its a general stat about the Eurofighter so it should be the same for the one on the dev server. Like i said, pls check and if so, pls change this detail. Maybe take the time to watch the hole video, maybe there are some more data you can use.

Kind regards

Lukas

Kerosene (jet fuel) has density of 0,82kg/liter.
Which means 75 kg of fuel translates into 88l.
6215/176 = 35.
But that’s assuming it indeed carries 6215 liters and not kilograms

Make F-14B Great Again.

Seriously, a proper loft profile (numerous reports of it climbing up to at least 80,000 feet (24.3km for the proper people) are around if you simply take the time to look for them) and its actual top speed (because a missile that primarily dives down on its target like a ballistic missile isn’t going to somehow slow down.

The Fakour-90 had its own loft profile from day one but not a single ounce of love is given to the F-14B’s AIM-54C making it effectively a dead vehicle in the tech tree.

In short, Mach 5 top speed, proper loft and cruise profile (80,000 ft/24.3 km) and if it’s not too much to ask - its smokeless motor.

Is that thing supposed to rotate 180°?

Looks very unstable with the COG above the wings like this, and also the profile of the wings suggest gliding position would be “upside down”…

Yeah, it doesn’t rotate like it suppose irl.

Yep, just found a good image of it in flight: FAB-3000 with UMPK kit - UMPK (bomb kit) - Wikipedia

In the vehicles list you forgot the Alpha Jet TH for Japan.

They forgot a lot of stuff

Yeah it is as far as i remember…

Depending on the price, I’m actually intrigued by Tiger Ost, maybe West in a future too!

A full Tiger H1 5.7 lineup sounds interesting, and these new ones look so great.

Also, no hull smoke launchers blocking the gun at the corners!
