Sons of Attila - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Game Discussion General Discussion

WELCOME to the War Thunder - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion Thread!

Here you can discuss everything related to the upcoming major update, including rumors, data mines, and dev blogs.

However, please AVOID these types of discussions:

Wishlisting. Some examples:

  • “I want the F-22 next update!”
  • “Gaijin where are these vehicles!!!” <lists 10 vehicles they want in the game>

There’s a separate thread for this here

Vehicle spec discussions, such as armour, ammo, ordnance, guns, data sheets, performance. Some examples:

  • “I hope for these vehicles, they will balance the game. They have XYZ ordnance and will counter the XYZ!”
  • 2 page discussions about what type of ammo a new tank in a dev blog will get. Now this is fine for the most part since a vehicle in the dev blog is part of the next update, however it can escalate into completely other discussions so do be careful!

There’s plenty of threads for these discussions here.

Bug reports, issues, suggestions, feedback for dev-server or testing. Some examples:

  • “Abrams is missing its thermals. However that’s not meant to be as it had this historically. Smin fix this!!!”
  • “I think that Challenger 3 would be a good addition to British Ground tree, here are the specs for it”
  • “This thing is bugged on the dev server, devs please fix it!”

You can make a bug report here and suggestion here. When the dev server is up, use the DEV Server Section for feedback.

Not avoiding these example discussions will mean your post is likely to be hidden by a moderator. Any continuation after that might mean you get a warning.

You must remember that this is the most popular and active thread on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next update’s information in one place so it can be discussed amongst the community. Other discussions like outlined in the examples above can be discussed in proper forum sections. Often official Gaijin members will respond on this thread so do be sure to remain respectful! Otherwise they may just stop. Please also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on what may be coming. If you follow the forum rules, you’ll be okay!

Please use the La Royale Thread to discuss Major Update “La Royale”. Complaining here won’t solve anything and is considered off-topic.

This makes no sense, since all the works of users and their messages have disappeared. I think, as in this new forum, there is no point, since only a few will sit here

Guys, if you want to discuss the new forum please do so here. Everything on this forum is new and it may take a few days or weeks to get things ironed out. Please be patient.

The topic you want is under the Important Messages section on the main page. Easy to find.

Let’s not bring rumor roundup off topic already on day one please. Nothing has changed moderation wise and you are still expected to stay on topic.

Will the British Ground TT get more love in next update?
Challenger 2E model corrected?
Saladin, atleast? FV Scorpion? Abott?
And more interestingly, more Indian vehicles? If not Bheeshma, then Arjun prototype or Mk.1?

OP has been updated and the lists have been updated to the best of my knowledge. I may edit the lists to include only the most important things / datamines etc, because we now have a character limit and while the main post is currently within that limit, I don’t know the future. :)

If you have ideas for that, please PM me! Thanks.

Again guys, please read my previous post:

This is not the place for forum discussion. It is off topic. Moderation has not changed. I linked the proper place to discuss the forum. Please use it.

I really hope that we won’t have to wait too long for radar missiles on the J-8F. Kinda sad that we finally got a usable radar but no missiles for it. Especially since the Asbides only have a very limited use on the B
