they will be here soon, and they wil be so gorgeos, beutifuly.
This was from the Russian stream for Ninth Wave (the update we just got).
question: “u said earlier that 5th gens will come in 2Q2026, when other 4,5 gens will come”
answer: “addition of 5th gens doesn’t mean that we will stop adding aircraft of previous gen, as we are still adding even gen 0, u should understand that adding 5th gens takes a meaning, when there are no plens or tt is filled enough or when new plens don’t add new expirience, but are just a collectors additions”
It being Q2 2026 means 5th gen could be the next update. (As the June update is the only one that falls under Q2 of the year)

I think there is a 90% chance that the first fifth-generation aircraft will appear on the game’s birthday, that is, in the November update, and in December, all the others. It’s like with composite air defense systems, they were divided into 2 updates. And in the two summer updates, we need to think about what will happen… In the next update, SEAD missiles will be added, and there will probably be some aircraft with them, and in the second summer update, according to my assumptions, su-35 and f-15ex will be added.

I hope we get the regenerative steering we were teased about 5 months ago…
After such a long time of more and more and more and more air focus, Ground really needs a bone thrown. After all it’s been 9 years since regenerative steering was “passed to the developers” and only 5 months ago we got some news at last!
Since they said that they could have implemented it long ago, but they didn’t because “they actually wanted tanks to turn sharper” and that “its implementation would be subjected to testing and community voting”, I really fear they may not even go with it after all.

Tank battles basically need to be recycled, literally since the release of the game we have also been playing point capture. Either I need to add some points of interest, or I don’t even know what

Yeah… now air is getting some gamemode love, I hope they eventually do the same for ground, whenever (if) they ever remember that there’s more to War Thunder than jets.
The past coulpe of years have been SO jet-focused I am just bored of ground top tier at this point. So stalled. Nothing new to look forward to while air gets like 10 jets per update and now a new mode too.

Who could have known when they added top tier ground like 2 years before they made air equal lol

Except they didn’t. They made such a big deal about Rank VIII Ground, yet they only added like 2 top tier worthy additions in these 2 years, then all the rest of the “Rank VIII” vehicles were just former previous rank vehicles which had been ingame for years moved up or sidegrades of them.
Ever since, they’ve gone their way to release an even higher new rank for air.
And, at this rate, it appears we will literally be getting 5th generation fighters and a new air gamemode before we get more 2A7/122 counterparts or the 9 year long overdue regenerative steering.
Hopefully… I need that Top Tier ground!

Well the SEPv3 won’t be added soon for either nation since it’s 2 years late at this point and I don’t see Gaijin adding thr K2 or K2PL anytime soon since it’s a new top tier MBT.
So that leaves the M1A1 FEP (which will just be an M1A1 AIM with M829A2 in game), 2PL and Leo 2A5 for Poland top tier.

The Polish Tech tree will be a Malaysian PT-91M for Japan.

after the summer update
I honestly feel like they are holding off on Sepv3 because when they botch the armor they probably just don’t want to deal with the community blow back from it. But the least they can do is add trophy to sepv2 or something considering the meta is just F&F missiles flying around at top tier.

There should be a 30% one in May I think

Tbf, this could also mean that none will come this year and we’ll see the first ones next year

And it will be peak 🤞
While it is a possibility, I think if they wouldn’t come this year at all they wouldn’t have specified the first half of 2026 specifically.
Which is why I suspect at least something in december.
