Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1) (Part 1)

So worse armament but better performance? Slightly higher then, 3.0-3.3 maybe depending on how much of a performance difference there is?

Real nice servers tonight, only kicked 5 times, a new all time low of kicks :D

Jesus christ… connection lsot for everyone in my lobby every other minute

After the Nuclear Thunder event, AI’s can now shoot down munitions in all modes. Why wasn’t this mentioned in any changelogs? Will it be tuned down in the future? In Air SIM airfields are now near untouchable, SAMs are able to intercept even incoming AAMs. This surely is a bug caused by the improper implementation of the mechanism for the purpose of the event.

Air Simulator Battles Air Defences now able to intecept munition

CIWS Tanks in War Thunder?

Nothing for ANZAC Day today? The Aussies didn’t even get an Australia day sale this year.

well id say more or less that the best possible one would be the block 70s, not the F-16E due to them being based off a block 60 standard, if the US were to get the best possible than it would be more like the theorized block 80 version, which would be a block 70 but with American infostructure and different cockpit mounts, and some kind of Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System, so it would end up being the same kind of deal as the F-16AJ, of which also doesn’t exist outside of pamphlet

however its not to say that its not possible for the US to get a block 70 as there has been a few test squadrons that have flown them as well as images of block 70s with US tail markings

or through a possible Turkish subtree (I say turkey due to the M60AMBT being Turkish and in the US tech tree as event vehicle) but as of now is just later and later portions of the PoBIT program

Ik it would be nice to see but nothing rn now in game can counter the sm2…every meta in the game heavily helps it

Am not saying it shouldn’t be added am saying it’s capability is already in game

It’s the best by WT standards.

It already has AESA and is compatible with every weapon the F-16C could normally carry. The deciding factor as to what makes it the “best” is purely the engine.

Also it has IRST, which could be useful, also it should have spherical RWR coverage.

typically in dogfights you do want better dry thrust so that would be the block 52s, however due to the fact noone respects a 1v1 in this game and just missile jousts then the block 50s would be better same can be said with the 60 and 70s series of the aircraft, so its really down to what you are looking to get into

Then don’t get your hopes up, it’ll just be downgraded to a regular Block 70 with the defining Block 80 features removed for “realism”

it would just be a PoBIT with the shoulder tanks, and a better radar i think

Polish/Czech/Slovak tree could also get Block 70 F-16 as top plane given Slovakia got theirs and they are flying them and they should be better than Polish Block 52+ before they get F-35s

plans change I guess

still missing a Few Merkavas ans Sabres

In all honesty that tree would prob include the Baltics as well, basically becoming the TT for Nations that were under soviet control and then became NATO members. While the Baltics would not add that much there are still a few vehicles that would be good gap fillers or premiums.

scary thing is? there are atleast 20 more magachs they can add

gotty hurry up then, plenty of work ahead!

I think it’s not difficult to guess that it should have been Ukraine. At that time, Ukraine’s technology began to appear in the files. Unfortunately, the gaijin did not have time to release this nation, and events turned out in such a way that they had to abandon it altogether.
