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

[_Renzo]

I still think the F-18 makes more sense for the december update.

But I guess we’ll truely find out in 3-4 weeks when the update releases.

You make it sound like some criminal stuff.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT

Now the French have their true 3 tone camo, is there any plan in the future update to update both the green and brown from the basic camo and the 2 tones one with the French colors?

Thanks,

When its introduced(in 10 years) it better be an usable skin ingame

Aermacchi M-346 my beloved

[Apollo_1641]

I think a trainer/advanced trainer/COIN aircraft centered update is closer than we think

A lot of them have been passed to developers this year

Examples passed since June:

Yakovlev/Aermacchi Yak/AEM 130D (RA-43130)

poll poll [image] Description: The Yakovlev Aermacchi Yak/Aem 130 was an Italian-Russian trainer aircraft made in cooperation between the Italian company Aermacchi and two Russian companies, Yakovlev and Sokol. The project started back in 1991, when the Russian Air Force started a competition for a new generation of trainers. The two main companies that were taking part in the competition were Mikoyan and Yakovlev. The Italian company Aermacchi, which, like Yakovlev, was projecting a replaceme…

The Cessna A-37B "Super Tweet" Dragonfly: Cessna made an A-10 and it worked

The A-37B “Super Tweet” Dragonfly: Cessna made an A-10 and it worked. [image] (Polls are at the bottom)

Overview

WarThunderers, today I suggest a vehicle I have wanted to see for a while now, the forgotten hero of the Vietnam war, made by the uncommon military manufacturer Cessna, the A-37B Dragonfly, or the Super Tweet.

Basic Information

Designation: A-37B (Military), YAT-37D (Manufacturer) Name: “Dragonfly” (Official), “Super Tweet” (Nickname…

Fiat G82

poll [image] Description: The Fiat G82 was an Italian post-war jet fighter/trainer. It was the development of the Fiat G80. After the experience with the G80 Fiat, we tried to improve some performance since the test proved that the aircraft needed some improvements. The biggest change was regardless of the propulsion, where the de Havilland Goblin was replaced with the more powerful Rolls Roice Nene. This was actually the biggest and most important change compared to the previous model. Thanks…

Fouga CM.170 Magister, A nimble trainer with fangs

poll [Israeli_Air_Force_-_Coat_of_arms.svg] [fouga double rockets] Introduction The Fouga Magister was an infamous and very successful jet trainer designed in France in the wake of the second world war. It was exported to various nations across the globe with the primary foreign operators being Germany, Finland and Israel. This suggestion is in regards to the latter who used it extensively in both trainer and combat roles. Disclaimers This suggestion was originally posted and passed on the o…

CM 170 - Fouga Magister, trainer and CAS aircraft

poll poll CM 170 Fouga Magister A popular trainer and a CAS aircraft [image] About this aircraft and its interest in War Thunder The addition of the Strikemaster in the new update paves the way I think for a whole lot of trainer aircrafts with fighting capabilities. The Fouga Magister is one of them, and one that saw extensive use during the Israeli war as a CAS aircraft. With performances comparable to that of the Strikemaster, it would be a very welcome…

[joshje100]

God I hope so. The trainer aircraft we have in game already are really fun to play in my opinion. Trainers, utility aircraft and modern bombers are my top 3 most wanted additions in the future. (Just in general there are specific aircraft of all types that I would kill for and can’t wait to see)

But honestly I think that if we were going to get a trainer focused update with multiple trainer aircraft it would have been with the Alpha Jets. Gaijin really missed out on adding trainers in an update focused on a trainer aircraft

Hey

French 3 tone camo was corrected due to a report with evidence: Community Bug Reporting System

If there are any inaccuracies with other camos, please make a similar report and we can pass them onto the devs to investigate.

[DargorDraconis]

I would love to see that plane in game
It have a small tail but what matter is how you use it

Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

@Smin1080p_WT Is there any reason in particular that the only way that the Devs are dealing with Sim zombers is by reducing the rewards for everyone? Every single Sim economy nerf has been in result of the zombers but everyone but them are affected. Yes it takes them longer but they don’t care, what’s another hour or two for them since all they do is run a script and leave the game running? The Sim rewards changes from both this and the Useful Actions implemented years ago only affect actual …

@Smin1080p_WT Is there anything you can say as to why the Devs keep nerfing Sim rewards?

Every nerf seems to be as a result of the zomber problem in the mode and yet none of the nerfs has made a difference in the problem, they have only seem to be hurting the actual players.

Instead of directly addressing the problem with zombers the Devs seem to just be trying to kill Sim off with all of the reward nerfs.

The centerline droptank for the J-10A is here, and it looks like the modern ground vehicle tutorials Smin mentioned in the covert disclosures post will be ingame sometime in the next few days, since the texts for them have been added to the files.

Yes!
Gaijilla, gib!
With the mitsubishi T-4!

[hienapunk]

I think the T-1 would be better at 8.3 cuz it could carry aim9b and had an internal caliber .50 mg.

I dont know if the t-4 could missile.

[Miraz05]

Is Kawasaki T-4 even armed? Couldn’t find a single picture of it with any armaments

[WreckingAres283]

The Kawasaki T-4 itself has not been armed. Two XT-4 however were spotted with a gun pod, but thats about it.

[Cpt_Naoshi_Kanno]

XT-4 with FN Browning gunpod (same as the ones on the strikemaster)

[Major_Majestic36]

That would be so awesome. I really want those aircraft.

[Major_Majestic36]

Do you guys think we might see some new strategic bombers or jet bombers in the next update?

[joshje100]

Hopefully we do but without a bomber rework or a gamemode rework they will be severely DOA

[コタリ]

I’ve been told I can finally post this, but not reveal the vehicles. There was a problem with the HTML when it was first posted and then purged. It’s been under wraps since because it was too early for any of the vehicles to be revealed.

Edit: I should add that this tree is more likely that this will be the winter update and not the Oct update.
