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

From a gameplay perspective it seems like it would be a hassle to keybind and maintain locks on both at the same time. I don’t even think people use ground radar that much anyway, so I don’t see why Gaijin would want to model this, for example.

Me getting annoyed every time Thailand doesn’t arrive.
Indonesia too a little.

Japan sub is probably two updates out imo. Just a token f5 or two for now.

Well according to the previous leaks the Typhoon was delayed until 2025 but now it’s in the December update.

But yea I still need to get my emotions in check tho

I’m quite pleased on the other hand.
Every update Japan doesn’t get a sub is another update I’m not rushing to research stuff before getting roadblocked.

Come down today and try some corn!
Or we will sacrifice your newborn!

I have the AJ and F-15J, not the JM though.
If F-2 comes immediately going for it.

Tell me about it. This wait is killer. I’m happy the UK/IT/FR/GE folks are getting their Gen 4.5s. Just hoping we JP folks can be among them too.

Especially Germany, they’ve been using MiG-29s and F-4s to fight F-15s.

The F-2 will most likely be in that line, just hope gaijin doesn’t screw us over by making rank 9 lol
Mainly due to I can still research it via the F-5 lmao

Don’t wanna spoil it for you, but it’s not a great plane
It’s errr…Not great since you face ARH the second you get uptiered by as little as 0.3

If Gaijin reworks Flanker flight model then it might be worthwhile.
Do the same for the Fulcrum as well.

Even if not many people use it, having more options is always better. Ground radar is highlighted as a key feature for the F-15E, so the number of users shouldn’t matter. Adding a combined search mode alongside air-only and ground-only scanning modes would simplify things and avoid unnecessary complexity. But honestly, that’s a minor issue—what’s most important is clearly distinguishing it from mechanically scanned radars.

Well I was mainly grinding it so if it got removed I can still keep it.

Yeah, though I’d rather have a fleshed out subtree representing all the Founding ASEAN countries with unique vehicles over a rushed out initial subtree of only Thailand with more C&P and other countries at the risk of being the “India” of Japan (premium-locked nations), even if such a subtree takes them a few more updates to release.

Besides, it’s F-2 time very soon (hopefully at least), so I feel like they would do good using that hype now and the subtree hype later. Though I wouldn’t mind a nice Thai F-5T added now, separate from the full subtree, as a nice bit of foreshadowing.

There are hardly any users of anti-ship missiles in War Thunder, yet people still hope for the implementation of ASM-1, ASM-2, and ASM-3. What matters is the ability to use them, not the number of users.
