The J-11B will be a good Flanker.
There’s been so many vehicles that would have been perfectly fine to just be a researchable mod on an already existing vehicle.
Looking at the future a lot of the additions for ground, air, (and to an extent) naval they would just be very slight improvements to what is already added so instead of adding a new vehicle to grind out and stock grind they should instead just be an upgrade mod that adds the relevant upgrades to it and increase it’s BR if needed.
In the case for aircraft we won’t be long seeing much more advanced weapons and radar systems than what we already have that can be equipped on already existing aircraft, but there’s a good chance that Gaijin will add the exact same aircraft again but just with said upgrades and a higher BR, all for a 400k+ RP grind instead of adding the weapons/radars to the aircraft and increasing it’s BR and most likely leaving a bug gap in the TT.
As an example currently in-game for the US TT we have the F-16C block 50 which is capable of carrying 9X, 120C, and AESA radar, instead of adding the block 52 as a new aircraft Gaijin could instead condense it to a single modification on the ingame block 50 and have it so if you research and equip that mod the block 50 would get the upgrades of the 52 and would also have it’s BR increased to the appropriate level, this way there is no pointless grind and horrid stock grinding and no big BR gaps are made as the player can simply remove the mod and have access to the block 50 weapons.
Something similar has already been done ingame. The Tornado ASSTA1 has an ASSTA3 modification which adds the ability to use a TGP and LJDAM instead of a new Tornado to grind out just for that weapon. Gaijin could simply expand upon this to include BR changes, this would not only shorten the grind for players but also in the long run help to lower the workload of the devs as they won’t need to add another aircraft.
I honestly think it’ll take something with thrust vectoring to get close and even then…still cooked if the fight in close is prolonged…Eft and Rf are just to good 😬 happy they are added…but good lord are we cooked…I’m black pilled!
My personal favorite.

well they go on holiday after that so it is either then or next year
Yep, there is that too
i do hope for the tornado to get some wing vapors but it might be due to the inablilty to moddle the hit boxes of the wings moving on aircraft

Since Spain won’t likely ever come to War Thunder, I hope we get a Marketplace camo for the German one at least, or something, hahah. Wouldn’t be the first Spanish camo on a German vehicle.
Would 100% purchase.

well they have given the most recent spanish things to italy
I wish wing vapours looked that good in WT, since all we have are 2 vapour lines instead of full coverage like that.
Oh, the eurofighter people are back.
this would be cool but also anoying

…and then taken them away, hahah. Look at VRCC. And, unlike other pack vehicles, it never even came back as a GE vehicle.
More likely for Italian one but yeah, would be good to see them still added
well i assume that if they were to add a qatar/ saudi arabian one it would be for britain
