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

T-90S: [Development] Squadron vehicles: T-90 Bhishma - News - War Thunder

First and foremost, we’d like to let you know the reasons as to why we’re going to be adding this vehicle to the British tree. Britain’s top-tier MBTs are generally niche and are typically geared towards methodical combat engagements. Because of this, additional export MBTs and other vehicles that have ties to some Commonwealth nations will allow for more options and new approaches to Britain’s gameplay. We’d like to note that we are continuing to work on filling the British ground forces tree, which will include various armored, infantry fighting vehicles, and light tanks. These are planned for the future.

And Bison: [Development] Pre-order: MiG-21 Bison - News - War Thunder

Much like South African vehicles, Indian vehicles will be introduced into the British tree.

Personally I need Arjun with its special ammo

The only one with a similar mention to that to my knowledge was the one where they announced Britain may get MBTs from other nations, not that they are going to get the Commonwealth as a subtree

Air wise I’d quite like the Atlas Cheater, looks delightfully obsolete upgraded into relevance again.
Ground wise an FV101 to round out my collection (although the Scorp 90 and some of the export modernisations, FV101 FVT900 or the Jordanian Scorp modernisations, would be nice), and a Abbott would be great.

I am fine with OSA to be clear its more that something like Rapier is long overdue and should have been added awhile ago imo.

I never said theyd get the commonwealth as a subtree, thats the only reason SA and India ARE subtrees to Britain besides ties

See, if Gaijin was actually adding INDIGENOUS designs from India instead of mostly Soviet vehicles, this wouldn’t be a problem

Also i dont get why people quote what gaijin said in the distant past like gospel when time and time again theyve shown that theyre just making things up as they go and will change their minds whenever they need to.

Im quite suprised the Cheeta hasnt been added yet, although there was some French pushback originally I do remember

I wonder if this update will finally bring at least ONE Rank VIII MBT… ever since December 2023, we’ve only got Leopard 2A7HU…

Imagine making such a big deal of Rank VIII to only implement a few ones that update, and then only one more over the span of an entire year…

yes, that’s a problem

1st rule of the Holy Snail, there are no rules.

Wouldn’t the tracked Rapier fill the same role as the Indian Osa?

Because until they do change their minds it is as it stands what they say is how it is

@Smin1080p_WT I feel a bit bad mentioning this, but there’s a part of me wondering if there are still any chances whatsoever to see filler aircraft like the A-4M or F-106 in any future update (including this coming one). I’ve seen a lot of people say “that aircraft would be useless”, or “the time for that aircraft has passed”, and kinda wanted to know your thoughts on the matter.

Also, I hope you’ve been doing well, and things are going smoothly for ya here.

The Osa was easier to add, so we won’t be getting the Rapier for the coming years

Nope. The Indian Osa was just added as an alternative to the Stormer HVM. Also at 10.3.

Nah Rapier has 8km range, the OSA has 10.5Km. While Rapier would be nice, the OSA does alot for countering Obama drones and other things at stand off ranges.
