Interesting that the su34 goes to the deck of kuznetsov in the cover. Ofc we know there is a dedicated naval version the su-32fn, but that didnt went well.

Well… i dont really know about this one.
When we get WWII SPH’s and more advanced bombers, there must come a sphere of surtain vehicles that would NOT be able to play against them.
Like the Convair B-36, that thing should only be able to fight against AIM-9B’s at max, nothing above it, since it would make it unplayable. Thus a new in-between br has to be created that makes sure that thing wont be seeing SARH and more advanced AAM.
This thing is already DOA, the armament it has - especially the earlier variants - have been ingame for a looong time now.
It wont probably even be in the teaser/trailer let alone get a devblog. It’s probably going to be a vehicle that is only going to be announced on dev-stream, without a testflight because its “not done yet”.
Sounds plausible.
It has the most to give. Especially things that, again, would not have stolen from the Eurofighter and Rafale beating out the F-15E. And this argument could also be easily said about Russia and yet no one was dunking on Russia mains. They did not need an Su-33 this update yet still received one; which has proven to be quite good as a top tier air sim battle aircraft.
I also don’t understand this “low priority” claim. Besides the EFT and maybe the F-22A, I can’t think of a single airframe that has been more requested/talked about/and wished for than the F/A-18. Not to mention, its now four updates passed its viability unless its coming with some ridiculous kit like 120Cs and Block I 9Xs. So its not really a “just wait at least three months” but rather it’s 9-12 months late.

My guesses are F-18’s for the next patch.
While Japan gets nothing and has to wait for 1 to 2 updates before it gets an equivalant to the Eurofighters, Rafale and F-18
The F-2 will be good if it comes in the next patch or two but after that is too late, 8 missiles with a combo of AAM-4 and AAM-3 is a good loadout on a very good FM with an excellent radar, remember the AAM-4 is much longer range than the AMRAAM currently and second only to the AIM-54 variants, and while 32g isn’t tons, it’s enough for anything 2km+ pretty much
I dont think so. My gut is betting on a Summer update for the F-18s. I could see an F-14D coming before hand because EU mains need another 3 months in the spotlight. Maybe another Mig-29 or the Su-30 comes first.

Some minor nations have more to bring then the US, especially at the lower tiers (in the form of, have more suggestions pending then the US), yet they only get 1 and perhaps 2 vehicles per update.
Its simply not fair and creates a HUGE data gap, in the sence of collecting data for different nations.

The AAM-3 and AAM-4 are capable missles in real life, in this game they are nerfed as hell.
@WreckingAres283 Tell me if i’m wrong on this one.
I’m pretty sure.
The summer is going to be huge. Probably the new ship class announcement.
Not only that, but where the frick is the Dutch PZH2000?
Literally everyone got it, except BeNeLux.
EDIT:
It better not be a premium.
And when they add IRIS-T’s…
@Smin1080p_WT How about the lie about keen vision? How come its relevant for realistic battles when the crew skill clearly states that is only for Arcade battles. Fix it.

It isn’t needed for the US tree, they have potent A2A, A2G and multirole platforms already, as far a necessity goes it is low priority.
No what they needed was a competent top tier aircraft, and they didn’t make death threats about not getting one, US mains have a severe entitlement issue that isn’t seen nearly as much in other trees
I’m not saying it wouldn’t be popular but being popular isn’t the same as being needed, the priorities right now are getting China, Sweden, Russia, and Japan proper 14.0 aircraft, and I suspect the F/A-18 will come before that happens, because the US always get something, but the level of entitlement about it is deserving of criticism and most criticism has been fair
Not really when the Big 3 are the Big 3 for a reason. They simply have more players. I understand Gaijin wants minor nations to be more appealing and I don’t fault their players wanting stuff too. Give it to them. But there was absolutely no legtimate reason for not shipping the F-18 last update or updates prior. Unless it comes with a meta shifting kit, which for some reason I dont think it will, its very much DoA at this point. It will still sell because its a poster child of an airframe. But again, its very late to the game and people are understandably upset.
Edit: replied to the wrong post. Apologies.
Wait for the next Update… just like the Italien PzH… would atleast make sense

Maybe, get this… the aircraft wasn’t ready, and they had issues enough already getting the Eurofighter and Rafale finished (which they still aren’t)
I think people forget that the WT update cycle especially at the end of the year is very fast, 2 huge updates plus 3 major updates a year would be a dream come true for a lot of games, with war thunder it’s the expected norm and it’s not surprising that Gaijin can’t always keep up, especially with the end of year updates
Not every addition needs to be meta to be worth adding, I know I’ll be playing it meta or not because I like the jet, and better yet if it does have 120C-5s then it could be enough to give Finland a 14.0 knocking 1 nation off the list for that

hungarian Pzh, sub that logically should have never come to italy and probably the game, but for the sake of diversity it had to happen

And? I talked about the Italien one which sits ready in the files…
One other popular airframe that was discussed often was the mig-25. However the forum has already came to the consensus that the mig-25 would either be broken or completely unplayable.
