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

I agree, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it went to 11.7 next update. I currently have a KD of 2 in over 20 matches, and it isn’t close to being spaded.

Next update we need the SPYDER (already passed to dev) and the derby 4, or im gonna loose my mind.
And probbly add the F18 hornet and F16I Stufa, in order to give new aircrafts to these nations excluded from eurofighters and rafales

Gaijin probably removed the ability to test drive event vehicles through wt wiki. I tried editing some previous test drive links but it didnt work. We can probably test drive them using the CDK

:/ I’d like to at least preview the dang things man, big L moment for the snail

If you want you can use the test drive file from this video

Was the reason because the plane wasn’t ready?

@Smin1080p_WT With the addition of the squadron Su-33 with it’s 580,000 squadron RP requirement will we see an increase in squadron RP gain?

20k every 3 days means if you don’t want to pay 8k GE for it you will have to wait around 3 entire months to unlock it which is absurd. If we are going to be seeing more and more squadron vehicles with ever increases squadron RP costs then we should also get an increase in the max amount of squadron RP we can gain every 3 days. Something like 50k RP every 3 days would mean it would take you just over 1 month to get it which is a much fairer amount than just 20k

To play devils advocate, think about it from a new player PoV.

How long would it take a brand new F2P account to reach Su-27 or M1A2? Probably closer to 3 months than 1.

Kinda makes sense to not have squadron vehicles (In this example Su-33 / M1 AIM) be obtainable quicker than what you can obtain a peer in the TT for, otherwise such players lose out on the experience / lineups etc they need to make good use of that squadron vehicle. If it’s too quick and easy, the problem of one death leaving AIM’s / 2PL / 80UK etc gets significantly worse.

Any chance for more modern Bombers to be included in the future of war thunder, now that we have the F-117 Nighhawk, is there a possibility for the following :-

There were leaks about some sort of strategic bomber event, so yeah, every chance.

If you go from brand new player to top tier yeah it makes sense but for older players 3 months for 1 vehicle is just absurd. Maybe instead of just a blanket increase it could be tied to player level or the amount of squadron vehicles you have?

Hopefully we see strategic bombers enter the game in the future, granted they will be hell to balance and most likely useless in everything bar Sim but they will be cool to see nonetheless. I just hope that if we do see them added to the game they don’t come with cockpit placeholders.

Maybe they could tie it to that daily bonuses system. So people who are already at top tier in the tree, get some sort of bonus applied to their squadron RP for vehicles of that tree.

Let’s experienced players get them in a more reasonable time frame, whilst keeping the pace as is for those who wont have lineups for them.

They could be some ai units that will affect the outcome of a game but providing a large amount of rewards when destroyed. I mean, you gotta get these things into the game so stuff like MiG-25 or avro arrow gets a practical role.

I would rather have them as player controlled assets, but i also like the idea of an AI target as well.

you can guarantee that we will have some copy-paste next patch im guessing around 40% copy paste ^^

  • 10% (just a little)
  • 20% (a bit more)
  • 30% (1/3 of the patch)
  • 40% or more

there is always more C&P than think, usually only about 10 fully new model in each update, rest is C&P or small changes
