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

Bah, call it “Bug Infestation” :p
(I’ve been invested in D&D and Baldur’s Gate 3 for a while now so it came to mind)

To get the conversation going, with April Fools being tomorrow (Currently March 31st here in Canada as of writing), anyone have any ideas what the event could be or what Gaijin may be trying to implement?
Im curious what people have to say

Datamines suggest a strategic bombing themed event, and with the recent passed to devs, i think it’s going to be something with big bombers, and lots of spacebar, also i hope nukes, let me carpet nuke somewhere

Yeah the last update seems to have broken everything.

I second that

Either Strategic bombing or multi-vehicle controls like advanced AA systems are most likely.

Personally though I would love to see testing WW1 era, specifically WW1 aircraft. With WW1 aircraft in Aces of Thunder I think it would be great to test how they would be like to play in War Thunder.

Strategic bombing would not be “April Fools”-like at all, I don’t think those leaks (or the ones for SEAD) are related to April Fools at all

100 B-52 vs 100 B-52 TDM lol

Man yesterday I was checking out the suggestion hoping that it would pass lol amazing

I can think of a couple of interesting ways to disguise testing multi-vehicle AAs, but how the heck would they disguise a Strategic Bombing mode?

It’s either strategic bombing or it isn’t, no matter if it’s from a V-Bomber, some steampunk airship or some sci-fi spacecraft. They could be testing things related to such a mode (AI behaviour, patrol and escort mechanics), but it would feel rather uninspired if the April Fools event ends up as just strategic bombing missions with fictional vehicles.

There’s some rumors that they’ll test strat bombers in the 1st april event, i hope that’s the case and they end up adding such planes like they did with the helos and modern mbts.

B-52 is one of my favorite planes, i’d play with it all day regardless of being meta…

B-1B and Vulcan would be great to see alongside the B-52. Maybe then in the future we could get something like the B-2 or even the B-21 in the far future.

But I do hope that if added we don’t get the MS Paint cockpits. I get that it would take the devs a lot of effort to make them but proper cockpits should be a requirement for them. Failing that just some good cockpit placeholders would be ok.

Also a good candidate, I’m all for its addition ;)

I mean it’s not really a B-52 without the cockpit

Yup heard that aswell! It’s pretty exciting.
A B-52 in War Thunder would be a dream… alongside other strategic bombers for the other nations of course.

Don’t even get me started on that beauty

That one is probably the most important jet bomber ever (due to its multi engine layout)

Good looking too
