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

"Q: War Thunder is constantly expanding with new vehicles from other nations, which are implemented into nations already in the game. But are there any plans for separate standalone nations in the future in addition to the 10 already present in the game?

A: Yes, we have plans for separate new nations. But next year, we’ll focus on filling the gaps in existing trees, including adding subtrees of other nations to them, and adding new types of vehicles."

They are defo talking about more than one but I could be wrong but to me seems like they want to fill gaps via subs too.

When do you think they will add XM2000 for U.S.A. a modern SPH with a LRF.
XM2001_Crusader

Doubt any time soon but I would suggest making a suggestion for it on the suggestion page

I think most of this is wishful thinking.

I would be deeply surprised if Gaijin added more advanced ARH missiles to blufor, since those plane and kit combinations are in many cases so overwhelming. Pretty sure the only reason R-77-1 was added is R-77 is so horrid and Gaijin don’t believe R-77-1 is much better than the R-77.

I really don’t think we’re going to get stronger ir missiles either.

I think we’re probably guaranteed to see some 4th gen, maybe 4.5 gen planes, would be nice to have something that can contest Rafales, Typhoons and Eagles.

If we’re very lucky, we might see SPAA, but my feelings suggest we are going to see another de-facto air update. Probably that’s all we’ll get for majors until we reach late 5th gens.

I have no optimism in my thinking here, just seems that’s the way of things now.

The wildcard is that maybe we get infantry this year. I really don’t think that was just April fools.

Would be extremely trolly if the R-27EA is added and it is exclusive to MiG-29K for UK. Not a fan of Indian imported vehicles but it could possibly happen. Looking at the netz mod, it may even be an event aircraft.

Wasn’t R-27EA never made? I think its just a paper missile

yeah pretty sure

SRAAM was test fired 8 times, which is why it got added, though in a massively nerfed state

Like a few other missiles in game.

So at least AIM-9R should be fine then, idk about R-27EA

same time I wonder when they will add AS90 still havent gotten a domestic british SPH

I made the topic but it needs to be reviewed and accepted I wonder how long that will take.

On the topic of British tanks they need to model the
BV or boiling vessel. To make tea. But the module would serve no real purpose in game besides being a neat thing.

Shouldn’t be too long so long as it sees enough traffic.

That would be interesting to have, would add a tank destroyer in that 7.3-8.3 area which is needed

I was thinking 7.7 to 9.0

Not 7.3 too low of a B.R. for something with a stabilizer, composite and LRF.
