I managed to determine which jet is going to Japan:

(it is known that there is no Mitsubishi plane that starts with F and ends with 2 and is the successor of the F-1)

ive just asked Chat GPT, whats coming in the next patch and here is what it had to say about the discussion.

""Here are some of the leaked vehicles rumored to be coming in the next major War Thunder update, based on the latest information:

Aircraft

  • F/A-18 Super Hornet (USA) – A highly capable multirole fighter with advanced avionics, improved maneuverability, and a diverse weapons loadout.
  • SU-30SM (Russia) – A modernized version of the Su-30 featuring thrust-vectoring engines and enhanced radar systems, making it a formidable air superiority fighter.
  • YAH-56A (USA) – A prototype attack helicopter designed for high-speed engagements, offering a unique playstyle compared to traditional attack helicopters.

Ground Vehicles

  • CLOVIS (France) – A new armored fighting vehicle rumored to feature advanced composite armor and a powerful main gun.
  • 2S19M2 (Russia) – A self-propelled artillery system with improved fire control and faster reload times, making it a deadly support vehicle.
  • Israeli Sabra Mk 1 (Israel) – An upgraded M60 tank equipped with a 120mm gun and modernized fire control systems, enhancing its combat effectiveness.
  • FV 107 Scimitar (UK) – A light reconnaissance vehicle with a rapid-firing cannon, ideal for scouting and flanking maneuvers.

Naval Units

  • Yubetsu D228 (Japan) – A modern destroyer escort featuring advanced radar and missile systems, providing strong anti-air and anti-ship capabilities.

Air Defense Systems

  • RCM 748 (Rapier) (UK) – A new air defense system designed to counter high-speed aerial threats with precision-guided missiles.

These leaks are based on datamining and community speculation, so take them with a grain of salt until official announcements are made""

None of this is credible, AIs are stats machine that blender everything they’re fed into something somewhat coherent but not reliable
It just made a mix of rumors seemingly mixed with stuff from previous updates

No
Rapier needs to be changed from:
“A new air defense system designed to counter high-speed aerial threats with precision-guided missiles”
To
“A new air defense system designed to tickle high-speed aerial threats with not-precision-guided missiles”

Not only that, but it pretty obviously used our list for the vehicle names.

Aren’t Leak lists that, until they are proven otherwise ???

Ones from Yukari33, Olivia, and the WT Snail Mine Discord are for the most part credible.

We already know that submarines are planned for 2025, along with the introduction of more iconic ships and improvements to anti-aircraft systems. Aside from these, is there anything else on the horizon?

I look at the Buk, and i press doubt.

ECM systems are in the short-term plans, and ARMs are also in the plans, though not immediate.

Well the chinese and the Swedish anti air were leaked through pictures, we also expect the F-2A as Japan’s jet

I really enjoyed the SAM Event. Hopefully, they build on this mechanic further and integrate it into a dynamic map—one that shifts as you defeat the enemy, expanding borders while impacting key infrastructure.

Imagine cutting off supply lines, disabling bridges, and targeting oil depots, all of which could be strategically defended by SAMs and early warning radar systems.

On top of that they could redo the Airfield Mechanic that they have in Air EC and also incorporate that into the new Map Design format

Yeah to be honest the F-2A is long overdue, that and Actual Brimstones F&F function needs to come to the game, too much emphisis on Russian Weaponry working as intended and other nations left behind!

seems like a combination of wishlisting + stuff from datamines + stuff from previous leaks and articles.

Feels like the AI, just skims over discussions and articles, without looking into them with much detail
Guess we dont have to worry about AI turning into Skynet anytime soon and taking over the world, like pinky and the brain haha
