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

the F-16 wasnt designed to shoot AMRAAM’s but I think most would agree that the AMRAAM is the F-16’s most important A2A weapon

the AIM-4 lacked the firepower of the AIR-2, even if it was very integrated with the F-106 and the F-106 is by far its best platform, it just doesnt hold up to the AIR-2. AIM-4 would be good for shooting down any survivors but i dont think it would be sufficient by itself

No. We’re getting too offtopic; I’m not going any further.
Gaijin isn’t going to add the Genie, Gaijin isn’t going to add the W23, Gaijin isn’t going to add RIM-8B and they aren’t going to add the AIM-26A. You have got to figure out how to deal with that, man.

a really small warhead like the AIM-26A’s might work, but it is a guided weapon which is a pretty big problem

Though in my fantasy US tree it stays in the bomber line at rank VI

Too bad they won’t go past 5 lines, US and USSR could easily have an interceptor line that goes into stuff like F-111 and F-15E at top tier so the bomber line can be freed up for B-1, B-52, and B-2

I know that’s where Gaijin put them, but I think the fighter-bombers should’ve been in the attacker line instead.

Do you guys think that we will be finally getting more eastern European vehicles, such as the T-84 Oplot in the form of the Thai Ground subtree next update? (if it ever comes of course).

They just added the T-72 with Arena, T-84 would be pretty cool too

Yes but we have been only getting russian variants of soviet vehicles, would like to see more of the eastern european ones because that means that they could finally get proper reverse gears

Fair enough

The SAV 48 is just a PE-8 but on the ground

The SAV 48 & A-21 are a deadly combo if you know how to handle them

Please tell me that a certain balkan socialist republic won’t be added as a damn sub tree.
( I prayge)

Knowing gajin it will be a USSR subtree with 85% copy paste with like 1 unique low tier and 1 unique top tier, possibly a naval addition if your fortunate (poor Benelux).

(Here’s hoping it’s an independent tree)

The F-14s are one of if not the most controversial planes in Warthunder

Croatia added to Italy because it’s was a minor axis nation : P

Not for F-14D. It would be a glorified F-15 MSIP at best

Will be the day I fully end my War Thunder journey. Yugoslavia when?

yeah, to me that’d be a life-changing experience too, probably for the better.

I mean Benelux is classed as one nation so Ex-Yugoslavian states would still be Yugoslavia iirc

You say that like the F-15C MSIP II is a bad jet lol.

Better radar (+IRST), more missiles, similar flight performance, etc…
