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

You know, at this point they should rename the rumor roundup to British main suffering because it seems like for the last 5 or so updates thats what this thread always devolves into…

I get its the same but without information of when the rocket motor detached its going to have a different result on the receiving end.

If it releases at the peak altitude it’s going to have a different result compared to if it releases somewhere close to the target making it much faster then it would be if it was airdropped

SDB does just fine at high speed anyways

if you look at one of the video it shows it does detatch right around what appears to be its maximum height before descending. it also has a 360 degree engagement ability which i doubt could happen if the rocket stayed attached on descent

Looking at these dubious images of how it works, God knows where they’ve come from. I’d say ~1m CEP should be right for both variants

I mentioned this later on. Hopefully we’d see a F-16C PoBIT.

I just said F-15EX because the F-15E was mentioned, and that definitely isn’t equivalent to the J-10C or Gripen-E.

It’s likely we’ll see some new Russian MBTs, as their current winrate (and overall experience) is terrible. Maybe the Object 195 (Passed to Devs!), or finally, the T-14 Armata. I’ve seen rumors about Russian SAM systems, truth be told, those are needed (CAS is unbearable when playing without IRIS-T on your team). There was some discussion about the S-350 Vityaz - that would be a perfect addition for Russia.

yeah, hopefully it goes through since the GBU-39 of all GPS bombs needs a 1m CEP with its warhead

Russia already have pretty much everything they need at top tier. BVM, T-90M and T72 arena.
decent IFV’s although premium or Squadron, still one of the best SPAA, 2 fantastic helicopters. Still the best CAS options.
The KH-38 crutch has been broken since some nations can now fight back

So I wonder what new AGM they’ll get

Kh-59 with man in the loop?

Either that or LOAL, MMW KH-38EA

KH-47M2 obviously

I would argue the one thing Russia is lacking at top tier is competent MBTs. The only good MBT they have is the T-80BVM.

The T-90M has two gimmicks: good armor and spall liners. The issue is every other part of the tank is either mediocre or bad. The reverse speed, fixed 7.1s reload, and gun angles are horrible, and the round and mobility are okay at best.

The T-72B3A is just like the T-90M but it loses out on the great armor and spall liners in exchange for an APS. Mediocre round and mobility, but terrible reverse gear, 7.1s reload, and gun angles.

Russia would really benefit from getting a new MBT like the T-14 Armada. It would actually bring Russia up to par with other nations’ MBTs.

Currently the best Russian MBTs in my opinion are the T-80BVM, T-80Us, and T-90M.

I do really hope they are able to continue on the small graphical and model updates. Ive mentioned it before but seeing the top mounted MGs actually cycle and feed rounds would be a great detail to see added. Or maybe had certain decorations on tanks like flags and bushes be impacted by wind and movement rather than be static objects.

Along with more realistic crew voice lines for modern MBTs. I think the current voice lines work fine for WW2 and Cold War era vehicles. But feel… less authentic for the Gulf War era and beyond.

I don’t see them adding the T-14 for another while

Might get the T-90M arena or the Gazebo BVM

Super Hornet is also an option we could see thats not to far out there.

Object-195 is likely to appear faster, as it has more opportunities for nerf and balance creation.

You think gaijin would care about that ?, war thunder is already dying on it’s knees due to the amount of bugs that this update alone have caused.

Not off topic it’s true and there will be more bugs in the next update

They are in the files so its failry likely… just a matter of when really.

It’ll still be a downgrade compared to the 38, considering how slow and lumbering the KH-59 is
