Would be great but I think Gaijin are going to keep the F-14D for one of the smaller updates of the year, maybe March or the September update for 2026.
My guess is going to be the F/A-18E.

Hopefully F-14D will be foldered with F/A-18C
sigh
I do wish they’d make the F-5C less cold next update, ik 9Ls are particularly flare hungry lately but even then a fully after-burning F-5C shouldn’t be flaring a 9L from 700m with a single flare pop in rear aspect ;-;

is it finally going to be time for the A-6E SWIP?
maybe thats why they arent leaking anything, no one will believe its actually going to come if they show the A-6

We will have to wait for War thunder 2 for that
Which is even more annoying. Gaijin could have just copy pasted Ayit into US TT.

I doubt we’ll see the later subs, especially the Type XXI(U-2540). Mostly cause it’s more or less the Bismarck of subs. Prob going to be saved for later. Can see the earlier sub types you listed being added tho.
Yeah. I was in the T10 a little while ago, fired at an Afterburning F-5E I think it was (certainly an F-5 of some discription) the 9L did a 30 degree turn and went for a nearby teammate instead because apparently they were hotter. I dont think the friendly was a in a jet with AB.

Could be worse, My first 9L got “flared” by the F-5’s dead teammate flipping into the 9L’s FOV about a km a head of the F-5
Ah yeah, had that happen before.
But got to find those primary sources that state that the F-5s afterburner produced heat
Weirdly I’ve been finding that flying F-5’s it’s easy to flare missiles from the rear but all-aspect missiles fired head-on to me completely ignore my flares and track perfectly.
Just today flying the F-5C I had a 9L fired from 2.5km at me and it completely ignored my flares. It doesn’t seem like a case of the missile being able to proxy off me but it actively tracks me and doesn’t even take a glance at the flares. But again only in head-ons.
Only been experiencing this in F-5’s though, I haven’t had this issue in anything else.

A top tier aircraft for Japan and China would be nice.
Since Japan is stuck at 13.7 and China at 14.0 with a mirage - China should really get something domestic.
Wow S300. Definitely needed.
Meanwhile China gets a Pantsir pro max.
Agreed. Although what could Japan get as a sensible option? F-2 with HMS?
Malaysian F-18 right? :P
F-18
Rafale
Gripen E
F-2 with better missiles
Those are the 4 options I can think of for 14.0+
