Thailand seems to be interested in buying the Gripen E and Indonesia has bought the Rafale.

Challenger 3 was shown off with the heavy EPSOM packadge very recently. Can the devs model a new tank in a month?
Inb4 10mm KE protection.
Frankly there’s a metric ton of South African stuff I’d like to see added throughout the Brit TT, to help flesh things out
Vehicles can take much longer than this from start to finish. Depending on what it is and how much is known about it.
The total time for a vehicle from the start of the research process to a finished model can be anything from a couple of months to 12+ depending on information / resource availability.
Gaijin have done it before and it’s an easy balancing tool.
Alternatively they add the F-15EX next update which will have a minimum of 12 120s.
Giving it double the ARHMs a Typhoon can carry.
Unless we get the option of 8-10 Meteors on new FGR.5 then I’m gonna be pissed but Gaijin always wants US top tier to be the best most broken then every singe year
They’re not going to change how they make aircraft in War Thunder because of a thing that’s been part of the game since 2012.
Gaijin has never swayed from their rules on modeling flight models, and I doubt they’d start now.
Unless we get Turkey sticking 14 meteors on Typhoon or WW3 to prove it…
I wouldn’t hold your breath bud :(
I suppose it depends on how popular the mode becomes.
And if it is E sports ready!
We can also “get” Carver, as in the Atlas Carver with what is essentially a slightly downgraded Meteor and U-Darter
Like the rest of the game
The mode has been part of the game from 2012 to present: Props. XD
Props have only ever been updated on flight models if/when new information about the aircraft comes up. Otherwise they stay stagnant.
No flight model in War Thunder has changed without data, even if Gaijin won’t share the document name with us and we have to find it ourselves.
Thai Gripen E is said to be delivered by 2029, so there probably won’t be any completed Thai Gripen E until 2028 at the earliest.
Indonesian Rafale B F.4 just had its first flight in September, so it might be a bit recent for Gaijin considering they likely don’t have a two seat Rafale model yet.
So my bets are honestly on no new top tier aircraft for Japan next update, but maybe we’ll see a Hawk 208/209
Oh yeah thats right. I dont remember but correct me if im wrong but wassent it just said that all nations would receive an AESA fighter and not definitively a top tier AESA fighter. Japan has the F-2 with and AESA. I agree its very far from ideal but depending on the words used when they were talking about the comming AESA planes i dont necessarily belive they would be prioritized in this matter…
guess if they really wanted to give the UK an AESA the indian Rafale is an option lmao
The Australian Superhornet too
shame gaijin thinks those add on give 10 whole mm KE of protection (ignore the literal company stating it can stop 30mm APFSDS which would mean at least 110mm of protection)
super hornet isnt in the game yet so dunno
It’s gonna be at some point anyway, updates bring new stuff you know not just copypaste
The real solution is to give the UK the first 5th gen (F-35). American mains will get a kick out of that.
