So now that Australia Day is essentially over and as is customary for War Thunder to do something after it has ended in our own time zone, are we going to get a little thing for Australia Day in game?

[Macron-Spokesman]

Harsh truke? Might run the risk of alienating certain members of the community but oh well…

[Rowiek]

I just don’t understand why Gaijin allows this to happen. It’s so encredibly toxic

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
With the new BR changes introducing rank 9, France will be the only nation unable to grind their top tier aircrafts with a premium vehicle.
Are there any plans to introduce a rank 8 premium for France ?

[ILuvAnneHathaway]

Monday so empty :( , I hope the br changes go live soon.

Also Jan 26th rip Kobe already 6 years :'(

@vizender

Are there any plans to introduce a rank 8 premium for France ?

Hey. Yes there are plans this year.

[vizender]

Okay thanks. Hopefully this comes sooner than later :)

[AblativeKitten]

A rank 8 Belgian Scorpion 76? You spoil me Smin (/jk)

[someweirdname]

Semi Historical Scorpion with 76mm Gun type Plutonium bomb round (50m Kill radius)

[vizender]

Scorpion 76mm as a rank 8 aircraft premium would slap lmao

[efetenekeci]

Mirage 2000C-S3 is my bet. I think we used all sub-tree crap, so either that or a country specific Mirage 2000C.

[ILuvAnneHathaway]

Ukranian M2K as French rank VIII premium

[Kingtiez-live]

Not a real image
They did small evaluation flights in Russia

[Bonrath]

Is it going to be another very unique vehicle that’s going to be mega undertiered like the rest of the rank 8 premiums?

[someweirdname]

in the french tree???

nooo it’ll be some Rank 6 worthy Plane that belongs to the tech tree pushed to Rank 8 with semi well working weapons

Japan can get the Su-27 via Indonesia

@Smin1080p_WT maybe you can answer that,
Since we know that New Leopard 2s for Top Tier are unlikely as they still perform good, can you maybe say if more Leopard 1 versions are planned for Germany?

Huh, didn’t know there was another Flanker variant that also got the Su-30MKI designation.
