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

[ron_23]

and Oxy isnt a gaijin spokesperson

he said " I THINK"
its not any offical statment

[Macron-Spokesman]

I thought he’s a community manager as well?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

There

@Smin1080p_WT

@KhorneFlakez1337

Still not buying the “no 5th gen this year” statement

There was no such statement. Oxy was specifically answering on the F-22.

The only statement made on 5th gen as a whole was this one last year:

@magazine2

Finally today, as we always receive a lot of questions on this topic, we wanted to share a few details regarding our plans for 5th gen aircraft. Here’s a message from War Thunder’s Game Director, Viacheslav Bulannikov:

“We’re happy to see the attention the game is getting and the enthusiasm for modern aviation, and today we want to talk a bit more about our plans regarding 4++ and 5th generation aircraft specifically.

The game already has the first iconic examples of 4+ and 4++ generation aircraft, but we plan to add a few more of these aircraft to different research trees before moving on to 5th generation aircraft. At the moment for example, not all nations have top fighters with the most modern electronically scanned array radars, and we would like to close this gap first. There are also several modern air warfare technologies that can enrich gameplay that have not yet been implemented in War Thunder.

This process will take several major updates, and the first 5th generation aircraft will not appear in the game before the second half of next year. We hope this news will not upset fans of these aircraft too much, especially as there are a lot of interesting aircraft ahead.”

hold on these can take 30mm damage and not be pen, 2s38 its just 1 click and vanish.

they are easy to kill with a mbt, but if we take a close look, there a difference

[ron_23]

no he is just a CC that gaijin reeled in to make the DEV streams as well

[Morvran]

Leo 2A4 is no where near as survivable as the T-80UD

T-80UD also has a notably better shell and even an ATGM option on top of that.

[Pheonix_RX01]

Why would we get a trialed Norsk Panther?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Doesn’t mean he knows everything that the devs are doing/planning

Or that his word is the law

[ron_23]

bc thats what the Oplot-M is

a trailed vehicle

[Pheonix_RX01]

We def don’t need it but why the Norsk trial version?

[Macron-Spokesman]

@ron_23

no he is just a CC that gaijin reeled in to make the DEV streams as well

It is an official statement however

Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

You questioned someone on why would they expect to get an official answer on something, after seeing an official answer on something.

[ILuvAnneHathaway]

Anything to not let China get ahead

[Pheonix_RX01]

Im definitely misisng some context thats on me

[_Renzo]

At this point I count everything.

I just haven’t seen a single picture of a US hornet/super hornet (squadron) livery that made me think “holy crap Gaijin we need this as a camo in game”.

[Deathmisser]

@Pheonix_RX01

def don’t need it

= I don’t like it

: )

[racimazzedine]

if you say so

[IJN_Musashi]

Oplot-m is a trialed pakistani oplot that they ended up not liking and going for the VT-4 iirc

[ron_23]

but again

he clearly said " I think" in that ‘offical statment’
so if anything its just his opinion

[Macron-Spokesman]
