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

@Smin1080p_WT
Hey Smin, I was curious as to when this bug report for python 5 is going to be implemented?
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/a2MJBVXUUhxZ
The status of the report says fixed however this was 2 weeks ago so I was wondering if this is supposed to be part of a larger group of fixes.

That’s all I do. I rarely destroy tissue; I mostly go after SAMs. So yes, for me personally, the HARM would be a great example of game balance. The USSR has the Kh-38MT, and the US has the HARM, which targets radars.

Have you ever played strategy games? RTS? A high-quality RTS always has balance, but that doesn’t mean all sides have the same weapons. It means one side can have strengths and weaknesses. And I want that to be the case in War Thunder. I don’t want everyone to have the same weapons. The USSR will have powerful Kh-38MT and NATO will have HARM and Longbow.

Are you allowed to tell if these other aircraft are Japanese and perhaps from the WWII era?

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t care where they launch the Kh-38MT missiles. Let them fire at tanks, and let the SPAA intercept all the missiles.

Most likely from Japan sub’s

Sub… submarines, yes?
Don’t get your hopes up about Japanese submarine cruisers with the E14Y and M6A1. I want to have fun burning the Oregon.

Hey. This report was resolved before Christmas. The external report was only just updated. But the changes have been on the live server for some time.

Not another one please…

everyone gets an IL-10

I haven’t checked and don’t see the point. The point is to give the US the Harmonic missile but not Russia because Russia has the Kh-38MT.

I’m not entirely sure if the AGM-84 can be used against tanks, as they are AShMs, like the ASM-1/2 on the F-2A

When looking for a Kh-38MT equivalent, the speed is the problem, not the range. There are barely any supersonic AGMs in the NATO inventory, most of them are subsonic or ARMs.

when they add anti radiation missiles, they will not limit them to just america. they will add them to all nations.
the russian kh-31p is a mach 3 anti radiation missile, I doubt anything america has is better than that.
And its not even the improved variant

I know you meant subtrees. I just wanted to have some fun with the wordplay.

The HARM is Mach 2.9 afaik
ALARM is close to Mach 2
Standard ARM is Mach 1.8
Sidearm is Mach 2.3
Shrike is Mach 1.5

Not sure if the later variants of the HARM are any faster, but I imagine they aren’t.

yeah, I’m not including r-27ep since who knows if gaijin will add that to the game as it’s kinda different (though it still gets a big enough warhead for use on ground targets)

I’m almost sure it will come, as well as Indonesian Tu-2 and Gaijin will tell us: “look we are adding 2 new 'WW2” planes this update, just as you asked!".
Although IL-10 at least will be sorta useful for Japanese TT, as well as Thai Firefly for example, since it still doesn’t have props of “attackers” class with which you could complete daily tasks.
Talking about Japanese TT I would love to see how they are going to fill lower ground TT levels.
