what they’d probably do is when 5th gens are added they would go in rank X
gen 4.5’s and that in rank 9
gen 4s in 8, then the status quo for what’s below
Way down the line maybe. The rank system doesn’t really exist to seperate tech generations or eras, the ranks are just a way to slow down progression by making people research multiple columns instead of just one
Hmmmm… I hope I will be home in 7 days tops. So I hope I had played enough before leaving!
Hopefully they keep it to rank 9 since going to rank 10 will make all the rank 8 premiums useless for grinding like how all the rank 7 premiums will now be useless which are arguably the better choice for grinding.

Well, I can say this. If they start making premium rank 9 fighters, it will most likely mean that they have plans to make rank 10 fighters
Could I suggest trying out GeForce Now? You can play the pc version of War Thunder on your phone this way, queue times are kind of long though
@Smin1080p_WT What is being done about the constant packet loss on the game servers for the past 3 days? For context I only play US servers, and I know it’s been going on for the last 3 days because everyone in the lobby complains every time it occurs.

They probably will do that and with how heavy the penalty is for researching outside of the efficiency limit it’s a scummy thing to do. Charge £60 - £70 for a premium to grind out a tech tree only for them to be invalidated soon after and forcing you to buy the next rank of premiums in order to not spend ages on the grind.
They need to rework the efficiency penalties but Gaijin being Gaijin they just want peoples money. a 60% penalty is absurd for being 1 rank over.
I’m mad now that if I want to actually be able to get the next lot of aircraft in a reasonable time I have to buy rank 8 premiums and play at an awful BR.

its generally does,
Props in rank I-IV,
Gen 1+2 Jets in Rank V
Early Gen 3 Jets in Rank VI
Late Gen 3 in Rank VII
Gen 4 in Rank VIII
then hopefully
Gen 4.5 in Rank IX and Gen 5 in Rank X
then ranks XI and XII for when Gen 5.5’s and 6’s exist
There are exceptions (mostly jets with overly powerful missiles) that buck the trend, but its an in general thing.
Ranks for Tanks and Helis make a lot less sense
even Naval has a general trend too
Yeah, packet loss is extremly inconsistent on EU servers too. Always happen at the worst possible moments (recovering from a dive at last moment, which appears as you have made it only for you to see your plane burning on the ground one second later because packet loss lost exactly your recovery lol). Games with constantly high packet loss (>30%) are rare but an occurence nonetheless. It was extremly bad after the second last major patch last year but got better until today.

Haha this is so true
Sure, from a general perspective the air ranks do mostly fit that pattern, but unless they entirely restructure the trees, there will always be a fair chunk of vehicle placements that don’t follow that pattern
Some nations have fewer exceptions, others have more and there is going to be plenty of overlap in rank IX with modernized gen 4s and possibly an early F-22 likely making their way into that rank
Again, at some point in the future they’ll probably add rank X as a “peak” with just a single plane for the majority of the TTs, but it’s gonna take a while until we get there.
Rank 10 is going to be added so that all the rank 8 premiums are useless for grinding and to ram rank 9 premiums down our throats.
They’ll add rank 9 premiums way before adding rank 10, I can almost guarantee that lol
I haven’t digged much into this whole Rank IX thing, is the RP cost gonna increase, and if it does by how much?
