That 's outdated now that Bvvd gave a direct answer regarding them, a few months after that leak:

We don’t have any plans to introduce those aircraft as top-tier aircraft in our current meta. In other words, we don’t see them as the pinnacle of aviation development in War Thunder. But as museum pieces, collector’s aircraft, or event vehicles ─ yes, strategic bombers might appear in the game sometime down the line. That’s because there’s definitely demand for them, and we understand that in certain special modes or simply as rare collectibles, they could be interesting for players. So we’re not ruling them out completely.
I’m ab arcade main and my main method of points is playing as aggressive as possible in the F-4E/Mig 23MLD, launch as many A2A armament as possible, use cannon ammo to strafe soft targets if there’s no enemy aircraft, rinse and repeat.
Kill ground targets until you get 250 SP, then use the small tactical nuclear bomb to strike clusters of enemy AI using CCRP. When you get 500 SP use the 30 kt bomb to destroy enemy airfields. Stay low and wide, avoid PvP!
Hi smin, idk if it’s the right thread to ask but is there a possibility of 256x256km maps and/or the April fools gamemode itself making it’s way into normal war thunder as it’s own gamemode? This but polished would make a very good gamemode
Is it intentional that the available lineups don’t include viable air to air options?
Previously events for April Fools were fixed, balanced lineups so now this seems unfair to players that lack US or USSR options. I’m not against bringing your own planes, but shouldn’t at least the best be available to everyone so that there’s no active disadvantages for not having them?
Seems like a massive oversight unless there is something like higher rewards for using worse vehicles or similar that I just missed.
honestly I would prefer the best A2A planes being the F4E and Mig23ML brings me back to when these planes were the top of the food chain and BVR wasn’t such a massive thing
