Like the Harrier GR1, they probably use 1 cockpit for all, even those that dont have certain things like a flare button
Well, but then is the question which Plane has this Cockpit with Flares IRL
good question
where is BR change
probably illumination flares
MiG-19s use the MiG-19S cockpit iirc
@Smin1080p_WT can we expect a change on missile counter missile(iron dome) changes…right now missiles fired from aircraft have a 100% intercept even when the missile have to pull alot to intercept…it has disrupted sim top tier and turned it into missile shoot down simulator

Seconded.
It is very annoying. I just quit a match 3 mins in because the very first engagement someone shoots at me, I fire off and notch/defend and they decide to fly straight and shoot down my missile. By all accounts, it should’ve been a guaranteed kill (if not, a very close one), but no, for whatever reason, not only are all missiles visible on aircraft radar (this shouldn’t even be possible unless datalinked with ground radar or it’s something like AIM-54/Fakour-90 in size) but the missiles pre-AIM-120D/PL-12A can shoot them down with 100% accuracy.
I don’t mind that SAM/SPAA can shoot down missiles. That’s their thing, higher powered radar and all. What I hate and what’s been actively reducing my playtime on War Thunder is that stupid MCM mechanic (in aircraft, SPAA/SAM is fine) still in the game.
Remove it, or at the very least reduce the efficiency of it so it’s not a sure thing every single time. I can’t really speak for Air RB where I’ve seen instances of it spilling over there but, if Gaijin intends to eventually introduce new missiles, this still being in the game at whichever time they’re introduced won’t mean much when players can simply shoot down what’s coming for them if they’re not confident in their ability to evade them and thus making their potential addition to the game, as the kids would call it, “DOA”.
It’s annoying, it’s unrealistic (for current ARH air to air missiles) and it’s straining an already anaemic gamemode (Air Simulator Battles) into the ground, at least in the top bracket BRs

Well with the current event being a air vehicle and with victory day coming up any predictions for the next ground vehicle given it’s will likely be Soviet like the last 3 years iirc?
My bet is Millionaire
There was a “new” vehicle spotted in the files. But guesses are that it wont be for either the next BP, event or victory day and instead sth separate for this movies release:
(30th of April or sth)

i swear if we have another event yak after the eremins…
I would probably get it, because base Yak-1 is peak, should probably play Yak-1B and Yak 7 too
smells more like a premium to me
i mean we already have an aircraft event going on
i mean i they did deviate from the normal schedule last year (i really hope we dont get 3x aircraft even in one marathon)
After current major update onwards
I might want domestic USAF early heavyweight 4th gen fighter aircraft lower 12.0 (11.0 ~ 11.7) to rank 8
The USAF F-16C Block 25 & Block 30 (early production and pre- Air National Guard config)
Night Falcon (based on General Electric engine) early production (1988 ~ Q1 91’s)
The USA aviation tech tree lack early 1st gen fighter aircraft from USAAF/USAF (6.0 ~ 6.7) and USN (6.3 ~ 7.0)

Officially? No.
Guesses/Predictions, I can imagine Swiss Ground and/or another subtree to Japan (eg Malay Ground, Indonesian, etc.). Probably another Infantry CBT.
-Maybe one of the 2026 Decal vehicles (Palmaria, F-16XL, forgor the rest)
