General dissapointment

Yeah true, I’ll add it to the list of “other than…” for next time

I called next week last week since the devblog season started on Thursday of last week instead of sooner.
It’s also the September/October update, so they’re not in any rush.

I expect the usual ton of tech tree vehicles, ton of unique vehicles, new mechanics are probable.

And they are actually selling

By “new mechanic” what do you have in mind?

Finland is one of the most butchered nations in the game, they even paywalled vehicles that would have genuinely helped the tree, like the J35XS which was the most viable option of draken with flares

i need my fix gaijin

I mean Danish supremacy, we could’ve been even more powerful but gaijin is afraid to give Nordic nations their A2A missiles. Also no RB28 or RB27

AIM-9N-2 would be disgusting but help given you only have 2 missiles

RB72 also would be very nice to see

I mean as far as gaijin is concerned if any F-5 that never used countermeasures can get ALE-60 for balance I don’t see why we couldn’t get Johan Gul and Johan Blå with either the Finnish CM setup or our CM setup

Magic 1 at 10.0 exists, I don’t think we can really get much more disgusting

I mean AIM-9N-2 is a smokeless motor AIM9P3 with a 3.5s burn time compared to the 2.5 standard,

Better distance and no smoke, in Sim it would be brutal

MFW other countries buy some of the best jets in the world but they’re clearly just “Copy and Paste” :3

@Smin1080p_WT Are there any plans to bring back aircraft detection with ESM in the next update? When it was removed it was said that it is being temporarily removed to be revised and brought back. Are there any plans for the next update?

Flare code.
Electronic Warfare.
External-fuel tank combo-units [F-18E’s comes to mind].
More refinement to RCS code [which is already ahead of DCS’s code].
AI improvements.
More…

All of these are probable, but time will tell what is ready, what shows up, what is announced, etc.

I put F-35 above J-35XS in usability. 24 flares + 4X chaff is a better option IMO.

Man, I feel like I’m going to run out of likes.
Copy-paste isn’t an inherent negative to War Thunder, especially as premiums.
At worst, it’s slightly less time spent on unique vehicles, but mathematically making a copy-paste vehicle allows more time to work on unique vehicles.
