[Rowiek]

Smin already told this multiple times. It wont be coming in the near future.

[Hyrikul]

Great, more nerf for France, but gonna keep the BR up somehow xD

[Sgt_Chieftain]

Mkay, also whilst I’m on about missiles, I want to know why the F.3 didn’t receive 9Ms and the FGR.2 hasn’t got access to 9Ls

[Rowiek]

Because britain is not a major nation

[Mytho-GR1]

@Sgt_Chieftain

I know it will probably be a while, but I kinda wanna know when we are going to get things like the ASRAAM for the UK (and for other nations ofc)

most likely with the EFT so a while yet

It is this:

Bonuses for researching new in-game nations

Currently, War Thunder features 10 playable nations, and we have no intentions of stopping there! However, as we introduce new nations, it becomes increasingly challenging to capture the attention of veteran players. They have already traversed the ranks multiple times, and therefore, each new journey through a different tree becomes less captivating.

To address this, we plan on implementing a system to alleviate the situation. If a player has a top vehicle in a vehicle branch within one nation, they will receive a RP bonus when researching the equivalent branch of other nations.

In the research tree, certain vehicles will be marked as “top” vehicles for each nation at any given time. Once a player gets one of these vehicles, they will receive an RP bonus when researching other nations where they haven’t yet obtained the top vehicles. The size of the bonus will depend on the rank being researched and will be applicable for the first three battles played each day.

The preliminary bonus for each rank will be:

• For rank IV +15%
• For rank V + 25%
• For rank VI + 35%
• For ranks VII and VIII + 50%

These are our initial plans, but we may adjust them by the time the new mechanics have been introduced.

We plan to add these bonuses in a future major update, planned for October-November 2023.

How is that hindering those 2 planes from receiving those missiles?

[Morvran]

I reckon Tornado Gr4, sometime end of the year. WIth the Tornado Gr1 being semi-finished in June (based upon roadmap) that would track

[x_Shini]

bonk

[FurinaBestArchon]

Hopefully carousel autoloaders will receive a damage model as well :)))

[Morvran]

Yep, that is what we were discussing and its on the new roadmap, so maybe this year

[Smin1080p]

@Sgt_Chieftain

for dogfighting? I can’t think of any that would be good other than the ET

There are no domestic British “dogfight” jets really until we get to Typhoon. Which we are not close too currently at all. Which is why the Gripen was introduced.

Other aircraft will fill other gaps until that point. We have more domestic British aircraft planned in other areas.

[Smin1080p]

Right next to the banhammer.

[Deathmisser]

@Smin1080p

Other aircraft will fill other gaps until that point.

Will they be blufor or redfor ? as it will be strange to have Mig 29s in our tree lol

[Mytho-GR1]

@Smin1080p

We have more domestic British aircraft planned in other areas.

The question is which one
harrier
harrier
or tornado

[Morvran]

All British Phantoms were equipped with 9Ls. In fact so was the jaguars. Its a BR balancing thing, not fact.

[Deathmisser]

That now a ban for swearing lol

[Fireraid233]

Dont question him bro 💀

[Serkay64]

Could you specify what exactly about it would be too advanced for now?

[Morvran]
