Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

I’m sure just getting a new nation would get us through at least one part.

in war thunder most speed seems to be restricted to the sights

it can move that fast yes, but because the the sight isnt as fast the gunner / commander dont actualy see where they shoot thats the issue, they would need to wait a bit after the barrel adjsuted to the target to actualy fine tune aim

i am aware

I fabricated it because the F-18 was fake too. Just wanted to cash in on a joke that literally no one got. But that’s okay lol.

We’ll have to see how Gajjin handles the details. As I understand it tho, several tanks in game enjoy are much higher rate of gun elevation speed then what they would in real life due to some restriction or another, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Gajjin never implements this one,

Oh I didn’t realize the F-18 one is also confirmed fake lol

Right now, all we know is that the Gripen C for Sweden is supposed to be coming out in the next major. QOL should be expected to be sprinkled in as Gaijin sees fit. Everything else is either fake, speculation, or confirmed a long way away (Eurofighter).

just to say sth, the weird rumour about leopard gun elevation speed is wrong, the 10° per second is when switched to manual to not damage part of the tanks if the barrel rams into it because the limiters are turned of as well

Already a big update for China if real. The ZBD-04 is a welcome addition as a modern IFV for China, and my guess for the new helicopter is a later modification of the Z-10 that can carry fire and forget missiles

just saying buuuut AH-64

the leak seems real since one of the main things chinese mains have been asking for its a new light tank to fill their top tier lineup and the ZBD-04 would fit perfectly in the tech tree

F-20 would be a good pick for a AMRAAM fighter. Though to me it’s more likely it’s going to be the air reward for the next event.

As for japan maybe another F-15 I will find it hard to expect of they give the Japs the F-2 while us Brits get’s our Typhoon denied

It’s possible too, although would be kinda mid

Plus we know that better Chinese helicopter missiles are in the files so it would make since to add a more modern Z-10 to use them since Chinese helicopters aren’t the gods they used to be when they were first added.

I would love the ZBD-04 to be real, as it would mark the start of a new generation of Chinese IFV’s in war thunder, and would actually be a good light tank.

A later Z-10 could also help fix the problem with Chinese helis, which is that they arnt super good at CAS compared other helis in game.

what kind of F&F missle were the chinese ones?

they look kinda clonky and cheap but they are good overall

CM-502 ATGM’s I believe, lemme look for the pic in the files

i mean the targeting system, if its optical /ir like spikes, or the problematic milimeter radar, which opens a can of worms

its IIR, Sem active laser and satelite or something like that

Should be optical, like Spike

The Chinese do have millimeter wave options, but this would be more like PAR’s or Spikes, so wouldn’t be anything new
