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

@Tubby_Vermin I know what I said but does this mean one death leavers play war thunder realistically then ?

And should we make the cost of the vehicle in game to reflect irl cost age ?

“In general, the cost of a new M1A2 Abrams is around $8.5 million to $10 million

Just a thought lol

Id be more interested in a machine like the BMP-3M with dragoon kit or kurganets-25 employing AU-220. Currently the sprut branch is unattractive because a 2S38 can do most of the jobs of the branch with a few more.

we shall see. The first dev-blogs start around the beginning/mid of may.

We dont know. Cause the gun is not IS-7 gun, the S-70 is derived from naval B-13, meanwhile this gun is copy of soviet towed M46 field gun.

I want the stun effect, but i am convinced the shaking and sparks things was just ideas. They are not going to implement either of these changes just as they were written in the post.

From what NCC posted earlier, the Chinese seems to have had some hands on the shell for the S-70. Does the B-13 use the same AP as thes-70, perhaps?

No idea.

APCBC-HE-T, BR-482 and BR-482B – range: 1,140 meters”
Ripped straight from the M46 wiki page. Give the damn thing an AP round ffs. It’s not going to be playable, and certainly not worth grinding otherwise.

I feel like there’s no world where the F-2 comes AFTER the Rafale and Typhoon. It would have to be before, especially the F-2 early as it has no AMRAAMs.

I’d think we’ll get a 12.7 or 13.0 F-15C/J MSIP for US/Israel/Japan as well as adding it other capable aircraft. It’s possible Japan gets a Thai F-16A or Gripen C but it seems weird to go for the sub-tree option when the native option exists.

I do think Typhoon and Rafale being December is on point. I feel like I’m 90% sure F-15C MSIP should be next because ARHs by itself isn’t enough of a carrot when people already have the vehicles. Makes more sense to throw in a new vehicle to milk the GE out of people. Similar story with the F-2 early, could be Sep/Oct or December, IMO.

Yeah, Its certainly possible. Im just hoping for 1 update where my SHAR isnt being dunked on by something like an F-15C

F-15J MSIP is Typhoon/Rafale equivalent in weapon systems, and superior to that of F-16.
Which is why I doubt we’d see a second BR increase in the same update F-16s and their equivalents get AMRAAMs.

F-16C has superior flight performance to the F-15C so it’s more of a sidegrade. Granted the F-15C is still a good airframe.

Do you want more staying power? F-15C
Do you want to dogfighter? F-16C

Let’s also not forget that F-16Cs with 6x AIM-9Ms would be pretty potent since multipathing still is a thing. That is to say, ARHs are overrated.

It’s not unlikely to increase their BRs after the fact. F-4EJ Kai for example got pushed up after they got the AIM-9L later.

like that’s not the Usual Royal navy roundel and I dont think its the SEAC roundel either

Video games and real life are different. Hard to believe, I know, but it’s the truth.

War thunder is more of a Arcade realism than 100% as 100% would be on DCS level but we are not : )

When i was 10 i read some books that basically went over famous aircrafts, and i remember it mentioning somewhere that the RAF and FAA roundels have their red dot removed in the pacifics to prevent being idd as a japanese one

Apparently, they announced White Rock Castle return.

But we missed that.

Does anyone know where this was?
