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

What’s placeholder on the S.2B (other than everything about Martel)? Not really had a chance to play it yet.

Just to clarify I am not, nor have ever been a “consultant”. Other than a Community Manager, I’ve only ever been Community Helper, Suggestion Helper, Technical Moderator and then Senior Moderator before CM

can the uk get any of the multitude of planes they captured and tested :3?

the He177 Graf would be pretty funny as a premium bomber

Any chance you can put the Leopard 2A4M argument to bed? If were to theoretically come to War Thunder, would it be in the German or British tree?

The amount of arguments it caused I doubt it will be added now lol

We haven’t announced any such vehicles and we don’t comment on theoretical situations and speculation until we have something official to announce.

Well, you can’t blame me for asking given this thread has been a war zone for the last few days xD

So basically the Yak-141?
Or am i wrong? Because that thing also had no equipment right?

I made a discussion thread for it so we don’t have to talk here

long story short: I know

The Yak-141 was a fully functional prototype of a combat aircraft with detailed trials, planned weaponary and systems. The EAP does not meet that.

Are those criteria used on all aspects?
Like naval, air and helicopters as well?

As already explained, naval has different criteria due to the real world circumstances and challenges of shipbuilding and the nature of many started but unfished projects. We have detailed this in previous development Q&As.

Are active radar missiles still planned to come for this patch?

EDIT: For most nations atleast

Yes

wait so why cant we have “planned” weaponry on other tanks or planes in game? one example we had earlier for a tank not in game was the Javelin on the Ajax, by all other standards gaijin has set it wouldn’t get it as we have sources claiming it has been mounted yet lack any photos of it, but by the standards set for the Yak 141 it would so now I am confused

So planes like the EWR VJ 101 and VAK 191 are possible aswell?

We have planned weaponary on other aircraft in game. Such as the SRAAM on the Harrier GR.1.

As already mentioned, aircraft, tanks and ships have different requirements.

As a hypothetical question, if there had been no Typhoon built after EAP, would the EAP along with the planned weaponized Typhoon design be enough for an in game armed Typhoon as “unfinished prototype” similar to the YAK-141?

well lets hope it is an early blog, so the whole argument gets layed to rest. thankfully thepacks often are relatively early
