Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

So your telling me that someone thought its a grand idea to add a 10.7 Tank that is meant to be a “counter” to the T-14 Armata?

Which the T-14 will most likely sit at maybe 13.0 at the VERY least.

And at the same time will annoy every British player cause they would rather have something domestic like… The AJAX or the Challenger 3 that Morvran suggested earlier?

Uk players: “can we get light tanks”
Gaijin: “no, have a south african subtree”
UK players: “can we get a decent top teir?”
Gaijin: “yes have a SOUTH african Gripen”
UK players: “can we have a top tank that isnt a challenger?”
Gaijin: “have an indian T-90”
UK players: “can we get a better jaguar?”
Gaijin: “here have an Indian Jaguar”
UK players: “can we have something commonwealth then?, maybe a canadian Leo or a CF-18 perhaps?”
Gaijin: “NO, stop asking for everything commonwealth, you are nott a commonwealth tree!”"

Yeah, thats simply it

“fix the tech tree?”

“Na… To much effort, just add Soviet C&Ps”

We dont need another Jag,Harrier or Tornado. It just clutters tree. Like the tree doesnt need another DoA plane like Mirage III or the above mentioned ones. Tornado will still be useless even with AMRAAMs, still same brick. Canadian Hornet you might get, but only when Germany get Swiss one and Sweden get Finnish one.

I mean I’m not surprised as BvvD literally said his go to nation is Russia via a recent interview so other nations getting Soviet things isn’t surprising

What?

“Lets not add iconic and important BRITISH vehicles to the BRITISH TT because I think they might not be any good”

Really?

Harrier Gr9A would add the best CAS harrier in the game from any nation

Mk107 Engine
HMS
6x Aim-9Ms
Brimstones
Gen 3 Tpod

Tornado Gr4 would be an incredibly good CAS aircraft as well (some really lovely QoL upgrades over the Gr1)

FLIR
Brimstones
Gen 3 Tpods
ASRAAM

Jaguar Gr3A granted would be a little more limited unless it got ASRAAM. But even with Aim-9Ls it had HMS among other upgrades.

Tornado F3 FSP would be limited in WVR. But so is apparently the F-15 vs the Gripen. Does that mean they arent gunna add the F-15C? Nothing American or Soviet is gunna beat the Rafale or Typhoon in WVR. So i guess that means no more Soviet or US aircraft at top tier?

How about we add them

" Bulannikov: I try to play at least 20-25 hours a month in War Thunder using my personal account. Usually, these are gaming sessions on weekdays after work with colleagues for about 2 hours per session. We do not participate in tournaments or squadron battles, but we usually play at top ranks so experienced players are fighting against us. I play mainly in Soviet vehicles since I chose it at the very beginning of my War Thunder gaming experience, and now I have fully unlocked tech trees of ground vehicles, aviation (with the exception of a couple of planes) and ships."

I’m still double-downing on what I said earlier. In no way in shape or form will a Indian sub-tree to the UK be a great idea, it is a bad idea which will make British mains irritate that they will not get the domestic vehicles that Britain has made.

The only time I will say that India can be added is If and I mean it IF the British made it for them or they bought something from the U.K. Like the Jaguar IS.

Anything else that has absolutely nothing to do with Britain is deem unnecessary and should be added to a full independent Indian tech-tree.

Yep. What little we actually need. South Africa can fill with ease. At the moment for air, thats another fighter at 10.3 ish.

thats it for our air tree. Beyond that maybe a CF-18. Its not massively needed but would be nice

Yes,it clutters the trees necessary and extends grind. Just like it was seen on German 29,where the first one could have been added with R-73s instead of making it the exact same plane but with different marking behind 400k RP wall. And Brimstones? Forget about them, they are in same boat as L Hellfires,seeing through smokes and foliage. ASRAAM aint coming anytime sooner either just like IRIS-T.

In that case. I guess no more A-10s, F-111s, F-16s, F-15s or F-14s for the US tree or no more Su-25s, Mig-23s, Mig-21s, Su-27s, etc for the soviet tree because it just clutters the TT and extends the grind

I feeling like they are just commissioning stuff too early for a Indian tree so they props went " Oh shoot we forgot to pay the commissioner quick let’s add them in Britain".

Hence why pretty much most of the Indian things are GE or event.
but that just my gut feeling

I mean depending on how close you want to skirt the paper aircraft line you could technically swap the CF-18 out for the P.1216, supersonic VTOL with blue vixen

It had a full scale tail section build but only to test its structural integrity and most of the info later in its development are classified as it played a big role in JSF after it was canned, so a prototype could have been in the works, they were certainly very close to it at before you enter highly classified areas

They wont add EAP because it never carried a live weapon. I doubt those kinds of prototypes would ever see the light of day.

The only Prototype i think we have any hope of ever getting is the TSR2

Indeed no more F-16s,as we already have F-16C. Unlike things too soon for the game or things we will never get like the Brimstones. Brimstones are the only thing these things have over their counterparts now. And ARH capable SA Gripen is indeed much better than DoA Tornado noone will play even with AMRAAMs. And i say that as someone who tali´d ADV and grinded the remainder of Italian tree i was missing with it.

And for once you should try to play other nations other than UK to have experience from more sides.

Yeah I guess, although a Supersonic bomber update would be really cool

B-58 for USA
TU-22 for USSR
TSR.2 for UK
Mirage IV for France

I still hate the fact we are got two Indian aircraft while we got one from our own sub tree.
well three if you count the Canberra bomber video

So let me get this straight, you want just one version of each vehicle to be added and just no more?

How does that make the game interesting for people who care about the vehicles?

I will play it. So will quite a few. If Sea Harrier FA2 drops I will have it unlocked and probably spaded long before I even consider the grind to even unlock the ARH on the Gripen. Heck i’ve barely even touched it since the F3 has gotten a better SB bracket.

Not too mention the F3 is missing a LOT.

at this rate. I dont need to, I can experience Sweden, Russia and France just by playing the UK TT. This is the problem. Besides what’s that got to do with the price of bread?

I want to play aircraft like the FA2 and F3 FSP.

If you want a Mig-21, go play the Russian TT
