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

It’s fine, it fills a very similar role to the SU-27, so it was either Squadron, Premium or a likely overlooked folder TT vehicle, I think Squadron is the best of those options.

Plus, the Flanker is an incredibly popular vehicle, and now everyone can get one for free, it’s just great all around

[BACKRAGE44428]

so would anyone be opposed to f15 stol as a sqaudron

[quartas121]

is this real pic with weapons?

[BACKRAGE44428]

yes

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Is that thing even real?

[quartas121]

hell yeah

[BearHasLanded]

Personally, because it would require making some of its capability up, it would make more sense as a premium, but I’m all for it being added, just so long as it’s not tech tree

[BACKRAGE44428]

personally if i was gaijin i just folder tech demos under the orginal vehicle

[BearHasLanded]

It isn’t the STOL/MTD though, it’s a predecessor to it

[quartas121]

so F-15SE foldered under an F-15E (late)?

[quartas121]

still pretty cool though

@KhorneFlakez1337

You just can’t expect Gaijin to add every vehicles of every nation,

I would agree. It would be unreasonable to say that Gaijin should add vehicles of literally every nation. There are some that wouldn’t add anything to the game…

But there are a lot of vehicles that are unique, and would bring something new to the game. Including examples like Canada, Australia, Turkey, and Poland.

@KhorneFlakez1337

If a main nation can fill its existing gaps with its own vehicles, why would subtree (or third party) vehicles take that spot?

It doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. Gaijin’s rules on how many vehicles can be in a tree, or in a rank/line are arbitrary. Only the “five lines maximum” rule seems to depend on external factors.

@KhorneFlakez1337

If playing vehicles operated by your country is so important to you, you can always customize your vehicles to somewhat look like the ones in service with your country.

But again, what about vehicles unique to that country? If War Thunder’s goal is to represent the history of military vehicles, shouldn’t representing even obscure or forgotten machines be important?

And if those vehicles are going to be included, then where?

[BACKRAGE44428]

i didnt know its name all i see people reference it as is the stols predeccesor so sorry

[BACKRAGE44428]

yeah

[Pvt_Wade]

this is a concept drawing

[quartas121]

maybe we could have F-15SR or YF-23 as squadrons too

mach 1.72 supercruise on a fighter jet in 1991

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Nah, it seems to be a real picture, but of a pre-production F-15B with special 2-D thrust vector nozzles

[Motherhen357-psn]

@gszabi99 updated the site w/ more unused aircraft skins discovered in the files:

[Pvt_Wade]

you just copied that from Wikipedia didn’t you

[x-GeeNo_MS-x]

the argentine one is for the israeli Nesher that didnt get added to it also i dont know why it wasn´t actually, maybe gaijin wants to add the argentinean subtree to israel and they save this for later.
