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

It still stings about the explanation. Meanwhile the fully built RE.2006 isn’t eligible outside of dct because it never flew.

careful. theres a certain teaboo that will take personal offence to the level headed observation that the swift and 545 were just below mediocre at best

Don’t get me started (in WT the Swift is mega) but irl there were some serious problems. Mainly to do with the fact that the damn thing did its level best to try kill you (outdone by the F-104 of course)

at least we werent using them at low altutude bombers like the luftwaffe did with their 104s.

The artwork for WTM 's Lunar New Year 2026 event has the rocket depth charge launcher for the Type 053H frigate visible:

It 's a little unusual that it 's not visible ingame, usually RL 's are left on the model and unusable, like the ones on Hamburg or the Pr.1155.

There are also hidden turret nodes in the files for it, which are normally for CIWS or ( until recently ) ASROC launchers - neither of which the Type 053H would have.

Shameless self promotion:

Marcel Dassault himself looked at the brits and went "why the hell are you guys self sabotaging yourselves all the time? He literally told the brits they could have had their own Mirage III if they didnt systematically destroy their own industries over and over again. At least it feels that way from an outsider’s eyes.

The US constantly trying to screw the brits over certainly didn’t help too.

why is the mobile game getting better events than the game that actually keeps this damn company afloat?

I did not see it at RIAT that year but I saw it at church fenton where they did a missing man formation with the Vulcan and the gnats as they had lost one of them earlier that year if i remember it correctly

I wonder if we’ll see the IAI Lavi this year.

I mean, granted, there weren’t any plans to use the Maus turm on the E-100 after January of 1943, as it was dropped in favor of a modified Maus II turm, which was under construction. So I don’t know how “realistic” using the base Maus turm on the E-100 actually turns out to be. If anything, I think what we have in-game is closest to the completely paper Tiger-Maus, Krupp 170-130 tonne Panzer ‘Mäuschen’. But it’s a moot point at this rate.

It is annoying that the only P-47Ms are both limited time premiums does anyone know the next time they will be back

No way to tell for sure, Gaijin doesn’t do every nation/military related holiday every year

Polish and USAF holidays would be the dates to wait for

You can look at @gszabi99 s wonderful spreadsheet to see the relevant holidays and their dates

@Smin1080p_WT I was just thinking since the Canadian Spitfire now has the correct operators flag, could it be possible for the Rhodesia Hunter to get it’s operators flag since War thunder does celebrate Zimbabwe Independence Day a few times with this aircraft ?
