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

Since you mentioned Tirpitz… do you know which differences exactly it has compared to Bismarck in terms of armor?

I only know it’s a few thousand tons heavier because of it (and better anti-air suite), I believe to recall +5mm on the belt and on the decks above the magazines…?

I really doubt we’ll ever get AMBERs too

If Gaijin want 5th gen to be a bit more unique and allow a partly built prototype then the 5th gen F-X (26DMU) could be a nice addition here.

Design Mockup stage for 5th gen F-X, ending with 26DMU as the final design concept for the new fighter

26DMU was the final design before final development. This can also be seen with the fuselage section built which has the F-22 style weapons bays introduced with the 26DMU design.

It was a separate development from 6th gen F-X (now GCAP) which had different requirements and an entirely new design mockup stage.

6th gen F-X official render (before merging into GCAP)


The 6th gen F-X design is very different from the more conventional 5th gen F-X.

I hope your wrong if your not I hope we trade the mrml for the because id much rather the extra hardpoint with 2 then the just 4 on one rack the mrml looks so goofy compared to amber.

I think that’s exactly why this topic is confusing. We already have multiple examples in War Thunder where prototypes or testbed configurations that never entered service were added anyway, as long as there was sufficient documentation and a gameplay purpose.

The F-16AJ is probably the clearest example of that. So it feels inconsistent when “never entered service” is used as a hard limitation in some cases but not others. At that point it seems more like a balance or pacing decision rather than a strict realism rule, which is fair, but it should probably be communicated that way instead.

The USMC went 3 years without a single accident by the way. They opened it up to new pilots with limited experience because they assumed it was easy to operate.

An engine change could also be done in the carriers hanger in like 4 hours mate.

Dont believe google AI.

That is the BAE Tempest

so i was right

Harriers are so hot in WT that even AIM-9D can lock them from the front

They have an IR signature almost as low as the Alpha jet IRL.

god that render looks ugly, i think its how it feels like the tail is just off.

I know it sound dumb and will probably turn out completly different looking but the f47 render recently has such a cool futury vibe.

how does gaijin model heat on aircraft? aircraft thrust?

isnt that from all 4 exausts being counted as seperate engines or did they fix that.

I think it is its own coefficient in the game and each air craft has it set to something corresponding to its irl IR signature

Yes, and harrier is modeled as having 4 separate engines.

4 independent heat signatures all close together and a very high TWR.

There is already an accepted report in, the harriers IR sig needs to be dropped 10X over.

No, that isn’t right.
