I love that it kind of looks like a hybrid between a Phantom and a Harrier
Sadly it’s gonna take a loooooong time until we are going to see more of that kind of unfinished prototype :(

Yeah… it would, but I doubt it, not even the bomber mosquito got a decent cockpit

I’m allowed to hope and pray for the P.1154 and Type 545.

Yeah, that’s basically what the p1154 was. Its a dead branch of the p1127 family, sadly.
We were so close to never having the need for F-35s man

Man, if only they would put more attention to cockpits lol
On a related note, can they just not be bothered to create a placeholder cockpit for the scout planes that haven’t been added as seperate vehicles or do they really feel the need to reserve them as event fodder?
I need my Walrus, man!

Nothing to currently announce.

Nevermind the 545 which probably would’ve meant we got our own fast jets between the Tornado, and not just the Phantom. Shame we never progressed further with that line of development.

What’s first, world peace or F-111K being added?
i mean it also never flew, because supermarine blew their foot off with a nuclear shotgun with the swift.
would be nice to see the final breath of supermarine in game tho

It’s still very odd about fully completed aircraft that didn’t fly being limited to dct events
F-111K is probably never coming. As far as Gaijin is concerned, it isn’t worth the resources. anyway (for us Brits, it’d be lovely.)
Round of applause is in order for the aneurysm that the designers had (or well, everyone to be honest) in managing to make what should’ve been a pretty decent plane into an actual abomination.

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:
( [EVENT] Lunar New Year 2026 - War Thunder Mobile - Online Military Action Game - Play for Free )
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?
