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

??? People have been waiting for the PGZ88 since 2019. It is a great addition that a lot of people were happy to see finally getting added.

Im not sure, but probably the same problem.

i mean considering the ammo placement is almost the exact same in all 3 i would expect the issue to be the same

the vickers differs slightly from the challengers but it looks like it should have an even bigger ready rack than them

Forum mains thinking they represent the majority of the active playerbase. Probably if not less than 5% atp.

Majority of the even larger casual non daily guys who come to check into the game and that percentage falls lower. (They’ll come back once teaser drops)

Most importantly… waiting for the new nuke thunder event. Had a million unique players. I’m impatient about that. Supposedly a bit more modern…. That just gives alot more usage of multirole platforms

I thought the USSR was doing relatively well in terms of additions lately.

At the very least this update it’s gonna get Chervona Ukraina though I doubt it’s gonna be just that.

I mean it’s obviously a good thing that vehicles of all sorts and ranks/br get added but the lack of new high and especially top tier MBTs in the last updates is pretty sad imo.

There’s more advanced and oppressive CAS almost every update but ground-wise the meta is basically stagnant since the introduction of the 2A7V in 2023. Adding more capable AA’s only fixes these issues to a certain degree.

Hope there’s something besides the 2RI to look forward to this time.

Let’s see the wishlist :3 I have a small one of my own

This cruiser, while not bringing much on the table (5.3), is a fine gap filler. Probably the only cruiser gap filler.

Next, please Lützow and Lützow+ (refit)

Again, people arent as likely to make positive posts. If i see a devblog that interests me I don’t comment on it, at most I leave a like. On the inverse, if there’s some news about a change I don’t agree with I’m going to voice my frustration. Its just negativity bias

Speaking of, the article abt it on the gaijinnet website was rather different from the official WT and forum versions:

Gaijin Entertainment announces that strategic bombers carrying conventional and nuclear weapons will become a new class of military vehicles in the online action game War Thunder. These giants will be joining the already available tactical aircraft, helicopters, ground vehicles, bluewater and coastal navy. The first test of these mighty machines has started today and will last until April 13th.

War Thunder players have had limited access to nuclear weapons for a while now in the form of streaks, which allowed them to spawn a nuke carrier if they performed well enough. Going forward however, these nuclear-cable aircraft will have their own research branch, introducing nuclear weapons to classic combined arms battles. Ground vehicles with high levels of protection still have a good chance of surviving tactical nuke blasts. They will not have as much of a chance against strategic strikes however, but teams can counter these attacks effectively by utilizing skillful air defense strategies.

EDIT: forgot the link

This doesn’t seem to match w/ what we’ve been told abt the actual plan for NT, but it might explain some of the reliable leaks we had abt it. The wording is similar, even though plans might have changed since it was written.

Embt 2018 maybe

@Smin1080p_WT Hello. I just want to ask how it happened that PGZ88 was released only almost 6 years after its announcement? No, really, without any negativity, it’s just interesting. Maybe it was due to the small amount of information on this car?

I think that’s just the april fools post, it usually lies about/embelishes what the event actually is. Look back at previous years and you see similar “plans” in these posts such as lowering the age rating to 4+ for the tailspin event
