As if they want to downscale the hype for tomorrow : P
the one we have in game already is the Su-27S though?

Which could mean, if we’re unlucky, something even less interesting tomorrow.
I guess we can expect a second devblog today right?
that’s the working theory yes
Oh youre right. It has the AL-31F engine. They should rename it the s variant then.

hope not or it means the UK is stuck with some of the worst ARH missiles as our own ARH missiles, I would at least like the Shar FA2 could be 12.0 and fun with AMRAAMs
To each their own.
I’d love to see these Dutch designs that weren’t on the leaklist.
Fokker T.V (Main bomber aircraft Dutch used)
Fokker D.XXIII (twin boom pusher fighter, experimental)
Fokker D.XXI as it was the main fighter of NL and there are two in the Swedish tree already
Koolhoven FK.58 Flew for the French so can get added under Fr flag of course
Fokker T.VIII Seaplane torpedo boat, built in fairly large numbers for Dutch standards
And perhaps a nice biplane. The Fokker C.X and the Fokker D.XVII both served in WW2.
Craziest would be de Schelde S.21 but being a semi paper plane makes it unlikely. Also a twin boom pusher fighter BUT it has a really weird canopy and a 23mm that can be locked forward or pointed down for the pilot to use as a air-to-ground turret.

Dutch operated two carriers in the Cold War. Successively. Earliest one had stuff like TBM avengers I think and most modern one had Sea Hawks.
Refurbished British design. But overall the Dutch historically, until today, build their own ships so it’s a good country for unique naval choices.
Meanwhile Gaijin:
Copy-paste Spitfire
Copy-paste Hurricane
Copy-paste Mustang
Copy-paste P-40
Copy-paste B-25

Now, I’m all for naval dev blogs. However, I mainly focus on the big boys, so a little sad but hope others get enjoyment out of it.
However… Can we expect another blog for today @Smin1080p ? Or should we relax for the day?

Mean while the Dutch can we have those seems like you won’t be using them as the war is now over

Any chance to get a second dev blog today?

The problem with that is that the Dutch ships would be forced into a tree that is much better for unique naval additions. Meaning one of them will lose out due to the way Gaijin behaves.
Their suggestion posts on the forums:
- Fokker T.5, aerial cruiser turned to bomber - Other Nations - War Thunder - Official Forum
- Fokker T.5, aerial cruiser turned to bomber
- [Development] Fokker D.XXI: The Flying Dutchman - News - War Thunder (with several versions possible) Edit: this is obviously the old dev post guys, not any new one haha
- De Schelde S.21, the Dutch all metal multirole fighter that never was

Having my small country, that normally isn’t in any video game, present in my favourite game…Any addition is welcome to me.
Naval not my focus point unless if they add carriers and subs. Two Dutch carriers can add to a French carrier line. Don’t think they had as many as the US to make a very populated line for that.
We are so close
