Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

I haven’t played any meteor yet, and the only one directly available for me to grind is the belgian one, which is why I’m asking if it’s interesting and I should bother play it


The future of british tank design if they keep making the fing Challenger heavier

ERA modeled for the Oplot, no more armoured glass

The Comanche’s Disco Mode is still here on the dev server

Least it has armour

Curious why Oplot is deemed far enough away from said horribleness in the East
But Raven was deemed to close to said horribleness?

The M55 was only every used in-service with 7 nations, with Belgium being the second and last operator.

  • Belgium
  • Spain
  • Taiwan
  • Turkey
  • United States
  • West Germany
  • Italy

5 out of these nations have now a fixed place in War Thunder and are a part of the 12 tech trees we have now.

There’s some new unused Mosquito models in the latest dev server update.

The N.F. Mk.II

And the T.R. Mk.33

Considering they are supposed to come to the UK with this update, I’ll hazard a guess and say they’re likely to come with the next dev server update.

Guess what is the reason for them modelling an early NF variant but not the one Sweden used

I think ppl will use it for two resons

  1. The spice 250
  2. It has a MAW
    The Maw is always nice to have and is able to warn you about ir missiles that were fired at you, which is really useful especially if you are fighting the newer SAMs

Ngl, if the B-66 is going to stay rank VI, i really really hope Gaijin revices how they do airspawning for certain vehicle classes above rank V, because rn stuff like B-66 and numerous other bomber/strike aircraft are rather useless things since neither get an airspawn and will never be fast enough to reach their desired targets, and dont have the combat capabilities to properly defend themselves

is its engine still really underpowered?

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I don’t like ADENs and don’t think they’re particularly good

The velocity is around 850 m/s which is slow for jet tier, you have to lead so much.

And they’re also plagued by Gaijin’s inconsistent HE damage bug

ADEN and other German derived 30mm were good for subsonic jets. Heavy hitters, not too hard to aim at those slower speeds. But damn, ADEN and DEFA just aren’t great above say 10.3. Thank god EFT and Rafale now use new 27mm and 30mm with better velocity

@Smin1080p_WT hi i hope you are doing good. I have a quick question for you, given that the current precendet for prototype made in cooperation between two countries that are in game are that both nation get them (df 105, clovis, MBT 70 etc…) Is there any chance the CV90105 tml could go to france? Given that this was a project conjointly made between k and GIAT

Personally I love the Mk.8s, granted most of my play time is with the prem UK one so it has a bit more versatility as CAS, but in ARB they’re just… Easy, that’s the best way to put it.

They’re not bad at anything glaring, short wing meteors don’t pull as hard as the earlier ones, but they’ll still keep up in turns with just about everything, and the short wings roll much better and are generally much nicer to dogfight with imo.

It’s a very forgiving flight model overall, they’re not fast, but they do most things well enough that if you’re a competent pilot you can get a lot done.
