Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

[StormRyder13]

Probably as they are the only operators of it right now right? bar a few prototype variants for Germany they’re currently the only nation with a claim for it.

And then now we get a C&P Thailand sub-TT with AV-8B and C&P skyhawks.

Thailand doesn’t operate the AV-8B or any Skyhawks. They also have a lot of unique options to offer.

Though I do feel like we are running out of space in the techtrees to add even the vehicles of one nation, let alone multiple.
Sure, some capability or BR holes are only filled with subnations, but that still takes away the space for various unique vehicles and variants while also limiting the potential of the nation added as subtree.

Take a look at Japan

Rather not nice you kept spamming smin on a near daily bases

This, exactly, right here. and we only have two ways we can go about fixing this.

A. How sub-trees work/added is changed.
or
B. We resume adding new independent nations.

Right, I almost forgot to advertise the rework suggestion again!

Subtree Rework - Nation Folders

poll [Nation Folders] Subtrees are a good way to help existing nations in their efficiency and vehicle variety, while introducing new and exciting nations to the game. They have been a part of War Thunder since the release of update “Ixwa Strike” in March 2021. Yet, they have also brought with them various controversies. From gameplay debates criticizing the addition of other nations vehicles “getting in the way” of researching the main nations vehicles, to more political discussions about wh…

The lack of MiG-17PF etc etc.

USSR MiG-17PF like hungarian from italy tech tree

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 PFU: One Fancy Fresco… [🇷🇺] [Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 PFU "Fresco E"] (Polls are at the bottom)

Overview

Back with another one! Following the theme of early-era missile carriers, we have the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 PFU, a modified MiG-17 with a afterburning engine, radar, and missiles!

Basic Information

Designation: MiG-17 PFU (Military) SP-6 (Manufacturer) Name: “MiG-17 PFU" (Official) “Fresco E” (NATO Code) Role: Fighter Interceptor …

You sir(?) are doing the good work.

We’d have half as many of the problems we do now when talking about nations to be added in the future if that was how sub-trees were in the first place, as that gets rid of the fundamental problems of sub-trees well also keeping what made them a good idea in the first place.

@TuusMortuusNex

other than Ua, whose implementation is out of the question currently

Which I think is a bit of a double standard

Why is it OK to continously add vehicles of one warring party each update, but none of the other?

China

Fairchild AC-119

Ah yes, modern gunships

Spoiler

Why would they even consider adding something like that?

Brown cheese?

Oh, this would be nice.

Add Operating Nation for vehicles on the wiki

poll Right now the only way to figure out the operating nation for a vehicle is to go into the game and look at the flag or operating nation description in game. [image] I think it would be nice to be able to access that information also out of game on the wiki as that is the go to source for some people when looking into or while talking about a specific WarThunder vehicle. For example I took the Skink and as you can see in the image above in game it’s curr…

anti tank vespa yess I want it

Why is it so bulbous, it looks over pressurized

[joshje100]

For the memes.

I just want my AC-130 I don’t care if it would be awful I can make my own fun

There’s so many aircraft that would be god awful to play in real games but that could be fun in other ways. Like again the AC-130 and other gunships, some weaponised transports like the UH-1Y (might not be bad since it’s basically just a modern Huey) and even the V-22 (trialled with chin mounted guns, a belly mounted turret like what is on the AH-60 and Hydra rocket pods I believe).

Ground vehicle crew member Physics + More Animations

poll Since ground forces became a thing in game there have been extensive features added to make things fun and realistic but something that’s been lacking is the crew themselves. It would be cool to see some more life given to the ground crew members of War Thunder by giving them more animations and have these features more detailed in open compartment vehicles that show the crew members. Currently the crew members turn their heads and observe the battlefield and the crew fixed to weapons like …

I would like to see M18 Commander with ragdoll physics.
