Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

My opinion, Python 4 for F-16C/D Block 40 Barak before Baz Meshupar and F-15I Ra’am

AIM-9M replace with Python 4 for F-16C/D Block 40 Barak but battle rating stay to 13.7, removed semi-active radar homing & active radar homing medium-range Air-to-Air Missile

Gajin might decompressed max BR to 14.0 for Baz Meshupar and F-15I Ra’am before add Python 4

The F-15IA doesn’t fully exist yet, and Israel already has Aim-120C-8s purchased from the US which are currently in use on some of their aircraft.

afaik no one uses 120D other than america so ig those be exclusive

Denmark have been cleared to purchase them

the only thing theyre gonna put 120D one are gonna be f35 and the game will probably have 120D before f35

Aim-120C-8 is essentially the export Aim-120D to put it shortly. A couple countries use them.

so its just a worse D?

Well that one was short lived but at least we got to see what a subtree may have looked like for Japan.
Just a bunch load of F-5’s lmao

Either this list is fake or there’s an error on it, Thailand only ever operated the 76mm model Scorpion. Could be a Indonesian Scorp 90, but there’s no indication that is where Indonesia would go.

Also, the 76mm Scorp would be pretty terrible in game (Unless they fudge it and give it a LRF), per the modern manufacturer of the HESH it’s only ~80mm of pen

Dont disrespect the F-5F like that ever again X:(. /j

But in all seriousness its the closest ill get to the T-38 Afaik

thats my point

wrecking is saying what the point of a 2 eater f5 is when su33 was literally leaked by gaijin which is useless

Chance of blog on 29th?

F-35I Idir carried AIM-120C-8 on weapon bays

F-15I Ra’am and F-16I Sufa never armed AIM-120C-8 ?

Removed ?

But return in the future ?

IMO premium F-14D is really questionable because D model is last variants of F-14s also, it is ways better than B model.

I assume they will add F-14A(2003) instead.

F-14A cant do modern CAS the premium has to be able to do it all. They will probably add one to the tech tree and one as a premium like the JA-37

They could do F-14B (AMRAAM)

It did test and fire AMRAAM

The " Abrams " came sooner than I anticipated for WT Mobile. Now I’m not sure what their December headline will be - something w/ thermals or a 120mm+ dart maybe.

That 's not accurate, the reasoning given for why GCS was not introduced was this:

Regarding the GCS-1, there is no information that it can succesfully detect and track ground targets. Detecting a heat signature of a ground target can be significantly more difficult than detecting ships.

( Mitsubishi F-4EJ Kai Super Phantom - Page 11 - Japan - War Thunder - Official Forum )

You might be confusing it w/ later discussions, after the AS.34 Kormoran was added; since from a code perspective self-guiding weapons do not distinguish between " land " and " sea " targets, only " airborne " and " ground " targets, the AS.34 is only allowed to launch when the player aircraft 's radar has captured the target, since aircraft radars are coded unlike self-guiding weapons and can distinguish tanks from ships. Which allows it to be added w/ the developer 's intended behaviour of only being usable against ships, even though codewise it 's not possible yet to configure the missile itself to do that.

The GCS bombs have nothing preventing them being added except for not needing ( or even using ) the launch aircraft 's sensors to find targets, which means that ingame they would not be prevented from attacking vehicles on land which is against the developer 's understanding of their use, which is only against sea targets.

^
that part is all inference from their behaviour regarding similar weapons to GCS-1, so it 's important to note that the only thing we’ve been told specifically abt GCS-1 in WT is that the devs discovered it isn’t capable of being used against ground vehicles, so they decided not to add it.

F-5T SCU and Su-33, truly this could be the december update that adds weird missiles:

Small chance of us getting an AI Kuznetsov too ? Baku was added along w/ the first VTOL carrier-based russian aircraft, maybe a new carrier will appear for the first STOBAR.

They could.

The A model in late 1990s to 2000s was basically regular F-14B with TF-30s because they got many upgrades, including RWR, targeting pods.
