@Smin1080p_WT With the addition of the squadron Su-33 with it’s 580,000 squadron RP requirement will we see an increase in squadron RP gain?

20k every 3 days means if you don’t want to pay 8k GE for it you will have to wait around 3 entire months to unlock it which is absurd. If we are going to be seeing more and more squadron vehicles with ever increases squadron RP costs then we should also get an increase in the max amount of squadron RP we can gain every 3 days. Something like 50k RP every 3 days would mean it would take you just over 1 month to get it which is a much fairer amount than just 20k

To play devils advocate, think about it from a new player PoV.

How long would it take a brand new F2P account to reach Su-27 or M1A2? Probably closer to 3 months than 1.

Kinda makes sense to not have squadron vehicles (In this example Su-33 / M1 AIM) be obtainable quicker than what you can obtain a peer in the TT for, otherwise such players lose out on the experience / lineups etc they need to make good use of that squadron vehicle. If it’s too quick and easy, the problem of one death leaving AIM’s / 2PL / 80UK etc gets significantly worse.

Any chance for more modern Bombers to be included in the future of war thunder, now that we have the F-117 Nighhawk, is there a possibility for the following :-

would be nice to expand on these behemoths, even tho the maps aren’t large enough yet…

  • B-1B Lancer
  • B-2 Spirit
  • B-52H Stratofortress
  • Tu-16/H-6 Badger
  • Tu-22M3 Backfire C
  • Tu-95MS Bear H
  • Tu-160 Blackjack
  • Shut up, i want them all!!

  • i dont mind them being AI controlled
  • No, i would want full control of these
  • Both would be great, Both AI and player controlled options

There were leaks about some sort of strategic bomber event, so yeah, every chance.

If you go from brand new player to top tier yeah it makes sense but for older players 3 months for 1 vehicle is just absurd. Maybe instead of just a blanket increase it could be tied to player level or the amount of squadron vehicles you have?

Hopefully we see strategic bombers enter the game in the future, granted they will be hell to balance and most likely useless in everything bar Sim but they will be cool to see nonetheless. I just hope that if we do see them added to the game they don’t come with cockpit placeholders.

Maybe they could tie it to that daily bonuses system. So people who are already at top tier in the tree, get some sort of bonus applied to their squadron RP for vehicles of that tree.

Let’s experienced players get them in a more reasonable time frame, whilst keeping the pace as is for those who wont have lineups for them.

They could be some ai units that will affect the outcome of a game but providing a large amount of rewards when destroyed. I mean, you gotta get these things into the game so stuff like MiG-25 or avro arrow gets a practical role.

I would rather have them as player controlled assets, but i also like the idea of an AI target as well.

you can guarantee that we will have some copy-paste next patch im guessing around 40% copy paste ^^

  • 10% (just a little)
  • 20% (a bit more)
  • 30% (1/3 of the patch)
  • 40% or more

there is always more C&P than think, usually only about 10 fully new model in each update, rest is C&P or small changes

Gotta define what is though, for example, the previously leaked J-10B etc is or isnt. I do think if the model is kept exactly the same its gonna be a third or even more. One third new content, one third with minor or major interior changes, one third just actual CP vehicle.

Lets simplify it and suggest that exact copy paste, for example the NEW m44, we received 6 copies in the last patch, just off 1 vehicle

Great post here with an Analysis of that exact topic

The only issue with the post is that it’s missing a list of vehicles with how they would sort them.

As everyone has different interpretations of C&P, making it hard to take seriously as it could have had its “C&P number” inflated just due to how they think of it.

I suppose gaijin might ready legacy hornet with AIM-120 for 3 nations in Q3 or Q4 2025

Gaijin could add another 3rd & 4th generation infrared Air-to-Air Missile for china aircraft rank 8

Technically speaking this thread is about rumors and educated speculation, not just a wishlist. If you want to play it like that I can too.

And no, “they added plane X and Y so surely these “counterparts” (thinking that any Hornet variant won’t get stomped by the Typhoon/Rafale lmao) will be added next update”, is not a rumor.

Gaijin doesn’t add counterparts to vehicles the next update, just look at top tier ground for example.

According to who? The air players that already got massively spoiled beyond believe compared to the naval/ground/heli players?

I mean take the D.21, for some reason we don’t have it in game but according to Smin and Co it has different engines and guns.

For me that is not C&P
