Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

[YaSen]

@KhorneFlakez1337

or the multitude of German planes that were used by Hungary

@Smin1080p_WT

Hungarian low tier aviation has not been introduced yet. We explained at the time the tree was launching with the higher tier and more needed gap filling element first.

I hope the time will bring us some unique/modified Hungarian and Romanian TT vehicles and not just copypaste planes.
This as an example.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Man, that FFA P-16 really is one of the planes of all time, isn’t it?

[battlerog]

personaly couldn’t make it work , but everybody has he’s opinion

[KhorneFlakez1337]

I mean, judging by how quickly they discontinued the pack I can’t imagine many people actually like it

[MokaMoki]

I do hope we also get to see more strategic bombers at some point. Would be pretty neat. Hopefully with a tame but respectable reworking of bombers in general.

[quartas121]

B36 with T-12 when? It is USA turn to have biggest bomb in game

B-1B with 24 JASSM-ER when?

I would like the whole SAC in game

[Pheonix_RX01]

So where were the Finnish and German 2S1’s? And the German BMP-2’s ect ect?

[Jadenbetter]

thats not going to get it faster icl, see what i do is ask smin every R&R where the falcon missiles are so he will personally code them in

@Smin1080p_WT

Scimitar

I understand its kinda your job to defend gaijin but scimitar was done horrendously, theres very few things that were done accurately on the thing its state is inexcusable.

@Smin1080p_WT

Rank V in aviation is already stacked very heavily with lots of tabbed vehicles

stacked with aircraft with legacy battle ratings from when they were top tier nearly a decade ago, vampire & venom completley outmatched, venom being higher than aircraft with fully fledged radars and sidewinders.

@Smin1080p_WT

This connection thats trying to be made that somehow they came instead of gap fillers does not exist.

we dont get the sneaky peeks you do, this is what it looks like to the plebians on the outside.

@Smin1080p_WT

The M44 was coming to the game this update, and it provides a 4.0 TD for nations that didn’t have one

when people ask for a tank destroyer, we mean a tank destroyer and not a self propelled gun. I love my SPGs, I worked at the royal artillery museum i love them dearly but they arent scratching the itch people have, a 6pdr gun carriage with APDS would have been a unique vehicle to do that as well as being a good early introduction to sub calibre ordinance in the british tree instead of diving face first into the A30 and A34.

@Smin1080p_WT

domestic SPAAs are coming and the decal itself showcases one front and centre

10.3?

We will disagree, you see the backend, myself only the front and the glaring issues.

@Smin1080p_WT

no answer I give you here would change that anyway

all your answers are using things that are themselves problematic, oversaturated BR choice or overtiered/compressed options.

I dont understand what gaijins strategy is here as the actions weve seen have only put a piece of tipex over issues

[NCC105]

Gaijin always do things slowly, I’m not saying this is right, but nothing can be done in the minutes you ask, there were some changes in recent updates, I don’t see why you guys all so hurry.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

The addition of the F-117 certainly renewed my hopes of seeing more strategic and tactical bombers being added. I desperately need to have V-Bombers, the BAC TSR-2, YB-35/YB-49, A3D-1, B-45, Sukhoi T-4, Tu-22M and Mirage IV in War Thunder!

If you play it then gaijin can see its performing badly, its unfortunate it resorts to that but it is what it is, there are a lot of vehicles to balance after all

[SidewaysCube946]

Where did that Chinese saluting profile picture go? I’ve been trying to find it and I swear it’s disappeared.

Edit: Nevermind I might actually be blind

[quartas121]

Don’t forget the B-47, 52, 1B, 36 and the FB-111

[Shay]

It was based on the AIM-4D, so not an upgrade, but still related.

[Jadenbetter]

If you got anything on it then i’d be glad to put in on the big falcon thread

The AIM-4/26 Falcon - History, Design, Performance & Discussion

The AIM-4/26 Falcon, or GAR as it was called before the new missile designation system, was the worlds first operational air to air missile and was created in many iterations by Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC) and later on help from other well known companies. It was to be the USAFs main missile and eventually found itself competing against the Navy’s Sidewinder missile which saw them used operationally in The Vietnam War where both missiles showed their strengths and weakness’s. Originally desig…

I also hope “clear” weather comes back in 2025. So tired of “cloudy”, “thunderstorms”, and “hazy”.

[KhorneFlakez1337]

I hope we get actual night battles for ARB and some more interesting weather effects. Thunderstorms without lightning, thunder or even rain are pretty lame tbh

[BagPiper02]

(idk how to quote properly so i’ll make due)

So by this logic, Britain having 4 SPAA from 10.0 to 10.3 alone isn’t “heavily stacked”?
It’s like giving Russia another SPAA compared to other nations needing it “just because”.
And I feel more people have asked for the RAF Sabre than people have asked for another C&P “Indian” AA at the already stuffed BR.
If it’s the whole “Dont want X nation to be left out”, then why leave out Britain for a Sabre?

Not everyone wants to play Top Tier, sometimes paying attention to the minority (I havent looked at stats) can be beneficial.
The amount of people that ask for WW2 stuff and Korean War stuff is higher than you’d think. Heck, I know some people that only play those BRs.

[Jadenbetter]

that + terrain following radar would be cool unlike rocky pillars
