They could go as late as vessels like the Sverdalov, the last proper gun boats
how is it looking,
f18?
The mobile game has lots of things the desktop game doesn’t, including missile ships and submarines. No doubt it’s a testing ground for implementing new features, but it also doesn’t try to simulate nearly as much as the desktop game does.
I bet we absolutely will see the ships that are currently in WTM in the main game at some point.
… It’s in the game already?
i were talking about this type of aircrafts lol i did not mind them lol

I know, but that’s about as late as they can go, I don’t know any later gunships of the top of my head
DO NOT TELL ME YOU MADE HIM SIT ON THAT THING!
lol
That is Chinese counterpart to EA-18G
Can we expect VR improvements, with the development of Aces of Thunder ???
with this can we get a better VR experiance with ships and tanks, planes work, but happy to get more improvements in that department.
Been doing alot of Sim Air in VR, its amazing!!!

I think skink should be 5.0 at most
Guys recently went rank III france air tree, why do I get one-shot almost systematically while at rank II my plane very well survived plenty hits? Is that just bad luck or skill issue or is it a fact
Likely an increase in the number of canon armed aircraft.
With the lowest BRs, smaller calibre MGs are the most common and to get kills with those, you often have to put a sustained burst into the target to set fire to the engine or kill the pilot.
When you start to encounter heavy MGs like the 12.7mm/50cal and the 20mm Canons like teh Hispano, the damage dealt by these shells increase significantly. 20mm rounds can blow apart a fighter sized target in just a few rounds.
Rank 2 can be a mix of both small calibre and larger calibre, but as you enter rank 3, they tend to have much better ammo capacity.
If you want to see the size difference in the rounds used during WW2, this is a great video for the spitfire

Makes sense ig… Also why is the VB.10-02 ranked much higher than the D.520 while it maneuvers like shit? Its only strength is its weaponry fr
I have no idea.
Speed and armament I would assume, time on target for the VB.10-02 is very low, and it can presumably control engagements better thanks to its speed, though I haven’t spent much time in either so that’s just my guess
Just add super hornets w/ LRASM and air launched Harpoons then. And gulf war Iowa class
Thats pretty modern stuff, Iowa modernised would be cool

Unfortunately the Iowa class doesn’t really help much, it’s role is better suited to land attack, and it’s air defences aren’t great, and one Hornet isn’t quite as potent as a Tico, a solo Nimitz class is pretty defenceless too, the issue is that modern US navy doctrine requires a group to do anything, whereas the Soviet anti capital ship cruisers while not amazing at anything, can do a bit of everything
Now I don’t know a huge deal about naval battles, but I do know that anything that requires teamwork doesn’t work in war thunder
It has some Harpoons and is very well protected, that armor will still help against Soviet missiles
And if you could direct a flight of super hornets with Harpoons and LRASM it’d be pretty effective
A solo Nimitz class still has a fair bit of close range surface protection and medium range air defence coverage with its missiles
I believe the Iowa, like most US Navy surface ships carries 8 Harpoons, like I said the role of destroying surface ships lies with the carriers, and while they do have pretty good point defencec they aren’t on the level of a Tico, and even a Tico would struggle to defend against a salvo of Granit or Bazalt missiles by itself.
If you could control a squadron of fighters that would make a difference, combined with the US’s superior AWACS potentially levels the field, but then it mostly comes down to information, and likely both ships end up sunk xD
The Iowa carries 16 Harpoons and 32 tomahawks. They could also add nuclear tomahawks to make them usable against naval targets.
I think controlling squadrons is the best way to balance it out though
