Coming to mid june, maybe

I might expect 3rd gen targeting pod for 4 american aircraft rank VII & VIII and F-16AM, the early french navy 4.5 gen fighter aircraft, A-6 Intruder for researchable tech tree and domestic israel guided Air-to-Ground munitions for 3 fighter aircraft

Bomber mosquitos would be great ngl

If only I wasn’t so disillusioned when it comes to suggestions on these forums…
I really can’t get excited about suggestions being passed for consideration after looking through the backlog on the old forums and how long ago most of the interesting ones were passed.
Being passed for consideration is more akin to being sent into purgatory indefinitely.

I wish the devs would at least do basic communication when it comes to the consideration part. Let us know whether you accept or reject a suggestion instead of leaving that up in the air.

@Smin1080p_WT can you tell us how the Tornado RET8 performs compared to the Tornado ASSTA1?
Seeing they are at the same BR
While the RET8 gets MUCH (3x) more options in the guided ground weopons area

Yeah some comments by the devs on each suggestion would be nice. But I think they are still pretty exciting to see what has gotten passed to the devs and what we can possibly see in the future, even if that future is nowhere close.

Bah, call it “Bug Infestation” :p
(I’ve been invested in D&D and Baldur’s Gate 3 for a while now so it came to mind)

To get the conversation going, with April Fools being tomorrow (Currently March 31st here in Canada as of writing), anyone have any ideas what the event could be or what Gaijin may be trying to implement?
Im curious what people have to say

Datamines suggest a strategic bombing themed event, and with the recent passed to devs, i think it’s going to be something with big bombers, and lots of spacebar, also i hope nukes, let me carpet nuke somewhere

Yeah the last update seems to have broken everything.

I second that

Either Strategic bombing or multi-vehicle controls like advanced AA systems are most likely.

Personally though I would love to see testing WW1 era, specifically WW1 aircraft. With WW1 aircraft in Aces of Thunder I think it would be great to test how they would be like to play in War Thunder.

Strategic bombing would not be “April Fools”-like at all, I don’t think those leaks (or the ones for SEAD) are related to April Fools at all

100 B-52 vs 100 B-52 TDM lol

Man yesterday I was checking out the suggestion hoping that it would pass lol amazing

I can think of a couple of interesting ways to disguise testing multi-vehicle AAs, but how the heck would they disguise a Strategic Bombing mode?

It’s either strategic bombing or it isn’t, no matter if it’s from a V-Bomber, some steampunk airship or some sci-fi spacecraft. They could be testing things related to such a mode (AI behaviour, patrol and escort mechanics), but it would feel rather uninspired if the April Fools event ends up as just strategic bombing missions with fictional vehicles.
