Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

F-4 did decent against MiG-21 when it wasnt loaded with literal tons of bombs and napalm no? anyways, if it wasnt for ROE the a2a record wouldve been very different.

damn, I thought we were going into Iran looking for nuclear weapons…

Joking aside, I hope it’s worth it. The game feels very monotonous lately.

1 GB update, is this perhaps the SAM event?

I don’t have any update

My game just updated to 2.45.48

yeah nvm my game is 2.45.48 too. But still no Event available
I hope it comes out today

I just remembered this might be the event Meteor(?)

Ngl I was hoping for the Nam event too haha

Probably soon seeing that there are stealth aircraft already being added. It wouldn’t be unbalanced because as soon as it opens its weapons bay, it is no longer stealthy. It’s thrust vectoring and maneuverability bleeds a lot of its speed. There will also be a delay in the machine gun firing because it needs to open and come out of the fuselage at the front, meaning you will have to shoot a second or two earlier, which means it can be hard in dogfights where you may only have a split second to get your shot out, or you may lose.

Gen 5 will have too little diversity, it will literally be F-35s everywhere with a few F-22s, Su-57s and J-20s from time to time. So it’ll hardly be fun

oh fair enough

J-35 isn’t finished yet, can’t be implemented
Su-75 idem
KF-21 idem
TAI KAAN idem
And when I said F-35s everywhere it’s for a good reason: out of 10 nations, 8 can have at least one F-35

What about FC-31?

Only at development stage as well

The first 5th generation fighter aircraft, and pure air superiority fighter

Without AIM-9X (Blk 1) and JHMCS, and zero Air-to-Ground munitions

Block 30/35 or Block 40, or MLU ?

F-35B early (Block 2B)

11 nations in war thunder

Isnt FC-31 and J-35 the same? FC-31 being the designation used by the Manufacturer while it was a private venture and J-35 the PLA designation once they became interested.

Ngl I really hope Turkey be a sub for Germany, mailny due to Modern stuff like these would really help
