Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Potentially could run aground on the EUs “spirit not letter of the law” system due to allowing you to buy custom amounts GE but the discount system doesnt apply though I think? Akin to when apple tried to be cheeky over power cables (though not saying gaijin are doing this purposefully like Apple was ofc)

Honestly, I dont see why gaijin doesnt add the discount system to that too, with additional discount levels going up.

Yeah either they done that on purpose or like with every aspect of the game it just isn’t finished yet. But yeah I think it’s more likely they done it on purpose.

When can i await first dev blog?

The statistics.

Edit:

IDK why the sheet refuses to load properly.

Israeli mig29 huh

Because it can’t carry the GBU-10 there, while the OCU in game is completely missing the GBU-16 that it could carry there. It’s also missing any glide bombs it had like KGGB and wing kit GBU-12s, as well as the AGM-65G/G-2.
While most of these aren’t in game, GBU-16 and AGM-65G are, so I have no idea why they’re missing.

But somehow instead we get Israeli missiles only fitted to F-16Bs in Thai service, less than half of the real countermeasure amount and AMRAAM that were compatible with all other Thai F-16s except the OCU.

And as if that wasn’t enough, no LAU-88 Mavericks with the inner pylon single ones, just because they assumed there is a limit. If there is a source for that I’d love to see it because right now it just seems arbitrary.

Not too bad as passed suggestion lists go.

Still waiting for the backlog to get chunked down significantly.

I honestly await the day where there is nothing top tier left to add so we can move away from leapfrogging and get started on the phase of the game which just consists of systematically filling all gaps. Plus I also just want the best and most sophisticated toys. Hopefully also get around to BR decompression.

Mechanics overhaul and bugfixes actually add a lot more reason to play and enhance already existing content, as opposed to relying on novelty and hype.

Oh no not the M3A3 BUSK.

Seeing how Gaijin handled TUSK on the SEPv2, the M3A3 BUSK will likely also just be a worse M3A3 at the same BR.

yes the Moris is just what Britain needs more memey low tier vehicles…

In the store, premium account is sold at a discount. So the promotion is today.

The Mirage 5 of the Chilean Air force were ex-belgian Mirage 5BA MirSIP conversions (basically the Belgian MLU variant of the 5BA variant of the original stripped variant of the Mirage 5).

So yeah, better. (but France also had several mirage 50 variants, which are also their own improvements anyway)

I felt Finnish mig29s are getting more likely by the day, still remembered when they terriorized 1v1 and 2v2 with their ripple fire r-77s

They fixed it, now you can buy the exact amount of GE you need:

If only this applied the same discounts instead of allowing unaware players to spend more money on less GE…

Or just cap the amount at 3740 for the same effect, since 3750GE with this option would be the same price as the 5000GE pack anyways. It’d still allow you to not overspend, but be a lot fairer from a customer side.

It uses the old original conversion rate of 151,52 GE per GJN. The discounts were originally only on Gaijin’s website, as they would then not have to pay a stipend/percentage charge to hosts like Steam, Sony or Microsoft, and thus could offer discounts instead of none.

But a cap would be a legally hard to defend one, as the law still states that Gaijin cannot ‘overcharge’, by not allowing something to be bought for exactly its price in Euros. I think the current cap of 75.000 is to allow someone to buy the highest possible ‘deal’ you could get at once (which is that russian deal some get occasionally with the 2S38, Yak-38, T-80U premium and the SU-25K).

May sale is here.

Gaijin store sales are coming later, probably next week. Also some rare packs coming but they will probably be similar to last years packs most likely.

Correct me if I’m wrong but how can a single decal be passed to devs after a whole month? Can’t there be more or is it a way more complex proccess than I think?

Yeah, and on those stores it’s already fine, but on the War Thunder store I fear that unaware players will be charged more money for less GE.

Right, I guess that is unfortunate… So the only real way is to either have the discounts applied on the store option in some way. Something like this:

Additional GE will be applied at the following price points:

24.75+ GJN → +25% GE

114+ GJN → +31% GE

Or at least issue a warning and/or popup that tells players that they selected such unfortunate values. Something like this:

You are about to purchase: 3750 GE

The purchase cost of this amount equals 24.75 GJN, equal to the 5000 GE pack. You can purchase the pack for an additional 1250 GE at no additional cost, or continue with your purchase.
