Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

For my sanity i’m going to assume this is a joke.

Honestly if it was added when the AJ was, yeah it might’ve been a little overpowered, but not really more so then other stuff gaijin has added, and by now it’s just simply way past due. At most we should’ve had it around with the F-15As

Which one are you referring to, the K or the SG?

F-15SG, K is totally Korean operated afaik. I mean maybe there was a Boeing one, but i have 0 proof and it’s just speculation

Alr, tho tbh with how it’s going my guess is Gaijin will race to the top and once we’ll hit the late gen only then we’ll start to see more specific variants like this
I expect the F-15EX and maybe even some gen 5 to come before strike eagle variants

Sad but could be true. Unless new F-15’s come next update they won’t be able to fill out the main F-15 variants before December

Oh no, gaijin adding a sub jet over a domestic jet. This is why I say to people don’t expect the expected when it comes to gaijin.

As other’s have already said they said a jet for Japan, they didn’t state if it was domestic, C&P or a home grown design. For all we know it could be a tested F-14 as a squadron, since gaijin did that for Sweden variety reasons. Personally I feel it could be a jet from any Asean nations to fill a role that the Thai jets missed out.

Anyway info on the F-14 test

Tbh I don’t think F-15 variants are what’s most needed atm, imo what we truly need is stuff like AESA F-16, Mig-29KR or Mig-35, a Rafale F1…
And obviously the lower tier stuff missing like a tech tree intruder

I don’t see anything about Japanese pilots ever actually flying it. And if they did it was in a USN Tomcat regardless

3 out of the 4 pictures in the suggestion are just USN things

The suggestion outright lies as well

The Swedish tested the T-80 and that was Russian regardless, they didn’t adopt it into their ranks but in game it’s here. So no just because they didn’t use it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have a chance of coming.

Plus as already said previously War thunder isn’t a historical game

Suggester lied as well, the F-14 gun kill on F-15 was not part of a sales campaign. It was ACEVAL/AIMVAL

So because the Japanese took a long hard look at the F-14, they should get it?

The Swedish taken a hard look at the T-80, MI and the AHS, now it’s in their tree.

So no Swedish personnel actually drove/flew them during testing? And were they company vehicles or shown off by Russian/US govt.

Also, so far it seems that it is pretty limited to Sweden for some reason if they didn’t actually test them at all.

The new jet for Japan is just gonna be the return of the R2Y2. They wont even have to spend the resources to reskin an existing vehicle when they can just re-enable it. Finally Gaijin will be able to hit lows they’ve only dreamed of hitting.

Lol, or worse a C&P Sabre kekw

Seriously, Quartas121, with all due respect — but why do you constantly talk down on what Japan or any other nation can’t or shouldn’t have, when you literally only ever play America ? It’s getting ridiculous. You’re acting like the gatekeeper for every other nation while never stepping outside your own comfort zone. Maybe try actually playing something other than the U.S. before making sweeping claims about what other nations are allowed to do.

Oh so they did train crew on it, nice

I don’t ask for Gripen or Tornado in USA, so why do Japan players ask for F-14 in Japan, and Brit players ask for hornets in the UK?

But you ask for 15 other F-15’s because US = large, while other nations have no hope to catch up under your rules
