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.
There’s some rumors that they’ll test strat bombers in the 1st april event, i hope that’s the case and they end up adding such planes like they did with the helos and modern mbts.
B-52 is one of my favorite planes, i’d play with it all day regardless of being meta…
I want B-58 and B-1B. Russian supersonic bombers cool aswell
imagine a b-52 strategic bombing mission but after they hit their targets the bomber group gets intercepted by aliens or dragons or something lol
I love all bombers, o hope they add all of them specially tu160 and b1b
how bought the b47?
B-1B and Vulcan would be great to see alongside the B-52. Maybe then in the future we could get something like the B-2 or even the B-21 in the far future.
But I do hope that if added we don’t get the MS Paint cockpits. I get that it would take the devs a lot of effort to make them but proper cockpits should be a requirement for them. Failing that just some good cockpit placeholders would be ok.
Also a good candidate, I’m all for its addition ;)
I mean it’s not really a B-52 without the cockpit
Yup heard that aswell! It’s pretty exciting.
A B-52 in War Thunder would be a dream… alongside other strategic bombers for the other nations of course.
Don’t even get me started on that beauty
That one is probably the most important jet bomber ever (due to its multi engine layout)
Good looking too
Only one that could carry a2a weapons as well. It would be like 10.3 tomcat with its AIM-47 and AN/ASG-18
I thought the same about the B-17.
Also thought the same about the B-29
But yeah the B-52 absolutely should get it’s cockpit
All the engine instruments lol
YF-12A at home lol
That would require:
A) The B-58 to be added in the first place
B) Gaijin to model the AIM-47 and that single specific B-58 that was modified to carry the missiles and the radar to be added
and C) Gaijin to be silly enough to give a plane with mach 4 missiles that have 160km range such a low BR
