Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

God I hope this game turns out good. I hope we see features get brought over from Aces of Thunder into War Thunder like these new single player missions or the WW1 aircraft. It seems like such a waste for them to be restricted to AoT.

@Smin1080p_WT since it is seemingly completly possible for the the F-16A’s to get new armaments and therefore go up in BR i have a serious question since we clashed on this topic before. why wasnt it possible for the F-4F to get 9L’s, the F-14A to get 9L’s and the F-14B to get 9M’s (all historical loadouts too) and move up in BR. Could i get an answer from the Devs for that? ‘‘Dont need them’’ doesnt cut it, since i’ve been flying the ADF’s since release and they DONT need AMRAAMs eigter. im very curious…

Can they NOT be something unique locked behind a paywall again?
Like in a sense where grinding for something is actually rewarding?
Please pretty please?

On that note i would also like to bring up none of the early MiG-29s having R-73. They should get those and move to 13.0

While we are at it, bring back the good FM that was closer to reallife performance then the one we have right now. (Note on that every mig29 fm report either gets ignored or labeld as not a bug) funny how things work

yes, strong agreed!

Because Gaijin is still living in 2022 and thinks the F-14s are overpowered with trash bomber missiles and artificially limited avionics/armament. Realistically, all the F-14s shouldn’t have to move up to receive these missiles. Especially the A.

The F14 would Still be fine at 12.3 even with 9Ls

The next logical step in each line for US aircraft would probably go as follows:

  • F-16C Block 50 → F-16C Block 50+ PoBIT
  • F-15C MSIP-II → F-15C Late or F-15EX
  • F/A-18C Late → F/A-18E Super Hornet
  • AV-8B Plus → F/A-18D USMC, EA-18G Growler, or F-35B
  • F-15E → F-15E RMP or F-15EX

Explanations:

F-16C Block 50+ PoBIT - Essentially the US’s F-16V Block 70 equivalent. However, since the USAF does not field Block 70s at the moment, and they have already been upgrading Block 40/42/50/52s under PoBIT, that’s what I would expect Gaijin to add for the US tree.

F-15C Late or F-15EX - In all honesty, both vehicles work here. It mostly depends on which vehicle will come after the F-15E. If Gaijin plans on adding modern heavy bombers, we could see the F-15E line transition away from fighter-bombers, while the F-15C line remains the air superiority line. If that’s the case, the EX would go after the C. However, the question I have is whether they’d do a F-15C Late at all, or add it later in some other way.

F/A-18E Super Hornet - Self-explanatory

F/A-18D USMC, EA-18G Growler, or F-35B - There are many things Gaijin could do with this line. The F/A-18D would essentially be a useless addition, especially since they’re changing SP costs in GRB. The EA-18G Growler, on the other hand, would be amazing for whenever Gaijin adds EW. And finally, if neither the 18D or 18G get added, the F-35B would be the obvious choice for this line since it has VTOL capabilities.

F-15E RMP or F-15EX - Like I said earlier, the F-15E line could turn into heavy bombers. However, if it doesn’t, we could see upgraded F-15Es. The F-15E RMP would just add the AN/APG-82(V)1 while keeping the 8x missile loadout. I hope Gaijin does not waste our time and RP with the RMP and just goes straight to the F-15EX. The EX is basically the RMP but an actual warranted upgrade – not just another 420k RP and 3 million SL to throw away for a radar upgrade.

@Smin1080p_WT Do we get any news on this weak?

He’s asleep my man, though the 19th and 22nd seems highly likely dates for the start of the devblog season
