Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

No image yet sorry

WELCOME to the War Thunder - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion Thread!

Here you can discuss everything related to the upcoming major update, including rumors, data mines, and dev blogs.


However, please AVOID these types of discussions:

Wishlisting. Some examples:

  • “I want the F-22 next update!”
  • “Gaijin where are these vehicles!!!” <lists 10 vehicles they want in the game>

There’s a separate thread for this here

Vehicle spec discussions, such as armour, ammo, ordnance, guns, data sheets, performance. Some examples:

  • “I hope for these vehicles, they will balance the game. They have XYZ ordnance and will counter the XYZ!”
  • 2 page discussions about what type of ammo a new tank in a dev blog will get. Now this is fine for the most part since a vehicle in the dev blog is part of the next update, however it can escalate into completely other discussions so do be careful!

There’s plenty of threads for these discussions here.

Bug reports, issues, suggestions, feedback for dev-server or testing. Some examples:

  • “Abrams is missing its thermals. However that’s not meant to be as it had this historically. Smin fix this!!!”
  • “This thing is bugged on the dev server, devs please fix it!”

You can make a bug report here and suggestion here. When the dev server is up, use the DEV Server Section for feedback.

Not avoiding these example discussions will mean your post is likely to be hidden by a moderator. Any continuation after that might mean you get a warning.

You must remember that this is the most popular and active thread on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next update’s information in one place so it can be discussed amongst the community. Other discussions like outlined in the examples above can be discussed in proper forum sections. Often official Gaijin staff members will respond on this thread so do be sure to remain respectful! Otherwise they may just stop. Please also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on what may be coming. If you follow the forum rules, you’ll be okay!

Please use the Spearhead Thread to discuss the CURRENT Major Update. Complaining here won’t solve anything and is considered off-topic.

ah the update news are already here!

Live though “loading” on the game modes is… ouch xD

Now to decide what i grind and how, would a rank III premium be superior to a tt rank IV to get the mb 326k i wonder (rank V)

Game modes just aren’t loading at all for me. It seems to be broken. This is painful since I haven’t finished the last task for XF5U.
@Smin1080p_WT is there a problem with loading game modes after the update that devs are aware of?

Edit: It loaded after 10-15min.

So basically Dec update will, copy paste or not add at least one ESA jet to each nation. US already has one, might still get a 16V or sth
UK might get ESA EF? IDK
USSR already has one but SU35?
Japan already has F-2
Germany same as UK
China could either get J10B/C, or a copy and paste J-11B with AESA, loads of options though
Italy same with EF
France has Rafale
Sweden 39NG/E?
IDK about Israel.

goofy aah moment from gaijin again xD

tho im dissapointed again - literal 3 squads of clones arrived. 3 AH64Es, 2 jh7s copies, another mosquito and copy-paste oplot which should be different, and again its “tender” model which wasnt exactly bought by Pakistan, but no Centauro and Freccia for USSR.

And i`ll be using my good ol Challenger 1 to grind Chieftain 900)

also can someone look up if we can use taiwan flag for chinese tech tree?

Cant as far as i see.

Yeah, my guess is

UK + ITA + GER = Eurofighter ESA
China - J-10B/C or J-11B (L)
Sweden - JAS39NG / E

USSR has two PESA, USA has F-15C GE, JPN has 2 AESA (F-2 + ADTW), France has Rafale, Israel has the Kfir C.10. For a top tier AESA for ISR, it’d likely be a Greek Rafale when the subtree comes.
