Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Just ban strike and bomber aircraft entirely

Too simple, as soon as they are about to finally get a base fling them into the ground and say it was a connection error or high packet loss. And make sure they get the full 10 minute crew lock too to rub salt in the wound.

honestly that strike aircraft should get priority when bombing bases no fighters

srike/bomber aircraft should be rewarded more for doing their jobs and at the same time they need to add more variety to the targets to arb and just increase the amount of them in generally.

also on a semi related note i do wish that people particularly premium aircraft would stop nosing down and crashing into the ground right after they bomb a base, its happened enough times now that i know its being done on purpose so they need to honestly figure out a way to introduce maneuver kills as that would solve the problem real quick.

I wonder if the devs just never encountered this while testing the ordnance destruction killfeed thing or if they legitimately thought this couldn’t happen
Don’t have the energy to make a bugreport for this tho lol

Where IRIS-T HYDEF?

im hoping for CAMM-MR but still waiting to see where it goes, at least back in September it was still being shown off as something being worked on

if it does should be the equal to the HYDEF with a 100km+ range


One day (cope)

Considering that the AGM-179-MR isn’t even planned to enter service until ~2030-2035, and yet its appeared in other trees, or that 20mm DM63 for the XM800T, or the fact that the KVT has an 105mm instead of the 120 it’s supposed to have for example, service ammo doesn’t at all factor into what is implemented.

" Different to the real one, the M1 KVT in War Thunder was modified from M1 Abrams instead of M1A1."

And as gaijin has said M829A3 is no improvement over -A2 since the ERA bypass mechanic will not be implemented

Answering your concerns regarding spall liners, MBTs and Aircraft

“The first consideration is the addition of a new M829A3 shell which we’ve also seen requests and suggestions for. We’ve discussed this option, but the addition of this shell in comparison with the M829A2 will not enhance the Abrams capability against top-tier vehicles that are equipped with modern armor and built-in ERA systems. We’re still considering the possibility of adding the M829A3 shell, but as a first change, we’re going to increase the rate of fire of first-stage ammo from 6 to 5 seconds per shot on an Ace level crew, which’ll make the Abrams more effective against all opponents.”

Is the F-2 not somehow an F-16 derivative? Sure it might have had more significant work done but does that truly make it a “new” airframe?

Still waiting by the way. It’s been a year and 4 months, still not fixed.

Nah its okay, warthunder aircraft are immune to that, the number of times ive been saved by the snail mechanics applying anti self explosive damage to weapons on my vehicle that explode is pretty crazy. Had a Fab5000 do nothing to my PE8 earlier. This is just an example of standard warthunder gameplay. Landing without landing gear for a faster method of slowing down.

Thinking about fuel tanks, will they ever turn those fuel tanks that the bombs attach to on the Mirage 5 and Milan into actual fuel tanks?

Probably not, been waitingbyears for the wing tip tanks on the A21’s to get their napalm ability, just imagine the flight performance boost from dropping that excess weight. Wounds like 12.0 material to me

Really! I’ll trade the 15E speed for an Eye of Sauron in my nose any day! Sure I’d take the EX over the GE…but we ain’t there yet.
