Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I’ve been saying it for a while now, an early F-22 wouldn’t even be a unreasonable addition since the Typhoons and Rafale were added

why do you use when?

thats an IF you need to use there, and a Very Very Careful one even

Yes I KNOW but the F-14D should’ve been in game already especially if they plan on adding the F-22A/other 5 gen jets

figured i’d remind you before you keep your hopes up

Never get your hopes up for something you want in WT

Gaijin always finds a way to disappoint

Because the Challenger 3 EPSOM was passed instead: RBSL Challenger 3 EPSOM - Now with modular armour strapped on!

There is no need to pass two almost identical suggestions in the same month. The German suggestion being passed is not some magical barrier that blocks all knowledge of the existence of the British one. Its simply not necessary to pass both at once.

I mean like previous additions via the DCT event have been stuff like the TOG, Sturmmörser, KV-7, and recently XF-5U, Solidly not meta making and otherwise just a bit goofy. the SU-47 feels like it’ll get some “assistance” if ya get me

unless its russian

then it goes to 10.7 just because thats low enough to make it OP with the Carefully Engineered bugs to make it usable at all

except its worse at TVC than IRIS and worse at range than ASRAAM

There’s no way it has worse range than ashram. Normal mica em has 100km range, while the longest range figure for asraam I’ve seen was 50km. And mica ir shouldn’t have too much less range compared to mica em, I’m expecting something similar to r27et vs r27er

I wasn’t talking about the F-14D?

I was talking about the SU-47 give it’s pretty much just a demonstrator that is fairly popular would just about fit the idea of the DCT event. The F-14D could easily be SQN or TT

Iris t has worse maneuverability than 9x. (In game currently)
I’m not expecting it to be all that good

These are unfinished prototypes, not just demonstrators.

At least in a War Thunder context, the difference is that a prototype leads up to a planned production variant, while a demonstrator is a standalone thing. So for the prototype it may be added as intended with planned armament, while a demonstrator depends on if it was actually armed (Or if it could be armed? I don’t know anymore…)

For an example I could think of, the ATD-X was a technology demonstrator, and purely unarmed. While it was used for 5th gen F-X testing it doesn’t count as a prototype and wouldn’t be added.

ATD-X - Unarmed Demonstrator

But 5th gen F-X itself had notable progress towards an actual production variant, such as engines, TVC, radar, weapons bays, a fuselage secotion and more, so this might be considered an unfinished prototype.

5th gen F-X - Unfinished prototype of armed production aircraft

Worse at range doesn’t mean better Top range

in a Headon fight the missile that Gets there Faster wins

and Mica isnt gonna do that, its booster does 100km yes but the seeker wont and the Impulse of the Booster isnt good enough for the short ranges well use it at in game

ASRAAM will outspeed it for the time it matters

IRIS wont, but IRIS can reliably hit you from angles the MICA cant achieve at all
