BvvD announced it iirc, either that or from a community manager disclosure

you know the SEAD test and more recently the strategic bombing test with the F-4’s and AH-1F vs. MiG-21? that was testing for the Aerial Warfare mode

neat so basically air EC

Probably more casual and asymmetrical, hopefully with an attacker/defender dynamic

that was for World war mode if I recall correctly

For me, around the first quarter of 2026

Gajin ready ARMs from 60’s ~ early 90’s ?

Or gajin ready the first fighter aircraft pre-order pack rank 9 in the second major update 2026 ?

Domestic ROKAF supersonic light combat aircraft & light multirole fighter

North Korea’s upgraded MiG-29 and SU-25 is also interesting including their to domestic prop aircraft.

Just a reminder that this is one of the reasons why Gaijin has picked Indonesia for Japan since they can give Japan two more 5th gen fighter options. Though the sales of these fighters aren’t final but to gaijin a country only needs to sniff at them is enough lol

F-35 (Japan)
KF-21 (Indonesia)
KAAN (Indonesia)

Will the F18E get its BOL pods and MAW (additionally for all current US aircraft which have it irl)? Is there a reason for this oversight in the previous patch(es)? USA BOL and MAW systems wouldn’t change the meta, what is going on here? Will we need to wait for the next major patch? It has been several patches now waiting for F15 MAW.

I hope there will be some cosmetic/customisation rewards for this CBT, always nice to get a title or profile image

Which maw systems did those US aircraft have?

Only two I’m aware of having maw is the F-22 and F-35.

We wait for Polish tech tree

KAAN is pretty much not happening, Turkey want f-35 and engine are blocked for KAAN, so by the time it ever exist even war thunder will be putting 6th gen aircraft in the game.

KF-21 remains somewhat doubtful surprisingly enough.
