The EX going to 5th line would also be better for the tree because it would allow a proper filling of 5th line, especially if we consider the possibility of several advanced eagles variants. And gameplay-wise, it would be the best high-tier attacker of the tree.
F-22s are enough for second line, I mean the early ones would literally have 2xAIM-9M and 4xAIM-120B so the gap wouldn’t be significant
It isn’t actually, the M1A2T a SEPv2 ish turret (with the export armor package) mated with iirc an M1A1 hull.
the SEPv3 has a new armor package in both the hull and turret, the difference in the turret cheeks is very visible.
But I really hope Gaijin goes for the Challenger 3 prototype, that thing looks cool.

Ah, right, makes sense that the export/FMS armour package wouldn’t be as good as the actual SEPv3 armour
Dunno about the hull, from what I can tell it’s a upgraded M1A2 hull (at least based on what I can read online, can’t really tell from pictures lol)

Okay, thanks for the info. I have another question. Are there any updates on LDIRCM on helicopters? It’s EXTREMELY frustrating trying to kill a hovering top tier helicopter that has LDIRCM and cant be killed by ARH missiles while hovering. The LDRICM cant be overwhelmed, has 0 blind spots and somehow disables all missiles IOG and DL. This has been broken for over 6 months, please tell me there are fixes coming to nerf LDIRCM and give rotor blades a radar signature. I cant take more of this 16 fnf helicopter spam bs

“Just play the USSR tree and use the Pantsir, lol”
“Just spawn a plane, lol”
Yeah, the addition of those long range FnF missiles was a huge mistake, especially without working on the problems that make helis so much harder to kill than planes at those ranges
Just take a look at this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gaYwfr62Zw
At around 2 minutes the LDIRCM literally noclips through the whole body and blinds a SPICE bomb above the helicopter. Total bs. This needs to be fixed ASAP. 3 kd helicopters with no counters shouldnt be in the game.

Apologies if either of these were asked recently, but is there any update on (1) tandem warheads not working or (2) manual missile reloads ignoring crew skill or crew knockouts? It’s been about a year for both with no news

It can be, there are many vehicles in the techtrees that weren’t completed. I think it should be in the techtree, because China is lacking unique options at those BRs.
But I agree being premium is still better than being an event, at least that way players will reliably have a way to get it without relying on market prices that will be far too high after a few years.

Depending on when your matches were played and if the forum shows your recent history correct then i don’t think that will be an issue unless you’re going to be gone for quite a while:

I also remind you that no one is stopping you from making a folder with two cars at once. So I think we’ll stop at rank 9, although rank 10 sounds like a final rank or something. anniversary) Well, who knows, maybe they’ll introduce rank 10, but I don’t remember seeing two ranks added in one year, and according to leaks, we’ll see the 5th generation this year (most likely by the end).
It’ll take a while for Gaijin to add enough new top tier planes to fill rank 9
To be honest, I don’t think a 10th rank would make sense with how few newer planes are left to be added for most nations (unless they start adding 6th gens lol)
what they’d probably do is when 5th gens are added they would go in rank X
gen 4.5’s and that in rank 9
gen 4s in 8, then the status quo for what’s below
Way down the line maybe. The rank system doesn’t really exist to seperate tech generations or eras, the ranks are just a way to slow down progression by making people research multiple columns instead of just one
Hmmmm… I hope I will be home in 7 days tops. So I hope I had played enough before leaving!
Hopefully they keep it to rank 9 since going to rank 10 will make all the rank 8 premiums useless for grinding like how all the rank 7 premiums will now be useless which are arguably the better choice for grinding.

Well, I can say this. If they start making premium rank 9 fighters, it will most likely mean that they have plans to make rank 10 fighters
Could I suggest trying out GeForce Now? You can play the pc version of War Thunder on your phone this way, queue times are kind of long though
@Smin1080p_WT What is being done about the constant packet loss on the game servers for the past 3 days? For context I only play US servers, and I know it’s been going on for the last 3 days because everyone in the lobby complains every time it occurs.
This screenshot just occurred 3 minutes ago
They probably will do that and with how heavy the penalty is for researching outside of the efficiency limit it’s a scummy thing to do. Charge £60 - £70 for a premium to grind out a tech tree only for them to be invalidated soon after and forcing you to buy the next rank of premiums in order to not spend ages on the grind.
They need to rework the efficiency penalties but Gaijin being Gaijin they just want peoples money. a 60% penalty is absurd for being 1 rank over.
I’m mad now that if I want to actually be able to get the next lot of aircraft in a reasonable time I have to buy rank 8 premiums and play at an awful BR.
