Just 1 and done with South Africa air. Unless they do decide on the Cheetah, Mirage’s or even the Mwari but chances are like India the C&P will be in the TT but unique designs as premiums / event vehicles.

Will they be adding in Meteor’s, IRIS-T and other capable missiles for Rank 9?
They will in the future but I don’t think those will come along with Rank 9 next update. More likely those missiles will come in the summer update.

They likely are going to be adding AIM-120Ds, AIM-9Xs, R-74s/R-74Ms, R-77Ms (edit: probably not a R-77M, as I just remembered how questionable that one currently is lol, dunno if the R-37M could even be considered a counterpart to the AIM-120D tho) and whatever Chinese missiles that would be equivalent at some point this year, but I don’t think the first update this year will include those
Later on they’ll add the Meteors, IRIS-Ts and the other state-of-the-art missiles
(Or they just go for the best stuff that is being used IRL from the get-go without proper balance lol)
PL-10, 15 and maybe PL-17 if they wanted, since its in datamine for the J-11B iirc, the 10 and 17 were
the F-117?

Do you all think that concepts like J-35 J-36 J-50 will end up in the 9th rank? Also, regarding Rank 9, how do you think they will implement autonomous wingmen style aircraft? Will we be able to fly multi-role drones, and will they give them the same G-force penalties as manned aircraft?
imo what would be better is the premium one being base su-30mki (su-30k, basically a two seat su-27 with spo-15 and only r-27ers, no fox 3s), and the tech tree one su-30mki in the modern configuration with it basically being a copy paste of the su-30sm and mkm but with some israeli and french avionics like mica, derby, etc
this image makes the difference between the 2 obvious, with the blue one being su-30k (notice no canards and spo-15 antenna) and the grey one being the modern mki

Could even squeeze in a MiG-35 before the MKI in rank 9, since India did test two examples

you would have my SOUL gaijin!
Wait… is that a French Su-30?
PL-15’s and AAM-5B’s are looooong overdue.
Nevermind… It’s India… XD
The flag looked French…
So now that Australia Day is essentially over and as is customary for War Thunder to do something after it has ended in our own time zone, are we going to get a little thing for Australia Day in game?

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
With the new BR changes introducing rank 9, France will be the only nation unable to grind their top tier aircrafts with a premium vehicle.
Are there any plans to introduce a rank 8 premium for France ?
