Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

WELCOME to the War Thunder - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion Thread!

Here you can discuss everything related to the upcoming major update, including rumors, data mines, and dev blogs.


However, please AVOID these types of discussions:

Wishlisting. Some examples:

  • “I want the F-22 next update!”
  • “Gaijin where are these vehicles!!!” <lists 10 vehicles they want in the game>

There’s a separate thread for this here

Vehicle spec discussions, such as armour, ammo, ordnance, guns, data sheets, performance. Some examples:

  • “I hope for these vehicles, they will balance the game. They have XYZ ordnance and will counter the XYZ!”
  • 2 page discussions about what type of ammo a new tank in a dev blog will get. Now this is fine for the most part since a vehicle in the dev blog is part of the next update, however it can escalate into completely other discussions so do be careful!

There’s plenty of threads for these discussions here.

Bug reports, issues, suggestions, feedback for dev-server or testing. Some examples:

  • “Abrams is missing its thermals. However that’s not meant to be as it had this historically. Smin fix this!!!”
  • “This thing is bugged on the dev server, devs please fix it!”

You can make a bug report here and suggestion here. When the dev server is up, use the DEV Server Section for feedback.

Not avoiding these example discussions will mean your post is likely to be hidden by a moderator. Any continuation after that might mean you get a warning.

You must remember that this is the most popular and active thread on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next update’s information in one place so it can be discussed amongst the community. Other discussions like outlined in the examples above can be discussed in proper forum sections. Often official Gaijin staff members will respond on this thread so do be sure to remain respectful! Otherwise they may just stop. Please also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on what may be coming. If you follow the forum rules, you’ll be okay!

Please use the Heavy Cavalry Thread to discuss the CURRENT Major Update. Complaining here won’t solve anything and is considered off-topic.


Frequently Asked Questions

Click to reveal

Q: What is this thread about?
A: This thread is exclusively about the upcoming major update and potential / confirmed content in said update.

Q: Will you add… (insert thing here)?
A: We’re not developers.

Q: Google Doc says we should have X by Y.
A: First of all, we genuinely appreciate how dedicated our community is by the fact that you track dev blogs, teasers, update drops, and past event patterns. The level of detail that goes into this is something we truly value.

The Gszabi99 Google Doc is a great example of that passion, and it’s a useful reference point for many things. However, we’ve noticed some growing tension around the idea that this document represents an official schedule or deadline. To be very clear, it does not. The developers are not bound to any timelines, predictions, or expectations listed in the Google Doc, no matter how well researched they may be.

Going forward, any comments along the lines of “Gaijin, why haven’t you done X by Y since the Google Doc says you should have” are considered your own opinion. As explained above, the developers do not operate according to unofficial community timelines, and no such document dictates the development schedule.

Q: Where did the giant list on the OP go?
A: It was severely out of date and was removed.

Q: Where did my post go?
A: Off-Topic comments will often be removed to keep this thread readable and on topic. No need to be alarmed or comment if your post disappears. If you are concerned, contact a Forum Moderator or Senior Forum Moderator privately.


Please remember to keep on-topic and respect each other.
Thank you!

Maybe you want to add a line for Sound mods :3

Whats the order of events again?

Sabre/Scimmie > Break > Soviet Battleship?

Ye, but its not in the FAQ :3

Given we saw the Hummel and Palmaria this update, I’m suspecting Arjun and Tone come September

We’re in the break right now, aren’t we? Unless I somehow misread it all.

It has nothing to do with FAQ’s of the RR topic so yeah why would it be.

wait can someone confirm this for me while im downloading is the m1a2v3 hull armour actually only 410 to ke frontally?

nvm i finished the update,

who let this update pass, how does this bug even happen what placeholder did you get the x-ray number from like i get it isn’t accurate to the in game armour but man how? it doesn’t even come from the m1a1’s or m1a2’s

secondly why is the hull fix only on the new two abrams and the m1a1

like i get gaijin is greedy so wants you to have to ge stuff and the more excuses for them to be lazy is better but man the hull is the one thing you have refused to change on the abrams since release how is the volumetric not on all of them it for the first time is a literally perfect opportunity to copy paste, but i guess it isnt a premium so low priority.
