Thanks mate, have a good one!

@Smin1080p_WT just asking is there plans to fix sweep wing aircraft? on a lot of them if you use the auto mode for them whey will move to slow so you will get a reduce speed warning when going fast.

also will you guys give us manual MTI for the Mig-23,s/25…

True, but it’s genuinely annoying and, at worst, disheartening to see posts like these repeatedly get dozens of upvotes, sometimes even hundreds, within just a few hours of an BeNeLux announcement. This has happened plenty of times in the past, and these examples are just a few of the recent ones: 1 2 3.

Its best to report it if its something that shouldn’t be happening. Im not aware of any reports, so cant check the status without a link.

No plans, as current evidence has shown it isn’t a manual mode.

November

War Thunder’s birthday celebrations will continue from October into November as you may expect! However, that’s not everything we have planned, as we also have plans for another event. This event is one that we ran last year and can be seen as a little “extra” event that will start at the beginning of mid-November.

Here 's the article for the event they ran last november parallel to DCT, if it wasn’t immediately clear:

Unfortunately its a bit expected at this stage. We always welcome feedback on any additions, BeNeLux / France included. We listened to many of the constructive complaints at the start of the year and naturally have plans for future domestic French vehicles as well as BeNeLux too.

The examples you linked here for example are sadly a bit down to things being taken a bit to far with the BeNeLux memes where its basically become a free upvote to attack it.

The first example you linked here is also a very strange conclusion. As the PTRL is an actual unique Dutch SPAA and fills a gap and offers something cool. It has not come “instead of” an AMX-10RC or even remotely a replacement for one. The same could basically be done for any addition in any major update and go “instead of X, wouldn’t it be great to get Y?”. When X didn’t prevent Y, which may well come in the future. X was simply planned for now and coming now.

Other reports have recently already received a developer response: Community Bug Reporting System

So its likely this one will too.

Could you link those links I can’t access them

They are from the dev server section at the time. So the links no longer work. You commented yourself on it several times.

Yeah iirc he link to the thread that I made of armaments it should have you don’t happen to have the screen shots to those?

Also didn’t that have more than one poll as well?

Hope the F-104 gets drop tanks soon

It suggests a TT F-14D with several options presented. The F-14D(R) was not even the first suggestion:

Again, the title topic and general sentiment was a TT F-14D. You can see this from not just this one topic (which was the largest), but most other topics on Reddit, Website comments and other platforms too. Which is why we added it.

The calls for the F-14D(R) more specifically came later. Again, it would offer no difference from the current F-14D (VF-11) as its armaments would be the same in game.

No, it was just for a TT F-14D.

Jagdpanther with autoloader which was leaked a while back.

Thank you for saying all that. Whenever I see posts like those, I worry that Gaijin might eventually become hesitant to add more Benelux vehicles because of how vocal some people are about disliking them. Public opinion can influence development decisions, after all.

Honestly, your response has genuinely put me at ease and helped lift some of that dread I often feel whenever these discussions come up. It’s reassuring to see that gaijin still wants to support benelux additions along side french ones, and while it would be really nice if more domestic vehicles like the dutch m39. I just also hope Gaijin will also continues adding Dutch vehicles that many consider copy-paste additions like the PzH 2000NL and the Leopard 1V, eventhough the latter has an domestic upgrade with its own fire-control system and L64A4 ammunition.

I’m thinking it’s going to be the WW1 event re-run. Fits in perfectly for mid-November since that’s when Remembrance Day is.

Plus they did use the loading screen from that event in the post so I’m copeful we’ll see that event come back. (Extra cope for some more rewards too like the Zeppelin and the planes to keep).

You’d need to provide enough copium to fill up that whole zeppelin before that thing is even remotely close to becoming a regular vehicle

(Also drop tanks for the Sabres, Harriers, P-51s etc.)
