Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion (Part 1)

[Aidar_20_qe]

DHL delivery to Germany before war thunder major update?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Germany never ordered Bs and Cs lol

Britain, Italy and Japan have Bs and the USA has Bs and Cs, the other trees would only get As

Oh, and Israel would get the F-35I, rather than the A

[KhorneFlakez1337]

I’m always jealous of MBTs and light tanks that get HE-VT or that HEAT MP shell.

It’s so fun to slap aircraft with those shells lol

@TheElite96

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A: It was severely out of date and was removed.

This is very off topic, but what is the OP and what purpose did it had?

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 series of threads on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next updates’ 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. Occasionally, Gaijin staff members (such as Community Managers) may 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 Sky Odyssey 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!

this is the OP

It’s the “Original Post”, the first post of the thread

@Smin1080p_WT new Nuclear Escalation gamemode RP earnings too small, not equal to Air RB. I like this gamemode. Any plan to increase RP earnings for this mode in October major update?

Also what if you place Tank and Anti Air players on this map too?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

@Aidar_20_qe

They really should increase the rewards in general. the rewards currently seem to be balanced around nukes. I know the mode is called Nuclear Escalation, but having almost everything revolve around nukes makes the mode feel very shallow.

Unless you are spamming nukes, you aren’t really doing anything impactful…

@Aidar_20_qe

Also what if you place Tank and Anti Air players on this map too?

How exactly would that work? What would these players even do?

[Aidar_20_qe]

@KhorneFlakez1337

They would play same way as they do in Ground Realistic Battles. But probably they need more Anti Air bots to cover them. Yeah, that would cause some balance issues

[KhorneFlakez1337]

There is no way to balance that, the entire playfield would get erased by a single nuke

[Pipimer]

Also arent the rest of leopards missing DM12A2?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Yeah, they only have DM12A1 in-game

Welcome to the Leo gang, you’ll get used to it :)

[Smin1080p_WT]

No ETA currently.

Hello! I hate doing this and I’m sorry if it comes accross as annoying, but it’s been 16 days since I made this bug report during the Dev Server, and yet, the vehicle was implemented with this error and nothing has been done yet even after release.

Could you please take a look and forward this report?
( Community Bug Reporting System )

(And, while we are at it, this is not so important as it’s only cosmetic, but it would still be nice and quick, like SA (AIM)'s change back in the day): Community Bug Reporting System )

Sorry for the inconvenience! I wouldn’t ask you if it weren’t because, unless asking directly, sometimes reports may rot for months or years.

Sabra is goated at 10.0 with HE-TF and target tracking.

[TheDidact99]

Imo the most worth tank of the entire israeli TT, just fantastic to play it, a better AMBT even but i’m not too sure on that
