Next Major Update "Sky Odyssey" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Escalation is EC 2.0 where you capture opponent’s positions but it does not show a huge line in the UI

It also has the convoy mechanic, frontier mechanic (that does not feel two Napoleonic armies engaging in rifle duels) and AI actually destroying each other

thank you for the reply

btw a while back you said you would take a look at my Cv90mk4 ammo bug report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/vjnmMw573FCg

did you have the time now to take a look?

I wonder if we will ever see the Harrier GR9A or the Harrier GR5 as an event plane with 9Ls at 10.7 for ground and like 11.7 for air

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
Could you please let me know if this bug report has been forwarded and accepted? It is a very annoying bug and makes the game more difficult when not using cyclical switching.

Both would fit pretty well IMO to fill out the end of the 4th line.

I reckon we might see the GR.9 coming with ASRAAM to cap off that line and then yeah GR.5 with 9L. Would then have the succession of the Harrier 2’s from 9L → 9M → ASRAAM.

Or could like you said have the GR.5 as an event vehicle but substitute it with maybe the T.12 so there’s finally a TT twin seat Harrier.

as much as I would love the Gr5 to be a tech tree plane it is very similar to the Gr7 we already have in game, still carrying LGBs and possibly mavs but lacks the MAWS, they could also remove BOL for balance if that is a concern but I think it would fit pretty well into BR 11.0 in GRB with 9Ls and MAVs

Red arrows go brrrrrrrrrrt

we could also see them with up to 18 brimstones since the Harrier Gr9 was a test platform for the brimstone 1s but im pretty sure it only ever tested the dual mode brimstones and not the tri-mode with SAL

How long do they plan to keep flying Hawks btw?

I think they reduced the numbers from 9 to 7 iirc but part from that I’m not sure

Damn, at that rate Finlands gonna be the only one in 2040 still flying them.

Wonder if the UK will get old EFTs for airshows eventually, would be pretty cool to see

Ah 2030 seems to be the date, so if I want to see them at a display kinda need to do it in the next 3 years

Get to it, other than that you better go to Finland when they fly since they don’t plan to stop until mid 2037ish with a chance for another upgrade to extend their service life. This poor hawks lmao

I await a EFT airshow team like the red hawks until then

Quite a weird way to immediately concede your point.

Well I saw them twice this year already lol

One at EMA you just saw and another when they were taking off from EMA again but caught them in flight from Radbourne

Concidering they are looking for a replacer for their trainers then. a few more years prob?

T-7 in red arrows paintjob would be hot. And im totaly not biased in wanting them to pick the T-7

also concidering BAE is partner to the T-7 pitch maybe?

Lol, if we call another decade a few more years with talks about potential re-evaluation of the airframes in 2030 then not likely

Don’t RAF Cosford have a couple of Hawks now on display ?
