Are we going to see them this year or perhaps in two years. Can we get a more precise answer then we are working on it. Please no more jets added. its gone beyond parody levels at this point. My problem is gaijin answers like a politican now vague about when it will committ to trying fix a problem they knowingly made. Like its in the DEV SERVER and we are wortking on it means what this second yearly update the last one what ? Shouldnt ground in ground RB at least on parody with air units. I get jets are going to be a part of ground. I have no problem getting killed by air ocassionally. I do have a problem with air being so far more advance that most spaa in the game. That 1 death leavers are now common place in top tier. That and its also very hard to grind or justify losing very costly to repairs tanks . Jets simply have to dive down to the ground go super sonic and they are high untouchable or go outside of the effective radar enevelopy of the spaa.
Yeah is just the SEAD event not when it will be added to ground RB.
Also the system from the event is something like a 70 year old system that is out of date I dont see what good it will be against top tier jets.,
The Upcoming Major Update
"…In December’s Q&A, we also spoke about more advanced SAM system vehicles at top tier for ground forces coming in 2025. The next major update will see several of these new systems come to the game for several nations at once.
The dev blog season will be beginning in the coming weeks, so be sure to check out everything we’ve got lined up there."
There is a picture of atleast one of the multi vehicle SAM, one of them is the IRIS-T SLS
They already had the first update of the year nothing. So what is the major update the last one what. Its very very vague
The Next Major Update, so they’re talking about the one in Late May, Early June
Great european nations and likely russia get a heavy sam when will japan which has been ignored. And technially has a heavy sam in game that has been knee capped
Japan? Whats that?
I couldve of sworn it was a nation in war thunder now Im not sure
These community updates are usually truthful in what theyre working on but of course,
“Disclaimer: While we’re excited to be able to share work-in-progress information before dev blogs, the dev server and the full release, please bear in mind that new features, vehicles and maps mentioned in this news are subject to change, be delayed or be canceled. War Thunder is constantly being developed, and as with all game development, unexpected delays or other unforeseen circumstances may occur. Thank you for your interest!”
How do you kill a heavy same got to kill both the launcher and radar or what ?
Yeah truthfully vague and obtuse . These shouldve of been done a update or two before hornets sting.
Jokes aside, yeah I hope Japan gets a better SAM. The Type 81c is actually quite effective since its fire and forget but the range and lack of radar knee caps it.
Atleast Japan is probably getting a new jet (No F-2 because its Japan )))))
Heavy SAM? As in something like a S-75, S-300 or Patriot?
Usually you have to destroy the fire control unit and it disables the whole thing.
Some systems have independent fire control systems though, like Buk
I doubt we’ll get any player controlled systems like S-300, Patriot or S-75.
We’re more likely to get more mobile SAM systems instead, with a seperate and movable launcher and radar like the IRIS-T SLS and other similar systems
Something like Buk I feel is on the edge of what I think will be player controlled, they could have the launcher and radar vehicle be a seperate vehicle like how you could switch between a drone and light tank. But one can only guess right now
yeah maybe fix japans top tier sam lol
You know what I love about japans totp tier sam it cant even lock with its heat seeker a helicopter simply sitting on helicopter spawn
It actually locks pretty far, but clouds and simply having terrain in the background behind the target is enough to disrupt the lock range, yeah
The Type 81 with the ARH missile is a possibility this year depending on how they will do the multi vehicle SAM’s. A bit more range and its still FNF which is nice. But one can only dream
