this i agree with, many russian support/against russian bias stuff is very hated in the community(including the subreddit) and often gets shadowed just because it doesnt fit the ideology of russia being op/handheld/broken
even if proved wrong with stats

Didn’t he said to me that it’a not ok for America to get counter while Russia get’s nothing.
Even though I was just pointing out that it’s kinda dumb to buff a plane for only to get a more powerful one in the same update for Russia.

So no total limit like what we had in the old forum?
like what lol
ammo chance explosions? same
spall? is there, game damage camera only shows relevant spall(next to none)
era? relikt was made to destabilize apfsds

Being fitted HMS with a was at least proposed (alongside the AIM-95, and a variety of other ordnance) for the F-16, so if need be I don’t nee why they couldn’t receive them considering the lengths they have gone to for the Yak-141 for get planned features, let alone being armed.
Yak-141 was a prototype.
F-16 is a production vehicle & has its production equipment.
We’re also within F-16C Block 50 BRs now.
Just not with AMRAAMs until… 12.3/12.7.
And we already have one MLU.
There was a spat of 200+ off topic posts.
Blatant wishlisting, flame wars, political commentary including the russian-ukranian war.
Seeing as it’s not 1. My job to moderate or 2. Within my ability as there is a report limit per day why don’t the mods do some deleting?

Funny because if my guesses are correct about Turkey, they also used F-16C.
go look for it yourself in the old forums, i was blessed with the fact you stayed forum inactive in the most recent time, but out of my head, launch state pantsir and Ka 50 vikhers prenerf
and just saying there already is ammo in the game that is lacking their anti era property
nothing spam on this post no reason to flag it as spam

I’ve seen some wishlisting but that’s about it.
I’ve mostly seen people predicting 12.0 & 12.3 aircraft based on information we know.
And it’s possible next update adds 12.3, it’s possible we get sub-tree & 12.3, it’s possible we only get sub-tree. It’s possible we get French coastal.
All of these are possibilities, and all of these we can murmur about.
@Deathmisser
Indian vehicles are closer than Turkey’s, and Italy’s sub-tree is closer than both.
The decision to make Turkey a dedicated tech tree would’ve occurred this year, which is still planning phase.
And next year would be the predicted next tech tree since we got an entirely new tech tree last year, and the average is still 2 years between tech trees.
They’re seemingly still deciding on what to do with India.
Yes, I replied to Woe, cause you can’t actually @ people that start with _ currently.
Idk who told you that but that not how it works at all.
As the road map says we are gonna get a new nation this year.
Last October update we got a Sub tree before that a nation.
So it’s clear we are getting a nation this year.
And don’t forget the secret deal between WTM and the Turkish markets or something as that would off gave gaijin a path to learn more about Turkish vehicles if that was part of the deal.
Road map didn’t say we’re getting a new nation this year.
Still doesn’t.
An announcement was made unconnected to the road map that they’ll add more nations in the future, but nothing to indicate this year.
There’s no indication of a tech tree this year.
It also takes well over an entire year to develop a tech tree.
the roadmap doesnt say anything about content, it is only economic specific and anything that releates to it + well maps

Currently, War Thunder features 10 playable nations, and we have no intentions of stopping there! However, as we introduce new nations, it becomes increasingly challenging to capture the attention of veteran players. They have already traversed the ranks multiple times, and therefore, each new journey through a different tree becomes less captivating.
To address this, we plan on implementing a system to alleviate the situation. If a player has a top vehicle in a vehicle branch within one nation, they will receive a RP bonus when researching the equivalent branch of other nations.
In the research tree, certain vehicles will be marked as “top” vehicles for each nation at any given time. Once a player gets one of these vehicles, they will receive an RP bonus when researching other nations where they haven’t yet obtained the top vehicles. The size of the bonus will depend on the rank being researched and will be applicable for the first three battles played each day.
The preliminary bonus for each rank will be:
For rank IV +15%
For rank V + 25%
For rank VI + 35%
For ranks VII and VIII + 50%
These are our initial plans, but we may adjust them by the time the new mechanics have been introduced.
We plan to add these bonuses in a future major update, planned for October-November 2023.
Pretty waste of time then as most will mostly grinded out Israel by now.
Yes, if you read the sole paragraph that mentions intentions to add more tech trees, you’ll notice it’s not part of the roadmap, it’s a partial justification for helping players research new tech trees after completing one.
A justification statement is not a content statement.
Not only that, but they do not indicate time frame, or intentions of adding one this year.
Reading into some things is fine, but reading into a justification paragraph will set you up for disappointment.
It was still given additional planned features that no prototype ever flew with like the IRST, so why limit where things can be adjusted solely for balance, and its not like the would benefit too much as the main issue with it is that it is restricted to only carrying short range IR missiles so can easily be taken advantage of by those with access to SARH’s which amounts to practically every other relevant Fighter in the entire BR bracket, sure its a meta pick in a dogfight but the issue is getting to the fight and being able to stay there, which is where the Block -10 has issues.
It was produced and adopted by a large number of Clients so there are a huge number of proposals and investigations into various aspects, and of course a significant number of features and stores that weren’t adopted or are otherwise reserved for specific builds.
Some stores (like the GPU-5/A for the F-16A-10 for example) are missing completely for an unknown reason even though their carriage was reported while it was still on the dev server.
Not if it would actually mount any stores that it actually did in service. We really are a fair way off.
In order to avoid issues I’d expect that Gaijin would pick any two (maybe three, though with other variants of the Teen series, and assorted specialist & prototype airframes the US air tree isn’t lacking for options for Gen 3~4.5++ airframes, so they can be rotated as needed to offset and delay power / feature creep to keep things as unbalanced as need be) from the following list of F-16 variants for the US and have commensurate variants available for Client nations.
- A Block -25 or -30/-32 would introduce the advanced radar and AMRAAMs (could be replaced by a revision of the -15ADF that adds AMRAAM’s and TWS capabilities as a half step or for Italy since they don’t really don’t have other options for AMRAAMs [AV-8B+/ Tornado / Typhoon, etc] around this BR )
- a Block 40/42 would introduce the basic TGP and SALH ordnance
- a Block 50 brings advanced TGP’s and advanced SALH / GPS/INS and Standoff ordnance
- Block -50/52+ HMD and further improvements
- Various concepts & prototypes
Personally I think the Next update’s the additions aren’t really easy to pin down as the; F-15, F-111, AV-8B / A-8B(NA) or -B+, F/A-18A, and A-10C are all pretty equally likely for the US or at least would follow logically, I don’t think we’re likely to see another F-16 or F-14 in the short term.
I’d say it depends heavily on how poorly the -15ADF does, it could probably see the AMRAAMs early addition or avoiding the need for a Meta addition to the US for this patch letting Gaijin provide AMRAAM capability while not shifting things as badly as the; F-14D, F-15C, F-16C or F/A-18C obviously would.
If you mean the Block 20 specifically, that’s a -16A airframe brought up to -16C standards, with elements from practically each of the blocks up to the -40/-42 to sure up some features, its not a wholesale rebuild to Block 50/-52 standards, but ends up sitting somewhere between them all in various respects, which was the entire point of the upgrade was to do so without proving cutting edge capabilities across the board.
Exactly like Kikka, Ho-229, Ar 234 C-3, XP-50, J7W1, VB10-02, etc.
F-16Cs have mounted Aim-9Ls, which means they’d be using stores in-WT they used IRL.
But, I’m waiting for conformal fuel tank F-16s and HMD F-16s before going after F-16s seriously.
