Sons of Attila - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Me waiting for Germany to get its 3rd 11.7 tech tree vehicle.
& USSR to get its 2nd 11.7 tech tree vehicle.

I really like this BP:

  • premium heavy CAS for my Japanese line-up;
  • Schnellboot with Bofors cannons for my favorite Italian coastal fleet brs (3.0-3.7);
  • weird thing with autocannon and recoilless rifle (imo there is literally nothing funnier in this game than vehicles with recoilless rifles).
    PS it’s much better to see variants in BP than completely unique vehicles (so far we haven’t even seen any of BP vehicles returned, it’s very sad that I didn’t get Toldi IIa and Turan II for example).

I want the t55e1 :(

I really hope this is real that they coming to WT.

Oh sorry I didn’t realise this was you personal thread.

So remember everyone this is his thread you need his permission to use it.

Oh sorry, I didn’t realize this was your personal thread, Deathmisser.
Remember you need Death’s permission before you can talk about probable missiles. ;)

My favorite part of this thread is when people decide something they don’t like talking about is off-topic and make a big fuss about it.

And I say favorite, because I do it too.

Update: The Saraph can most likely only carry 8 of them (Haven’t found any picture with it carrying 16, only 8)

You’d have to prove with an unclassified loadout sheet, cause Gaijin will rightfully use the fact AH-64s use 4 heavy smart pylons.

It doesn’t mean that the inner pylons were wired to use the Spikes. Just because it can carry hellfires it doesn’t mean that it can just mount hellfires and it would require sources to prove that it can mount the missiles in the inner pylons

I was trying to make a point lmao

Welcome :D

here’s hoping.

I’m not really sure what you mean by " real " here ? If you’re trying to verify the trustworthiness of the naval missile images, you can find them all in the WT CDK assetviewer ( Download War Thunder CDK - War Thunder Wiki )

Other unused naval missiles include

The Type 90 SSM, and it 's launchers on the PG-02
image

The OTOMAT for the Sparviero ( though unlike the above, I’ve never seen it 's launchers in here)
image
The appearance of both of these missiles predates that of the hydrofoils which would be employing them.

The Pr.12412 's were slated to receive a functional Strela turret according to the " Ground Breaking " RU devstream when the first one was added. They use a different quadritube SAM launcher texture compared to the DE one posted above

For a time both versions of the ship had the launcher visible ingame, in the X-ray as a usable weapon, though it lacked any shells or an infotext. That changed in the La Royale devserver, where the 12412P gained an ( unfinished ) Strela-3 and turret description and the regular 12412 lost the SAM x-ray entirely

The USS Forrestal(CVA-59) had an octuple launcher for Sea Sparrow when it initially appeared in the " New Power " devserver.
image

This was removed for historical compliance since that weapon was not present in the fit the ship otherwise appears in, but the textures for it have been retained and it 's still visible next to the catapults in the loading screen/wallpaper which features this carrier.
image

The Baku carrier also has missile launchers modelled as part of it 's armament. They might be the largest missile tubes of anything in WT

The RIM-24 on USS Douglas was originally the AGM-78 ARM, closer to being correct to that ship 's armament since it lacks a missile guidance complex. The launcher textures on PGM-100 is still named for it 's original armament



Maybe we’ll see it return once a decision is made on anti-radiation missiles for aircraft.
And once we have functional surface-surface radar for ships.

It 's not something I can show through the assetviewer, but there 's also an unused naval sensor type, the Type 992Q radar. That radar was mostly used on Royal Navy missile destroyers.
Though radar sensors in WT rarely actually correspond to what the ship they’re used on employed, they’re mostly presets for a given level of capability( e.g. search-only or search/track ). So it 's yet to be seen if that radar being in the files has any relevance to specific vehicles, to appear later.

I’ve heard people claiming a Gripen has been found in the files. can anyone here confirm that?

Its not in the files, it was just mentioned multiple times now from Mods that its Planned for this year

on another topic what would be y’alls top 5 most likely guesses for Naval and top 5 guesses for ground on what the summer vehicles in those respective categories will be?

For the Summer event vehicles, the MiG-29G to carry the tradition of every German top tier aircraft getting an event counterpart, and/or the Leopard 2 PSO. I have no idea for the others.

I don’t think MiG-29G can be event vehicles because it is still copy and paste. It would make more sense to bring an Iranian F-14A or something that is still unique, rather than a complete copy-and-paste vehicle.
