I don’t think it’s fair to compare the Soviet Spitfire Mk Vb with the Yak-9T or Yak-9K, since they were designed for entirely different roles and purposes.
Besides, the USSR lacks solid 4.0 options for Air Arcade Battles, and this could be one potential solution.
If the soviet air branch was in the same status as our early jets.
‘Barking big for being large but no bites’
I might have no reason to be confusing myself about this suggestion.
Lend-Lease vehicles are good to see for me.
They really used them IRL like Hampden.
What if the Soviets had nothing useful in their domestic props, then why not?
I think it is quite tragic that soviet TT is so solid that I can’t support this idea even though I want to see our effort to the Soviets.
Their domestic planes are just doing so good with various options.
I185 and LA5 is already in the game and is a good fighter
Lend lease is best as a way to plug gaps in a tech tree, the USSR air tree doesnt have this problem at all.
its not like with ground where the tree would truly benefit from a british mk2 and valentyn
If the soviet tree didnt have such a diverse amount of aircraft with such favourable flight models and BR placements id fully back it, however that isnt the situation the tree is in
I saw your post for the U.S. Spitfire Mk.5b as well, there’s apparently a trop variant as well, those would be great to see.
I’ve suggested the Mk Vc/trop for the US, along with the Mk VIII as well.
Dammit, I really want to see our beautiful spitfire in soviet tt too. Because sharing things is good, And it will be a perfect event/battle pass reward.
But I just can’t find where we need to place her.
Soviet TT are just way too solid and I can’t find a gap for her.
:'(
It’d probably fall as a premium or event/battlepass.
Theres always a place to squeeze it in the research tree though.
will have to play the brit tree for that brit vehicle still im afraid
There’s nothing wrong with adding more content like this, even if the gap is already filled.
Some people get really dogmatic about what should or shouldn’t be added, which seems silly to me. After all, we’re not the ones making the decisions about what gets developed and added in the game.
This could be a low-priority addition that might eventually arrive in the future if War Thunder starts running out of content ideas.
This should be .303 Browning Mk.II
ban lend lease or captured vehicles unless they are all on the same team
Something like that, yeah
i mean we cant block them from being used in sim as that would destroy the existence of the china tree in its entirety
I think this discussion belongs elsewhere, since this aircraft isn’t only relevant to air simulator battles. You should submit it as a separate suggestion, probably.
You might change this - as it is not correct in 2 aspects:
Nevertheless i up-voted this suggestion as i have read various times about Spitfire kill claims of LW pilots in their memoirs or biographies, but mostly for a short period in 43.
As a side note:
Have a good one!
You could be right, I’ll continue to correct the post as needed, thank you so much.
A 2 GvIAK Mk.Vb fitted with the Soviet RPK-10M radio direction finder at Leningrad in 1945
Maybe a Vb with deteriorated engines.
Like @Real_K_Soze said, they were basically given to the USSR after extensive first hand use.
By that time the aircraft was severely outclassed by Bf 109s and Fw 190s.
I‘m all for having Soviet „lend lease“ vehicles in the Russian tech tree.
Even though WT is just a vehicle game nowadays.
If the game had that kind of detail I’d be ok with it, but it’s just another statistic they need to look at to balance vehicles, probably not a good idea.
