Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I guess the P-51 was a bad example, because the different Bf 109s and Spitfires don’t really differ all too much per variant

tend to have upgrades in flight perf no? or some armament changes. it is a relic of old tech trees where since it was much smaller it actually mattered

There is a balancing act. I dont think for example we should have every single variant of the Lightning or Hunter, but the fact we have so few of each is just as harmful imo

Yes, slight increments, which lead to higher BRs, which in turn means a new researchable variant is required. This has nothing to do with the size of the trees, but all to do with balancing vehicles based on their capabilities.

no i mean trees overall were much smaller back then so to fill them out they added a lot of variants. though afaik most ww2 stuff in air is fairly balanced right now

Adding as many variants as possible most likely was one of their goals, yes, but that doesn’t negate the fact that a plane that has more/better capabilities than another needs to have a higher BR.

They can’t just keep adding capabilities to a single variant of a vehicle, after just a few improvements a new seperate variant is warranted to be able to assign it a higher BR.

When do they typically update WT hangar to be all Christmassy?

All the houses on my street are lit up, yet my hangar remains elf-less

Sadly, I never saw F-15E armed GBU-54 Laser JDAM

My opinion, AGM-78 before AGM-88 because standard ARM range shorter HARM

A-7E armed AGM-45B

They clearly said in their Q&A that ARMs/HARMs are not a priority right now, so there is little point in arguing about which ones would be more likely to be added right now

but literally no reason for it not to? also coulda sworn i saw f15e mentioned in offical ljdam documentiation

I mean, it’s not a 100% reliable source, but a quick look on Wikipedia says that F-15Es can carry LJDAMs and on the page of the LJDAMs there is a mention of LJDAMs at least having been tested on F-15Es

should be enough hopefuly

I hope it’s good too. Because I’m going to be on teams with players in EFT’s. Likewise you’ll be on teams with players (or maybe not in sim?) with MiGs and Sukhois, and you’ll want them to have good planes too.

Britain is always with the US in sim. And basically always fights the soviets and Germany. Actually not massively looking forward to SIM because it will be typhoon Vs typhoon every lobby unless we finally get new top tier nation lineups

Never,Extremely pessimistic, it is highly likely that Raam will never have MAVs or any new A2G weapons. I bet there is even a great possibility that Israel will fall behind Japan by one version to obtain Py4 . Japan holds special significance for the management of Gaijin. I even think,,,,,,,,well, like Mihoyo (you konw ,that Chinese gaming company) creating Genshin Impact, Gaijin may be full of yearning for Japan ACGwhen maintaining the warthunder. After all, Gaijin first made his fortune is by a Japan animan game🤣🤣🤣
Not to mention the fact that Japanese people were once shareholders of their company,This is most important.😎

You know what’d be cool, if each Dec / Jan, they brought all the ‘Pages of History’ PFP’s of the prior 12 months back on sale as part of the holiday festivities.

Give a chance for everyone who missed one to buy it. Quite sadge that they’re just gone forever if you didn’t get it first time round - and more GE for the snail :)

I have no comment on your whole Gaijin / Japan theory, but yeah, exactly 0% of me would be surprised if snail just forgot about this tree even more than they already have, and if Japan were to get P-4 first.

Italy, France and Germany all got Spikes before Israel.

Italy still exclusively has Lizard before Israel.

It’d be nothing new lol.

How would new lineups change this? And wouldn’t you want a good Soviet/Russian addition to help populate the other lobby with less EFTs?

I’d really love to be able to buy/earn the Zhukov, Gagarin, and especially the Rokossovsky portraits.

That’s an awful lot of copium, if you think Gaijin treats Japan with some sort of specialty

Yes I’m using this meme again lol
