There is already an whole suggestion for it :
United Korean Aviation Tech Tree - Suggestions / Aircraft - War Thunder — official forum
44 aircraft + 14 premium (some can be removed), if we were to include Rank I/II/III then 14 more vehicles would have been added (Rank III is very limited).
Oh I’m aware, just discussing what I can with my own knowledge base
You don’t have to add (and therefore wait for) a new airframe to get an AESA radar. Both the F-15C MSIP and F-15E in game got one. Im fairly certain even the Block 50 F-16C got one too. Best solution is to just pick one, probably the F-15C MSIP and give it the newer radar. The F/A-18 is like three, probably four now, updates overdue at this point and unless it comes with some wild kit like 120Cs and early Block I 9xs, will pretty much be DoA.
In fact that F-86F-40 could come in Early and Late forms with and without sidewinders which would help fill in the TT a bit, as the F-86F was given to Korea June 1955 which is at least 2 years before AIM-9B production really began afaik
Some things have enough upgrades to justify a new jet, like the in-game F-15E vs peak F-15E that could come. For the C im fine with just upgrading to golden eagle standard.
Yes F-16C got AESA but also got a lot of other upgrades, I think it should be future end line for US F-16
Then make one as Japan F-86 F-30 block.
Like Rafale F.1 F.2.2 and F.3R or F.4.1 and F.4.2
Yeah pretty much
I could very much see a Block I AIM-9X being released alongside the F/A-18 in the US tree, but they would have to fix the R-73 first as thrust vectoring missiles don’t really work great right now, but Block I was only 60g with lower levels of IRCCM than the Block II and later so it can’t be far off surely
Similar yeah, though IDK if Korea used F-30s and there are some reasonably significant differences between F-30 and F-40
Also, if you have a closer look at the 2025 decal they just released
there is clearly an F/A-18A/C in it as well as what is likely an SU-30 and some brand new SAM that I haven’t identified, could be a Rapier maybe IDK
Given that the decal is called “Looking into 2025” that pretty much confirms them for early next year right?
Using the Wikipedia linked sources, i can definetly says that you’re right about 1955 F-86’s, but can’t tell more about the variants.
I can also say from those sources that F-86D are also a true reality for ROKAF (at least 60 aircraft in 1969)
From a “not a source” 85 of the F-86F were ancient USAAF F-86F of blocks -25 and -30, and numerous of those then got retrofitted to -40 standard to add AIM-9B loadout.
Sooo, the 3 F variants are possible and D variant aswell
That would be pretty great if true.
I’ve kind of refrained from mentioning the D as it used rockets instead of guns which would make it pretty awful and hard to balance at the same time
Don’t know how reliable a source this is but it looks pretty extensive
looks like the one at the museum in Seoul is actually an upgraded F-30
Current D in game does use 4X20mm and have 2xAIM-9B aswell as an afterburning jet engine, but so much heavier.
there is no D in game atm is there?
Can we have an update about anti aliasing still not workink since PS5 Pro update PLEAAASE…
Idk how many time I’m asked about it, and even my bug report still be unanswered…
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/7yrrkMmfbaFj
And also, why since day 2 after the last update we can’t see or buy AH-64D (Dutch) on PlayStation? Wth 😓
Every 3 F-86K (Germany/Italy and France) are F-86D derivatives.
Having a Pure F-86D for the might be impossible,… yet the F-89D premium aircraft use the same kind of weaponary → only rockets.
I get that but unless there’s evidence of ROKAF upgrading their Ds with guns it’s not enough
and that is true, but have you ever tried to use the thing, it’s awful xD
I tried but hey, that thing was a bomber interceptor ^^"
Not a frontline fighter ^^"
What i meant is that it’s possible for maybe Premium or Squadron.
