War Thunder "Sky Odyssey" - Changelog

About bombers .
People are taking the wrong approach. You can go dogfight fighters and once you achieve air superiority kill the AI attackers so they don’t deplete your tickets. Then you go ground pound…
You don’t really have to be bothered with bombers at all . I understand that most people find it boring, but you can triple your RP/SLs that way… The way it is structured , you don’t even have to suicide/lose …you’ll just auto-win by that .
The only thing the update did is let bombers take some points and make the games last longer (and you can get advantage of that making points). For me if you don’t have 30mms you risk your whole game by caring for what the bombers do. Also study a bit where bombers have their guns and what gun and pick your approach accordingly.

They could just give it 9Ps (for me they are worse than Ds, in everything but gimbal limit and especially in slow planes the extra range is miracle … not to mention they were not ever wired to use 9Gs, they came with 9P in a similar with A-7D set-up) and get it to 10.0 . It’s pretty much equivalent with A-4N Ayit…Different strengths and weaknesses , but without guided weapons it’s not on par with 7E. And it shouldn’t be.

Now they do with NE mode , since they share BR.

They may get them in the future. In fact Greece if used correctly makes Israel a pretty full tree, because they fill all lower tiers (WW2) .
T1
Gladiator Mk1/2 , Henschel Hs 126K-6 (KEA built),Avro Anson , Avia B-534, PZL P24F/G (some KEA built), Potez 633B2 Grec (no 20s, 7,5 mms and bombs only) , AEKKEA-RAAB R-29 (this is domestic produced and it should be reserve tier) .

T2
Blenheim mk4/5 ,Bloch MB.151 with 20mms , Hurricane Mk1/2 , A-30(A) Baltimore , Wellington MkXIII

T3
Spitfire Vb/Vc

t4

Spitfire IX LF/HF and XVI.

To be fair it will be pretty complete and it is CnP if anything. Even the planes that aren’t in game, you can use them in other TTs.
And before someone cries about it… CHINA WW2 tiers. What i mean is they could have China t4 and above as well, like Israel…

And nothing for Sweden. Yay.

@Smin1080p_WT Any news you can share? Thanks!

Hey. Whilst the reports are still open, im afriad we dont have any new updates.

Could it still be subject to change?

I’m curious about the principles of adding some new weapons into the game. Will new weapons or loadouts be added or changed between two major updates? Or This will only happen when major updates are released.

J35J not getting flares is disappointing. I guess double standards are only for those that can go for GJN

Any way to get the other UI back for presets? The current ‘‘new’’ was is not ideal, the pop up menu was much more better and more user friendly, new one is slow and not friendly.

Do you have any news on the Aerial Warfare mode?
Is it still being worked on or has Nuclear Escalation taken it’s place?

@Smin1080p_WT I would like to point some attention to an issue that have been reported about the new update. The VR is experiencing extreme jitter, that was not there the day before the update.
It is unplayable in VR at the moment, as it strains the eyes so much it hurts. And I’m saying it as one who mainly play AirSim in VR.

Are you glazing the devs for adding last update a useless spaa and a premium copy paste and now they added a jet with no countermeasures at a br with some all aspect aams? and no new skins for sweden…

HA probably when I went to walk my dog.

I swear if these clowns get regen steering sent the way of the APHE rework I’m going to make my previous crash outs look like a Hello Kitty picnic…

After my Mosquito B.XVI got instantly sliced apart from light AA I went back and checked the list - nope, no new damage model there!.

Back to the hanger you go.

On a positive note I did decimate an approaching P-61 who suffered the exact same fate.

you can tell it hasn’t entered service yet because production missiles dont have their name written on every corner in big font
