Work-In-Progress: CA-27

[C0OK1E_M0NSTER8]

It’s the first cool thing added for Australia recently, the Aardvark, Hornets and Abrams where all just copy paste

[C0OK1E_M0NSTER8]

I think it’s similar to the British Phantoms, which used Rolls Royce Spey engines, and had Skyflash DF missiles

Thank you, my mistake!

Easy mistake to make honestly, there’s no official way to check what’s a subtree and what isn’t. Only announcements, and some are pretty hidden like forum replies.

There’s only a player made list, but it’s hard to find unless you’re actively looking for it because it’s not official.

Sub-tree discussion thread

Sub-tree discussion thread [image] Update Ixwa Strike where South Africa became the first sub-nation in-game This thread is dedicated to discussing in-game sub tree’s and fixed home nations (nations that aren’t a sub-tree but are allocated to be housed in a specific nation). Current nations and their sub tree’s USA [image]

Sub-Nations

The USA doesn’t currently have any sub tree’s

Switzerland [image] The Swiss sub-tree currently only has an air branch…

@Stona_WT

filling a gap in the early jet fighter line

Me when the gap is literally just 9.0

Thats not a Kangaroo…

This is a Kangaroo!

@Pvt__Wade

watch them players clap after they were just complaining about copy paste making every tree the same

Jokes on them lol…

The thing is with the CA-27 is that there are very little in the way of similarities with the F-86…

So, the model needs to be built from scratch… pretty much entirely new air frame compared to the F-86, not to mention control surfaces, engines, guns etc… as already explained

@F16XLWT

Looks straight out of Simple Planes

The shot is a Work in progress as its been explained

What you see is a render from the 3D program of the model in between being worked on, so it will look very simple and also because there are no textures made for it yet or they just have not added the textures for the demonstration

@MokaMoki

Transparency is always good. But this does read as “Look we have another copy and paste vehicle for you, but please see how these few things are different”. The entire War Thunder player base does not interface with the forums or website and there is solid chance this will still be interpreted as more of the same. Especially when, if we are sticking with the UK tree at this moment, the Vulcan is right there. But I get the intent here and appreciate the extra behind-the-scenes.

@MokaMoki

Google shows everything is largely the same except the engine and weapons, otherwise the chassis remains largely the same. It seems the newer engine allowed for a bit more fuel but cosmetically, the uninformed are going to say it looks like another copy and paste. The game is played by casuals and armchair generals all the same. But if you’re saying its different, then cool beans.

LOL no… the air frame does NOT remain largely the same whatsoever… about 60% of the fuselage has been altered alone… and this is a entirely new 3D model because it has very few similarities with the F-86…

Have you even seen the blueprints side by side ?

First thing I will probably do with this in a test flight is confirm it can break the sound barrier in a shallow dive. The CAC Sabre was capable of doing it, and became RAAF’s first supersonic aircraft.

@DarkSilentNights

literally anything except the F-86H huh

The USAF F-86H Sabre Hog retain 20mm cannon (except F-86H-1)

@PercussionCap

Splendid! Will Malaysia/Thailand get theirs too?

Just Indonesian and Malaysian coming to japan tech tree

[Columbia6448]

H was passed to devs a long time ago but I don’t know if we will ever see it
And if we do I hope it’s the F-86H-10

@oom1992

Coming to Attack aircraft line or USN/USMC fighter aircraft line ?

The FJ-2 and FJ-3M should be in the USN/USMC fighter aircraft line, imo.

[PercussionCap]

Yeah yeah I know, I got it wrong. It’s indonesia, not Thailand.
