Work-In-Progress: CA-27

In any case this thing would be a beast, a Avon engine making it (I think?) the best Sabre in the game and a pair of 30mm ADENs, I assume it’s gonna be 9.0? At that BR it will absolutely get AIM-9Bs

let alone the 2 variants of the RAF sabre too

My initial impression would be 8.7, on-par with the Hunter F1.

but I would be worried that it wouldnt be a good fit for 9.0+, even with missiles. (Hunter FGA9 for example is a bit meh, and it gets 9Es, though I mostly blame compression)

30mm ADENs are a pain to aim in a dogfight too.

Stona will there be more commonwealth vehicles coming to the British Tree, ?
IF we starting to see planes like these ?

Looks straight out of Simple Planes

Dev blog this early is not Snail style💀

well, you could make some of them premium and squadron vehicles as well.
But it’s pretty pointless trying to speculate over Gaijins decisions on armament.
If there is only one variant I would like firestreaks as it’s more unique than AIM-9s and only ADENs would be a little painful as I think it only had 162 rounds per gun. Aim-9s is more likely though.

Is it going to be the Mk30 or 32 version?

The CA-27 model for War Thunder is being built from scratch, currently our team of artists are looking at documentation and photographs, adding increasingly detailed elements to the model.

Remember the 9.0 CL-13, it’s really good from what I heard.
In any case it gets an excellent engine, you can’t cheat that in the BR

5th Gen when though?

We have way enough top tier slop, let us enjoy middle tier novelties for once. You’re still gonna get ten billion top tier jets in december, and a decent chunk in september and november

Will it have bullpups

I dont understand how people enjoy anything but top tier tbh

“novelty” and it’s just a significantly worse CL-13B at same BR

And I don’t understand how people enjoy top tier.

So to each their own, let people celebrate mid tier and you can celebrate the top tier part of the game.

Probably because top tier is plagued with clueless wallet warriors and matches lasting 2-3 minutes

In what way is he worse?

It can be fun sometimes to play a chill skilled dogfight with actual energy tactics and stuff, instead of spamming ten gorbillion missiles at someone and hope they don’t know what that weird beep sound in the cockpit means (they usually don’t)
