If something is not on sale this time, it generally means its already recently been on sale.

This tank was added in New Power. The last 2-3 updates are always excluded from sale because they are too recent to be discounted.

Please don't automatically assume because im explaining why something is how it is, that im also not communicating with developers on matters at the same time. It seems to be a common trend that you don't understand. Its also been the Christmas holidays, so I and most other CMs have not been here.

Its already known to the developers that an Experimental Type 77 configuration was done during trials. As EpicBlitzkrieg also pointed out that you omitted here, this was not a standard PFM and is no more valid than the export ones already discussed previously. The same case was true with the MiG-21Bis, in that certain configurations were possible to allow for the firing of the Kh-66 on that platform. But this again involved swapping radars to one like the PFM currently has that can guide Kh-66.

The book is an unsupported secondary source. The photo (Not photos, as apart from one of them, all the others are either Export or not PFMs at all) is a PFM with a different radar configuration to the version we have coming to the game. In the same way, the MiG-21Bis can have its radar systems removed and swapped out for one that can fire and guide Kh-66, but we dont have that. We have a version with the pure air-to-air radar and much in the same way, we have the PFM with the Kh-66 capable guidance system.

No there is not a bug report at all. There is a discussion topic. Thats
not
a bug report, so do not mislead people.

Have a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone

Bit too soon to call that im afraid. I would imagine its still plausible as a future prospect.

Nothing new thus far. It joins a queue of things to be done. No ETA for now.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year

Can confirm this now. I managed to find some 1/72 Resin ones so I can make a WT Buccaneer model

"Microcell pod" is what they are described as:

Lets not get into wishlisting please.

Hello

Im not exactly sure what you are referring to here as both vehicles shown and described in the pack are exactly what you get and both are premium vehicles:

There is no fruad or deception here at all. Its fully clear what you get in the pack:

If you wanted to submit an offical suggestion for it, its welcome here: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/1379-great-britain/

Except you cant just slap a model together "just like that" so no, its not that easy.

We just had a patch last week, a Winter Marathon, sales and New Years events. Plenty of things to keep people busy until we get closer to the new patch next year.

Because it has been sold with that as the primary weapon system. You cannot then just take it off. Without it, it becomes a drastically worse aircraft.

And as explained, if you look at those vehicles they were at the time and in the same patch we introduced a whole new tree that had a Rank I reserve premium. We do not have a whole new national tree this year, so there is no new Rank I reserve premium to add as a gift. Instead there are 4 new unique gifts for Pilots, Tankers and Naval captains. Including the first Naval decorators.

To also add to what gromvoiny said above, there are also 4 gifts this year of a different kind that are open for everyone regardless of what tree you play or mode you play.

Not at all when it comes to modelling, photographic reference, module placement and lots more. Specific armour values have to be taken with the best possible sources, but everything else is pretty much extensively covered in most cases.

The Skins are created and hosted on Live and come from there and the whole point is to give back to the creators as well as get some cool skins in game. Its a big part of what they are all about, not just popular aircraft in game.

Popularity also has an effect. If people upvote it a lot, its more likely to get noticed.

Tanks are progressively being updated with volumetric armour schemes over time. We cant give exact ETAs on specific cases though im afriad.
