Thats not an issue we face in War Thunder. Étendard can operate just fine from US and UK carriers for the meantime

Thats because right at this exact moment, there are 3 coming. Beyond that, whats possible is still up for consideration. So as I said, lets take the discussion to a proper suggestion and a constructive route rather than a dead ended discussion here.

Considering we have a wide selection of Royal Navy jets (with more possible in the future), including the most famous to operate from them such as the Phantom FG.1s, its very much logical to have them in game.

As AI bases in maps, yes.

Ka-29 next patch and as I said, the carriers come with the next patch and not everything has been shown for the next patch. But the Russian carrier has other reasons to come.

Priorities had to be made in carrier models and the 3 selected are the 3 most important and relevant to battles currently at top ranks. America and Britain by far have the most Naval fighters in game, which would then be followed by France indeed, with the exception of the fact France is generally always on the same team as both of those nations and historically, French detachments have operated on other NATO carriers such as the US. Whilst Soviet teams would have no carrier option at all as if France received one instead of USSR, you end up with a disproportionate 3 on 1 side and 0 on the other. So in all, it was more logical to prioritize these 3 than just 3 NA...

Soviets have the Ka-29 and also the new carriers are in the next patch, which the contents of which are not fully revealed yet. So whats relevant now and then next patch are two separate matters.

We welcome further suggestions on these guys, but this topic isn't the place to do it: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/611-suggestions/

We have 1 French Naval Jet in game at this moment. The Russian carrier will at least be able to field the types of aircraft it operated

A French carrier Is not exactly something that is directly needed at this exact moment, but nobody said it was "never" possible.

Right now, its the 3 new carriers joining the game with this update.

I dont believe there are any near plans for a French carrier or reworks of existing ones.

Hello

This was an error in the store text. Its now been corrected. The tank does not have Thermals and never had.

No.

Since this very clearly cannot be discussed in a reasonable manner without insults and claims being thrown around, the thread will now be locked.

Constructive criticism and feedback is one thing, going on a rant and starting to walk the lines of the forum rules is another. Right now this is not being constructive at all. We have answered all the questions raised.

Sherman's and Stuarts severed in numbers with Italy whilst this one singular tank even raises questions about its own history and completeness.

Indeed two very talented and exceptional creators did make it and its amazing to see their work come to life in game. But the developers still decide whats implemented to the game.

Like I said, this tank wasn't going to come at all originally. The fact is is coming is also due to feedback. But not everything can come 100% how everyone wants it to come.

There are no more blogs today. Please just have some patience.

Please re-read what I said. Soon does not mean tomorrow or the next day. We always say this and its nothing new. It means it will come soon, but we cant confirm exactly when just yet. We also could not deny it outright because there was a possibility it could. No its clear that It cant, so I've communicated that to you.

I never said it was delayed, I said its not complete yet hence why we could not make renders for the blog.

We never said it was coming today at all. You created that expectation yourself. If we say "Soon" thats exactly because its subject to change and we cannot confirm for sure yet.

No rug was pulled from you except the one you created yourself.

What are you talking about? AV-8B was not even planned or considered anytime soon? Its a generation II Harrier and we are only just adding the first generation of VTOL.

Do you not think we would have said something by now?

I said, wait for the news.

My understanding its the Q-5 Late variant. Why specifically is it called A/B I dont know, but its still a work in progress aircraft.

Guys, I can understand your disappointment, but to be clear we have one group of people asking us to take more time to work on things and fix things before "rushing" as some call it and then another group of you saying how "disappointing" it is that dev didn't come.

This update, from the games perspective and what it changes is huge. There are going to be matters the devs need to work on and the update as a whole is very much still in development.

Nobody "lied" to you about things. We said soon because we always say soon. If you self hyped yourself too much, then yes you are going to be disappointed when no dev sever arrives. We never said Dev server was today, it was just "expected".

The developers are hard at work on the update, trying to make it as solid as possible even before the dev server as much as can be done. There is no point showing you something just for you to compl...

Ive already explained it.

This tank was never planned to come since its an incomplete prototype tank, something we generally dont add to War Thunder and in fact removed one in the case of the Flak 341.

However, many made it clear they would like to see more indigenous designs for Italy in general, including this one which is very close to the mark of whats possible in game. So we listened to that feedback and this is the result of that.

Given how only 1 incomplete prototype was created (and not fully finished), coupled with the fact this vehicle is not very well known outside of the Italian tanker community, most players would not really find it a significant addition and likely just skip over it if it were in the tree. Plus there really should not be huge numbers of these running around unlike a Panzer IV, Sherman or T-34.
