Thunderskill is not at all representative of the actual stats, which the devs used today to provide the answer that I answered just a few hours ago.

As I mentioned in the earlier answer, they will be following the stats of the aircraft and make any changes accordingly. However right now, its levelled out at its BR as have the FGR.2/FG.1. Both the UK and Germany will receive new top fighters in a future patch.

The answer has been pinned at the top of the topic for the past 11 hours.

Because both may not be ready for this patch as we have already explained and in general no nation is planned to be getting two new top rank 8's in a single patch unless something changes.

Hence why I did not call it a fighter and why I said a new top fighter will be coming later. Not everything added at the higher ranks is fighters all the time.

Any changes of weaponry or features for any aircraft will be in the final notes.

The devs will monitor the vehicles statistics and make any decisions from there.

As I said above, Germany will receive its new fighter in a later patch yes. As also previously mentioned the F-4F and FGR.2/FG.1 will not receive AIM-9L. New top fighters will be added to both nations in a future patch.

Germany is receiving the Tornado IDS this patch and a new top fighter in the later patch like the UK.

It has not been confirmed that Italy is getting an F-16 this patch yet.

The aircraft it does receive will be detailed when its available.

Not this patch.

Not all vehicles of the patch have been shown, however we cannot at this stage confirm the final contents.

Whilst we can certainly pass it on for review, I cannot comment on if the developers will consider it sufficient or make any changes from it. It will also be treated as a suggestion, rather than any classification of a bug / issue.

Magic 2 already has increased flare resistance in game over Magic 1. What other games do has no relevance to War Thunder.

As has already been explained, if you can provide anything that clearly explained how they should be improved or by how much, then something can be done.

Repeating the same claims over and over, without any factual backing for us to base the change on and saying its all classified does not mean we can do anything however.

Hello

Your sources have been removed. For any source later than 1980, you need to provide explicit proof of declassification, otherwise it is not permitted and will result in tour account receiving punishment if it is found to be not legally declassified.

Please see here for source requirements before you post sources:

So if there is no information available that we can use and already use the best information that is publicly available, coupled with the fact Magic 2 already has increased resistance, im not sure really what you expect.

You continue to claim it should be better, but can provide nothing to substantiate those claims that we can use to make any changes. Only claim that its classified somewhere. In which case, there is nothing that can be done and the missiles are the best they can be. Which you would know.

All loadouts for all aircraft are currently WIP. With that said, if you think something specific is missing, please report it and we can pass it on. A mention of certain weight is not really much help.

Planned.

As has already been explained on multiple occasions. Magic 2 already has increased flare resistance over the standard Magic and other rear aspects.

You have not been able to provide any evidence of how else it should be better or by how much by. So it is the best as it can be reliable modelled in game.

As far as I'm aware its Mk 103s.

The UK will also have 2 Rank VIII jets as the Harrier is moving. As was mentioned on the stream today, the ADV variant of the Tornado will be in a future major update (not this one).

The EJ Kai is moving to Rank 8 as a result and if necessary, it's BR can change. The UK and Germany will receive their own new top fighters in a future update.

It's been mentioned multiple times Italy will get 1 of 2 rank 8s this patch. Including the pinned comment at the top of the thread.

It's not planned for this patch to do so. Right now both aircraft suit their current BR without changes. New top aircraft are also planned in the next updates for both nations as top tier fighters.

The Devs will follow the situation and make any adjustments as required.
