We sometimes tease a vehicle ahead of its planned deployment if its ready. Such as we did with the Buccaneer a patch before its release with the Carrier blog.


But naturally yes, the devs are always working hard on new content for everyone to enjoy

Off topic removed. Please stay on topic guys.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not really relevant at all to the topic at hand. So lets not start another off topic direction.


Its best to ask here if you have doubts: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/262-ask-the-experts/


Or alternatively you can submit any historical material for review via a historical report if you have doubts.

It's ok Bosvark, I still think your cool


Hell it even looks a bit like a mini version of that Decepticon that smashes up the highway in the first Transformers movie. What's not to like ))

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Full details will be published and made clear in due course. For now this is just a teaser



Not really. Again, this is just a teaser.

Content development and game balance (BRs) have no correlation in terms of development time. Two entirely seperate things.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

The Leopard 2A6 model is incomplete and was in the trailer for placeholder purposes to show what the top tank will be. It's model will be different to the German one when it's ready.

As the blog said, there will be aviation.

The 10th anniversary is a seperate event, this is one of two major updates still left this year and includes many requested things that a lot of people hoped to see.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

As always, the Dev stream never shows all ))



There has always been a major (roughly) around the time of every anniversary period. They haven't been 2nd, 5th, 8th etc anniversary patches and the same with this one. Because the anniversary is a seperate event which we announce later.


There's many things in this update across the board.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not currently.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

New Power was an exceptionally large update as it was the 2.0 update. We have Finland joining the game where Israel did last year with a ground and air branch in the same patch. Setting up a path for more domestic units in the future ahead.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

We already have Finland as two new lines in Sweden. So there won't be another whole nation on top of that no.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Placeholder model at the moment.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Guys, the topic is descending into a bit of random jet discussion that doesn't actually have any grounding for the current major update.


I would just like to remind everyone that things being in the files don't mean its automatically coming this update. Whilst there is still the potential for some things still to make it, there is also another major towards the end of the year. Until something has more grounding than a few texture files, its not the place to be going into in depth back and forth loadout and national debates on the subject.


Discussions on general high rank aviation speculation, balance, missiles etc can be taken here:

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Yes. Finland was planned.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

As I said in the same post, there is the potential for more things not shown to come this update or naturally the next across the board. What they are specifically we are not going to go into detail just yet.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

We dont have one planned as far as im aware.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Its the weekend right now so there's no news to share at the moment. As we mentioned in the pinned news article, once its fully stabilized and over, we will give some more details.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not planned for now and we explained why when it was added. Its doing perfectly fine with 65Ds as it is.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not with this patch that im aware of. However its reported and known to the dev.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

If we had something to say about a vehicle, we would ))

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

I'm implying that asking us to comment on things in the files over and over again is not going to receive an answer.


If / when something is actually coming, we will:

Make a dev blog


Include it in the patch notes / changelog


Announce it via some other offical means (Stream)


We wont:

Confirm it in a random forum topic


Confirm it because you sent a private message or Discord message asking


Explain every last thing found in the files (because some are meaningless for this update or any update)


Things being in the files (and this means absolutely anything) don't mean they are coming this patch necessarily or they may.


But either way we are not going to comment on it until its certain.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Please do not just post random off topic stuff. No reason to do that here when you have a whole forum to use.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Russia has a perfectly capable top rank SPAA. China does not. Russia can wait a little while to receive another SPAA in that department.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Always a possibility. But at this stage I haven't been keeping track of everything datamined.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

This topic sometimes )))

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

We are always working on bringing new SPAA across the board for all nations to fill gaps. Russia has already seen some of these over the past year or so, as well as other nations like the UK and Israel which had significant gaps, that are now being plugged this patch and the previous ones.


Worth noting that some nations have far larger gaps than the one from 8.0 - 11.0 for Russia. We are however working on new examples of SPAAs for most nations over time as always.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Context is not deflecting, but important to consider when discussing the subject at hand.



Once again, Russia's current top tier SPAA is more than sufficient for its role. IR or not. We have other candidates in mind, but its for the exact same reason that TOR wasn't added to the Russian tree this patch. Its indeed correct we work on our models over long periods and much consideration goes into that. But as it currently stands, Russia's top tier SPAA is already better than the Type 93 from Japan. The fact its IR is rather meaningless there.



Again, no tree is without a gap somewhere at some stage. We are always working to fill those, however the Russian tree has the least gaps out of any tree here. China had far more significant SPAA gaps for some time and they were heavily requested by the community.



This has 0 baring or meaning on the game. Production numbers, first to make "X,Y or Z" or had the largest number off are all statements thrown around all the time in some aspect or another. But they don't necessarily always translate across to game terms or dictate content development.



None of these questions have absolutely anything to do with the next major (what this topic is for) and are just going to spawn more off topic discussions here. Your original question was answered. Thats not an invitation to open your Wishlist and post them all here.


If you want to ask questions in the relevant places, please do. However again, mass production rates are totally meaningless in relation to "where is X vehicle" in game terms.


If you want to Wishlist, please do here:


However this is just a long list of personal things you would like to see or thing should be in the game. Which is not the purpose of this topic and quite enough off topic for now

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

My guy out here saving my Sunday.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

The ones not on the weekend.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

If there's nothing to talk about with the update, then you can use the whole forum that's outside this topic. It's not a justification to go off topic just because you don't want to talk about the update here.


Plenty of dedicated sections and topics out there. You have been here long enough to know how it works. So please don't encourage others to just carry on off topic.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

So again, if theres nothing for you to talk about, the rest of the forum can be used. There's no mandate to post in this thread every day for anyone )))

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Mistranslation. It will be corrected


The actual task is:

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

There's a couple of things that were not on the dev server potentially still to come. However the main focus of this update was very much the Finnish tree.


As always, there is another major at the end of the year with even more to come

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

The BMP-2M, BMD-4, PUMA and M3A3 Bradley will also have this feature.



The developers have said they don't have any evidence of fully-fledged target tracking in the same way as the above vehciles. So a historical report will be welcome if you have that information.



Please have a little bit of patience, it's been less than 30 minuites since you aksed. We aim to answer all questions as soon as possible, but we have other duties that don't involve this topic 24/7. The developers who we contact to confirm are also equally as busy and working on the next major.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Stating it is not sufficient I'm afraid.


If you believe it's the case and have the evidence to support it, please report it. However as it currently stands there's nothing of substance the developers can do with your statement.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Currently no news to share on that front. The premium one is the one coming for now.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

This is just the current launch of the tree, with the main aim of filling some of the gaps and line-ups for Sweden. Naturally new vehicles will be added over time to the line too.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not planned currently.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Actually its the Leopard 2PL that holds the record for most modern MBT in game.


2020 service entry date with deliveries due to be completed by 2023 currently.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Probably the Finnish Hurricane (can't say no to another Hurricane to enjoy), BT-42 or the J34, which I've looked forward too for some time.

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Not one, but two camos (currently at least) ))

about 2 years ago - Stona_WT - Direct link

Steam version is updating now.

about 2 years ago - Stona_WT - Direct link

Soon™

AFAIK stuff will be still locked server side until we announce that Major Update is live in the news.

about 2 years ago - Stona_WT - Direct link

Idea is, to have all updated more or less same time (so smarties from Steam do not try to break their steam version with manually updating launcher and then complain that something is not right ). Yes, I also use STEAM (Lord Gaben <3)

about 2 years ago - Smin1080p - Direct link

Please be sure to leave your feedback for the major update in the patch notes discussion topic!
