War Thunder Dev Tracker

We didn't hint at anything. The blog was clear from the start what it would have. The vehcile was included within the major update as for technical reasons, all content of that nature has to be included in a large update. Since it was the last large update of the year, the plane was included in the patch but the guidance for the anti-ship missiles was still WiP.

It is for this reason we did not hand out the aircraft early to content creators early to show because it was still being worked on and the functionality was not final. The Wikipedia method of vehicle viewing works regardless.

The feature was not "removed". It simply wasn't finished in the first place.

The content creators that showed the vehicle used a method using the Wikipedia that allows you to view aircraft in game that are not actually "available" fully yet. Anyone can do this. Not just content creators. That does not mean the aircraft was final or not WIP however.

We do not control the content that content creators make. They are free to make whatever they want regarding rumours, datamines and anything else WIP. However that does not mean whatever is shown by them is final or in anyway representative of the finished vehcile. The Dev blog outlined what the vehcile was going to have.

When vehciles are ready to be shown, they are available properly for content creators to request/ showcase. This was not the case with this vehcile.

Using videos created by content creators as a means to show we advertised or promised something, when we im fact did not and even said the opposit...

"Although, the naval version has no access to the guided bombs" - in there from the very beginning.

The blog had all the correct info from the get go. A Tornado with no guided bombs and anti-ship missiles. I'm really not sure how much clearer that can be said.

The blog explicitly outlined this missile as an anti ship. Further to this, we did also clarify as flame already linked:

Further to that, again, we always point out that things being in the finals or being accessed ahead of time until we have properly issued them for review or are available is not something to considered final.

This is incorrect. People used a method of checking the vehcile early whilst it's systems were still being finalised before we had properly even handed it out to content creators to show it locking tanks. This is why we so often urge cution when viewing datamines or using workrounds to check vehciles ahead of time.

We in no way advertised it would have the ability to lockup tanks.

Most is the Devs are currently on NY holidays.

Winter holidays are all about having fun, spending quality time with your loved ones and snow. Lots of snow. Not just in real life: it’s absolutely the same in War Thunder. Thanks to user-made camouflages, any tanker, pilot or captain can quickly bring more holiday spirit to their hangar, and to make it easier, we compiled a list of really cool holiday or winter-themed camouflages, made by other players in the community. Get ready for very unusual versions of fearsome combat vehicles – with lots of fireworks and Christmas crackers!

We invite youtubers and streamers to cooperate and offer support depending on the quantity and popularity of your content. More information: https://warthunder.com/en/media/partnership/

That boosters (at least 50% for 50battles was something special) was given on some special occasion.

2. Artistic Screensho...

Unfortunately we cannot individually message every rejected suggestion with an explanation every time. There are too many invalid suggestions that dont follow the rules. Its also explained in the rules that any suggestions that do not follow them will not be approved:

Your thread was not published as you did not read and follow the suggestions guidelines:

Most importantly, the last point:

Further to that, your topic was quiet literally just the image you posted here and one line. We ask that suggestions at least have some substance material.

Secondly, we have already mentioned that drop tanks will be expanded upon in future updates for other vehicles. The feature just launched with the new vehicles added this major and many others are set to receive them over time. Much like custom loadouts, we will update more and more every major update.
