War Thunder Dev Tracker

Hello, friends! Merry Christmas to you all! The end of the year is coming, and with it come the holiday episodes of the Shooting Range. Today we’re going to talk about the new winter update, and the next episode will break the tradition and premiere on Saturday, December 31st, to wrap up the year for War Thunder. Make yourselves comfortable to see...

In this episode:

Pages of History: Soviet Night Fighters


Special: A Tour Around the Gold Quarry


And Metal Beasts: Gen 4 Fighting Falcon

Hello

Firstly, TF-104S never exited. The two seat variant was the TF-104G.

This was a training variant that had the 20mm gun deleted, no access to countermeasures, worse flight performance, less internal fuel and other equipment changes. It also has less loadout options than the current F-104S TAF. As such, it would actually be a very much inferior aircraft in almost every regard.

Other than having a slightly different visual model, all round, this would be a much worse aircraft in game. Regarding drop tanks, they are still a brand new mechanic which will be expanded upon over time.

Merry Christmas

They were reported just a couple of days ago. Its a minor issue, and also Christmas Eve currently. So very unlikely they will be fixed that quickly at the moment

Inside of the game directory, please try deleting the warthunder.yup file. After the launcher has finished, it should have corrected the issue. If it persists, please submit a report here and our devs can take a look: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder

Italy never used any form of ground attack options on its F-16A ADF. It was purely for Air Defence.

Please be sure to report anything missing or incorrect with any aircraft here and our devs can invesigate: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder

See you soon in War Thunder!

Im not really sure what you mean by this. The aircraft matches its documented performance. It was a strike / multirole, not a fighter.

As for wing sweep flaps, its been reported:

Well, if you think there is a bug, please report it here: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder
