War Thunder Dev Tracker

To be clear, what was asked for is Type 74 variants to boost lineups. That's exactly what's coming here.

Foldering vehicles is not done on request, it's done by economical factors and development decisions when a tree is large enough to begin foldering things. Japan has 3 Rank VI tanks. Folders only start appearing when a rank is reaching its limits.

Naturally people are always going to want the quickest and easiest path to get something. But reaching the top of the Japanese tree is already possible in 1/3rd of the time of the US one. So you shouldn't expect to see many folders anytime soon.

With the release of the update.

It's a store pack. Only the GR.1 is for GE. AV-8A and Yak-38 so be packs

Indeed that's correct. The AV-8 and Yak were only GE on Dev so people could test them as we didn't have a pre-order for them.

Collecting feedback is important for all battle rating updates. The important point that people overlook as misunderstand is we cannot implement all suggested changes.

We ask for feedback because there can be cases that need a second review and also matters that can be discussed. But the vast majority of time, everyone has different personal experiences and opinions. Often personal opinion does not line up with the facts.

Regardless this is outside of the scope of this topic and not a discussion to be had here.

@AG3F2aaaaand here you go: https://warthunder.com/en/news/6942/current/

It's officially official as official can be. Now you can pls staph ;-;

The Yak-38 was a Soviet strike fighter with VTOL capabilities, developed in the early 1970’s by the Yakovlev design bureau for use aboard Kiev-class aircraft carriers. Soon, two of the more widespread variants of this highly interesting aircraft will join the top ranks of the Soviet aviation tree in the next major War Thunder update. “New Power”!

Briefly: The first operational Soviet strike aircraft with VTOL capabilities, combining the abilities of both conventional fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.

Yakovlev Yak-38M, jet fighter, USSR, rank.VI

Pros

VTOL capabilities


Numerous payload options


Premium bonuses (on Yak-38)

Cons

Subsonic

...

We don't do that for any nation at any rank.

Also worth pointing out, new Type 74 variants was a suggestion from Japanese tankers themselves just like Type 90(B).

I'm not really sure what you are expecting. We are not at the point of where the F-104S ASA can be added or where AIM-9L can be given. Because it's important to remember, once you open the AIM-9L box, almost all top tier Phantoms and the later Harrier models can use them too. On top of the fact the R-60M is then possible for the MiG-21s and Yak-38s.

Even when the day does come for later F-104S models, the same situation will arise as Italy will then be waiting longer again for even higher generation aircaft like Tornado, Eurofighter and F-16 which are all ages away. Italy simply did not have the diversity that other nations had with regards to competitive fighters as they generally hung on to what they had for much longer.

That's not to say other jets of different nature's won't also come over time. But expecting Italy to constantly have a equal top tier rival to a nation like USA / UK / USSR for example is not goi...

Pretty much all of the content of the patch was shown. Right now it's just the fixes and finalisations to come.

Please don't expect to see more vehicles in this major.

Only if you have

Its important to note, Japan only has 3 Rank VI tanks as a whole, compared to those nations you are looking at who both have 10+, hence why their trees have more foddered content. The Japanese tree has far less to research already.

Quite a lot has changed for a lot of ground battles maps. Similarly there are changes that will be noticeable in all modes.

Its the same case as with the German Sea Hawk Mk 100 where the sidewinders were tested on the Mk 101.

And no, we do not plan to add SRAAM on the others as they all already have air-to-air missiles whilst GR.1 did not.

Its not the first time. Apaches for example were not a Pre-Order and there were others.
