The Leopard 2A6 is a further development of the well-known German main battle tank, combining the superb protection of preceding variants with greater firepower. Soon, tankers will get the chance to command the modern Leopard 2A6 as it becomes the new crowning jewel of the German ground forces tree in the “New Power” War Thunder update!





Briefly: Based on the 2A5 modification, the Leopard 2A6 combines its predecessors qualities with a lengthened Rh 120 L55 cannon, sporting improved ballistic properties.

With the release of the War Thunder: ‘New Power’ update, we are adding new types of AI aircraft carriers to the game that serve as naval bases for aircraft.

More good news for War Thunder pilots is that in the upcoming ‘New Power’ update, several new types of AI aircraft carriers will appear in the game that serve as naval aviation bases in missions with sea and ocean. For these aircraft carriers, we have made fully fledged, highly detailed models that are not inferior in quality to the in-game military fleet.

Does not really help with what missiles, how many, what the pylons look like etc etc. Its a rather poor document.

Comment

Forwarded to the developers for review.

Comment

We will forward it one last time unless new sources can be presented.

Comment

The source you just provided states that the MiG-21PFM was the variant capable of firing the weapon which is exactly what the developers have told me.


The point is, its not the Bis. PFM is a separate variant. We already discussed it with the developers and passed on those sources. They don't counteract the further sources, including the ones you just posted that show the MiG-21 did not have the same guidance radar that PFM variants had that lead to the ability to fire X-66/Kh-66 and thus wont be introduced on this MiG-21Bis variant.

Comment

The source you just posted here confirms "That left the MiG-21PFM as the only possible delivery vehicle for the Kh-66" which is exactly what the developers have said. So im not sure what the issue is now?

Comment

We dont plan to do this, as it would have no armament at all this way.

Comment

Hello


This is not a bug. This weapon could only be carried on aircraft equipped with PFM level of guidance radar similar to that of the Fireflash on Swift F.7.


The developers have already revived this situation and confirmed that our MiG-21Bis could not fire it. Only the variants such as MiG-21PFM could.

Comment

Those people that perhaps don't care to much for historical accuracy, don't read Q & As and would not be very happy that their premium P-47D got a FM downgrade and for those that play sim, a much harder time seeing around them.


This way was the best way of not downgrading anyones current P-47 purcahse whilst still offering the historical one. The old one will just become a collectors item.

Comment

Hello


This is not a bug, Italian Leopard 1A5s had LWR whilst German ones did not.

Comment

There are and these were in the past and we wish to avoid them as far as possible. This is one of those cases where its avoidable.

Comment

Well in that instance, it was really an upgrade, hence why it was fine to replace one with the other. In this case, replacing P-47D with the D-16 RE would be a downgrade in most respects.



For you personally yes, which we understand. However this was the best possible outcome for all owners without causing potential issues with those who would be offended we "downgraded" their purcahse.
