HMS Invincible was the lead ship of her class of three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy in the late 1900’s and represents the first battlecruiser-type warship ever to be built. Soon, captains will have the chance to take command of HMS Invincible as she becomes one of the first warships of her type to arrive in War Thunder as part of the next major update!

In War Thunder, HMS Invincible will be among the first battlecruisers to become available to British captains in the ranks of the Royal Navy, following the release of the upcoming major update. Unlike full-scale battleships, HMS Invincible represents a ‘middle of the road’ warship design, combining aspects from both cruisers and battleships.

Afaik DLSS is exclusive for RTX series. Can you link the info that it's possible on GTX cards?

Comment

This was previously answered. Currently its not planned to replace the standard random battles with EC. EC will (for the time being at least) remain and on and off event mode. Whilst we very much do understand peoples enjoyment of EC, EC also brings a particular set of issues and challenges, even more so in the naval mode.


But we will continue with its development, fixes and bringing it back when we can.


Right now though, its unlikely to come back before the next major.

Comment

I was referring to the fact that the current models have the mounting point on the fuselage underside currently there, when these versions did not use it. That very minor model matter has no gameplay impact.


Not the flares themselves.

Comment

Oh yes we have the news, but if we told you, we'd have to...

Comment

We already said in the last Q & A, the flare mount being there is an issue for both Jaguars and is known, planned to be fixed. It has 0 gameplay impact at all.


Lots of aircraft in a series share c*ckpit models were separate models are not yet completed. The MiG-21s did and the British Phantoms share their US cousins too. This is not something exclusive to Jaguar and again, is better than a low res placeholder.

Comment

France has some promising things ahead. Not just with this update (as I said its a smaller one).

Comment

And up to this point. France has not had tons of vehicles in reserves that offer the same attraction that current event and squadron vehicles have. Event vehicles must also be interesting and useful and what France has had of that so far we have done our best to divert to the main tree where possible. US again is a case where it has so many examples that the community want to see, there are enough interesting extras with accessible info to make event vehicle options too.


But specifically here, I was talking about major update content, not events / squadron as they follow an entirely different deployment and set of criteria to the major update content thats available to everyone.

Comment

Unfortunately we are entering an era were multiple nations shared projects and development and also where multiple nations use the same aircraft. Its also conflicting seeing as lots of people seem to also want/be asking the French F-8, even though its primarily an American aircraft and by your logic, not French enough even though widely used by the French. Shared use or multi nation purchase is a fact of history. Something used by France still counts just as much.


Regardless of your personal opinion, it doesn't Jaguar A is still a unique aircraft for the French tree. But if you want to discuss it, you can go here: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/496137-french-jaguar-a/

6 US jets were added over major updates this year so far and 2 French ones. So yes, you are

Comment

There are people that enjoy and play all modes. Just because you and others dont, does not mean everyone is the same as you regardless of how many may or may not voice it.


It would be the same case if we suddenly stopped making dev blogs for certain nations because they are played less and most people dont care about them. Some people would be just as upset.

Comment

Just to point out, nobody said they wont come in time, just like everyone elses things. But again, we have the factor here that for every one of these you list, there are 2-3 American jets also to add + USSR + Everyone else too.


Mirage IIIC is still a top performing jet, so France is not falling behind at all. Is there more to come? For sure. But it cant all come at once.
