War Thunder Dev Tracker

We have on average over 1000 fixes and improvements every major.

The T-72AV (TURMS-T) is a Soviet T-72AV tank modernized for the Syrian army. The TURMS fire control system, developed by the Italian company Officine Galileo, was previously used on C1 Ariete tanks. In the early 2000’s, this fire control system was adopted for the T-72.

The system significantly improves the tank's vision capabilities, thanks to the commander's panoramic sight. It also features a high-quality thermal imaging gunner's sight, which allows the tank to effectively perform combat missions at night and in poor visibility conditions. By 2006, 122 TURMS kits were produced for the Syrian army.

"Mediocre missiles" - You do understand RB24J (AIM-9J) is still one of the best missiles in game currently second only really to Magic? Coupled with the Drakens speed and agility, even without countermeasures, it's near the top of the range in its BR bracket.

Sweden has been in game not even a full year yet and already has a very comprehensive ground and air tree with lots of unique vehicles. Fromhe get go, they had almost all of their domestically designed aircaft and ground vehicles. We cannot add everything for them within a span of 4 patches. They had a ton of vehicles developed for them and lots of work, but we also have to continue work on other nations as well as gradual additions for Sweden too.

Viggen is a highly capable multirole aircraft which will find it's way to War Thunder no doubt some time ahead. But Draken was only added 3 updates ago, its still a top performer and we have other things coming for ...

Continuing what’s new in the upcoming Dagor Engine 6.0, that will appear in the game with the release of the War Thunder update “New Power”. Today we would like to talk about the new effects for air battles!

In the release of the updated version of the Dagor graphics engine, major changes in the visual effects in aviation will come to War Thunder. New effects for shots and explosions, new physics of fire and the destruction of aircraft are coming in the next update of the game!

More on the website!

It's not actually "the" only reason, it's further explanation on top of the fact. We have new things Im development for all nations. It's just obvious that some nations have far more tech than others.

Also worth noting that before these 2 updates, Russia went quite a while without new tech too. Russia also has one of the largest playerbases In the game, so it's entirely illogical just to add nothing interesting for them or very popular machines that a lot of people want.

You can't keep looking at things from a single nation perspective.

The MiG-21bis is the most advanced massively produced version of the renowned Soviet Cold War era jet fighter. Soon, this top performing and highly anticipated jet fighter will make its way into the aerial battlefields of War Thunder with the release of the upcoming update “New Power”!

MiG-21bis, jet fighter, USSR, VI rank.

Pros

Cons

No countermeasures

History
...

Our consultants confirmed they are already checking countermeasure systems, but there are two factors here. 1) this photo alone is not great for implementing them. They need more to actually model it and get it's details right. They are conducting more research now. 2) it's beloved this spesific one was only fitted to later export Bis versions not used by the USSR, but possible some in the Afghan conflicts. But that needs to be verified first.

So that's why we don't have this spesific system right now on the Bis, there is not that much solid info, poor photographs and the question if weather this was the main Soviet operational system. If not then it still leaves open the suspended pods to be considered, but no aircraft in game currently has those including Jaguar GR.1 and the previous MiGs.

Im still unsure why people keep asking such questions after us making it clear we are not going to comment before announcement.

We already said there is no new Mirage coming this patch. Mirage IIIC is still performing extremely well too.

Its a Mirage IIIC

I don't believe I said anywhere that we had not already done that?

Again, a book and a photo dont tell the whole story. But im not sure why we are still discussing this since as I said, we are waiting on the consultants and developers to respond.

Its not my call to make

This is why as is clearly explained in the article.

You didn't make it up, its just not even of a MiG-21.

A picture of something does not mean all models had it and its not enough on its own. Anyway, let wait for their response.
