1.97 Rumor Round-Up and Discussion

Couldn’t that one only fire nuclear missiles :D

The first 35 F-89Js were equipped with the D's wingtip rocket pod (as the Js were essentially remanufactured Ds) with 104 proxy-fuze FFARs and two MB-1 Ding Dong / AIR-2 Genie nuclear missiles on outer pylons. The remainder were equipped with four GAR-2A / AIM-4C Falcon air-to-air missiles on 2-2 inner pylons, plus the two Genie on outer pylons. Later they came to the conclusion, that keeping the Falcons on pylons will harm them, as the elements will ruin the electronics and cause malfunctions. Their solution to this was to simply abandon them, so in most of its service life, the F-89J was indeed only armed with the Genie, although imo War Thunder doesn't necessarily have to represent it, and rather use the early variants.

Mmh ok thanks for the info. On the model it looks like it doesn't have the outer pylon rockets so maybe it will have the falcon missiles.

@magazine2

You only put the F-89C (30mm) in the main post, but forgot about the F-89C (rockets only). :p:

Also currently the F-8E(FN) lacks a source in the main post. It's the same as the F-8A's source, so just copying it over should be enough.

Added that, thanks.

I don't think we can see modern Chinese tanks such as type99A, type96A or type 15 in the next few patches, as Gaijin never seriously thought about making a enjoyable Chinese tech tree. They only want to grab more money from those ignorant Chinese players.

Just a heads-up: You swapped them: Intruder is the bottom one, Pandora is the top one. They are confusing, aren't they? 

Ah darn, was late and I just dumped the pictures in there without doing a control afterwards. Corrected.

 

Best regards,

Phil

And that's pretty much a doom loop Gaijjn has gotten themselves in! 

 

They decided to rush out China without any of their interesting MBTs and other vehicles and Anti-Air. So of course the interest on this tech-tree isn't that big, meaning the sales on this poorly chosen T-62 premium most likely weren't so good or after the first initial batch of sales it stagnated really quickly. And now Gaijin thinks people aren't interested in China and/or that it simply doesn't sell good enough, so the development of Chinese vehicles will be really slow, further lowering the interest of potential player to this tree. 

 

And because of this I really 1.97 won't have Swedish tanks in it and it will rather be an Aircraft and China focused update. At least the first ZTZ99 and Radar SPAA seem plausible

Could be, as the video is from December 2017, and the P.9 was released in March 2018. Maybe we really did overthink it.

Can we have also some new reward vehicles for squads? Four is a small number, especially since it is worth buying only the Me-262, maybe also this British plane.

 

the place for  that and the Wall-E is the best one

Nearly all greyed vehicles can still be viewed in CDK (except the German B-24D and IL-4, and the Chinese B-24M, because they are outdated. The H-75A-5, A-6, A-7 and M were never in the international CDK, only in the Chinese one. They only have FM/DM files, like so many others.):

Any new leaks on fixing spawns in game for high tier battles? Or adding the supposed "carrier" update to the ingame models? Adding Sams to air rb at top tier matches or atleast make aa somewhat effective at aircraft going mach 1? This game really needs to update small stuff like this. Having 1 mini update per year that just focuses on improving stuff like this wouldn't kill anybody and would improve player retention. Also any map reworks?

The only rumors connected to 1.97 are the 4 Apache models found in 1.95, with the AH-64A Peten's (and thus the update's) supposed release date of 10 March 2020 (Australian PSN Store, not just a random website: https://archive.md/yGXHc), and the F-4EJ Kai (see main post).

If they have only started research on the F-4EJ Kai then there is practically no chance of it coming in 1.97 (or probably for a couple of patches afterwards)

From previous blogs that I have in mind, I think when the Japanese website says "we've started research," it usually means it's very near completion.

A year ago a similar DMM article was posted on December 31 2018 about the Type 74 (G), and it came in 1.87. The F-4EJ Kai article was posted on December 31 2019, so it's not that unreasonable to expect it in 1.97.
