WELCOME to the War Thunder Rumor Round-Up and Discussion Thread!

Here you can discuss everything related to the upcoming major update, including rumors, data mines, and dev blogs.

 

However, please AVOID these types of discussions:

 

Wishlisting. Some examples:

  • "I want the F-22 next update!"
  • "Gaijin where are these vehicles!!!" <lists 10 vehicles they want in the game>

There's a separate thread for this here.

 

Vehicle spec discussions, such as armour, ammo, ordnance, guns, data sheets, performance. Some examples:

  • "I hope for these vehicles, they will balance the game. They have XYZ ordnance and will counter the !"
  • 2 page discussions about what type of ammo a new tank in a dev blog will get. Now this is fine for the most part since a vehicle in the dev blog is part of the next update, however it can escalate into completely other discussions so do be careful!

There's plenty of threads for these discussions here.

 

Bug reports, issues, suggestions, feedback for dev-server or testing. Some examples:

  • "Abrams is missing its thermals. However that's not meant to be as it had this historically. Smin fix this!!!"
  • "I think that Challenger 3 would be a good addition to British Ground tree, here are the specs for it"
  • "This thing is bugged on the dev server, devs please fix it!"

You can make a bug report here and suggestion here. When the dev server is up, use the DEV Server Section for feedback.

 

Not avoiding these example discussions will mean your post is likely to be hidden by a moderator. Any continuation after that might mean you get a warning.

You must remember that this is the most popular and active thread on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next update's information in one place so it can be discussed amongst the community. Other discussions like outlined in the examples above can be discussed in proper forum sections. Often official Gaijin members will respond on this thread so do be sure to remain respectful! Otherwise they may just stop. Please also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on what may be coming. If you follow the forum rules, you'll be okay!

 

Please use the La Royale Thread to discuss Major Update "La Royale". Complaining here won't solve anything and is considered off-topic.

 

 

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is this thread about?

A:  This thread is about the upcoming major update and future content.

 

Q: Will you add...?

A: No. We are not developers, just nosy players.

 

Q: Why isn't [vehicle] on the list?

A: Either because there is no evidence that this vehicle will be added, or because no one told me that there is such evidence.

 

Q: Why is [vehicle/feature] on the Denied list?

A: Because said feature or vehicle was denied by Gaijin developers or their representatives at some point in the past.

 

Q: Where did my post go?

A: Off-Topic comments will often be hidden (not deleted) to keep this thread readable and on topic. No need to be alarmed or comment on the disappearing post(s), if concerned then PM Forum Moderators or Seniors.

 

Q: When will we get the patch?

A: Currently the next major update is planned for September 2023, as revealed here.

 

Q: What if I don't want to read all these pages to find out what will come?

A: Read the OP. I and other moderators will frequently update it with new information.

As far as I can remember, this has been here for maybe 6 years. How likely is stuff like this to arrive any time soon? Anyone remember when it first appeared? And did we ever see any of the old models appear in game? Ever?

@TheElite96 There have been a few hint's to upcoming content in the road maps.

 

1. Rank 8 ground 

 

2. A new nation.

Spoiler

Currently, War Thunder features 10 playable nations, and we have no intentions of stopping there! However, as we introduce new nations, it becomes increasingly challenging to capture the attention of veteran players.

 

They have already traversed the ranks multiple times, and therefore, each new journey through a different tree becomes less captivating. To address this, we plan on implementing a system to alleviate the situation.

 

If a player has a top vehicle in a vehicle branch within one nation, they will receive a RP bonus when researching the equivalent branch of other nations. In the research tree, certain vehicles will be marked as "top" vehicles for each nation at any given time. Once a player gets one of these vehicles, they will receive an RP bonus when researching other nations where they haven't yet obtained the top vehicles. The size of the bonus will depend on the rank being researched and will be applicable for the first three battles played each day. The preliminary bonus for each rank will be: For rank IV +15% For rank V + 25% For rank VI + 35% For ranks VII and VIII + 50%

 

These are our initial plans, but we may adjust them by the time the new mechanics have been introduced. We plan to add these bonuses in a future major update, planned for October-November 2023

 

I believe this is solid evidence we are getting a new nation in the October update.

I was secretly hoping next quarter dev consider new aircraft 11.0 from french navy under F-8EN line or under F-100D line, new aircraft 10.7 or 11.3 from ROCAF or PLAAF under Q-5L
and new aircraft 12.0 with targeting pod & Air-to-Ground ordiance better Tornado IDS (1995) for Italy & new aircraft 12.0 from USN/USMC better A-7E in USA tech tree

So yeah, Now Israel & Japan no heavyweight 4th gen fighter aircraft 12.0 toptier with AIM-7

just because they mentioned "we arent stopping here" doesnt mean its a solid proof for a new nation...
