Weapons and vehicles of the "Forest Shadows" update

would be cool to see each nation gets their own suppressed weapons in the TT 10/10 update

NEW INFANTRY TOY!! also what is the classified as and what does the stat card look like all up? Either way very happy to see this. Surely we get an M1 Carbine Sawoff some day soon™ !!

FINALLY A BR3 FIGHTER FOR JAPAN IN THE TECH TREEE YESSSSSS MY BR3 LINE-UP LOOKING SO GOOD RIGHT NOW!! Very excited, I love my planes!

JAPAN FINALLY HAS ROCKETS! It may only be two of them but it’s much nicer than the zero we had before this. I feel like this might slightly overtierd and should maybe be BR4. But then again I could be completely underestimating it. Absolutely stunning, gorgeous.

As a die-hard Japan main this update looks incredible for that alone! Wonderful work Devs very excited!!

Edit: imo the carbine should really be classified as an SMG so it’s not completely overshadowed by the Hei Auto.

They should have just brought a premium version back for purchase.

Because the premium bonus is literally the only reason for why to play this vehicle over King Tiger.

Anyways i’m glad they added the M36 GMC but at tier V tho…ehhhhh tbh in my opinion they should have put it in BR 4…

I suspect they brought that in TT to prepare the subsequent implementation of something a tad exaggerated and power creep, the IS3, in the close future…

We will see.

I’m happy for Japan br3 plane at least.

Type 5 No.6 Mod.9 - War Thunder Wiki

Appears to be a worse Wfr.Gr.21.

Yeah with it’s crappy armor it should be BR4

Honestly both M36 and Jagdpanther should be BR4. JP is just a joke at BR5 that gets dunked by everyone no point in playing it’s premium i no longer use more than a single Tiger anyway as tanks are too weak at BR5 with everyone carrying fausts and jets spamming bombs 24/7.

@MajorMcDonalds I really appreciate all the latest additions! But a sawed-off M2 Carbine for Japan as a semi-auto? While the godly Type Hei Automatic Rifle exists? Please convey to the developers that we actually want something authentic for Japan. For instance, the Type 2 SMG chambered in the 6.5×30mm SR Type 95 Arisaka cartridge. This could have been an excellent AR for Japan and could provide some good competition to the ‘be all and end all’ Type Hei Automatic Rifle.

its a lot faster than the king tiger so i enjoy using it from time to time to get a long 88 to the point asap

Can we please stop bastardizing weapons and putting the result abominations in tech tree?

Just like with PPSh Obrez – captured, modified, ultra-rare experimental weapons that were not adopted by militaries or used in WW2 SHOULD NOT appear outside of events/gold orders/premiums.


Any sources Silenced PPSh-41 existed at all? @MajorMcDonalds

I think it a great update overall.
Great content for Japan.
Why is the the PPSH the only tech tree silenced weapon though?
Locking the other silenced weapons behind a pay wall seems unfair.
Please dont put the Jagdpanther in the same squad as the Tiger 2.
Please change the N1K2 to an attacker plane as Japan does not have a Br5 attcker plane.

Speaking of “japan finally have br 3 fighter” and “soviet bias/another 10 types of ppsh”…

Who want the Soviets actually have a BR IV plane?

They have IL2

But they’re br3 instead.

I think he also mentioned this in reply to your post.


He was referring to his original thread on this topic as well.

The craziest part is, not a single Soviet player asked for a new PPSh. Not one! It’s really bumming me out that faction are getting saddled with some new bias just because devs felt like it.

Or Japanese/western allies to have BR4 rifle.

I guess tech tree silenced ppsh and commander JP (…to make premium one less unique) were on higher priority.

This shouldn’t be BR 5 when you guys put a plane like Xa-38 in BR 3 and let’s not forget Kikka and ki 84 exist.
N1k2-J should be a BR 3

This update should have given all factions a TT silenced gun + Guerrilla II and then scout vehicles to go with a commando/reconnaissance theme. Maybe finally have added jeeps/Rider II.

Instead we get a bunch of copy + pasted vehicles from WT, yet another Soviet SMG (also how is this that different from BraMit?), and a copy paste M2C that will never be used because it competes with the Type Hei Auto…

We can forward it to devs, the M2A1 is a smg and the sawed off is a more compact version, so classifying it as an smg does make sense
