In this episode I look at where in the tech tree the new aircraft will be placed in patch 1.43.
This will hopefully allow players to prioritise which line to grind down so they can unlock the new aircraft faster, or stop new aircraft "blocking" them from getting to existing aircraft they want.
Please note this may not include all the aircraft for patch 1.43, with the Lancaster only being announced as I was recording, but I will try and update the video if any are added.

00:00Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of War Thunder.
00:04Something a little different today, it's sort of related to the tech trees that we've been told we're getting, and patch 1.3.
00:13Basically I was sort of inspired to do this video because whenever you get another patch, obviously you usually get more aircraft.
00:20And I was actually reading that someone on another forum, they'd been trying to get the P-80, and they'd got the P-63.
00:28They were just about to get the P-51, and then the F-82 was introduced.
00:33So they got to P-51 basically the same day the patch came out, but they then had to wait another day to unlock enough aircraft to get to the P-80.
00:41So I'm just sort of doing a video, I've been looking through the questions and answers that Lassa has been doing in the dev blog.
00:50So I'm just doing a video to sort of find out where in the tech tree these aircraft are going to be.
00:57Which I haven't been able to find out for all of them, I don't think all the aircraft have been announced 100%.
01:04Some of the answers are pretty vague as well.
01:07But this is basically to just help people avoid having aircraft put in front of them.
01:14To try and get down the tree in a more efficient way to get to the aircraft they want.
01:19So I suppose without further ado, let's begin.
01:22Now the first aircraft on the list I've got here is the F-2H.
01:26It hasn't actually been, well I think it's been confirmed it'll come before the F-9F.
01:30I don't know if it was confirmed, I think Lassa said it would make logical sense.
01:36So I'm going to assume he's right in that it comes before the F-9F.
01:41So if you're trying to get to the F-9Fs, be aware you may get an extra aircraft put in the way in the form of the F-2H.
01:48Other American aircraft, I know the Americans are getting the B-57.
01:53I think it's the B-57, the Canberra aircraft built in America.
01:58I assume it'll go on the bomber line, because the bomber line sort of has attackers and bombers.
02:03You can see here the A-20 is an attacker, it's in the bomber line.
02:08Other American aircraft, the F-7F.
02:11Now I think it hasn't been said where it'll go in the line-up, like where it'll go in the line-up's order.
02:18But I'm pretty sure they said it would go against jets, so probably after the F-8F.
02:24I don't know if the F-8F actually goes against jets, I haven't actually unlocked them yet as you can see.
02:31I think the lowest jet battle rating is Yak-15 at 5.3.
02:37Bearcat's 5, the Canon one 6.3.
02:41I suppose it could go about the same place as the F-8F, or I'd expect it to go just after maybe.
02:47But again, they haven't actually said where it'll go, so I can't really say where it'll go exactly.
02:54Now moving on to the Germans, the Germans are getting a few aircraft.
02:58It's the Halton 229.
03:00I believe that's definitely going in the Me-410 heavy fighter line.
03:04So, not too hard to get I don't think.
03:07I mean you've got the Bf-110-3, lots of Dorniers, and a few Me-410, and then you get to the Me-410B-6.
03:18Assuming there's no other aircraft put on this line.
03:21It should just be a simple straight run to the Halton.
03:30The only thing that would be holding you back is whether you've got the right tiers unlocked.
03:35Because obviously after the Me-410 it would be the Halton 229, but because I'm not tier 5 I wouldn't be able to research it yet.
03:43But yeah, I don't know what other aircraft the Germans are getting.
03:47I'm not entirely sure if they are getting any other aircraft.
03:50They might be getting some bombers, but I haven't heard it mentioned.
03:53So I'll have to keep looking, but I don't think they're getting any other aircraft.
03:59So I think that's the Germans done.
04:02So we'll quickly move on to the Russian line.
04:05They're getting a few aircraft.
04:07The R-28.
04:09Now surprisingly enough this is actually going under the attacker line.
04:13So the R-10s, which kind of surprised me.
04:15I thought it would come under the bomber line.
04:18But no, apparently it's going to come under the attackers.
04:21So hopefully if you've been grinding the bombers hoping to get to the R-10, get to the R-28.
04:27This will hopefully help you to quickly get down the attacker line, or switch to the attacker line.
04:33You can see here I've only got the R-10 1946 left to unlock.
04:38So again, like the Halton it would be a relatively straight dart to the R-28.
04:45But again, you have to have the right tiers unlocked.
04:48There are a few other Russian aircraft.
04:50I don't think it's been said where they're going.
04:52There's an I-16.
04:54I can't remember if it's the Type 5.
04:57I'm assuming it would be before the I-16.
05:00I don't know too much about it at the moment.
05:04The devlog mentions it's less maneuverable, but higher rate of climb and speed.
05:09It depends on what would be seen as a more advantageous characteristic.
05:16I'd say it would go in the I-16.
05:19Maybe they'd group it together sort of thing.
05:22Or maybe it would be grouped together with the I-16s in Tier 1, rather than the Tier 2 one.
05:27Yeah, not really sure where that would go.
05:30But it definitely wouldn't be any higher than Tier 2, I'd say.
05:33So it should already have gone past it.
05:36Other aircraft the Russians are getting.
05:39The Yak-9. I believe that's the early version.
05:42So probably below the Yak-9U and the Yak-9P.
05:46Again, it could be with the Yak-9T. I forgot about them ones.
05:51You probably would have had it unlocked already, I suppose.
05:54I'm sort of struggling to remember what the Yak-9 was.
05:58Because I did it in the Tech Tree Analysis series.
06:01But I've sort of forgotten what it was.
06:04But I can't see it being that high a tier.
06:07Although, just looking at the dev blog, I'd quickly pause the video.
06:10It said it would be appearing in its earliest version.
06:13So, yeah, probably a lower tier aircraft.
06:16The other aircraft on here is the Yak-1.
06:19It wasn't actually confirmed as such.
06:22They put a cockpit model up.
06:24Someone asked last summer, I'm not sure how long ago, if it would be appearing in the game.
06:29In the Yak-1.
06:31I believe he confirmed it would be.
06:33Now, the Yak-1, again, I'm sort of forgetting what I said in the series analysis.
06:38It only had something like one 20mm cannon and 12.7mm machine gun.
06:42So, again, I'm guessing it would be a lower tier aircraft.
06:45Once you get to tier 3, they all have higher calibre machine guns.
06:49Well, the Yak-9U has a 20mm cannon and two machine guns.
06:55So I suppose it could go anywhere from low tier 4 to tier 1.
07:00Tier 2, I suppose.
07:03It's a 1940 aircraft, so I assume it would be lower rather than higher.
07:07But, again, they haven't really said where it will go.
07:10I've only found the post saying it was confirmed to be in the game.
07:13So, yeah, not sure where that would go exactly.
07:17Now, quickly moving on to the British.
07:19Britain's getting a few aircraft.
07:21Well, they've confirmed that the Fleet Air Arm will get its own line.
07:26So, not sure how that will work exactly.
07:30So, some of the aircraft will go in the Fleet Air Arm line.
07:35I think you'd probably have to start that line off from scratch
07:38because they've said they're going to keep the Sea Meteor in the Meteor line for a while.
07:43So that's going to stay where it is.
07:45And they've also said there's going to be at least two aircraft per tier.
07:49Aircraft going in the Fleet Air Arm line.
07:51The Barracuda Mark II, the Sea Hawk and the Sea Fury.
07:56The Sea Meteor will eventually, but for the moment, awful.
08:00It says for some time it will stay in the Meteor line.
08:03There's also a few other aircraft, but I'm not sure where they will exactly go,
08:09if they'd go in there.
08:11The Hornet will go in the Heavy Fighter line.
08:15Well, there's only a few Heavy Fighters.
08:17There's Bow Fighters, Mosquito and the Vampire.
08:21The Hornet was actually produced after the Mosquito.
08:24They haven't actually said where it will go in the Heavy Fighter lines.
08:28It would either be just before the Mosquito or just after.
08:32I'm not entirely sure.
08:34I think it served longer than the Mosquito.
08:36But again, they haven't really confirmed where it would go,
08:39so I can't really comment too much on that.
08:42Also, the Hunter will be going on the Hawker line.
08:46I assume that would be the Hurricane, Typhoon and Tempest lines.
08:51Again, people may have abandoned this line a little bit,
08:55once they started to grind towards the Jets.
08:59If you want the Hunter though, you will probably have to start grinding up that line to get to it.
09:04We should also be getting the Venom FV4.
09:08I'm guessing it's going to go in the Fighter Bomber line,
09:11probably just before or after the Vampire.
09:13I think it would be after the Vampire.
09:16I think it was literally, unless I'm mistaken,
09:19it flew literally days before the Cut-Off date.
09:22Late 1953.
09:24Well, there's a bit of confusion.
09:26Some give the Cut-Off date as the end of the Korean War,
09:30some give it as the end of 1953.
09:32But it flew in late December 1953.
09:35So, I'm not entirely sure.
09:37I assume it will come after the Vampire.
09:39But we'll have to check, I suppose, if any other information comes up.
09:44Now, I was about to go on to the Japanese line,
09:47but I've just gone and checked the dev blog.
09:48Well, I actually did go on to the Japanese, finished out recording it,
09:51and then I went and checked the dev blog,
09:52and another aircraft's been announced.
09:54The Lancaster B Mark I.
09:56As well as updates for the Mark III.
09:58The Mark III's going to get 14 1,000 pound bombs, I believe.
10:02And the B Mark I, it carries 8,000 pounds worth of bombs or so.
10:08About 3,440 were built.
10:10I believe it was the main variant, unless I'm mistaken.
10:13It's going to have four turrets.
10:14Well, sorry, four turrets.
10:16Three turrets, two machine guns on the nose and dorsal,
10:21or top gunner, and four on the back.
10:23So, where would that go?
10:26I assume it would go before the Mark III.
10:29Because it's probably, if it would have an inferior bomb load,
10:33I assume it would go before the Mark III.
10:36I had heard somewhere it might be a premium.
10:38I don't know if that was from Lassar or somewhere else.
10:42I'll give an update if I find anything else about that.
10:46I've actually been compiling a list from all the Q&As that Lassar's been doing.
10:50Have a look through there, see if he mentioned it.
10:53But yeah, so the Lancaster B Mark I.
10:55I assume it'll be coming in 1.3.
10:57I don't think they'd announce it otherwise.
11:00But yeah, so that'll probably come before the Mark III.
11:03The Mark I will, probably.
11:05So that could put an extra barrier between the Canberra.
11:08Assuming it's in the Bomberline.
11:10I doubt it would go in the Attackerline or the Fighterbomberline.
11:14But yeah, so just look out for that, really.
11:17And last but not least, we've got the Japanese.
11:21They're getting a few aircraft.
11:24I suppose, first of all, where have I written it down?
11:27The A6M3s...
11:30Sorry, the A6M5s.
11:32The A6M5 and the Otsu.
11:34And the M1K2Js are going to be grouped together.
11:38And the A6Ms are going to be moved to Tier 3.
11:41With the M1K2Js staying in Tier 4.
11:45Now the J7W, I believe, is going in the Fighterbomberline here.
11:49I believe they're grouping them together so you don't have a ridiculous amount of aircraft to go through.
11:54So the J7W1 will be going in the Fighterbomberline.
11:58I believe the Kika, I think I've pronounced it right, will also be going in the Fighterbomberline.
12:04There's also a bit of a surprise for the R2Y2.
12:08Again, it's going in the Attackerline, after the B7A2.
12:13So it should be really easy to start grinding for them aircraft.
12:17There's only four aircraft in that line.
12:19The F1M2, the D3A1, the B5N2 and the B7A2.
12:24But again, the only problem will be, there will be a bit of a jump from Tier 3 to 5.
12:30There may be some other aircraft being added in for the Japanese.
12:33I believe it was mentioned, the Ki-27, but I couldn't find it in the dev blog.
12:39I think it might have been in the dev blog, but literally just before the tech trees came out.
12:45Just I'm pausing the video, I went and added a little look.
12:48It did come out just before the tech trees were released.
12:52So that'll probably come...
12:54I assume that'll be a Tier 1 aircraft between the Ki-10 and the Ki-43.
12:59Speaking of the Ki-43, we'll be getting the Ki-43-1.
13:03I assume that'll be grouped together with the Ki-43-2.
13:06So again, shouldn't be causing any problems.
13:08I really don't think it'll be causing that many problems.
13:12Now like I said, this is just looking at aircraft when they've announced the line, where it'll be on the line.
13:19Like I said, not all the aircraft have actually been announced.
13:22The Lancaster Mark... Where is it?
13:26Lancaster Today, literally. Yes, I was recording this.
13:29I'm just going to have to edit that into the British line discussion.
13:35Like I said, this isn't representative of where they will all be, or all the aircraft.
13:42I'm pretty sure there's a few that they haven't announced.
13:44I think Japan might be getting a premium as well, I could be wrong.
13:48But yeah, I just wanted to do this video to help people.
13:51Because like I said, people on other forums have been almost getting to the aircraft they wanted,
13:58and then having another aircraft shoved in front of it.
14:02So this is just to help people avoid that.
14:05I tried to do this as early as I can.
14:09It was a bit difficult, because I didn't want to do it too late,
14:13because it wouldn't be able to help people.
14:14But I didn't want to do it too early, because it wouldn't have all the information and all the aircraft.
14:19Like I said, the Lancaster was only added today.
14:21If I'd done this a few hours earlier, then that would have been missing from the video.
14:26So yeah, just a little something to help people.
14:30I will try and add in annotations or in the description any other aircraft added.
14:35Leave in the comments if you've got any aircraft that have been mentioned that I've missed.
14:39I'm actually going through all the Q&As that Lassar did,
14:42and sort of writing a big list of all the aircraft he's mentioned, what's been done to them.
14:47It's taken me a long time.
14:49I don't know if I'll do that in video form,
14:51because obviously that's a thing that's done every two or three days, those questions.
14:55So it would go out of date pretty quickly.
14:58But yeah, thank you for watching.
15:00Leave feedback, I could always do it with more feedback.
15:03Leave likes, subscribe if you like the video.
15:05Like if you like the video, subscribe if you like these sort of videos.
15:08And yeah, I'll see you next time.
15:10So, thank you for watching.
