Tusk Force Update Info & Supporter Tier Price Update
🕑 Added 2025-09-23 13:21:46 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I hope you're all doing well.
As usual, I'm making this post as the new major update for War Thunder drops to announce what to expect with this next update to IASM.
Firstly, the compatibility issues. Gaijin has once again reworked their missile sounds and also their countermeasures sounds. This means that these sounds will not function correctly for the time being with my mod. A quick fix for this is to delete both the "aircraft_guns" files from my mod. This means that you'll lose the "Chaff, Flare" voiceline for NATO betty, but you'll at least be able to use the rest of IASM and avoid issues with these new sounds. Furthermore, you can also expect the newly added (non-copy & paste) aircraft to have missing engine and possibly missing gun sounds. These issues will be fixed in the next update to IASM which as usual, I'll be able to work on once Gaijin updates their Sound Repository for modders.
Now, what's next? In this update I'll be continuing work on the implementation of helicopter RWRs to the Multi-RWR System. You can expect the Eurocopter and Chinese helicopters to receive their own RWRs. Besides that, you can also expect improvements for other sounds, such as the MiG-29 RWR and possibly the MiG-21. That's not everything though, and you'll be able to read the full changelog when the update drops.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support over the last years. I created this mod for personal use back in September of 2023, and never imagined it would be loved by as many people as it has to this day. Truly, thank you, and I'm super glad to have been able to create a mod that you all enjoy. Since the addition of the Multi-RWR system last year, the workload has increased significantly with each new addition and update. As some of you know, to keep the mod compatible with other mods, I'm unable to use masterbanks whilst developing the mod. Due to this, I have to entirely recreate the sound mod on the newly updated builds from the ground up after every War Thunder major update. This and sourcing realistic/immersive sounds, or creating sounds from scratch, has made development become more time consuming in the last year. Due to this reason, I will be increasing the Supporter tier price from €2 to €4 to better reflect the work going into it. The mod has expanded significantly content and feature wise since I originally launched this page at €2 over a year ago. With these extra funds, I'm also looking to expand the uniqueness of different aircraft by, for example, hiring professional and accurate voice actors to recreate the UK voice warning system, but also for other nations/aircraft.
I look forward to continuing my work and adding new unique sounds and functionality to the mod as time goes on, especially while Gaijin continues expanding the tech trees with new modern aircraft.
Anyway, that's all for now, and I wish you all a great rest of your day! :)

I’ll be looking into French voiced VWS as well yes
Arnyx
More than happy to pay a little extra money for this mod, especially if it means we can get the VWS for the Eurofighter and Rafale
VikoHusky
Yes, as far as I can tell. If you run into any other issues, of course, feel free to let me know

The price was too cheap imo. This mod deserves every penny. So apart from chaff-flare and missle/engine sounds everything will work fine?

The price increase, especially if cleverly taken advantage of for expansion of IASM, would be so worth it. It’s already adding a lot more diversification to the top tier jets atm, so please keep at it. Thank you.
