AI convoys appearing distance

Is this changed? Now i see AI tank and vehicles only when they are almost under my nose. Very hard find them.

PS: Definitely something is changed lately. The visibility circle seems to be narrowed. And absolutely, they sometimes will go deep underwater. Terribly glitched at moment!

Depends on the maps. Some maps like New Guinea or Stalingrad had always delayed markers for ground units. Another delayed markers for own columns (…Gol map).

I noticed in some matches the distance of passive spotting of enemies by own ai planes is almost non existent - meaning that my distance to my own ai planes was too large. I appreciate this, but i see no consistency - we had something similar last year.

AI targets are a neverending story…
Wrong shade of color, driving with mach 1, driving in the air or under water, driving at steep hills. Planes drawing circles, hiding to map border. Don’t forget about flying hills,buildings or trees.

Yesterday I saw an enemy beneath me shooting at AI planes. Then he disappears completely, no marker no dot. Seconds later he reappears. Watched the replay, he was beneath 1km all the time.

Yes, they changed it to fuck with the bomber players
While on some maps you drop the bombs right on the forehead but dealt no AI kills or even hit marker.

GJN changed something, definitly.
I noticed it today on several maps, Sinai, Rocky Pillars, Kamtschatka, at 9.7. While static ground targets still spotted through half the map, the convois get spotted only at 6km ish. GJN also changed the shade of color to light, in the past this was for targets don’t bleeding tickets.

As I said, it’s a total mess…

Lately, I’m afraid of every update. As example: Why did they have to change the crew skill selection menu? Did they forget the old saying: ‘Don’t fix what isn’t broken’?

Changed the layout for no reason, but still kidding the players by magically pulling some brackets in half.

They changed it so the UI devs can have an excuse to keep their jobs.

I used to bomb entire convoys, hit and run, now i fly over the column without seeing it. If it is not bug, then it is just malicious, IMO. OFC one cannot bomb them when they drive on the bottom of the sea or river as well.

BTW, is this change in any update description? It is HUGE.

I mean in this economy and inflation. You bet, I’m gonna hold on my job

I reinstalled the game to make sure the glitches and features weren’t on my side. No - everything works as intended: graphical glitches and this outright malevolent convoy appearing distance nerf.

The howitzers in the assaults are the same. They don’t appear until you are within 2 km of them.

Today I went to bomb a convoy, and it appeared right under me. This only happens at BR 9+, and if it was done to reduce the effectiveness of bombing at higher tiers, then it’s a pretty malevolent nerf indeed.

But there are still issues that are outright glitches: convoys drive under the sea and through rivers, even passing under bridges. On one map, hill was flattened, but trees are now floating in the air. These problems remain unaddressed, while new premiums keep getting spammed almost every week. I am getting to disillusioned
