do you know if there’s any whispers in Gaijin HQ about possibly making those things match the player’s selected units? Or adding a feature that changes the units by gamemode?
Not that I know of.
considering they just planted fake units JHMCS on j10 with hud in real units… unsure
Why is Britain not getting a new Harrier GR.5 premium
TBF, they havent got the best track record for making good british premiums. The last one we had was the gr 1 for top tier and we all know what happened there lol. The lightning was only good because it could get to the bases fast and it got rockets (It was fully deserved nerfing rocket base damage but could they have waited untill after the f14 event). The sea vixen WAS good but they nerfed the red tops shortly after instead of just moving it up. I think a good premium would be something south african, would actually be a unique jet do bring that would offer a playstyle other than just more strike aircraft in disgues. The indian mig 21 was an okay idea but it was a bit controversial.

That’s a start at least. FA2 does need it the most, but I hope the FRS1 gets fixed. Buc S2B is lovely that it got that
I saw that and took it into an ARB match but it still used bands
oh it’s dev :P
Yeah, it was
A question about the HUD symbology, @Gunjob, if I may ask: Will the Velocity Vector (flight path marker) of this or any HUD work correctly eventually in War Thunder?

Do the velocity vectors not currently work?
Would have to test again, but I do not know a single HUD in WT where the Velocity Vector acts correctly.
The VV’s aircraft symbols all are fixed to the centerline, apparently, and not actually point where the aircraft is going…

Never seen any of them work either, recently went on to the wiki to check some things and apparently we dont even have any Velocity Vectors in game only “Aircraft Symbol” whatever thats supposed to be.
@Schindibee @EggyMan I’m pretty sure the A-7 HUD has a velocity vector. You can see in this screenshot that my aircraft is pitched up at 40° with the velocity vector at 35° and the HUD is reading 35°.
No, that’s really just a fixed aircraft symbol. Look a this screenshot for example:
Note the cockpit’s variometer: I’m descending, but the flight path marker still points steadily at the sky?!?
Note also how the horizon bar is way above the horizon actually.
In comparison, see this A-7 instruction video (especially 11:20 onward), and note how horizon bar is fixed to the actual horizon (slightly offset here because of parallax of the slightly lower HUD camera than pilot’s eye line), and stays there, and the velocity vector actually pointing where the aircraft is heading to (here: the runway threshold):

Pretty sure what is happening here is that with Aircraft is that instructor flies to point the Barrel Reference Line (Gun) at the point of aim, not the nose of the aircraft, so basically they make it fly nose up and so the HUD is effectively offset slightly.
