CM Covert Disclosures No.5: Major Update Prologue

[Cpt_Frakk]

Fancy -fancy and in firstly i missed it but you have the point, the interface contain it… but the information blurred together thanks to the Style(light grey font color which make some part easily miss.)

The main problem is the rows not separated , based on font color hard to detect the headers and the headers not separated.

Angle of attack with chance of a ricochet

’(its a subtitle blurred together with ‘Armor penetration’ title) Should be set to Center, White font color, bold and highter font size than other subtitles or values.

Text should be ‘Angle of attack with chance of a ricochet(Angle-Chance)’ to be more clear.

Main Title:

Armor Penetration

→ should send to Center, Change Font Color to White and should be Bold to separate it from other low rank headher. Highter font size than other subtitles or values.

High Explosive fragmentation +Icon

–>Header 1 or Header 2. Role title. Send to Center, Font color White.

Value: example 48mm → Font color White, Left selected

Cumulative jet(Penetration -Angle of attack)+Icon

-->Header 1 or Header 2. Role title. Send to Center, Font color White.

Value table looks clear and good.

Kinetic(Angle of attack/Distance)+icon

—>Header 1 or Header 2. Role title. Send to Center, Font color White.
Value table looks clear and good.

No you just don’t understand how it works

It even still says 850mm pen at the top

[Cpt_Frakk]

Thanks for your answer, but the gamemaster showed and explained in the comment above that it still contains the information that was lost in the details.

The other is based on a vehicle we have already but with a completely different weapons system which should change how it plays entirely, keep an eye out for them over the coming months!

Obj 781A/781B, 782, 787, 199 or BMPT-72 “Terminator 2”

[Gale_Cleven]

Just a curious question: What is the difference between the AIM-9M from the AIM-9X?

[PercussionCap]

The 9X is pretty much an entirely new missile. Comparing the 2 is kinda futile.

[teo_storm1]

In future, will we finally get mechanics for differential transmissions and other similar systems?

It is quite strange to see modern MBT’s still relying on clutch braking despite that having being phased out decades ago for most.

Vehicle hint

Speaking of things to come. We can say that one vehicle in the next major is definitely causing a buzz. We know a great many of you will be eager to get your hands on it and leave your opponents with a real stinging sensation!

Bismarck?

@magazine2

The next two event vehicles are a ship and ground vehicle respectively. The namesake of one of them is a place quite close to our German office as a bit of a clue.

Well, cruiser Karlsruhe already ingame?!? Or do we get the 1914 one?

[Rupert64]

its the actual event-ship “Strasbourg” which is quite close to Karlsruhe

[Thodin]

Thx, I missed this.

[BSpiel8]

@Thodin

Bismarck?

F/A-18

[Apollo_1641]

@Gale_Cleven

What is the difference between the AIM-9M from the AIM-9X?

AIM-9X improvements over AIM-9M:

Block I (2003)
-thrust vectoring (maneuverable, IIRC 60G)
-high off-boresight (target enemy 90° to any side)
-imaging infrared (can tell target and flares apart)
-lower drag, higher speed and range

Block II (2008)
-datalink (lock on after launch, for long range)
-can fire at targets behind launching aircraft

Here’s a demo video

AIM-9x SIDEWINDER Trial

Well, it’s not wrong: [Event] Get the FIAT 6614 FIROS in the Rocket Storm Event! - News - War Thunder

[magazine2]

Indeed! It was the FIAT 6614 FIROS that we were talking about.

Of course, that’s the Hornet, but let’s be honest: It could have been a De Havilland Mosquito :)

[AydanL44100]

was that phantom remote controlled? Ain’t no way they used a manned aircraft as a dummy

[RunaDacino]

Description calls it a drone, so yes - remote controlled or prepropgrammed.

[Caernarvon02]

the USAF has used drone fighters for missile tests for decades at this point

[magazine2]

This bug has plagued the game for a long time now. Essentially, if you played a battle in a vehicle and left before it was finished and then went into another battle and used the same vehicle, the RP earned in the first battle could be lost if the modification you were researching was completed when the second battle finished.

It hasn’t been simple to fix this bug — it has been complex and we can say having looked at our internal report it has been looked at and worked on for quite some time now. But we’re pleased to say there is light at the end of the tunnel, and a fix is currently in testing; as of now, it looks like a fix for this bug will be made.

This one we mentioned has been fixed:

Server Update 13.03.2025 - Updates - Game - War Thunder

related to this part…
" Inventory item recycling

Let’s first take a look at one feature that was part of the Roadmap: inventory item recycling! This one has been in development for some time now and we’re finally able to show you some screenshots and describe how it works.

Currently only on internal Gaijin accounts for testing, it works by selecting items you want to recycle from your inventory, then recycling them, and then creating them into a new item at random in the ratio of 2:1. The newly created item goes into your inventory as normal.

The CM team has been testing it, recycling items and getting some random boosters, wagers, backups and orders from the process! This new feature will be available for testing on the open dev server and if there are no major problems it will be released in the major update.

"

…What if just simply remove expiration date from boosters? It provide more benefit for us than recycling… This sounds like again an over complicated solution with a huge amount of wasted resource.
