Community Update No.11: Nuclear Escalation, Sound Mods & More

[racimazzedine]

Oh…

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Well then it depends on what you mean by best missiles, 12.0 wouldn’t be top missiles I assume
Or well it would be top missiles of the game right now, but those are not the best we can get

Crazy questa foto.

[PierTrevi]

It won’t get the iris but i hope for the 9m at least.

[AydanL44_Hunter]

That would be very legit indeed

Missile Simulation Graph Window

will we be able to use this to bugreport if necessary?

We would also like to make a return to Nuclear Escalation, and it’s not that far away from coming back. Our current plan is to bring this mode back after the release of the next major update on a temporary basis. This will be to test, refine and make it as good as possible. It will return in a similar event layout as Bullet Hell and SEAD, whereby there are no tasks to obtain any reward vehicles. The two nuclear bombers will also not be available to use during the new event. This is because we’ll be testing this mode at a higher Battle Rating range, more nations, with different ground targets and some tweaks and improvements.

We’ll have some more detailed information coming soon in a news post where we’ll cover all the changes and event schedule, so keep an eye out for that!

Turm III Stabilization Update

In real life, the Turm III is a unique vehicle in that it has a 3-plane stabilizer. However, this is something we haven’t implemented into the game… until now!

Here is some more context from one of our programmers who worked on it:

Dev note: “Implementing the third-axis stabilization system was a moderately complex task that required both a custom trigonometric solution for three-axis orientation handling and deep integration with the Dagor engine aiming mechanics. The primary challenge was not the mathematics itself, but adapting the stabilization logic to support a highly unconventional control scheme while preserving precision and consistency. ”

With that said, in the next major update, the Turm III will get its 3-plane stabilizer, and will be the first tank in the game with this kind. In simple terms, this means the turret will now sit level, even when the vehicle itself is on an incline. This won’t be a radical change by any means, but it will make your shots more accurate in some cases, as the reticle will almost always stay vertical.

We’re inching closer and closer to eventual dual-plane modelling for missiles :')

Missile Simulation Graph Window

In principle, this new window works similarly to how the Shell parameters window works for tank shells. The Missile Simulation window allows you to see the telemetry of missiles in flight, including speed, distance covered, distance to targets, and overload. It also allows you to compare multiple missiles visually in a graph, learning how different missiles perform in flight compared to each other. Hovering over points on the graph in flight allows you to see the missile’s telemetry as well.

RIP Statshark, you had a good run

More Authentic MFD Screens

In addition to more detailed damage models, we’ve also worked on creating some more authentic MFDs (MultiFunction Displays) for aircraft, including the Tiger HAC, F/A-18s, F-15s, and more.

There’s hope for USA (and other) aircraft radar screens… I love that they’re actively working on this (and a really long list of other stuff concurrently)!

@magazine2

Vehicles You Can Expect

What can you expect in terms of vehicles in the next major? First off, let’s start with aircraft. For the USA, we’ll have a magic aircraft, with its namesake being able to communicate with spirits. Can you guess what it is?

The RAF Washington B.1 for Great Britain will be making an appearance, as well as another British aircraft which you’ll have to look out for, this one loves high altitudes! For other nations, there will be two revshare planes, some premium packs and some attack aircraft.

Next, let’s see what you can expect for ground vehicles. Japan will be receiving some Indonesian tanks, including the Leopard 2RI, while Sweden will be getting Norway’s NOMAD SAM! There’s still more ground vehicles coming, and all will be revealed soon…

Lastly, let’s take a look at Naval stuff. You can expect to see the Chervona Ukraina for the Soviets, plus the USS North Carolina for the USA. As with ground vehicles, there’s still more ships and boats coming, big and small, and all will be revealed in good time!

My cope is thinking B-2 Spirit, but that’s too easy.

I’ll take a British B-29 ;) As for the high alt thing… I know it’s not the Vulcan so… What could it be? :D

Also glad to see more naval content!

I have a really good feeling about this year’s updates ;)

What could it be? :D

It’s the Voodoo, it’s confirmed

We know we’re getting the Welkin

[Code_649]

Forgive me, I didn’t spoil myself by reading the replies to this post so I haven’t seen anything anyone else posted prior.

That’s good news, though!

[Mreowdako]

We are also getting the hot Leopard 2RI for Japan :D

[AydanL44_Hunter]

The voodoo being announced made my day tbh

[Code_649]

Also “new” Sweden SPAA :D

Everyone gets a Leopard these days… It’s the F-16 of tanks

[Mreowdako]

Everyone gets a Leo2! and an Abrams sooner or later! :D

[kalwart]

F-101 Voodoo :)

[Blue_Canadian]

Any update on the timeline for the United Korean Tree(s)?

[Mreowdako]

in the next 1000 years

[HarvestPyre]

I’m ambivalent about all of it.

[Pheonix_RX01]

You mean worse Elde? Woot oh my God I love tearing my finger nails off. Good job gaijin we totally asked for this

[magazine2]

The cockpit is the AMX’s, but the MFD screen is from a new aircraft that is planned to come in the next major update. We had to do that because the MFD screen was ready before the cockpit for the new aircraft was ready. We didn’t mean to confuse anyone by doing it this way tho, sorry if it’s confusing :)
