Community Update No.12: Keeping You Updated On What We’re Working on!

lol

As we mentioned, due to exploitability, this feature is not present in sim.

Please work the BR for all 3 13.0 F-14s

Hopefully you’ll disable explosion of ordnance. As long as internal or wing pylon ordnance explodes with the slightest cal50 hit, every bomber is doomed from the start.

Right now you see them explode midair every single time. One bomber…spray spray …ka-booom. Huge midair explosion killing the bomber and everything nearby. Very “nice” and “realistic” (lol) mechanic.

Great to have new MFDs. This is great to have for sim players. But i still dont understand why the J out/maneuver kill was not added for AIR sim?

This is the game mode where some bad intentioned players do this to deny kills.

Regular bombs getting hit while in the air or even on the plane? Big explosion

Bomb with a timer getting shot after hitting the ground? Nothing

Nuke? Invincible because people complained about their nukes getting destroyed

Love it

Regarding the coming M7 medium tank, I want to bring attention to the fact that the bow gunner in the hull had his own set of driving controls, and could act as a redundant driver in-game if the main driver is knocked out, as is already seen on vehicles like the AMD.35 or AB41.

“Stuart - A History of the American Light Tank” by R. P. Hunnicutt, page 206

This was not a novel feature. It was carried over from the M5 Stuart family, and existed on basically every subsequent US tank, barring the Shermans, up until it was axed on the M47 Patton and M41 Bulldog.

Since we’re getting yet another example of a vehicle with this feature, it would be nice to see this quirk of US vehicles finally implemented.

Exploiting is players that crash or j out on purpose to deny your kills

I don’t think it ever got AIM-7Ps.

20km for naval mode…great for botting gameplay, where players set up two bot farms playing against each other :)

it did and can use the AIM-7P, it just cant use the DL on the missile lol

as such it would only bring IOG as an upgrade

Meanwhile in Sim you can easily kill with missiles if you want to farm, this mechanic will not help them

not an MFD page.

On the ground it will be annoying, cause team players regulalrly J out of their vehicle, when a different role is needed. Now someone gets the kill + spawn points for it. Time for a way to leave the current vehicle without J out.

Generate a mechanism to punish anyone exploiting this, instead of punishing the rest of the SIM EC players!!! It wouldn’t be too difficult to make some server algorithm that detects repeated and setup/arranged crashes. Review them and ban them, for life.

Of course now the rest of the actual players are being punished because there are some people trying to exploit. It’s always like that. SIM EC rewards already are very bad. And then there are people intentionally crashing to deny kills. Its a big problem.

People exploiting, people intentionally crashing to deny the kills. And from all of this the only ones being punished are the people actually playing this game. It makes me very very much NOT want to play this game anymore. Its SO incredibly unfair.

You should work to shot enemies down, rather than requesting free kills, just cause someone decides to J out.

I would, but i’m not DEV. I’d fix the AIM-54s also!

When are the devs going to fix this? It’s a pretty serious issue.

It’s been 4 and 3 years since they were reported. Something tells me that the reports section is pretty neglected, or that the devs only fix the problems they want to fix, ignoring many accepted reports.

Sorry to bother you but do we have any news on Korean vehicles?

I make plenty of kills. Still, when maneuvring somebody into the ground in a dogfight, it actually is your kill. Maneuver kills are an actual real thing. Even when somebody manages to stall me out, he is the one that should be credited the kill and I feel bad for him. It’s so unfair.

Also, every other mode getting these maneuver kills, except SIM where maneuver kills are like an actual thing. Give me a break. If any mode deserves maneuver kills, its sim and not friggin arcade.
