So what’s that “…” tank in Thai tech tree?
Maybe you guys just deliberately concealing it’s a VT-4?
How about F16C upgrade? aim120c and maybe new radar, maws etc? bcs with the addition of aim120a for F16ADF there will be no point in playing F16C in air to air combat scenario. By this it can go to 14.0 and compete with top tier jets like SU30 EF2K, Rafale…
Well, you’re both right: It’s on one hand possible, but on the other hand sometimes (ehm, more often than not…) quite buggy and iffy.
i think theyre plotting the oplot
Hope you are right.
To clarify, In the next major update, we won’t be adding a VT-4 to the Thailand sub tree. Other vehicles are planned to come to this branch in this update as detailed within the community update news. With one surpise left that we didn’t directly list.
Won’t be adding yet or at all?
I’m very happy that Taiwan’s F-16A will be able to use 120 C/M and AIM-9M missiles
I can’t wait for the F-16V YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This community update is reffering to this current upcoming major update.
Thanks for the update in general.
So the VT4 for Thailand is still a possibility in the future? That would certainly be nice.
please be scorpion 90, we need more CVR(T)s,
Nice! This made me smile, having those older sluggish planes against the most modern jets is just so painful. I really glad to see this and cant wait to test it out later :)
Oh heck yes! Finally! Much needed addition! I really hope it’s implemented well.
I really hope you also consider my already passed suggestion on radar symbology as well, i made it long before i even became a GM ( Radar HUD IFF indicator Update ). Currently it’s often to hard to make out the symbols in many situations as well as differentiating them using IFF when the targets overlap either with the UI or eachother.
Do… Do they… Do they sting… Super much? ;)
This i like, that means that if someone brings CAS and get destroyed its harder to bring CAS again but easier to bring CAP. Any plans for decreased cost for anti air loadouts on planes? Currently they cost almost 10x of an SPAA but i doubt they perform 10x better in matches.
This i like :)
It’s either this or removing the function all together but i think i like this option better as that is what those types of drones are used for IRL.
Honestly, the complete opposite, i’m REALLY glad that this is the case. Implementing 5’th gen without first having those mechanics in place would just diminish the actual capabilities of those aircraft into just “turns better, flies faster and has newer missiles” when what make them 5’th gen in the first place is so many other things. I honestly think this should have been the line of thinking earlier, many of the current top tier aircraft could potentially be drastically different with the release of such mechanics and might even result in the need to change their BR placement depending on what mechanic is added to the game.
I hope to see this line of thinking more often, for longer term plans and for all vehicles. Many of the mechanics of vehicles are what make them unique and interesting in the first place, not having those mechanics in-game before the vehicle is released is sort of sad and risk disappointing many players who are knowledgeable of what those vehicles are really capable of had the mechanics come with the release of the vehicle (or before the release).
In general though, lots of nice changes here and i really hope to see more QoL and game-mechanic focused updates in the future as well :)
Truly ploting something !
As for the other « controversy » just above, do you know if a revamp of IR missiles could come at some point ?
It’s pretty clear that the range of MANPAD and other IR missiles against « cold » targets such as Helis and Drones is wayyy to low (cant lock a scout drone above 1.5km), which, coupled with poor short range performances, makes destroying those scout drones barely possible.
And being able to scout the entire enemy team from spawn shouldn’t be as easy as it is currently (basically only AHEAD auto cannons - which only a select few nations currently have - and top tier Sam can reliably deal with those puny drones)
Could you please add more aircraft in the 8.0 to 11.0 range. There many variants that could be added. MiG-17F, F-86H and CAC Sabres, many different A-4 variants, F-8 Crusader variants… there’s still plenty of aircraft in this BR range to be added
Glad to hear that.
And if that tank was T-84M. That will be COOOOOOOOOOOL
I’m crazy about a ERA monster.
Aaaand it’s a battlecruiser
WW1 stuff. Something like Derfflinger or Mackensen
hah!
kinda shame, I was looking forward to Sparrow F-16 and I dont have japan grinded whatsoever.
excellent news!
also extremely nice!
Even more excellent news!
ooooooof. not a fan whatsoever.
You know beside the scouting UAV thing, I think its overall excellent news.
I just feel its shame all of these issues arent communicated more frequently.
All the bad blood that couldve been avoided if there was simply a mention of more internal modules.
Anyway, looking forward to these things being added!
In the leviathan update they’ve made drones way easier to take down, ive had no issues with dealing with them now.
